Don't worry, Pops!

We're coming!

Look, there's Pops!

Pops!

Mordecai, Rigby, hello!

Pops, we've come to bring you back!

But I don't want to come back.

I like it here.

But what about your speech?

I don't want to give the speech.

But we spent all this time preparing.

You're just gonna blow it off now?

Yes.

This is ridiculous.

Come on, Pops, let's go.

You're coming back with us.

No, I'm not.

Pops, let's go.

I said no!

Now listen here.

I've gone through enough turmoil because of this confounded speech.

Why is it me that needs to speak?

Surely there are those more qualified than I.

I hate speaking in front of crowds and we've tried every which way for it to work, but I just simply cannot do it

Why am I like this?

I don't know, but surely my father must understand

that there are limits to my abilities I'll never be able to give a speech and that's just fine by me

Never say never pops.

What do you mean?

You just gave a speech

Oh my I did I did give a speech

Yeah, I guess you didn't get nervous because you weren't facing the crowd.

It's true.

I didn't feel nervous at all

Friends, I'm sorry, but I have to leave you now indeed.

You do have to leave for you.

Have broken the law.

No speeches That's all we got

Pops!

Skips, pull us up!

Pops, you're awake!

Benson, my good man!

Pardon me, I just came back from this strange and wonderful place!

Okay, sure, but can you still give the speech?

Oh yes, I'm finally prepared!

Thank goodness.

We just have to get this trash off his face.

Nah, it's cool.

Pops is gonna give his speech facing backwards anyway, so...

What?

You idiots!

This isn't some kind of joke!

He can't give a major speech in front of a distinguished crowd facing backwards!

If Mr. Mallard sees this, we're all gonna get fired!

Give me the marker.

Turn around, Pops.

We're dead.

Ahem.

Ladies and gentlemen, I hereby dedicate this new statue to the bar.

Bravo, bravo, bravo.

That's a whole speech?

You got a fine boy there, maylord. That went pretty well.

Are you kidding?

You can't fire me.

I thought of the marker thing.

Yeah, we totally saved you this time, Vincent.

Ah!

Quick!

Mailer, it's coming!

Son, you gave a fine speech up there.

I'm so proud of you.

Oh, thank you, Papa.

Thank you.

You pulled it together out there today, ball bucket.

Good job.

Thank you, sir.

It was.. no trouble.

What was that?

We're the ones that found Pops.

And sent him into shock and desecrated his face.

Let's go clean you up, Pops.

This party sucks.

You want to go back to that dizzy world?

Yes.

Lift the legs, Bobby!

The legs!

Like my mom!

You killing me, man!

Yeah, I don't know about that.

Well, I'm glad this is finally over.

Come on, it wasn't that...

Dude, you just passed the park.

What's the hurry, Grandma?

We have all day.

Let's have some fun.

Come on, dude.

Just give him a chance.

Don't need nothing but a good time

100

How dead I resist Ain't looking for nothing but a good time

101

And it don't get better than this

102

103

But I couldn't tell you where I spent last night

104

I'm real sorry about the shape I'm in I just unlock my phone every now and then I'm always working for you

105

Dude, Muscle Man's pretty cool.

106

All except for those my mom jokes.

107

Dude, I'm gonna say something.

108

No, don't.

109

Don't try to change Muscle Man.

110

It's not cool.

111

Hey, guys.

112

I haven't had quality bro time like this in ages.

113

We should do this all the time.

114

I know I mess around a lot, but you guys are the best.

115

Hey, Mordecai.

116

You know who else messes around a lot?

117

Dude, you're saying it wrong.

118

Mordecai?

119

What was that, bro?

120

Muscle Man, that joke doesn't make any sense.

121

Whenever you say stuff like that, you're making fun of your own mom.

122

It should be your mom, not my mom.

123

What do you mean?

124

Well, for example, you know who else has a gap in their teeth?

125

Your mom!

126

Or, you know who else is prematurely balding?

127

Your mom!

128

Rigby, help me out.

129

You know who else finds their clothes in the garbage?

130

Your mom!

131

You know who else lives in their car?

132

Your mom!

133

You know who else has fat ankles?

134

Your mom!

135

You know who else can't tell a...

136

Are you making fun of my mom?

137

You're making fun of my mom.

138

No one makes fun of my mom.

139

Yo, little brother, my ears are ringing.

140

Is someone making fun of our mom?

141

Yeah, they are, bro.

142

Oh, no, bro.

143

I know, bro.

144

That's it.

145

I'm coming up there.

146

You ladies are about to wish you were never born.

147

Get out of the cart.

148

You're going to get it.

149

Nobody makes fun of my mom.

150

Nobody.

151

Which one of you girls was talking about my mom?

152

Was it you, Tiny?

153

Or you, Stringbean?

154

We were just...

155

So was both of you!

156

I think they hurt mom's feelings, bro.

157

You hurt our mom's feelings.

158

Pay her a compliment.

159

Tell her she's beautiful.

160

Tell her!

161

Uh, you're beautiful, Muscle Man's mom.

162

Now kiss the photo and say you're sorry.

163

Sorry.

164

Sorry?

165

Fire up the grill, bro.

166

Eat this picture of my mom, or you'll be sorry.

167

Please don't make us eat the picture.

168

243

244

245

I respect your decision.

246

Just don't do it on my time ever again.

247

Make sure the game's still paused.

248

249

250

Yeah, that's what we've been saying the whole time.

251

I thought you were lying.

252

Why would we do that?

253

Because you're not good enough at anything to get to the hammer.

254

What is the Shadowing Technique?

Shadowing is a science-backed language learning technique originally developed for professional interpreter training and popularized by polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. The method is simple but powerful: you listen to native English audio and immediately repeat it out loud — like a shadow following the speaker with just a 1–2 second delay. Unlike passive listening or grammar drills, shadowing forces your brain and mouth muscles to simultaneously process and reproduce real speech patterns. Research shows it significantly improves pronunciation accuracy, intonation, rhythm, connected speech, listening comprehension, and speaking fluency — making it one of the most effective methods for IELTS Speaking preparation and real-world English communication.
