Regular Show

Regular Show” is an animated comedy series that follows Mordecai, a blue jay, and Rigby, a raccoon, two best friends who turn their dull jobs as groundskeepers at a local park into wild, surreal misadventures. Created by J.G. Quintel and premiered on Cartoon Network on September 6, 2010, the show ran for eight seasons until January 16, 2017.

What Is “Regular Show” About?

“Regular Show” centers on Mordecai (voiced by J.G. Quintel) and Rigby (William Salyers), twentysomething slackers who’d rather play video games than work. Employed at a park managed by their uptight gumball-machine boss, Benson, their attempts to avoid chores spiral into chaos—think magical golf carts, time-traveling babies, or rap battles with sentient cassette tapes. Joined by a quirky crew—Pops (a naive lollipop man), Skips (a wise yeti), and Muscle Man (a loudmouth green guy)—the duo’s antics blend everyday boredom with psychedelic absurdity, all while dodging Benson’s wrath.
