ToastyPotato posted:Ok. For over ten years, I've wanted to know what the hell the song at the beginning of the lotto episode of Regular Show is. It's used in a lot of different places it seems. Shazaam couldn't ID it because I think there was too much going on over it. Thanks to the many individuals with Aspergers that are enabled by the Internet, a wiki exists for this show. quote:The song at the beginning of this episode is Jurgen Schlachter's "The Big Laugh.", which has been used in shows such as SpongeBob SquarePants. Let me guess, the first time you heard it was on that one Liquid Television short where a cat and a bird are sitting on a branch and the bird keeps mooning the cat? raditts fucked around with this message at 00:14 on Apr 9, 2012 |

I will never not laugh at Rigby turning to dust in the time stream. How many times has Rigby died in this show? At least twice (microwave, arm wrestling), right?

smokyprogg posted:Someone posted in the Adventure Time thread asking for episodes to introduce people to the show. I, myself, like Regular Show more than Adventure Time, and most of my friends already watch AT. What would you guys recommend for starter episodes of Regular Show? Stick Hockey and This Is My Jam immediately come to mind for me. Any others? First Day?

Roland Jones posted:Besides the extra focus on him, it seems that Muscle Man gets treated differently, both by the writers and by the other characters. I mean, the extra focus he gets is obvious, but some other things are weird too. For example, between Benson condoning him doing things like shoving Rigby's face in manure during the mentoring episode (something neither Muscle Man nor Benson got called out on, apart from Mordecai saying it was wrong early on) and how in this one he cared more about getting Muscle Man pranking again than that he almost killed Pops, going so far as to use Pops as a tool in getting him back, it's like he has a Mary Sue-like immunity to the rules. Meanwhile Mordecai and Rigby almost got fired the time they injured Pops, among all the other things they almost got fired over. Benson and everyone else have always treated Muscle Man and High Five Ghost better than Mordecai and Rigby. Also, I don't think you know what a Mary Sue is.

JT Jag posted:Kids love badly animated formulaic cartoons with cashed-in punchlines and generic characters, who knew I'm proud of my kids, they bug me to put Regular Show and Adventure Time on all the time but I've taught them well enough to dive for the remote when Johnny Test or Annoying Orange come on. As for back in my day, I can admit that I can count way more total poo poo cartoons that I watched as a kid than those that were actually good.

Dolash posted:I'm adding the Rigby lost in the Beta-Timeline to the Rigby death count. Then again one Mordecai was lost that way too and another Mordecai was literally destroyed, so Mordecai gains some ground. Well, I think it depends on whether Regular Show follows Back to the Future time travel rules or not.

I guess I no longer have any idea of what defines a "self insert character" or why that's a bad thing. When I think "self insert", Charlie Brown is usually the first thing that comes to mind.JazzFlight posted:Well, the thing is, I've never heard the characters refer to themselves as animals compared to humans, really. Maybe once or twice they actually said that a character was a skunk or that Benson was a gumball machine, but most of the time they make no reference to their own species. For all we know, they're all human and we're just seeing them as weird talking creatures. I did think it was funny in the Deathbear episode that in a world where anthropomorphs live alongside humans, they still have animal control. It was funnier that all Eileen had to do was say "It's Deathbear!" to get an animal control SWAT team sent to their house. raditts fucked around with this message at 04:29 on Oct 6, 2012 |

I don't mind Thomas that much, but it would've been pretty funny if it wasn't all a prank and he was still in the car, and when Mordecai says "We killed Thomas!" Muscle Man just says "Who?" End episode, never mention him again.

Je suis fatigue posted:See I thought he was going to die after they told Muscleman he pranked him and he wrecked his car, but I like more that he's alive because the show has a timeline and continuity rather than everything returns to the status quo every week. If you're really stuck on continuity for this of all shows, then all the characters should be ghosts from now on, since they died two episodes ago.

This episode was a fantastic troll. Kind of odd that Starla has more screen time and personality than Thomas at this point, though. Why did they even bother adding that guy?Waffleman_ posted:I don't remember because I haven't really watched American Cartoon Network around this time for a while, but did they always promote the Hall of Game so aggressively?

The Croc posted:Great episode all round show could have ended right there and it would have been perfect. Rigby was at the beginning of the episode, unless you mean him not being in the entire episode. Speaking of characters disappearing with no explanation though, it looks like at some point they finally just quit putting Thomas in even as a background character. I'm honestly curious about that one because it seems like they didn't like including him in the show at all. raditts fucked around with this message at 21:10 on Apr 20, 2013 |

TwoPair posted:I loved that joke. I honestly wouldn't mind if Thomas showed up in more episodes just to basically rehash that one gag over and over and play straight man to the madness around him. (Seriously, I don't think I've ever seen anybody actually try to leave whenever somebody gives the ol' "If anybody wants to back out now, I understand..." speech in like, any show/movie until this one.) I can think of exactly one movie, but for some reason the name escapes me right now.

TwoPair posted:Sure, dwelling on failure is an option and telling people to bottle up their emotions is an option, I guess? That's kinda depressing as hell though. Personally, I think "be honest about your feelings" is a much better message, and I have enough faith in the viewers of the show to understand that sharing feelings doesn't mean necessarily mean "go for the kiss". Margaret even says as much in "Do or Diaper." I don't think it's so much that she doesn't have any agency (although she is a bit two-dimensional as a character) but she's frustrated with him loving around instead of just being honest and telling her how he feels, since he's always the one that backs out whenever there's an opportunity to make something more out of it. As for the actual "friend zone" thing, clearly it was mostly just a buildup to making a Phantom Zone reference, but Y-Hat posted:The thing about the Friend Zone in this episode is that Margaret didn't put Mordecai in the Friend Zone, Mordecai put himself there. That's what makes this episode's treatment of it different than that of your average internet male shut-in. I agree with this. quote:ANYWAY, all this junk aside, Eileen remains the best character. Her deadpan "Due to the tragic deterioration of our region's ozone layer" was hilarious and the "IT'S BEAUTIFUL" as the meteors started and the climactic music kicked off cracked me up. Yes, Eileen is always the best character. She deserves better prospects than Rigby. raditts fucked around with this message at 23:04 on Jun 13, 2013 |
