Dude, this show is the perfect companion to Adventure Time. Heck, hate to say, but ever since Regular Show premiered, I've liked it better than the accompanying Adventure Time episode. Better than Adventure Time at its best? Not yet, but it's better than the most recent few. Yeah, woo, Regular Show! So far, I think my favorite thing is Skips. Sorry, his run cycle just makes me crack up every time. Pick fucked around with this message at 19:01 on Sep 29, 2010 |

Y'know, I only have one complaint about the coffee bean episode (other than it scarring my soul forever), and really, it's a complaint that encompasses a lot of things, but since it showed up here most recently, this is where I'm going to talk about it. I'm really tired of shows feeling like they immediately need to establish the "not-gays", to borrow a form of remonstration from Red Letter Media. I mean, in Adventure Time and Regular Show, we almost immediately get hit with the pink love interest character. Why? Will people actually think these characters are gay otherwise? I just don't get why shows and movies seem to be so keen on pointing this out when it's not relevant. "Lady pecs" aside (a joke that will go down in history) she really didn't add anything to the episode. The episode was all about that creepy-rear end coffee bean (stole the show is all I'm saying). It's a show about some best friends who work at a park with a skipping yeti, talking lollipop, and anthropomorphized gumball machine. Are there parents out there, angrily writing e-mails about sausage festivals to network censors? (" It just feels a little... condescending? Like, oh, hello audience, I realize you have never had a real friendship in your life, but did you know that two best friends don't automatically want to jump each other's bones? I was surprised, too! Well, in this case, Mordecai is all about the lady pecs, so he's heterosexual. Stay tuned for next week's episode when we have some random female walk by and we establish the same for all other male characters! ... What? Why do we need to do this? When kids see best friends hanging out, they certainly don't jump to this conclusion. (Do kids even watch CN shows?) Parents who would object to the evil deadly mortal sin of homosexuality probably don't watch RS or let their kids watch RS anyway, and even they wouldn't have any grounds to assume it was there in the first place. Why can't we just watch friends hang out any more without having the show automatically draw out Very Clear Boundaries? It's a bluejay and a raccoon! Just let them play video games in peace! If it's important, then the topic will come up later, not just get shoehorned into an episode that isn't improved by it. (That could have been an entire additional minute of coffee bean footage. Think of the .gifs!)

I think people assuming that I am claiming that it's "oppressing homosexuals" are completely missing the point, probably deliberately so. I have made it very clear that, if anything, I think it's disrespectful to the concept of platonic friendship. I don't think there's anything suspect about two people being friends, and yet every single show I've started watching immediately pins down character sexualities (straight AND non-straight alike). As for "but otherwise, Mordecai wouldn't have wanted to go to the concert  ," you're missing the point that there was little if any plot significance to Mordecai not wanting to go and any number of potential excuses. I just want one--just one!--show in my life that's about friendship that isn't afraid to just show the friendship!As I also pointed out, RS is hardly alone in this, but it just happens to be the most recent show I picked up watching.

I feel like Skips is a really good straight-man character. Unlike the equivalent in many other shows, Skips is actually shown as being fairly good-natured and normal. Even though Skips is unhappy with the main duo a lot of the time, he nevertheless seems to be a solid protagonist. Also, I loving love that Benson's little coin thingy is shaped like a heart.

I always get these on iTunes as soon as I can, but I hate waiting for it to update (and since I'm in central Europe, it's obviously not on normal TV). Thanks for letting me contribute to the thread without getting spoilered all the time!

Oh my god. This episode was crazier than most of the things on Adult Swim. We had a Clockwork Orange reference, sparkle-farting on someone's face, drinking whatever "unicorn slomp" is, straight-up loving murder, and whatever it was that happened to Benson, I... I don't even want to know.

Yeah, I felt this was a good episode for Rigby. The end really cinched it. I felt the last episode was similarly valuable for Mordecai. I think Regular Show is entirely capable of being as developed and enriching as a longer-format show, and I'm sure if they went for a double-sized episode, it would be amazing. Venture Bros did an hour-long episode and everyone loved it; I'm sure Regular Show could spend 24 minutes to their fullest.

"You wanna go back to that dizzy world?" "Yes." And "You can't fire me; I thought of the marker thing." Another fantastic episode, holy poo poo. This show has been incredible from the first episode on.

Macrame_God posted:I've gone back to watch "Party Pete" a few times since it last aired and I think it might be my favorite episode of RS yet. Every time I watch it I see something new (like the Cheezers girl hanging out in the background at the party) and there are lots of little bits in there that always make me laugh. I particularly enjoy the way Mordecai says the line "Aw yeah! In your face, Muscle Man." I have to say, I thought this was another incredible episode. It wasn't monkeycheese random, but was still gloriously surreal. The crowd shots looked great. The lighting effects looked great. The centaurs were awesome, but not as awesome as the flaming toilet, which really was just about the coolest thing. And it wasn't the breast joke that got me, it was Benson taking off his bathrobe and getting in the tub. I know he's naked all the time, but that suddenly made it very conspicuous....

I actually thought that this episode was less fun when the crazy poo poo started (though it was loving awesome, best show on TV). Benson flipping his poo poo with the garbage can was one of the best moments in TV history. I could not stop laughing.

Man, if you think Regular Show is badly animated, I don't know how you handle most cartoons on television. I've seen worse animation and animation errors in feature films. (Pebble and the Penguin, anyone?)

JT Jag posted:Yeah at times I think Margaret isn't even in the friend zone with Mordecai, as such as the Hooters Waitress zone (but with coffee). She's just friendly with everyone, it's part of the job. Yeah, that's the feeling I get. Mordecai is cool to us because we follow his adventures and like him as a character, but from her point of view as a datable item, he'd basically be a step down from her regular fare. Her other boyfriends have been of a higher caliber than some ambitionless slacker who works at a park and gets paid via change in an envelope. We really can't fault her for trying for something a little more.

Tartarus Sauce posted:The character interactions were all extremely cute. I especially like how Rigby started to warm up to Eileen, especially since I was initially worried that it was going to be a "jealous pal completely ruins the vacation"-type episode. I totally agree with all this! It was nice to see a positive spin on, well, so much.
