Regular Show is a fitting title for a program that takes ordinary chores, such as preparing hot dogs, setting up chairs or cleaning a rain gutter and exaggerating the consequences of not performing said chores correctly. The main characters are a couple of slackers in their twenties who live only for the moment, even if that means getting fired. They constantly get into trouble due to their irresponsibility, but always manage to end up on top through some hilarious twist.
That said...
Regular Show is rated PG, not G, not Y7. Every time I read a negative review for this show, someone is whining about how Cartoon Network should feel ashamed for making such a vulgar children's program. Newsflash, just because it's a cartoon doesn't mean it's for kids. Family Guy has already proved that. There is a warning ahead of time that underage viewers require parental guidance, PG. Personally, I'd say it's about as raunchy as Ren and Stimpy or Rocko's Modern Life and Rocko was very, very raunchy, hence the deletion of certain scenes during re-runs. And who can forget Chokey Chicken, hm? If you're a grown up, give it a chance. If you're a grown up with kids who wanna watch it, consider their age and go from there. And if you do end up loving this show, you'll be telling "my mom" jokes in no time.
Can I get an "OOOOHH!" from everybody else who is addicted to this show? And remember to raise your right arm while you do it.

What do Monster Squad, Loverboy, Sylvester Stallone, Back to the Future, Bruce Campbell, 80s Hair Metal, and The Crying Game all have in common? They all have been a punchline, set-up, or reference in Regular Show.
To get to brass tacks, this show is hilarious. A blend of slacker- humour and surreal plot lines, Regular Show is recommended viewing for all mature cartoon audiences. It tackles moral dilemmas without being preachy, it uses "random" humour in a way which drives the plot to non- random outcomes, and its light enough on its mature themes that it can nail a safe PG rating (maybe PG 13 if you're one of those conservative types).
However; where Regular Show really shines is in its total awareness of what makes adults who grew up in the 80s and 90s tear up and laugh out loud all at once: Nostalgia. One major example of this is an entire episode which is a parody of (and indeed, named) Over the Top. Another example is the constant montages set to old tunes from decades past, such as Hang Tough and Workin' for the Weekend. Even better are the tiny references which most people under 25 wouldn't get, and hold screen time for mere moments before you're left wondering "Hey, didn't I see that scene in Logan's Run?".
As I said, this cartoon is not for kids, but not because its racy and sometimes inappropriate. It isn't for kids because the funniest jokes are made for guys like me: 25 - 40 year old geeks who can pick out the references, and appreciate the parodies. For this reason alone I love this show, but even then it can still stand up on its own as an entertaining cartoon.
EDIT: Since the time of this writing, I have witnessed a They Live reference, the Death Star with sunglasses, and a scene where the characters go on an "acid trip" (they eat a concoction of spicy foods and then start tripping out) set to the tune of Mississippi Queen. This show just got even better.

I could not disagree more with the prior review. I find this show to be intelligent, pointed and (most importantly) hilarious. It pushes the bounds of traditional comedy, taking mundane situations and turning them into surreal adventures that actually challenge the notions of traditional story telling. The animation is crisp and playful with a certain joy that is hard to describe. And the odd universe it creates is one I am dying to live in. While the two main characters and their closest associates are all creatures/animals of various sorts, the rest of the world is recognizably human. This adds a mood of "outsider" to the adventures that makes them all the more clearly satire and farce.
It is, I will agree, pretty raw stuff. There are jokes about sex and drinking and on and on. Some of the imagery is damn scary. So, okay, it isn't for kids. So what? Why should it be?

This show NEEDS to come back, ended too soon! The creator has another series in the works, but that's been for awhile now. What we really want is Regular Show back on the air, maybe change the location or something, but bring it back!

Such a great cartoon. It's genuinely funny and original. Meant as much for adults as it is kids. I don't know why it ever got canceled and I'm genuinely bummed it never came out as a blu ray box set.

This is a really hilarious show...duh. I feel like I shouldn't even have to point that out. When I watch the show, I feel like "it's funny...because it's true", you know what I mean? I just hope it doesn't go downhill the way some animated shows do. For instance, Spongebob Squarepants is a (children's) show that has a lot of crazy stuff happening in it, and then the makers of the show began to take the craziness too far (they pretty much milked it to death), and suddenly it just seemed not funny anymore. Everything moved too fast, and for little reason. The humor changed. I worry that a similar fate awaits Regular Show, because it happens to so many others. But if they keep making the show the way they do now, then they'll be fine. And maybe I'll even have my family play Regular Show in the mourning room at my funeral. Anyway, they're aren't a lot of shows reasonably directed at teenagers- you know, teenagers? The people between the stages of childhood and adulthood?- so this show is epic in that sense. It's also epic in all it's other senses.

Regular show is a show about a blue jay and a raccoon. The show is weird, funny, and sometimes one of the greatest shows I've ever seen. The only this holding this show back from a 10/10 is that some of the laters seasons episodes can get quite unfunny and the plot can get a little bad. The Halloween episodes and the Christmas ones are some of the best!

Animation: 5/10
The animation in Regular Show is distinctively retro-inspired, paying homage to classic cartoons while adding its own unique flair. Characters are creatively designed, with exaggerated features and expressive movements that enhance the humor and storytelling. The use of vibrant colors and dynamic backgrounds creates a visually engaging experience that captures the whimsical and surreal nature of the show's universe. Too bad the animation is not fluid and it is computer animated and it's a bit rushed and tries to be "cool". It may be also a bit Calartsy at times.
Timing: 9/10 One of the standout qualities of Regular Show is its impeccable timing. From comedic beats to action sequences, the pacing is expertly crafted to keep viewers engaged and entertained throughout each episode. Whether it's a quick exchange of witty banter or a suspenseful moment leading to a punchline, the timing is consistently spot-on, maximizing the impact of every joke and plot twist. Sometimes the timing may go out of hand.
Writing: 6/10 The writing in Regular Show is clever and witty, blending humor with heartwarming moments and occasional doses of surrealism. The dialogue is sharp and filled with pop culture references that appeal to both children and adults, adding layers of depth to the storytelling. The show also excels in character development, with each member of the cast having their own quirks and personality traits that contribute to the overall charm and humor of the series. I don't like the fact it may have some bits of strict action, the excessive use of the word "man", "dude", "bro", etc and its sad moments sometimes. It can be filled with pop culture references.
Entertainment: 7/10 Overall, Regular Show is a highly entertaining series that offers a decent blend of humor, adventure, and nostalgia. Whether you're a fan of its offbeat humor, imaginative storytelling, or lovable characters, there's something for everyone to enjoy. With its catchy catchphrases, memorable episodes, and endless supply of pop culture references, Regular Show remains a classic that continues to captivate audiences of all ages.

At first my impression on the show was just an ordinary cartoon show like anything else. But it comes to a point where the things we see today on the internet are introduced into the show. The constant nonsense we have that plague our society with stupidity. For example first pumping and montages and all that jazz. Its really not all that bad though, but I would not tell anyone that they should watch or let their children to. When you hear people say that television can make you allot dumber for watching it this takes the cake. But this isn't the only show that does this. There are plenty of shows that are just so annoying on how stupid characters can get, and this isn't the worst of them. Things like Spongebob where Patrick is considered to be so stupid, its a wonder how he can learn how to breathe. But thats Spongebob. This is not any different from most cartoon for kids nowadays, but there is a slim library of cartoons that actually are done really well.

One of Cartoon Network's more creative endeavors, Regular Show is anything but. Using 80s soundtracking and trippy segments, RS captures some great moments. Definitely not for little ones. Teens will love it and adults will love it more.

Regular show is great! I found many parts funny and a great plot for each episode. Regular show is about two guys named Mordecai and Rigby, one a blue jay, one a raccoon. Mordecai is the "responsible one" who always gets in trouble by his boss Benson, because of Rigby being lazy and not working. I love how the title is "Regular Show" But everything is irregular, because each episode has this crazy impossible event which includes monsters, magic, powers, and funny jokes. . Hey, it's anything but! This show and Adventure time just SAVED cartoon network from it's other bad shows (except the old cartoon network shows). But only if they made more shows on cartoon network like this. I mean seriously, what's with teen titans go? I like the old one better. And what is with the show incredible crew? J.G Quintel (creator of regular show) and Pendleton Ward(creator for Adventure Time) should make more and betters shows like this.

Plane and Simple, this cartoon is hilarious. If you've always wanted a cartoon that's kind of like the Hangover and Due Date, then this is perfect for you. First off, I've been buying every episode as soon as it's released on the PS3. Second, this cartoon came from a College project. Yes that's right, this cartoon was created from two project's that J.G. Quintel made for College (Two in the AMPM/Naive man in Lolliland). Third, this is not for kids, this is the cartoon to please those who loved the nineties cartoon network shows. The trailer was hilarious, not because they said "Crotch", but for the hilariousness off it. When I saw the episode, they get a keyboard that does everything and go to the moon. This is all in fifteen minutes and everything is crazy. So, let's recap. The cartoon was created from a college project, the cartoon is about guys in their twenties, and everything makes no sense. Also, a cartoon that gets about 2 million viewers per premiere episode, so obviously people like it and it's doing something right.

I saw the preview of this a few months before it was on. I was excited when I finally fiosed it and got to watch. It is so funny and simple to understand. Once you watch an episode or two you can almost tell what the main characters are going to do in when things happen. They are easy to like and laugh with. I was born in 85 and I have not been as excited about a cartoon in a long time. Go cartoon network go. I also like the new scooby doo cartoon as well as tower prep. Cartoon network is making great shows that people of any age can enjoy. It is good to know that shows are being made that families can watch together. So, go watch!!!!

Many people, mainly kids from the 90s, say that modern cartoons suck. i am also one of those people. I feel that a lot of modern cartoons lack the charm and quality of animation of the cartoons of the past. They also lack strong writing and imagination. Most cartoons now a days talk down to the audience or bombard us with cheap poorly written jokes. However, every once in a while a fantastic show comes around and brings back hope for the future. Unfortunately these shows a few in between.
Cartoon Network used to be the best source for cartoons such as Dexter, Powerpuff Girls, Johnny Bravo, and Ed, Edd, n Eddy just to name a few. All very distinct shows with smart humor, likable cast, and a visually pleasing style. However, they were replaced midway through the 00s with shows that couldn't compete. The new shows weren't smart, they relied heavily on gross out humor or they were very kiddish. But luckily for us, the creator of the "Powerpuff Girls," Craig McKracken, was creating a new show for the CN to get more cartoons on the channel. "Cartoonstitute" was a show in the similar vain of "What A Cartoon," where a lot of famous cartoons were conceived. Unfortunately plans were scrapped and only one show came out all of this, "Regular Show."
"Regular Show," created by J.G. Quintel, is about two friends, a blue jay and raccoon, who work at a park. They are very lazy and in efforts to skip out on work they get themselves into some surreal misadventures.
The cast includes: Mordecai: He's a lazy blue jay, but the more mature of the two leads. Him and Rigby have a friendly rivalry going that usually causes him to do some the stupid things he does.
Rigby: He's the lazy childish raccoon. He's really stubborn and always like things going in his way, which 99% of the time don't. So in effort to do so he gets them in trouble.
Benson: Their hot headed boss and manager of the park, who is in the shape of a gum-ball machine with arms. He usually loses his temper when the other two don't listen and get their job done.
Skips: A yeti, who is apparently immortal. He's really wise and usually get the gang out of danger.
Pops: Naive lollipop shaped man. He is an elderly man, but acts very child like. He usually falls for anything.
Muscle Man: Another worker at the park, he's green, dwarfish, and incredibly overweight. He usually bullies Rigby and Mordecai because he thinks he is better than everyone. His catch phrase is "My Mom!" (poor attempts at "Your Mom" jokes) High-Five Ghost: A ghost with a hand extend from his head. He usually follows Muscle Man as his yes man.
The cast is likable and fun. They all have a sarcastic sense of humor except Pops, Muscle Man, and High-Five Ghost. Even though they don't show it, they care for their fellow co-workers. When danger strikes they will go to the extreme to rescue one another. There are other great side characters that are just as great if not sometimes steal the show from the leads.
The animation is fairly simple, but that adds to its charm. The backgrounds are usually very well detailed. The show also pays homage to the 80s through some of its visuals like the video games the characters play or a coffee shop, very reminiscent of the 80s. While the animation is fairly simple, the artists play around with different visual styles, which add to the visual bliss of the show.
So each episode starts of normal enough, but ends in some kind of supernatural confrontation. For instance, one episode stars off with Mordecai and Rigby having to set up some chair. When they go into the storage room to grab the chairs, they come across and old arcade system. While playing the game they release a demon, who is out to destroy the world and the only way to defeat him is to beat the game. Essentially every episode starts of with a mundane task and goes into the supernatural. I really like how they don't spend time asking why. The events happen and they just try to figure it out. We get a lot of extraordinary adventures and the show is very creative. I really like how they pay homage to the 80s whether it be through the outfits characters to the games they play. The world they live in is very modern, but it has a very retro vibe.
To end it I wanna make this bold statement and call "Regular Show" the best animated series on television right now. It's very visually pleasing, the jokes are smart and funny, the characters are great, and the adventures they go on are fantastic. My personal favorite episode right now is "This Is My Jam." The episode is about Rigby getting an annoyingly catchy song stuck in his head. In an effort to remove the song, it manifests into a giant cassette and annoys everyone and the only way to defeat it is to write an even cheesier song. This is one of the more toned down episode in terms of the supernatural, but I love how they made something so simple into a threat. And I bet many of us have this problem as well. Hopefully the show continues on and entertains us with more laughs. If haven't seen the show yet, I highly recommend it.

All surreal and adult in the first seasons, then it gets all love triangle stories with clichéd stuff and it feels childly.
I was first introduced to this show around 2010 or 2011. I loved this show 24/7. This is maybe one of the most legendary shows of 2010's, it ended the CNreal phase and it was awesome. With imaginary ideas and great characters, great jokes which are still funny today and amazing story. I'll have to admit there was a point where it was bad (the relationships) but after that I think this is one of the the best shows of all time.
If you haven't heard though, this show will be canceled after the "in space" season. Which is a shame. I grew up with this show and I'll miss it when its gone. Bye, Regular Show.

When I was younger I'd watch this on TV a lot, then again, there were dozens of other shows I watched a lot, I just watched a lot of TV is my point. I watched a lot of TV and this show yet I never watched all of the episodes, this is due to the fact that at the time the series hadn't finished. Now that it has been finished for quite a while, I did watch every episode, and I come out of it feeling the same attachment to the characters as when I was younger. There are a few episodes, especially in the later seasons where it felt like they had lost the essence of the show, but then quickly made up for it and gave us a fairly satisfying ending which makes you feel all kinds of things (intentionally vague so as to not spoil). The point is that this show is pretty good for a regular one ;-)

I saw a video on YouTube labeled Mario is the greatest piece of Subrealist art. It claimed that it is based on seemingly random factors that manage to sort of work. I believe Regular Show captures this very essence. You may say "then why did you not pick Adventure Time or Phineas and Ferb" well I also took in mind the ability in this show to have something based on some slackers and a regular story on Regular Show and transform it into these crazy surrealist adventures that are seemingly random and together for a solid plot. That is the key to becoming the greatest piece of Subrealist art. I also love Adventure Time for the nostalgia.
