Regular Show

Mordecai and Rigby are two slack-off park groundskeepers whose attempts to make work more interesting always spiral into absurd situations. The series follows their lazy schemes, oddball side jobs, and frequent detours into supernatural or surreal complications, with coworkers and friends getting pulled into the chaos. Episodes flip quickly from everyday chores to high-stakes weirdness, keeping the tone loose and unpredictable while letting the relationship between the two leads drive the emotional core. The show keeps plotlines self-contained, so you get a mix of short, joke-heavy episodes and a few longer arcs without revealing major twists here.

Premiered on Cartoon Network in 2010, Regular Show was created by J.G. Quintel and Matt Price, and grew out of Quintel’s student film work. Quintel also voices Mordecai and Hi Five Ghost, joined by William Salyers, Mark Hamill, Sam Marin, and Minty Lewis in the main cast.

The series earned multiple award nominations during its run, including nods from the Television Academy. It was regularly recognized within animation circles and picked up a variety of industry acknowledgments and festival mentions.

Regular Show helped push Cartoon Network toward humor that appealed to older kids and young adults, mixing nostalgic pop culture references with absurd visuals. Its characters and memorable moments turned into a steady stream of fan art, online memes, and convention panels, and the show maintained a devoted, vocal fanbase that kept its presence alive long after new episodes stopped airing.

Critics and viewers responded well, reflected in a high user vote average of 8.629/10 from over 2,000 votes. Reviewers appreciated the offbeat comedic style, the blunt but affectionate portrayal of friendship, and the way the show balances everyday boredom with outlandish set pieces. Underneath the laughs, episodes often touch on responsibility, growing up, and the slow changes that come with adulthood, all while staying fun and unpredictable.
