Ep 4. Carter and Briggs / Skips' Stress

Carter and Briggs / Skips' Stress are two separate storylines in Regular Show Season 6 Episode 4.

In Carter and Briggs, the goofball duo Mordecai and Rigby are tasked with picking up some parts for Benson's car. However, they end up getting sidetracked by a video store that Carter and Briggs, two 80s style bullies, are guarding. The video store is filled with rare VHS tapes that Mordecai and Rigby desperately want to borrow, but Carter and Briggs seem to have an issue with letting anyone enter the store. After some hilarious shenanigans, Carter and Briggs finally let the duo in, but as they start browsing, they're ambushed by a group of ninjas who are also after the VHS tapes. The situation escalates and Rigby and Mordecai are thrown into a wild fight that has several unexpected twists and turns.

Meanwhile in Skips' Stress, Skips is struggling to find a way to deal with the stress that's been piling up on him. Trying to find peace and relaxation, Skips decides to take the gang out on a night-time hike to the top of Muscle Mountain, a hill that he claims is one of the most serene spots in the park. After much trekking, the group reaches the top only to find out that Skips' old rival, the immortal Klorgbane the Destroyer, is also there. Klorgbane has come to challenge Skips to a game of "I've Got You In My Sights," a game that consists of shooting each other with a deadly laser until one of them surrenders. While the game is supposed to be a way to solve conflicts without violence, it soon turns into a brutal battle with the fate of the park hanging in the balance.

The two storylines have vastly different settings and themes but both offer plenty of humor and high-stakes action. Carter and Briggs is a hilarious tribute to the cheesy action movies of the 80s and is packed with references and Easter eggs for fans of the genre. Skips' Stress, on the other hand, delves into the personal struggles of the beloved yet enigmatic character of Skips and provides a great deal of insight into his backstory and motivations. Together, these two episodes continue to show why Regular Show is one of the most beloved cartoons of the 2010s.
