Regular Show is an American animated series created by J. G. Quintel. The series contains many characters, with seven main characters and various recurring and one-time characters.
Main characters
Mordecai
Mordecai (voiced by J. G. Quintel) is a blue jay who works as a groundskeeper at The Park. He has been best friends with Rigby since childhood, and together they are very lazy and constantly slack off at their jobs there. Mordecai is more conscientious, mature, and moral about his actions than Rigby is, which sometimes leads to his opposing Rigby when he is the cause of some chaotic problem. However, Mordecai usually sides with his friend and the two generally stick together through their adventures. Like Rigby, Mordecai loves to play video games, but he is the better of the two. He can sometimes become caught up in his emotions, often letting them get the better of him. However, he is usually quick to apologize to others if he has hurt them and occasionally takes the lead in fixing a situation. He had a crush on Margaret Smith, a female robin who worked as a waitress at a local coffee shop. Mordecai would often hang out with her, along with Rigby and Eileen Roberts, and made many attempts to try to start a relationship with her. The two finally begin to date in the fourth season until Margaret decides to leave for college, thus ending their relationship. In the episode "Camping Can Be Cool", it is revealed that he attended art school before being employed at The Park; however, he never finished the course due to his bad portrait skills, which were revealed in the episode "Bad Portrait".
Rigby
Rigby (voiced by William Salyers) is a brown raccoon who works as a groundskeeper at The Park. He has been best friends with Mordecai since childhood and slacks off even more than Mordecai does. Rigby is hyper, immature, and extremely mischievous, which sometimes puts him at odds with Mordecai. He mostly lives for simply having a good time and relaxing, which he sometimes achieves through selfish acts like lying or cheating. He has a bad habit of getting himself and others in trouble, often causing many of the chaotic and surreal problems that arise in The Park. Nevertheless, he is shown to be a good person deep down and sticks closely to his friends. Like Mordecai, Rigby loves to play video games, but he is the worse of the two. He is also shown to be the weakest of The Park workers, although he has surprised them on a few occasions. Rigby's lack of strength was a major plot point in the episode "One Pull Up," in which Rigby had to pass a company physical and keep his job by performing one pull up. He has a younger brother named Don, whose height and physique lead people to believe that he, not Rigby, is the older brother. Eileen Roberts, a female mole who works at a local coffee shop, previously alongside Margaret Smith, has strong feelings for Rigby and makes this very obvious. He originally did not reciprocate her feelings and harshly ignored her at some points, but he quickly begins to warm up to her and implies that he likes her, as well. In the episode "Diary", he admitted that he found her attractive when she was not wearing her glasses. Rigby is allergic to eggs, as evidenced in the episode "Eggscelent" when Rigby tried to eat a 12-egg omelet to win a trucker hat and went into a coma due to a severe allergic reaction.
Benson
Benson (voiced by Sam Marin) is a living gumball machine who works as the manager of The Park. He is frequently infuriated with Mordecai and Rigby due to their constant slacking and mischief. He is very hot-tempered and prone to fits of rage, often turning red whenever he yells or is extremely angry. He is a responsible and hardworking employee who very much treasures his employment at The Park. He sincerely tries to teach Mordecai and Rigby how to be responsible and take their jobs seriously, but usually to no avail. Benson constantly threatens to fire them (sometimes along with their coworkers) for their antics and poor job performance, although this almost never happens due to certain effects that counter these attempts and allows the two (or others he attempts to fire) to keep their jobs, but they may instead get punished for their actions. Despite always being at odds with them, Benson is ultimately friends with them and the three gain more insight and trust with each other as the series progresses. In the episode "Think Positive", it is revealed that Benson's family members often yelled at each other when he was a child. His father instructed him that he would not get anything in his life if he did not yell for it. It has been implied that Benson was unhappy during his youth and did not enjoy his family's anger. He is skilled at stick hockey and has a strong love for music, proving to be an extremely skilled drummer in the episode "150 Piece Kit". Benson is also dating Audrey, a human woman who lives across from him in his apartment complex.
Pops Maellard
Pops (voiced by Sam Marin) is a cheerful, quirky, and naïve lollipop-shaped man who resides at the house in The Park. His father, Mr. Maellard, is the owner of The Park. Pops tends to be very ecstatic about everything, often exclaiming "Good show!" or "Jolly good show!" when he is happy about something. When something bad happens, he will instead say "Bad show." He carries small lollipops in his wallet, sincerely believing that they are real money, much to everyone's confusion. He is an upright gentleman who is very kind and well-mannered to everyone. He is also very sensitive, often becoming upset or crying if his feelings are hurt. He has strong interests in poetry, wrestling, music, nature, animals, and games. Despite being an elderly man, he is very childlike and is often oblivious to serious things around him. Because of this, the group is frequently looking after him, especially Benson. In the episode "Prank Callers", it is shown that Pops was once a more serious and mature man back in the 1980s. However, when Mordecai and Rigby had been sent back to that time and accidentally hit him with a golf cart, he is shown to have turned into his zany self.
Skips
Skips (voiced by Mark Hamill) is a yeti who works as a groundskeeper at The Park. He is the strongest and smartest of The Park workers and they almost always turn to him for help, as he usually knows how to solve the chaotic problems that arise in The Park. Whenever he is asked for help, he generally says, "I've seen this before", and then presents a solution. As his name suggests, he is always skipping rather than walking. He is a diligent worker and is very skilled at his job; however, he suffers from a lack of knowledge of computers and other kinds of newer technology, which was seen in the episode "Skips vs. Technology". Aside from this, he is very experienced and knowledgeable, as he is immortal and has been alive for hundreds of years. In the episode "Free Cake", it is revealed that he must perform a ceremonial dance every year on his birthday in order to renew his immortality. He explains the story of how he received his immortality in the episode "Skips' Story." He chose to become immortal in order to fight Klorgbane, an immortal bully who inadvertently caused the death of his girlfriend Mona, the only woman that Skips had ever loved. The Guardians of Eternal Youth provided Skips with his immortality, knowing that he was the only one capable of defeating Klorgbane with the Fists of Justice. Skips' birth name was Walks, but he changed it to Skips when he received his immortality because he and Mona would always skip when they were together. This is also the reason why he always skips instead of walking; he chose to do this in order to remember the times he and Mona shared for all his life.
Mitch "Muscle Man" Sorenstein
Muscle Man (voiced by Sam Marin) is a short, overweight, and green-skinned man who works a groundskeeper at The Park. He is very erratic and immature, often pulling pranks and joking around. He enjoys telling "My mom!" jokes, botched attempts at "Your mom!" jokes, much to the annoyance of everyone except Hi Five Ghost, his best friend, and a few others outside The Park. Although he can be rude due to his ego, he is ultimately shown to be polite and caring toward his friends. At times, he can burst out on a rampage if he is greatly angered. His father, Muscle Dad, enjoyed the same attitude for pranks and jokes, but died in the episode "Trucker Hall of Fame". His older brother, Muscle Bro, is also seen throughout the series. Muscle Man originally shared a rivalry with Mordecai and Rigby throughout the first two seasons, but the three started to get along and treat each other as friends from the third season onward. His girlfriend, Starla, shares a similar appearance to him and the couple constantly disgust other people when they publicly kiss and show affection to each other. His real name was revealed to be Mitch Sorenstein in the episode "Muscle Woman". In the episode "Power Tower", it is revealed that he gained the nickname "Muscle Man" from his early years of bodybuilding and actually being in excellent physical condition.
Hi Five Ghost
Hi Five Ghost (voiced by Jeff Bennett in season one, then by J. G. Quintel from season two onward) is a small ghost with a hand extending from the top of his head who works as a groundskeeper at The Park. Hi Five Ghost is best friends with Muscle Man and frequently gives him high fives to accompany his jokes, as he genuinely finds most of Muscle Man's jokes amusing. Because of his name and appearance, he is frequently called by his nickname, "Fives". Hi Five Ghost rarely speaks throughout the first three seasons of the series, but he is given more dialogue from season four onward. His father was introduced in the episode "See You There", as well as his older brother, Low Five Ghost. In the episode "The Postcard", Hi Five Ghost reunited with a human girl named Celia whom he had befriended after waiting four years to receive a postcard from her.
Thomas
Thomas (voiced by Roger Craig Smith) is a young goat who is an intern working at The Park who should not be confused with the 300-year-old son of Death of the same name. He is introduced in the episode "Exit 9B" where he obtained the job at The Park in order to receive extra credit points for college. Because of his lack of experience at The Park and residing as the newcomer, Thomas is often reproved by his coworkers, most notably by Muscle Man. Thomas is usually reluctant to be involved in the surreal and chaotic adventures that arise in The Park, often asking if he has to be part of the situation, to which they insist that he must. He is shown to be very close with his mother, often mentioning her and talking to her on the phone. Despite appearing hapless at times, Thomas remains very friendly with his coworkers and is appreciated by the group.
Margaret Smith
Margaret (voiced by Janie Haddad-Tompkins) is a red female bird who worked as a waitress at a local coffee shop. She was good friends with her former coworker, Eileen Roberts. Mordecai had a huge crush on Margaret and frequently found excuses to go to the coffee shop to see her. She has a cousin named John who has an artificial wooden leg. The rest of her family are all birds like her and Mordecai, except for her father Frank, a strong and stern human. Margaret returns Mordecai's feelings for her and the two begin to date in the fourth season; however, she reluctantly ends their relationship after receiving an acceptance letter from her dream college. Mordecai suffers greatly from their break up, but eventually moves on. After which, although she is mentioned at times, she is never seen in the series again.
Eileen Roberts
Eileen (voiced by Minty Lewis, a storyboard artist for the series) is a shy and timid mole who works at a local coffee shop, previously alongside Margaret Smith. She has a crush on Rigby, but he initially found her annoying. She first appeared in the episode "Brain Eraser". She also appears in the episode "Do Me a Solid", in which Rigby learns of Eileen's crush on him (even though Rigby shows no interest in Eileen), though he goes along with it for a while. Since the episode "Camping Can Be Cool", Rigby has warmed up to Eileen. Rigby thought very highly of her and praised her actions throughout the episode. In the episode "Diary", Rigby admits that he finds Eileen to be attractive when she is not wearing her glasses, but it also reveals that she also can't see without them. In the episode "One Pull Up", Eileen helps Rigby train for his company physical and he shows his gratitude by hugging her (and crushing her due to his enlarged physique).
Recurring Characters
Starla Gutsmandottir
Starla (voiced by Courtenay Taylor) is an obese, green woman similar in appearance to Muscle Man. She works at Icy & Hot Jewelry & Apparel. She developed a crush on Mordecai and dated two other boys as indicated by a tattoo on her lower back. When Mordecai broke up with her, she became extremely angry, destroying everything in her path, including a helicopter. She got back together with Muscle Man after he expressed his feelings towards her at the end of the episode.
Mr. Maellard
Mr. Maellard (voiced by David Ogden Stiers) is a lollipop man who owns The Park. He is also Pops' father. He first appeared in the episode "Dizzy". Maellard is very impatient towards Benson (similar to Benson's impatience towards Mordecai and Rigby) and Maellard blames Mordecai and Rigby's shenanigans on Benson (as he expects Benson to take responsibility for Mordecai and Rigby as park manager). He purposely mistakes Benson's name a lot in some of the episodes in which he appears (using "Ballbucket", "Beanbag" etc.). Maellard finally got Benson's name right (and started to respect him more as well) in the episode "Benson Be Gone" due to Benson's coming to his rescue when he was captured by Susan (a woman whom Mr. Maellard had hired as the park manager after demoting Benson and is later revealed to be a demon) and also gave Benson his old job back.
Death
Death (voiced by Julian Holloway in a cockney accent) is a grim-reaper who tried to take the immortal life of Skips during his first appearance in the episode "Over The Top". He also tried to take Muscle Man's soul twice in the episodes "Dead at Eight" and "Last Meal". However, he also helped the groundskeepers defeat Garret Bobby Ferguson's villains in the episode "Exit 9B". Death has a son named Thomas (not to be confused with the park intern of the same name), a 300-year-old demon.
Cloudy Jay "CJ"
CJ (voiced by Linda Cardellini) is a cloud girl who first appeared in the episode "Yes Dude Yes", in which Mordecai started dating her after thinking Margaret was getting married. After learning that Margaret was not getting married, he almost immediately forgets about CJ, leading to an ugly break up at the coffee shop. After Margaret leaves town for college, CJ and Mordecai meet each other at the New Year's Eve dance in the episode "New Years Kiss", unwittingly kissing each other at midnight. The following episode, "Dodge This", continues this story days after the kiss with CJ and Mordecai competing against each other in a dodgeball tournament. This leads to awkwardness between the two in the final round of the dodgeball tournament and they are forced to address their issues before the Intergalactic Dodgeball Council. They later agreed just to be friends. At the end of the episode "I like you hi", Mordecai asks CJ out and she replies yes.
Guardians of Eternal Youth
The Guardians of Eternal Youth are a group of five infant-like beings for whom Skips must perform a ceremonial dance in order to maintain his immortality. Skips also attended school with them before they granted him his immortality. They also designed and built Skips' Fists of Justice, which allowed him to defeat Klorgbane the Destroyer in the episodes "Chocolate Cake" and "Skips' Story".
Gareth "Gary"
Gary (voiced by Robin Atkins Downes) is a friend of Skips who went to school with Skips and the Guardians of Eternal Youth.
Baby Ducks
The Baby Ducks are a group of four ducks whom Mordecai and Rigby found in a fountain in The Park in the episode "A Bunch of Baby Ducks". They have shown their ability to fuse together to form a giant, anthropomorphic, ducklike creature when they fist-pump simultaneously. They return in the episode "A Bunch of Full-Grown Geese" to help Mordecai and Rigby rid The Park of the evil, titular geese.
Recurring Villains
Garrett Bobby Ferguson
Garrett Bobby Ferguson (voiced by Sam Marin) is a giant floating head from outer space who bears a striking resemblance to the video gamer Billy Mitchell. He first appeared in the episode "High Score" and at one point was the universal record holder for an arcade game called "Broken Bonez" before he exploded in a fit of rage when Mordecai and Rigby beat his high score. In the episode "Exit 9B", it was revealed that he had a son named Garrett Bobby Ferguson Jr., who attempted to bring back his father along with other deceased villains to have their revenge, yet The Park workers and their allies managed to send Garrett Bobby Ferguson and the other villains back into the afterlife, taking his son with him.
Gene
Gene (voiced by Kurtwood Smith) is Benson's rival who appears to be a green vending machine. He is in charge of a nearby park named East Pines. Gene started two separate prank wars to destroy Benson's park for reasons never explained, but was thwarted both times by Muscle Man. He makes a reappearance in the half-hour special "The Christmas Special", but as a protagonist, helping Benson out willingly due to his own love of the holiday of Christmas.
Capicola Gang
The Capicola Gang (with John Cygan voicing the leader, Mark Hamill voicing Louie, and Dawnn Lewis voicing the duck) is a group of anthropomorphic animatronic robots from The Fun Fun Zone, a restaurant that became corrupted after The Park workers won a pair of fuzzy dice (which, unbeknownst to them, had diamonds in them) for Pops' birthday in the episode "Fuzzy Dice". They attempted to escape with the dice when The Park workers won them, which leads to a car chase to the harbor. After Louis exposes their crime, they attempted to kill them to take back the dice only for them to be destroyed by the FBI. They reappear in the episode "Steak Me Amadeus", in which it is revealed that they survived the battle and plotted revenge on The Park workers for foiling their evil crime and sold fake Amadeus Dollars to Pops, which Mordecai used to pay for a date with Margaret Smith at the titular restaurant. They appear at the same restaurant and are taken into custody for selling the fake Amadeus Dollars, destroying them once and for all. The animals that comprise the gang are as followed: the leader who is a bear, Louie the beaver, and the duck.
