<----- It's Time :Previous|Next: Peeps ----->
==Summary==
"Appreciation Day" is the 15th episode of the series and the 3rd episode of the 2nd season. Every park employee is present.
==Explanation==
Everyone at the park except Mordecai and Rigby receive appreciation plaques, as Benson remarks that the two only "slack off and mess up". They try to persuade Benson, but they always mess up when he is around, so Mordecai and Rigby decide to write false stories in Benson’s park records book to make themselves look better. The two write that they're Benson's favorite employees, that they served him pancakes, worked hard on their chores, and that they helped an injured Skips while fighting "Snowballs the Ice Monster" during a blizzard. However, Mordecai and Rigby soon realize that everything they wrote in the book becomes reality. Snowballs the ice monster comes to life and begins to wreak havoc around the park. Benson starts to give Mordecai and Rigby their plaques, but they take his book instead. They start to change their story, but Snowballs steals the book cover from Mordecai and starts ripping out the pages. As Rigby tries to retrieve the cover of the book and the pages, he is eaten and killed by Snowballs. Mordecai retrieves the book and glues the pages back together, wishing that everything would turn back to normal. The blizzard disappears, and Benson scolds Mordecai and the newly-revived Rigby for messing up yet again, leading Rigby to say, "What? Still no appreciation plaques?"
