"Trailer Trashed" is the twenty-seventh episode of Regular Show's fourth season (and one hundred-sixth episode overall). It first aired on May 27, 2013.
Synopsis
Muscle Man tries to save his trailer after it fails a health inspection.
Plot
The episode begins with Benson announcing to everyone that a new health inspector will be visiting the Park, to check if everything is healthy and clean around the Park. He arrives and goes through everything. He says The Park is just healthy enough to be approved. However, he goes inside Muscle Man's trailer. He informs everyone he will have to take the trailer to the dump. Muscle Man disagrees, saying it's the third best thing to happen to him since he won it in a hot dog eating contest. Muscle Man begins to cry until Benson chimes in saying that he has 24 hours to clean it since it's the law. The man agrees and everyone goes inside to see why it's supposedly "un-healthy." They experience what is inside, which includes trash everywhere and basically a disaster. Pops then notes that everyone can clean it, so it can't be taken to the dump. Shortly after, everyone gets to work and clean everything.
Once they complete it, the trailer looks as good as it did when first obtained by Muscle Man. The inspector arrives and gets some of his henchmen to destroy the things that the employees did to make it look better. This prompts an angered Muscle Man to punch him in the face. To the inspector's anger, he drives away, warning he's coming back with an army. Everyone becomes worried about him bringing an army, but Muscle Man says that they can stand up to them. He calls his brother, John and tells him to help them bring the truck too. Later, at the dump, the inspector gets his army and they head to the Park to get the trailer. At the Park, John gets everything loaded into the truck and everyone has arrived except Hi Five Ghost.
Muscle Man doesn't worry and explains that things are about to get dangerous, with Thomas asking if they can get overtime instead. Mordecai tells him not to get scared. The inspector and his army arrive and everyone gets into their positions. Muscle Man gets into the truck with John and they drive away. The army goes after Muscle Man, John, Mordecai, Rigby, Benson, Skips, Pops and Thomas down the border. Everyone defends the trailer (which is loaded into the truck) but the army becomes stronger and manages to take out everyone else and leaving only Muscle Man and John left. The inspector catches up to Muscle Man & John and begins knocking on the window. John is grabbed and is pulled out of the window of the truck, so Muscle Man has to steer the truck.
Muscle Man almost reaches the border until he is attacked by the inspector and caused him to change the course of the truck towards a cliff. The inspector then reveals himself as Frank Jones, the same person who was the runner-up that Muscle Man easily beat for the trailer in the hot dog eating contest by using water to mush the hot dogs. (It wasn't until Frank removed his glasses so that Muscle Man remembers). He accuses Muscle Man that using water to mush his food at the hotdog eating contest was cheating, though Muscle Man protests that using water to mush his food in the contest was a legal move and says that it's how Japan wins all the time, just as Frank claims that the trailer is "his". Muscle Man gives in and says if he wants it so badly, then he can have it, as he ties his shirt to the steering wheel and tears off the brake pad before jumping out of the truck. Frank gets out and scrambles for the trailer in the back of the truck, but he finds out that this was all just a prank setup by Muscle Man, as he falls down the cliff along with the truck and gets killed from the explosion as Muscle Man looks down to the gorge and says "Gotcha Bro". Everyone arrives at the scene and apologizes for not being able to save Muscle Man's the trailer and Pops offers Muscle Man to stay in the house until he can find a new vehicle to live in, but Muscle Man reveals to everyone that his trailer is actually still back at the Park and that Hi-Five Ghost has been guarding it with a bazooka the whole time. He then reveals that his plan was to have everyone believe they were heading to the border and then let the inspector take the bait which he ended up falling for that easily by him. John then scrambles out from the bushes, looking all bruised and less injured as he asks Muscle Man if they got him and he replies "Yeah, we got him bro" as he cheers for his brother and gives him a high five and asks Muscle Man where his truck is, which makes Muscle Man frown as the episode comes to an end.

Trivia
- Muscle Man revealed that he got his trailer by winning it in a hot dog eating contest.
- When Frank Jones introduces himself at the beginning of the episode, Muscle Man does not recognize him as the runner-up of the hot dog eating contest. However, this could be because he was as bored as everyone else about the inspection and was not listening.
- Thomas asks if they're receiving overtime for helping Muscle Man. However in a prior episode, Thomas reveals he's an unpaid intern.

Pop Culture References
- The thugs hired by Frank Jones and the hockey mask worn by Frank during his announcement before attacking are similar to Lord Humongous and his gang from the Mad Max series specifically Mad Max 2: The Road Warrior.
Goofs

- Hi Five Ghost didn't know how bad Muscle Man's trailer was despite living in there himself.
- When Muscle Bro rejoined the group after the inspector's death, Rigby, Benson and Pops were standing by the cliff, yet somehow, after Muscle Man told Muscle Bro the prank worked, they magically teleported right next to Mordecai, Skips and Thomas.
