Synopsis[]

Muscle Man gets a job in a corporate office.

Plot[]

The episode begins with a normal park meeting. Benson tells everyone what they have to do and Muscle Man has the worst and heaviest jobs. On the next day, Benson assigns Muscle Man more hard work, to which he objects. However, Benson tells him that these jobs should be easy on account of his strength. Muscle Man takes offense to this, claiming that he's as smart as he is strong. With this he quits his job at the park to work at an office job (Mordecai, Rigby and Skips doubting his ability while High Five Ghost objects to him leaving). Muscle Man soon applies for a job at a company known as Omnitech. At first, the company's office manager refuses to offer him a job, but after Muscle Man helps him open a pickle jar he changes his mind. Muscle Man is placed in the office of former employee, Ron. However, after a few hours Muscle Man finds his new job dull and boring. He then hears 3 employees laughing in their cubicles. Muscle Man meets the 3 known as the Cube Bros who introduce themselves as Randy, Andy & Gill (All 3 of them having strange similarities to Mordecai, Rigby and HFG). The 3 of them doubt Muscle Man has the skills to replace Ron, causing him to study hard in the field of data ethics.

The next day, Muscle Man has fully learned the basics by reading many books. The Cube Bros are impressed with all of the books Muscle Man read (more importantly lifting all of them at the same time) and they accept him into their inner circle. Meanwhile, back at the park, the other groundskeepers are having a tough time doing Muscle Man's work. They begin to miss him and they go to Omnitech to persuade him to come back to the park. When they arrive, they meet the Cube Bros who decide Muscle Man will be promoted to corporate. Mordecai, Rigby, and Fives try to convince Muscle Man that being in an office isn't for him, but Muscle Man objects not wanting to go back to being only appreciated for his strength. Fives sadly leaves with Mordecai and Rigby and congratulates Muscle Man on his promotion.

The Cube Bros show Muscle Man to Ron's corporate office. Muscle Man is excited when he sees the giant portrait door of Ron. But when the portrait opens, Ron's corporate office is just a hamster wheel that generates electricity for the office and Ron's lifeless skeleton is on it. It is revealed that all of Omnitech's employees (or "office drones") are literally robots and they only needed Muscle Man's body to generate power for them. Mordecai, Rigby, and Fives go back to save Muscle Man and fight all of the office drones. Muscle Man tries to prove he is smart by hacking the main computer, but it is just solitare. Gill mocks Muscle Man for his low intelligence and demands that he forgets about his friends and start generating power for the company. Muscle Man uses his strength to throw the massive computer at Gill and it activates a self destruct sequence. The park employees all dive out the window as the building explodes. Muscle Man attempts to prove he is smart one last time by telling unfunny computer jokes at the coffee shop. The episode ends with Mordecai saying "Well, at least he's strong."

Trivia[]

  • Andy, Randy and Gill resemble the park workers; Rigby, Mordecai and Hi Five Ghost respectively. Furthermore, Muscle Man introduces one another as "cube bros" and "park bros". This could be a ploy by the creators of what may happen if Rigby, Mordecai and Hi Five Ghost get office jobs.
  • Randy, who looks like Mordecai, also looks like the voice actor of Mordecai and creator of the series J.G. Quintel.
  • Skips is revealed to be very smart and does the Park taxes.

Episode Connections[]

  • Muscle Man does another bad comedy act the same way he did the first time in "Under the Hood."

Pop Culture References[]

  • This episode reference several memes such as when Andy asks Muscle Man if he lifts, when Muscle Man saw Ron's portrait and says he didn't skip leg day and finally when Muscle Man says that escalated quickly after the company got blown up (this also doubles as a reference to the film Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy. The original quote was "Boy... That escalated quickly. I mean, That really got out of hand fast!)
  • The name Omnitech may be a possible reference to the company name Initech from the movie Office Space.
  • This episode bears some resemblance to the plot of the Season One SpongeBob SquarePants episode, "Nature Pants".
  • The robots closely resemble those present in the "Terminator" film franchise.
  • Gill's laugh at the end of the episode is most likely a reference to the film "Predator", where the titular character laughed before self-destructing as a last stitch effort to kill the protagonists.
