Mordecai was a shitty friend a lot of the times.
Did anyone else hate this episode? Like Rigby was getting beat by two guys twice his size literally the entire time.

Both were pretty shitty to each other in the first seasons tbh.
Rigby didn't constantly hit Mordecai for every annoying thing he did.
Also forgot the episode name I was talking about. "Jinx"
Can't say he didn't try
This. Rigby was far too compulsive, jumping into action with his first gut reaction. Mordecai was a douche for constantly lashing out, but at least had some justification because Rigby sometimes just needed a smack to get him to stop. Though the problem there was that Mordecai usually didn't do it BEFORE Rigby initiated the episode's latest disaster.
Really, it's amazing that the two were able to remain friends with how they kept treating each other. Even most siblings would start to get weary of one another if their relationship were getting to the point that hitting one another was pretty much mandatory, much less two really good friends.
Normal people: hitting your friend is bad

Mordecai was physically and mentally abusive. And took advantage of Rigby being smaller and unable to fight back
Which is funny. Some of you on here seem to forget its a comedy
Oh, ok. We're supposed to feel bad for Mordecai when he's too much of a pussy to ask out Margaret or refuses to shower but when he beats up his child-sized friend for being mildly annoying, THEN it's for the comedy. OK.
Not like we've EVER seen episodes of this show that wanted you to feel bad for the characters, no.
Yes, its pretty obvious from the tone of the scene
when youre supposed to take something seriously
>It's only acceptable for someone to suffer when it's funny
That sounds double standard to me. Is that why Cinemaphile thinks Ed Edd n Eddy is not the worst western cartoon ever? Also, comedy is subjective.
Well what do you want? For him to FRICK his child-size friend instead?
yeah
Mordecai was closer to kissing himself than Rigby
Baaaaaaased
>admit it benson

Well now that you mention it....
What the frick is wrong with you people
Where do think we are?
calm your breasts. this is tame compared to what i've seen
What uh...what kind of Regular Show fanart did you see man?
scat fetish, rape, mordecai and rigby being in an abusive relationship, rigby wanting to commit suicide, rigby cutting himself, benson being tortured, cooking alive fetish art, etc.
morby sfw fluff art is nothing
Huh...I only remember the Mordo/Rigs self-cannibalism and Benson/Gorillaz art. Nothing to the extent of the cooking alive junk. Did you see that stuff on Tumblr?
More importantly. What ever happened to that artist?
Unfortunately people can't enjoy dudebro friendships without making it something like that. Especially since they're furries. The only decent Regular Show threads I've been in were semi-active livethreads when new episodes were airing, because sometimes people just talked about what was happening in the episode and then the thread died. Towards the end there was a furry into Rigby that kept posting cutesy fluffy art from some artist on Tumblr though.
>there was a furry into Rigby that kept posting cutesy fluffy art from some artist on Tumblr though.
I fricking hate people like this, the cancer killing Cinemaphile
So true.
Is it still there or did the artist delete his or her account?
Reminds me that theres a surprising big amount of fanart and fanfics shipping these two
What? All that jazz has to be by the same person, right?
While most art seems to be done by one person, i remember seeing drawings and fics of this ship way before, like in 2012 or 2013, made both by english and spanish users
What kinda fics?
I remember a spanish NSFW fanfic in which Daggett gets a job on the park and gets into a relationship with Rigby, and while they have sex is revealed the reason of why he's there is because he caught his brother having sex with Perry the platypus, who he had a crush on, also Perry was with Daggett because he needed comfort after finding out that Doofenshmirtz has been cheating on him with a panda.
PERRY THE HOMEWRECKER!
Mordecai and Rigby had one thing going for it none of the other relationships did:
It couldn't have produced any of those half-breed monstrosities we saw in the finale.
Was there...was there a pre-lude to this comic or is it just a latch-less Benson exiling the 2 gaybos after finding them out? It truly is a Christian comic when the creator removes a "lewd" part of a character solely for their message.
It's a reference to God casting Adam and Eve from the Garden of Eden.
Ah. Nice touch.
He should take advantage of rigby being smaller and stretch his bunghole
Not with his simp energy he would. Hehe, he's not even that desperate.
People whitewash Rigby’s actions in early Regular Show way too much and it’s getting kind of old. Mordecai is still trash though.
Mordecai will get hardcore femdommed and abused by his gf/wife as karmetic justice while Rigby has an awesome wife and life so it works out
Mordo literally admits in the graduation episode that he has a superiority complex over rigby, he's a piece of shit through and through, I hope he's not quintel's self insert
He literally is lmao. Same voice actor.
Two in the A.M. P.M. had a guy that looks like JG turn into Mordecai, so that seems that.
>Self insert is when you voice a character
No, that's not how it works.
They're both butthole brodudes to each other because that's their entire dynamic, but in this episode, and honestly most of them, it was fair for Mordecai to slap Rigby upside the head for being a moron, because he was being a moron. Now if you want to complain about people bullying Rigby, there's always the time Mordecai killed him, Skips killed him, Hi-Five killed him, Benson sent him and Mordecai on a death trip, Pops killed him technically kind of sort of, Muscle Man almost killed him, and so on.
Wait, what were the last three?
>Benson death trip
When he sent them to get a new cart.
>Pops killed him
When he and Anti-Pops did their universe brofist
>Muscle Man almost killed him
When he was Rigby's hand holder for a day.
Oh yeah, didn't Muscle Man have to be revived?
hey dude remember when i used muscleman's wedding as a soapbox stage for my break up with cj?
What was it with fricking CN shows having the MCs nuke their relationships?
>Mordecai destroys one of the best relations he has with a girl who actively cares about him
>Finn deliberately pits his girlfriend and archnemesis against one another because it gets his rocks off
>Ben accidentally breaks up with a girl in what feels like the most unrealistic phonecall ever written in media
>>Finn deliberately pits his girlfriend and archnemesis against one another because it gets his rocks off
Bubblegum and Flame princess did that himself. If anything Bubblegum was leading finn on
Flame Princess genuinely cared about Finn, and then he had to go full moron and set her against Ice King, who despite being literally insane, was able to see what Finn did and say "Dude, you're a fricking moron"
being moronic and doing moronic stuff that's self-destructive is part of the being-a-boy experience
For Mordecai it's more so because he's an actual self insert for J,G. Quintel and inherits his own flaws. Finn (for most of the early show) is a prepubescent child who's also the only one of his own species navigating a world where the only living source of guidance is a talking dog, cut him a bit of slack.
That's kind of the point of the show. Mordecai acted like he was the superior one in their relationship, but over time it became clear that he was the stunted manchild who refused to change or grow while Rigby learned from his experiences and became a better person.
FRICK YOU, GUYS! MORDECAI IS A FANTASTIC FRIEND. FIRST OF ALL, WITHOUT HIM, RIGBY WOULD BE ON THE STREETS OR BE FORCED TO LIVE WITH THE BROTHER HE HATES. RIGBY IS UNEDUCATED, PHYSICALLY USELESS, AND LAZY, SO THAT NO SANE COMPANY WOULD HIRE HIM. THE ONLY REASON WHY HE HAS A JOB IS MORDECAI, OUR KIND-HEARTED ANGEL, VOUCHED FOR HIM, DESPITE RIGBY BEING THE REASON WHY MORDECAI LOST HIS FUTURE! HOW DOES RIGBY REPAY HIM? TAUNTS HIM EVERY CHANCE HE GETS, ALMOST GET HIM FIRED EVERY EPISODE, LIES TO HIM CONSTANTLY, AND THREATENS TO STEAL HIS LOVELIFE.
>FORCED TO LIVE WITH THE BROTHER HE HATES.
Rigby is literally made for the streets. It's in his genes. He canonically likes to eat stuff out of the trash, so why deny him his purpose? Why say he is forced if he can just dive into a dumpster any time he pleases (secretly) AND get some dough from his bro? Besides, Mordecai (kind of) had some potential as an art school student. He might have found his footing. Plus, both of them not being at the park would mean less stress for Benson and less hospital visits.
Rigby should realistically be eligible for disability pay. Dude is physically unable to do physical labor cause he's 1/4 the size of most of his family members.
>THREATENS TO STEAL HIS LOVELIFE
It's not his fault Margaret wasn't turning him away.
>MORDECAI IS A FANTASTIC FRIEND
Real world begs to differ.
Bro this dude is an art school drop out and absolute loser. When he got dumped he let his life go to shit so fast it's a wonder how he even had it together as he did. I don't remember but Iswear there's futures where you see he's fat and bald and Rigby isn't there. Motherfricker makes him sleep on a TRAMPOLINE. i don't care if he lost punchies. That's bullshit. Remember when Rigby couldn't do a pull-up and instead of helping him, Mord just laughed and walked away and EILEEN had to help Rigby?
Rigby's only problem is his seething jealousy of his brother and the fact that he lets himself get dragged down by Mord
He only dropped out because he thought he wasn't good enough. Once he learned the truth, he returned and made a career of himself and found the love of his life. Rigby was celebrated for getting his diploma, but he did NOTHING with it. Eileen does the work while Rigby stay at home. You might as well use it as toilet paper.
wait a minute didn't Mordecai manipulate events so Rogby didn't get his diploma? I could be wrong
it was the other way around, rigby hid mordacai's college acceptance letter after highschool
Ohhh frick okay. Yeah Rigby is an butthole and all events that made Mordo as spergy as he is are Rigby's fault and he deserves to be punched daily by his friend.
Now you're getting it
Ready for the ultimate mindfrick? It's quite possible to interpret Mordecai's train wreck of a wedding speech as an attempted proposal to CJ. He starts talking about how its like Muscle Man and Starla were designed to be together, which is an obvious reference to he and Margret also sharing the same basic character design in the classic "look-alike lovers" cartoon trope before he launches into the "but you don't know who you're supposed to be with" AS A REJECTION OF THE TROPE.
And then he loses track of what he's saying and everyone else including CJ is unaware of the trope. It's like for a brief moment he was Genre Aware but it was too much for him to keep straight in his mind and CJ interrupted it anyway.
I thought I was the only one who thought about the additional awkwardness of if he was trying to say something good to CJ and she misunderstood, since ultimately everyone just sees it as the primary "dumping" thing and nothing more.
Rigby ultimately just turned into wish fulfillment for women/her VA Minty Lewis. He became "that boy you fix and becomes an uwu stay at home dad while you're out being an awesome scientist or whatever." I remember when I first saw the finale I thought the point was that Rigby became a video game designer and his kids were playing his game, but no one of the writers answered "it's up to your interpretation :D" which means they clearly let him be the stay at home dad while Eileen is the breadwinner.
It's sad. Mordecai had a thought-out ending but nothing about Rigby should've been "eh, he's a stay at home dad." Even just doing something with him learning to make games would've had the bare minimum of a basis since they had an ep in season 7 where he makes one for Mordecai's birthday. It even had the same half-assed "didn't actually" vibe that his diploma-getting did where he fricked around and cheated the system by doing something else and it being seen as development.
>When he got dumped
Even better:
>Gain a girlfriend that was genuinely interested in him and was willing to give him a second chance
>Instead of settling in, keeps fueling his MUHGRET oneitis, despite her having NO feelings for him other than baseline friendship
>Decides to tell everyone gathered at Muscleman's wedding how he doesn't know which relationship is meant for him
Mordecuck has the social awareness of an /LULZ/ incel, to the point where he might as well ask Steven Universe and Gumball for dating tips.
Steven got a girl without even trying.
If anything, Connie was the one who had a crush on him.
In his defense Margret and him did have a relationship but broke it off for journalism school. Out of his defense, he already had something good going and frankly no chemistry with Margaret. CJ's only real flaw was she had a violent temper, but Mordechai literally didn't care.
Wasn't the whole point of the movie about taking responsibility for your past even when you thought you ere past it? Rigby wasn't any worse for this because that was the kind of shitty person he was before he got his shit together. It was about Rigby owning up to the biggest mistake of his past and Mordechai forgiving him is Mordechai being the better man rather than resenting his friend for something he regrets and has grown beyond.
This though. Rigby honestly just needed better friends. It's difficult to find anything redeemable about Mordecai. He has a superiority complex, he's a simp and lacks social skills and he never grows as a person.
Rigby was an annoying piece of shit in the first seasons, I never watched the second half of the series.
It is fuking Rigby. I want to hit him in almost every episode if someone deserves it it's him. Mordekai isn't perfect either but Rigby is a piece of trash.
I bet Benson wanted to do so every chance he got but since he's the H.R. guy it would be very hypocritical of him to do so. Oh, and goodnight anon. Have a good rest. Don't forget to hydrate.
>Rigby
>Does dumb shit throughout the initial seasons
>It always bites him in the ass tenfold
>grows into a much responsible person, gains a girlfriend with whom he builds a family
>Mordecai
>Just keeps doing dumb shit while putting himself on a pedestal
>Grows bitter and egotistical, sabotages the very relationship that was actually going anywhere in the worst manner imaginable

forgot something, here:
>grows into a much responsible person, gains a girlfriend with whom he builds a family
Both got the same treatment, Mordecai was just angsty about his love life and he was an butthole sometimes but he didn't mean it. Rigby on the other hand was lazy, greedy, disgusting, possessive, envious and genuinely a bad person sometimes.
Wait did Don go trans?
>gimme some sugar
Hell nah
nope
Rigby was kind of a dck for taking Margaret from him in it’s time I think
>for taking Margaret
Margaret never really knew that Mordo considered her to be a love interest.
Mordecai clearly abused his strength and loved physically bullying Rigby
And it was funny every single time
If you had a bullyable twink as a best friend wouldnt you always want to beat him too?
I am that friend. And people always beat on me
Sorry anon, but you probably were just too cute when in pain
my second lay was that twinky friend, bless you anon, for being there in those early droughts.
And that is why I hate Regular show but love the ending. Rigby got the last laugh by proving once and for all that not only does he like females, but he ended up with the girl everyone shipped him with while Mordecai ended up with someone who made their debut in the series finale. Usually, I hate it when a Character ends up with a character that shows up later in the franchise, but Mordecai is a jerk and he deserves worse.
ah. Feeling the sting of HIMYM?
I wasn't crazy about that show, but at least that's the point.
Childhood is sympathising for Mordecai and Rigby.
Adulthood is realising that Benson was the real MVP for putting up with their bullshit for so long.
Benson was a loser. He and Mord were basically the same. Imagine being bitter because you don't get to be a drummer anymore. And taking it out on your employees. And then stalking your neighbor but being too b***h to say anything to her. Sound familiar? Adulthood is realizing Skips had the right idea. Keep your head down. Work hard and keep your buisiness and friends to yourself.
Skips was a fricking chad, one of the few good characters in that show. Always willing to help out, knows what he's about, and has friends in high places.
Skips is what you should strive to be in the world. Work hard, work out.
Benson's anger is justifiable in the early seasons but it becomes clear that he's just abusive to his employees because of his own mess. He should have fired Morde and Rigs and been done with it, but no he keeps them around because he can't live without them because they're living the lifestyle HE wanted to live so he needs to make them suffer.
It's funny when little shits get just completely crushed. They deconstructed this dynamic pretty effectively in the first Death Kwon Do episode.

I love this video
It's awesome to see people put work into stuff like this for the show instead of just reposting the 2 shit memes.
impressive editing
Which ones? The Mordo simp staff and Mordetwi? Is there something I'm missing?
Nope, those are exactly the 2 I was thinking of.
Oh. Did you find more cool stuff btw?
when rigby revealed he is the reason mordo didn't get into college it kinda outshines any shitty things mordecai did tbh
Even killing him?
He got better
At not killing him?
I meant Rigby
Oh.
Not getting into art school is what got Hitler into politics
>when rigby revealed he is the reason mordo didn't get into college
Funny how this was the only way for Quintel to level out the playing field - not by making Mordecuck any better, but by making his friend that much worse.
what the frick was even the point of CJ’s existence if they were going to make her dump Mordecai and disappear from the show?
Just more Mordecai romance autism
Maybe Quintel was going through relationship drama himself at the time? Or this was based off of his own love life in the past
Personally I think Quintel was trying to match the Adventure Time-type model of "cartoon direction" at the time. Which is to say, lots of plot points that dare to intrigue but fail to commit to anything and deliver.
That's the dumbest thing I ever heard anyone say about Regular Show.
Because that's what actively dating is like
You know who else is the dumbest thing I ever heard anyone say about Regular Show?
>Because that's what actively dating is like
>It was SUPPOSED to be unsatisfying and needlessly melodramatic
The only pass I'm going to give you with this stupid ass argument is that the ending kinda goes with this type of interpretation of relationships. But I think it's more likely that JG didn't learn proper writing in whatever fancy animation school he went to, so he struggled in his first show with a few romances. But hey, it all turned out in the end.
That anon was right tho. Sometimes you meet someone for dating purposes and one day you decide you aren't compatible and they're out of your life forever. You move on and so do they.
