The Night Owl

Synopsis
Mordecai, Rigby, Muscle Man, and High-Five Ghost team up to win a car in a radio contest hosted by the Night Owl, a radio talk show host. The four must remain on a billboard catwalk longer than the other contestants. They succeed to drive everyone off of the catwalk, but the Night Owl does not want the contest to end so quickly, as he wants to become famous for it. He tricks the four of them into thinking they all want the car for themselves, and freezes them in a fighting state with nitrogen. They wake up in the distant future, and discover that the Night Owl fooled them all. Now, they must team up to escape the museum that has been built around the contest. Note: This episode is actually before Over The Top, but the airdates have changed. Also, this is High-Five Ghosts's most primary speaking appearance, unlike other episodes with brief lines.

Plot
In a future timeline, Mordecai, Rigby, Muscle Man, and High-Five Ghost are drinking soda and listening to the radio, where they suddenly hear a broadcast from the Night Owl, who says that there is a contest where anyone can win a vintage car if they are the last person standing on a local billboard. The guys decide to work together to win the car, hitching a tent on the billboard. Then work together to get the other contestants off through various methods, which ultimately works, leading them to surpass the finals. Unfortuantely, the Night Owl refuses to believe that the four are just working together to win the car, so he manages to tell them that the others are planning to take the car for themselves.

As they start fighting, the Night Owl puts a strange tube inside their tent and fills it up with liquid nitrogen, planning to do this just to make himself famous. The contest goes on for several days, weeks, months, years, decades, and ultimately centuries. Finally, the liquid nitrogen melts and frees the guys, where they learn that they are in the year 4224 A.D. and that they are inside a display case with them, their tent, the billboard, and the car.

A security guard catches them free and attempts to prevent them from escaping, but they hot-wire the car to activate and escape by crashing through the display case. The Future Mordecai, Rigby, Muscle Man and High Five Ghost decide to go find the time machine exhibit to get back to the past while being chased by more security guards. They manage to get away from the security guards and get to the time machine exhibit, but they are encountered by the Night Owl, who has lived for thousands of years by placing his head inside a owl-like robot.

They defeat the Night Owl by knocking over his robot body, and use the time machine to get back to the first day of the contest. They reach the period when the Night Owl was going to use the billboard, car, and liquid nitrogen in an attempt to make himself famous, but his plan is now foiled when the guys crash into the set and punch the guy to the ground for using them to be famous. As they are walking back to the park, they are being watched by their past selves and look confused as the future gang plan to theoretically murder their former selves.
