I'm in my early 20's, recently moved countries to start my independent life and find myself in the same shoes of mordecai, a college drop out, on an minimum wage job struggling to deal with my own feelings and thoughts. I used to watch the show when I was a kid for the goofy and weird stuff, now I fully understand the whole concept of it.

[plank]

never thought a philosophical ass speech about a Margaret could help me move on so much easier, all the praise is deserved.

[leeloo]

My boyfriend had me watch this show with him, he said it was special to him and wanted to see how it ended. We finished it maybe two weeks ago and both of us ended up crying lol, but truly this show was something so special. Once it was over I just felt my gut sink and felt how incredible it was. We're 20 year old's working full time and going to college and yeah this show really incapacitated everything I've felt these past 3 years. The boring days working in retail and going to school sucks but this show related in way that wasn't depressing. Every night we sat down together ate dinner and watched this show, truly it was a perfectly realistic.

Benson's breakdown over the cart is such a good monologue. And it makes you understand his character as somebody who's a hard ass but for a good reason and his own safety

[ssscout]

you weren't lying when you said this vid was full of banger songs

[hegyak]

Benson's Speech to Mordecai where he says, "Maby nothing will change. But, at least you will have closure."

Benson, was more then a Boss. He was a Dad. A Bro. A True Man. Sometimes, guys need that.

[natemorelock]

one of my favorite things about the episode with rigby's prom was how even under all the insults his dad threw at him about being a thief, he never told him that his mom gave him the keys. I feel like younger rigby would have 100% tried to throw anyone under the bus to get out of the full blame, but here he just takes it knowing that he's protecting her too

Regular show is the only show where I can say Freddy Fazbear had a shootout with the feds

[Sideshowbrooke]

I was in 12 when this show premiered, I watched until around season 5/6 and never really picked it up again until a few weeks ago. The ending hit me hard. Not too long ago I was like Mordecai and Rigby. Worked a dead end job and lived to slack off and have fun any chance I could get. I’m now 25, graduated college recently, and am getting married in two weeks. Eventually, everything changed. Mordecai and Rigby eventually grew up, just as I did.

Legitimately just listened to this video while stocking soda juice water at walmart overnight at 19. Accurate, amazing content. Amazing show, thanks Jay.

[Bradfortimus]

Not only is this video a masterpiece, no one is talking about this PERFECT music choice. this stuff hits hard

[KAGIICHII]

I keep coming back this video because it fucking amazing the vibes are immaculate please do adventure time next if you don’t got a upcoming project cause the way you explain everything and the music you use brings hella nostalgia but even if you don’t appreciate you for making these videos🙏🏽🔥

[paulyk]

I can’t help but feel so bad for CJ this entire series.

[GeuseWRLD]

This video hit me so astronomically hard. I'm in a rut, fighting with my gf, wanting to do more with myself and just constantly finding ways to run away from everything. I haven't been thinking lately, I've become Mordecai. This video helped me realize that, and I really appreciate this piece. This show was much more powerful than I ever imagined, thanks for helping me realize that.

[blaze_hammer]

muscleman is pretty patient with mordecai for not flooring him at his wedding

[blawnd]

i’ve been religiously watching this show since elementary school. single-handedly the only show i will get excited to watch every time, without fail. in college rn and i’m still not sick of it. criminally underrated and not talked about enough

As a 23 year old girl (woman, who still very much feels like a kid) I STILL remember when Regular Show was being promoted on CN, in between episodes of Adventure Time, Chowder and Flapjack (some of my favorites) and I remember telling my cousin that it was going to be stupid and I wouldn't watch. Then the day it premiered, I fell in love. It was completely nonsensical and hilarious. It was one of the few times I had to eat my words and I was more than willing especially as the show continued. I love cartoons, always have. I love the comfort they bring and the nostalgia. I love how nothing is ever really set in stone. I loved that about Regular Show, very few episodes had any lasting consequences, and then as the series progressed, characters would make a comeback or we would see Mordecai and Margaret's (and eventually CJ's) relationship blossom and die. And in between was the most outrageous, "who-thought-of-this-shit?" shit you would ever see and it was always SUCH a good time. All this to say, Regular Show will ALWAYS be one of my favorite shows, and definitely in the Top 5 of my favorite cartoons (Gravity Falls is right up there with it) so I'm excited to watch your commentary on it and hope to take a trip down memory lane through The Park (and not cry remembering my childhood)

27:09 man, Sam Marin must’ve suffered a lot from life to put this much emotion and life into the character of Benson

[superspun]

26:35 this is my favourite scene in ANY kids cartoon, bensons meltdown is such a real thing that even children can empathise with him, you can see he is trying to hold back the tears and my god the voice actor got benson tone of voice perfect, no matter how many times I hear the meltdown I can’t help but feel bad for the gumball machine
