I personally feel as though this episode of Regular Show captures the true essence and spirit of what made BBC One's Balloon idents from 1997 to 2002 so great. Just the way they were able to enjoy the view of the Seeds of Agony while Rigby managing to keep it a surprise for Eileen the whole time, really invoked a certain emotion that I had also gotten with those Balloon idents. It's very fitting too, as the Seeds of Agony itself works off of the same principle.
The build up to the ending was also what made this episode so great. I get why Rigby wanted to make this experience a true surprise for Eileen. It sucks having every surprise ruined by it being figured out instantly, so after many attempts for Rigby to make a true surprise for Eileen, he decided that this would be the one that would actually work. And... well... it did work, thankfully!
Also, in my opinion this episode was released during the absolute peak moment of Regular Show, and especially when it comes to Rigby becoming a much better person. Of course, there's Eileen to thank for this character development, and it's really what makes their relationship so great in general. Seeing Rigby from where he was at in the earlier seasons to where he is at in this point, is just so beautiful, and so the surprise in this episode for Eileen just felt extra special.
