Wow easily one of the best pilots of a tv show let alone a cartoon. The chemistry between the cast especially Mordecai and Rigby feels so genuine and fluid and they feel like they have been lifelong friends since the opening scene. What I love about this show is the plots usually start off not slow but just with such a simple plot like playing a game and putting a hole in a wall or in the following episode they are just setting up chairs. That's what makes this show it's starts off simple and then escalates in a direction you never see coming like a magical piano. And I think Glenn from its always sunny says it best in multiple interviews, a lot of shows are missing shock factor and that makes you want to come back to the show for the unexpected direction it goes in similar but different to It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia. Probably the best cartoon to use the technique and I love it. This episode is no different and is the episode that got me into the show for the unusual plots and very real feeling characters especially when you put into account they are a blue bird, raccoon, gum ball machine, etc. What an introduction and much more amazing episodes to come. Easily a 10/10 and a great foreshadow on what this show is gonna produce on going throughout the shows run.
