Ever since then I've been hooked on it, never missing a new show on Monday nights (hey, I'm just a fan, not an "expert" on it.so bloggers don't email me with snotty corrections and comments). My younger kids first discovered Regular Show a year or two ago, and when, in the background, I started to hear my older boys laughing along, too, I took notice: it's a rare TV show that can get them all going. And that's enough for Regular Show (.beside, if you're reading this review, you don't need me to tell you why it's funny: you already know). You can explain humor all day long, but experiencing it is something different entirely: funny just is, as the saying goes. I can try and dance around elements of why it works.but I'm afraid those thoughts add up to something distinctly less than the sum of the show's parts. The same seems to go for concretely nailing down why it's such a funny show, in a written review. Quintel, the animator originally pitched the show visually, through storyboards, to Cartoon Network executives, rather than verbally describing a concept that seemed at first glance indescribable. But that matters little since impulsive, violent Rigby often predicates a cosmic disaster in each episode, frequently involving bizarre, strange beings from other worlds unwittingly unleashed by the boys, ready to destroy the unlikely duo, the park, and Earth.Īccording to what I've read about Regular Show and its creator, J.G. Mordecai is more responsible than Rigby (only just), and he has a crush on Margaret (voice talent of Janie Haddad)), a five-foot tall red-breasted robin who works at the nearby coffee shop with her friend, Eileen (voice talent of Minty Lewis), a mole. Quintel), a body-less ghost with a hand sticking out of his head, and Pops (voice talent of Sam Marin), a quavery-voiced older man with a head the size of a giant lolly, and the son of the park's owner, who naively lives in his own quaint, antiquated world. Also working at the park are Skips (voice talent of Mark Hamill), an immortal yeti who can fix anything, Muscle Man (voice talent of Sam Marin), a little green gnome with a pudgy physique in direct inverse proportion to his macho, insulting self-image, High Five Ghost (voice talent of J.G. Constantly harangued to finish their assignments by their rage-filled boss, park manager and living gumball machine Benson (voice talent of Sam Marin), Mordecai and Rigby look for any excuse to ditch their meaningless, menial labor chores in the search for distraction, which usually comes at the end of a pair of video game controllers. His best friend, 23-year-old raccoon, Rigby (voice talent of William Salyers), a high school drop-out, works alongside him.although "work" is a relative term for the two slackers. Quintel), a former art school student, now works as a groundskeeper at a city park. 23-year-old, six-foot tall blue jay Mordecai (voice talent of J.G. A show kids instinctively adore, and one their parents can actually sit and watch (and laugh along) with them, Regular Show, no matter how it's represented on DVD, is, as Pops might say, as sweet as a frozen ice lolly. Quintel, Regular Show is a beautifully surreal, deadpan hilarious mixture of workplace sitcom and wild slacker/gamer flights of sci-fi fancy, frequently blown up to hysterical, epic proportions. piss off more goofs who can't just enjoy a simple DVD full of toons with the release of Regular Show: The Best DVD in the World* (*at this moment in time), a single-disc, 16-episode collection of Cartoon Network's hit Monday night show (and my current favorite toon on television). In your faaaace! Cartoon Network and Warner Bros.
