Regular Show is an American animated television series created by J. G. Quintel. The series revolves around the daily lives of two friends, Mordecai (a blue jay), and Rigby (a raccoon).
They work as groundskeepers at a park and spend their days trying to avoid work and entertain themselves by any means. This is much to the chagrin of their supervisor Benson (a gumball machine) and their coworker Skips (a yeti), but to the delight of Pops (a lollipop).
The main characters of Regular Show.
Main Characters
Mordecai
Mordecai (voiced by J. G. Quintel) is a 23-year-old anthropomorphic blue jay who works as a groundskeeper at The Park. He has been best friends with Rigby ever since childhood. Mordecai is more conscientious, intelligent, responsible, and mature about his actions than Rigby is, which sometimes leads to him opposing Rigby when he is the cause of some kind of chaotic problem, albeit unintentionally.
Even though Mordecai dislikes his job, he is often willing to put up with it begrudgingly as opposed to Rigby, who is more open about his hatred towards his job and prone to avoid work as much as possible. Mordecai loves to play video games and in most cases is a better player than Rigby, he also demonstrates decent strength, such as carrying large boulders, fighting the death bear, never getting hurt by Rigby's punches, and being able to punch Rigby across an entire room with ease.

He can sometimes become caught up in his emotions, often letting them get the better of him. Mordecai's romantic life is the subject of several episodes, particularly his crush on Margaret Smith, a red-breasted robin who worked as a waitress at a local coffee shop. Mordecai would often hang out with her, along with Rigby and Eileen Roberts.
Mordecai.
Mordecai had many failed attempts at starting a relationship with her due to either his own nerves or Margaret having a boyfriend at the time. He attempts to date other people in "Yes Dude Yes" and meets CJ. Though the two have a lot in common they part ways at the end of the episode. Mordecai later bumps into CJ at a New Year's Eve party and they start dating soon after. CJ and Mordecai's relationship is strained due to CJ seeing Mordecai and Margaret having fun together on several occasions as she returned from college.
In the episode "Camping Can Be Cool", it is revealed that he attended art school before being employed at The Park; however, he did not finish school due to his bad portrait skills, which were revealed in the episode "Bad Portrait". In the epilogue to "A Regular Epic Final Battle", Mordecai quits The Park, parts ways with Rigby, moves to New York City, and returns to making art. He opens a successful exhibition and meets a bat woman whom he eventually marries and starts a family.
Rigby
Rigby (voiced by William Salyers) is a 3'5" 23-year-old anthropomorphic brown raccoon who works as a groundskeeper at The Park. He has been best friends with Mordecai since childhood and is more prone to slacking off than Mordecai is. Rigby is hyperactive and extremely mischievous, which sometimes puts him at odds with Mordecai.

He mostly lives for simply having a good time and relaxing, which he achieves occasionally through selfish acts like lying or cheating. His immaturity often gets the better of him and puts others into trouble, often causing many of the chaotic and surreal problems that arise in The Park. Mordecai punches him on the arm for this as a running gag. Like Mordecai, Rigby loves to play video games, but he is the worse of the two in most cases.
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. It is hinted in the episode "'Ello Gov'nor" that Rigby's last name may be Riggerson.
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 several times, but he quickly begins to warm up to her and implies that he likes her, as well. Rigby is allergic to eggs, as evidenced in the episode "Eggscellent" 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.
Rigby.
Rigby also faced death several times and actually died four of those times, but was swiftly resurrected. In the epilogue to "A Regular Epic Final Battle", Rigby quits The Park and moves in with Eileen.

Benson
Benson Dunwoody (voiced by Sam Marin) is a grumpy, austere, no-nonsense but well-meaning middle-aged 5'4" anthropomorphic gumball machine who works as the manager of The Park. Usually he is at constant odds with Mordecai and Rigby; he is only occasionally depicted as being at odds with Muscle Man and Hi Five Ghost.
He tends to yell at his employees when they are slacking off and not working, and frequently threatens to get them fired, although he was never successful. Despite being at constant odds with them, Benson becomes more friendly toward Mordecai and Rigby after calming down in the episode "Benson Be Gone" and the three subsequently bond as the series progresses (he especially softens up to Mordecai in particular, as Mordecai exhibits more maturity and a willingness to learn and grow from his mistakes that Rigby severely lacks). He is skilled at stick hockey and formerly played the game competitively.
Benson.
Benson used to date Audrey, a human woman who lives across from him in his apartment complex. In the episode "Pam I Am", Benson develops feelings for one of the dome scientists named Pam and they go on a 'date'. However, Dr. Langer witnesses the 'date' and makes a new rule that forbids the dome staff from dating anyone who works at the park. At the end of the episode, it is implied that Benson and Pam will date once the dome is gone.
During the beginning of the episode "Fries Night", Benson contacts Pam back on earth, to which she revealed that having a "long distance" relationship with Benson because he is now in space is too difficult for her. She states that the reason for the break up is that she doesn't know when or if he will ever return to earth again. In the epilogue to "A Regular Epic Final Battle", Benson becomes Mr. Maellard's caretaker, who eventually leaves behind his possessions as well as the ownership of The Park to Benson.
Pops
Pops Maellard (later revealed to be Mega Kranus; voiced by Sam Marin) is a cheerful and somewhat naive 6'2" humanoid lollipop man who resides at the house in The Park and always talks in a whiny-like tone. His adoptive 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.
Pops tends to dress and act like he is in the late 1800s to early 1900s and utilizes technology and slang from that time period. He carries small butterscotch 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.
Pops.
Despite being an elderly man, he is very childish and is often oblivious to serious things around him. Pops has also been shown to have immense strength on several occasions, despite his slim build. In the episode "Prank Callers", it is shown that Pops was once a more serious and mature man back in the early 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.
Pops once owned a British doll named Percival, or Percy, who turned his back on him and tried to kill Pops in "Terror Tales of the Park". In Season 8, Pops is revealed to be the universe's Chosen One due to being born with telekinetic abilities and ever since he is one with nature back in some previous season's episode, as well as having an evil version of himself with the ability to erase a person from existence.
Pops' destiny is to kill Malum Kranus, his brother, to prevent the destruction of the universe. In "A Regular Epic Final Battle", it is revealed that his real name is Mega Kranus. Pops also realizes that the best way to defeat Malum Kranus is with kindness. Pops gives Malum Kranus a hug and the two fly into the sun, killing them both in the process, and the universe is saved.
The Very Best of Pops
Skips
Skips (born Walks; voiced by Mark Hamill impersonating Harvey Fierstein) is an 6'5" 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; however, he isn't always right. 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 or running. The reason why he always skips is discovered in the episode "Skips' Story," where it is learned that he had a girlfriend long ago, prior to him becoming immortal. The two of them constantly skipped. 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" where Mordecai and Rigby jam a printer and crash the computer whilst printing a card for Skips thanking him for his efforts to save them from being fired by Benson for their antics.
Skips.
In the episode "Free Cake", it is revealed that he must perform a ceremonial dance every year on his birthday to maintain his immortality.
Muscle Man
Mitchell "Muscle Man" Sorrenstein (voiced by Sam Marin) is a 5'8" 25-year-old obese, green-skinned man who works as 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 "Yo mama" jokes, much to the annoyance of everyone except Hi Five Ghost, his best friend. Although he can be rude due to his ego, he is ultimately shown to be polite, caring and resourceful 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 elder brother John, who goes by Muscle Bro, is also seen throughout the series. Muscle Man originally shared a rivalry with Mordecai and Rigby throughout the first two seasons. He began to get along with them and treat each other as friends when the third season began.
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 Sorrenstein in the episode "Muscle Woman" (in an early episode, it was originally listed as 'Steve Musselman', this was changed for unknown reasons). In "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, but he found that life very boring and gave it up.
Muscle Man.
In the epilogue to "A Regular Epic Final Battle", upon returning home Muscle Man discovers he has a three-year-old daughter. He and Starla live out their days in their trailer park home and have numerous children.
Hi-Five Ghost
Hi-Five Ghost (voiced by Jeff Bennett in season one, then by J. G. Quintel for the remainder of the series) is a 5'7" 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, "Hi-Fives", and sometimes simply as "Fives". Hi-Five Ghost rarely speaks throughout the first three seasons of the series, but he is given more dialogue from seasons four to eight. In the epilogue to "A Regular Epic Final Battle", Hi-Five Ghost and Celia become a married DJ duo and tour the world together.
Hi-Five Ghost.
Eileen Roberts
Eileen Roberts (voiced by Minty Lewis, a writer/storyboard artist for the series) is a 3'8" anthropomorphic mole who works as a waitress at a local coffee shop, previously alongside Margaret. She has a crush on Rigby, but he initially found her annoying before eventually having a change of heart.
She is notable for her intelligence and displays many skills and hobbies throughout the series including dancing, sewing, geology and astronomy. One of Eileen's odd personality quirks is her affinity for sea turtles, which is referenced in a few episodes. Eileen first appeared and met Mordecai and Rigby in the episode "Brain Eraser", in which she was puzzled by the former's awkward behavior toward Margaret. She also appears in the episode "Do Me a Solid", in which Rigby learns of Eileen's crush on him.
Although he does not reciprocate, he still goes along with it for a while. Since the episode "Camping Can Be Cool", Rigby has warmed up to, and fully reciprocated towards Eileen. He thought very highly of her and praised her actions through...
Eileen Roberts.
