Shorts

• The Naive Man from Lolliland: The ambassador of Lolliland visits the United States for the first time (now called Pops in Regular Show). When eating at a restaurant, when he had to pay for the food, he paid with his currency; lollipops. His payment caused many conflicts with the chefs and workers in the restaurant. This is the first appearance of the prototype Pops and his driver is named Benson (which would later be the name of another character in Regular Show). Like Adventure Time, this short aired on Cartoon Network.
• 2 in the AM PM: Two gas station workers have to work in two-o clock in the morning during Halloween. When the two eat chocolate candy filled with LSD by one of the clerks (he accidentally said he put marijuana in the candy first) it causes them to trip and transform into different characters such as a blue jay and a gumball machine (which were the models of Mordecai and Benson respectively). When a police officer is about to enter the store, they had to concentrate to turn back to normal. They turned back but the policeman turned out to be a super alien. This short never aired on television, presumably due to its crude animation and adult content.
• Regular Show: The unaired pilot episode for J.G. Quintel's series. A blue jay and a raccoon (Mordecai and Rigby respectively) have to fight rock-paper-scissors to win over a chair which goes out of hand. This short was made for Cartoonstitute (which never aired on television but an extended version of the pilot named "First Day" aired as a Season 2 episode of Regular Show).
