Have you always wanted to date a girl named "The Power"?

Do you like "special entertainment"?

Do you wanna send a bunch of baby ducks to the moon?

Do you often wonder how the H you're gonna fix this S?

Do you like lady pecs?

IF SO THEN YOU ARE PROBABLY ALREADY WATCH REGULAR SHOW CONGRATULATIONS

But for the rest of you, here's a post explaining what the hell I'm talking about.

Regular Show is the newest addition to Cartoon Network's 8:00 Monday block aka "the best half hour on television." Specifically it airs at 8:15 after Adventure Time (which you already watch because it's MATHEMATICAL!) It was created by JG Quintel, and now you're probably like "Why does that name sound familiar and I'll tell you why, because he was also a director on The Marvelous Misadventures of Flapjack (which you watched because you are a decent, caring person) and a storyboard artist on Camp Lazlo (which you also watched because it was pretty cool.)

Anyway, Regular Show is about Mordecai and Rigby, a 23 year old blue jay and raccoon with a 3rd grade education respectively who work with Skips, a skipping yeti, for Benson a talking gumball machine. They also deal with Pops who is a crazy old guy with an enormous head (he's possibly a lollipop). They all work in a public park or something it's not important.


See if you can figure out who is who!

Other notables:
  • Muscle Man
  • Hi-Five Ghost
  • A montage set to what is pretty much "Tom Sawyer" by Rush
  • A montage set to "Working For The Weekend" by Loverboy
  • Coffee coffee coffee coffee coffee coffee coffee coffee coffee coffee coffee coffee
  • I'm not a hole you're a hole you hole

As of this post 3 episodes have aired, and a Pilot exists too. Some kind Youtube user has uploaded them all and continues to do so, so here are the links to them:
Pilot
Episode 1
Episode 2
Episode 3

Also here's a bunch of gifs:

...of SCIENCE! posted:

Finally caught up on Regular Show. I'd been avoiding it because I remember the pilot from last year being really, really weak but I liked JG Quintel's student films so I gave it a shot and I liked it. It does feel a little too self-consciously surreal or "random" at times (like one of the main characters being a sentient gum ball machine for no reason) and it doesn't match Flapjack's humor or Adventure Time's, well, adventure but it does have promise.







So, discuss and try not to drop your balls!

I typed the whole thing up in a SALR Quick Post window with the right tag and everything, but kept opening and closing tabs so in the end I c/p'd it into a normal Thread Post thing and forgot to set the tag.

I've asked somebody with THE POWER to change it though.

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 :smug:," 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.

Yeah but platonic friends often have love interests (outside the friendship obviously) too. It's not like the two are mutually exclusive, and saying "No we will never ever do this thing that usually leads to character development of some sort" seems like a poor creative decision.

I think that goes for anything too, not just Regular Show.

Also calling it the "not-gay" comes off as very standoffish with regards to how people respond to you.

What's funny is that I caught an episode of "How It's Made" earlier today that was about hotdogs. Before that I didn't know that they made hotdogs with HFCS. I guess I'll have to check the ingredients on the back before I purchase any hotdogs in the future. :barf:

You can pretty much safely assume there is HFCS in everything in the US. People bitch about how it's killing us and making us fat and that we should go back to sugar and whatnot but honestly I think if we just stopped putting in in every single product it would go a long way.

We have a few different games. About 6-9 of us get together in a conference room typically. In one, we just write out possible episode titles, throw 'em into a hat and draw them out one by one. We're given 2 minutes per title to write a premise and then another title is drawn out. In another we fold a sheet of paper into quadrants and draw a picture on the top quadrant. We pass it to the person on our right after 2 mins and he/she writes the first act of the story based on the picture. Then we pass it again, and again until all 3 acts are done.

A lot of the premises are pretty raunchy and could never make it to an episode. I kind of remember one where Muscle Man gets arrested for selling crack, or there was the one where Rigby and Muscle Man get married. It's funny how what we're talking about at lunch colors the games, like one time during Shark Week we all ended up writing shark related premises. It's a lot of fun!


Yeah, I think? Some fan posted it.

There might be some 1/2 hour specials like how Flapjack got one... but nothing official.

People who aren't me have the best jobs :allears:

Shark Week-themed episodes would be amazing. Shark Week should pretty much just be a TV-wide thing, not just for Discovery.
