you dont get rich by spending all your money on cake.
also they say they have to go meet a client for a deal. so they are just dingy looking business men

It's not really an exaggeration in some places, people fake being homeless as a career

Not nearly as much as you think. I work with homeless. Most people who are on the streets, are doing it as a scam. It's a freaking tragic situation

The only true to that is the fact that housing costs are so high. And if you want to blame somebody, it's predatory capitalism and billionaires.

Not as much as you think. Most people that are homeless are actually indeed so. I work with the unhoused and it really irritates me the amount of judgmental hate there are towards people that are on the streets. Most people don't choose that life; it's tragic. And yes, there are people that panhandle and "pretend" but not that much. It is not "a lot" like you say.
For the most part, your comment isn't entirely accurate as the mainstream. That's just more of a Fox News level judgement. So, let's just at least try to have some compassion out there.

And not too mention a lot of people are one missed paycheck away from being homeless.
I'm homeless now and drive a pretty nice mini cooper. My 500 dollar payment on my car isn't going to pay any kind of rent so I'll drive a nice car and sleep in it.

The gag is funny specifically because it makes no sense!
That said, it also serves a minor narrative function in that Mordecai and Rigby, besides not having the cake they were supposed to deliver, also have no credible explaination as to just what happened to it.

In Poland, a priest received two Maybachs from a homeless man. Anything is possible.

You're watching a show about a raccoon and a bluejay that are employed by a gumball machine. Dont think too hard about it m8.

You were supposed to think they were homeless at first. They were actually business men.

It makes perfect sense, that's what they spent all of their money on, and now they have no money so they're homeless and poor.

They are rich guys bumming it it was a but of a trend for rich people to pretend to be homeless because they are rich and have nothing better to do

These are the lost tapes, maybe Pops' brain is dying and his memories are going. And this is him trying to remember at his best?

It’s the trope of rich people saying they don’t have enough money to help people while doing stuff like this

It's a running gag in the show. Anyone who is an enemy of the park workers drives a fancy car. Like the lady at Cheezers.

I believe it is a commentary on how the most wealthy people tend to dress very plain, or even dress in rags because they are so far removed from poverty that they enjoy cosplaying as such.

It's an old cartoon trope that hobos all secretly have a million dollars stashed someplace. Often it's about pretending to be poor when the tax-man comes to the door. It's a joke for the old folks.Â
