All right, so you got these two 23-year-olds who are best friends. Regular enough. They work as groundskeepers of a public city park. Pretty normal so far. They are a giant blue jay and a raccoon named Mordecai and Rigby respectively, who work for a gumball machine named Benson and live near a giant lollipop named Pops. As you can tell, [[Nothing Exciting Ever Happens Here]]. [[Blatant Lies|Everything is regular.]] '''''Regular Show''''' is the brainchild of J.G. Quintel, who was the creative director of ''[[The Marvelous Misadventures of Flapjack]]'', which should [[This Is Your Premise on Drugs|explain some things]].
For example, one episode has the main characters eating cereal, playing [[Rock-Paper-Scissors]] over a chair, summoning an inter-dimensional monster after getting one hundred ties in a row, and then [[Status Quo Is God|having everything turn back to normal]]. And this was on Mordecai and Rigby's first day at work, no less.
Line 10 ⟶ 11:
Just a note, most of the main characters' designs come from J.G. Quintel's previous animated student films. Mordecai and Benson were featured in a [[Mushroom Samba]] in ''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y894QNtX0VA 2 in the AM PM]'' and Pops as a lollipop ambassador in ''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ra6yWZQYm5I&feature=fvw The Naive Man From Lolliland]''. They're both well worth checking out, but definitely not for kids.
In an attempt to "age up" Cartoon Network, this show aired in September of 2010 and is currently{{when}} being renewed for a fourth season, which should continue through 2013. New episodes used to air on Monday nights at 8:15 (7:15 central), but as of 2012 they air at 8:00 (7:00 central) on [[Cartoon Network]].

Line 185 ⟶ 186:
*** Not to mention {{spoiler|[[Mood Whiplash|egging the house Rigby]] rather harmlessly, giving Rigby enough time to [[Lampshade Hanging|lampshade the topic]]... JUST before the wizard drops a house-sized EGG and drenching him in egg yolk as he screams in horror}}. "The End".
* [[The Ditz]]: Pops.
* [[Do Not Call Me "Paul"]]: "GBF" is "Garrett Bobby Ferguson". not "Giant Bearded Face".
* [[Doomy Dooms of Doom]]: "Death Punchies" is all over the "of death" variant.
* [[Doppelganger Spin]]: Used by Chong in "Stick Hockey" as one of several methods to gain the upper hand in the final round of stick hockey.
* [[Dramatic Irony]]: In "Cool Bikes", {{spoiler|Benson admits that Mordecai and Rigby are the coolest guys he knows. In any other context this would be sweet, but the viewer knows that Benson just unknowingly secured them a guilty verdict}}.
* [[Dreamworks Face]]: Mordecai [https://web.archive.org/web/20120623001101/http://www.formspring.me/calwwong/q/266487508932506651 strikes one] in "Cruisin'".
* [[Drunk on Milk]]: Every time there's a bunch of soda cans around, they mean beer.
* [[Dying Moment of Awesome]]: {{spoiler|Utopia performing a [[Heroic Sacrifice]] in "Benson Be Gone" to take out Susan and Wedgie Ninja's sacrifice in "Go Viral" to save Mordecai, Rigby, and Pops from the Warden of the Internet, destroying her in the process}}.
Line 242 ⟶ 243:
* [[Gainaxing]]: Muscleman ''and'' Starla in "Muscle Woman". [[Squick|It was a pretty disturbing episode.]]
* [[Gargle Blaster]]: Non-alcoholic varieties in this series.
** Rigby's homemade Rig-Juice, which can ''lower intelligence''.
** "The Mississippi Queen". [[Blazing Inferno Hellfire Sauce|A concoction so absurdly spicy]] that Mordecai, Rigby, and Benson spent the rest of the party they were attending experiencing a [[Disney Acid Sequence]] played to the tune of "Mississippi Queen" by 70's rockband ''Mountain''. It even came with a little umbrella.
* [[Gainax Ending]]: “Trash Boat” has an ending that’s out there even for this show. Basically, Rigby changes his name to Trash Boat and is constantly mocked for it. [[It Makes Sense in Context|Then a time traveling rock star from the future tries to kill Rigby so he won’t steal his fame]]. Rigby and Mordecai make it to the courthouse and change his name back into Rigby. Pretty normal for this show, but then another time traveling rock star kills the rock star for stealing his fame. [[Serial Escalation|And then another rock star shows up, and then another, and then another,]] until it descends into a free for all between an army of time traveling rock stars which ends when a maraca grenade blows everyone except Mordecai and Rigby up. Yeah...
* [[Gasshole]]: Gloken Bear from "Go Viral".
** And the unicorns from "The Unicorns Have Got to Go", who trap Rigby in a circle of their hindquarters and repeatedly fart directly in his face.
Line 437 ⟶ 439:
* [[The Power of Rock]]: The battle between Mordecai's band and the Summertime Song is manifested as two ethereal rockers using their guitars as swords.
** Pops' ''Realms of Darthon'' character, a cybernetic cowboy, utilizes a keytar as a weapon which shoots [[Frickin' Laser Beams]] when played.
* [[Prank Call]]: The episode "Prank Callers" revolved around them, featuring "The Master Prank Caller".
* [[Pre-Ass-Kicking One-Liner]]: Rigby is good with these.
