    Regular show is the only show where I can say Freddy Fazbear had a shootout with the feds
  • @plank7563
    never thought a philosophical ass speech about a Margaret could help me move on so much easier, all the praise is deserved.
  • @pauly1k
    I can’t help but feel so bad for CJ this entire series.
  • @hegyak
    Benson's Speech to Mordecai where he says, "Maby nothing will change. But, at least you will have closure." Benson, was more then a Boss. He was a Dad. A Bro. A True Man. Sometimes, guys need that.
  • @ultima1033
    Hey Jay, You know who ELSE loves this show? 😈
  • Benson's breakdown over the cart is such a good monologue. And it makes you understand his character as somebody who's a hard ass but for a good reason and his own safety
  • @leeloo4272
    My boyfriend had me watch this show with him, he said it was special to him and wanted to see how it ended. We finished it maybe two weeks ago and both of us ended up crying lol, but truly this show was something so special. Once it was over I just felt my gut sink and felt how incredible it was. We're 20 year old's working full time and going to college and yeah this show really incapacitated everything I've felt these past 3 years. The boring days working in retail and going to school sucks but this show related in way that wasn't depressing. Every night we sat down together ate dinner and watched this show, truly it was a perfectly realistic.

    I was in 12 when this show premiered, I watched until around season 5/6 and never really picked it up again until a few weeks ago. The ending hit me hard. Not too long ago I was like Mordecai and Rigby. Worked a dead end job and lived to slack off and have fun any chance I could get. I’m now 25, graduated college recently, and am getting married in two weeks. Eventually, everything changed. Mordecai and Rigby eventually grew up, just as I did.
  • @ssscout
    you weren't lying when you said this vid was full of banger songs
  • @Bradfortimus
    Not only is this video a masterpiece, no one is talking about this PERFECT music choice. this stuff hits hard
  • I think the best thing about it is the message is actually "move on, but don't change who you are inside" I think that's the most telling thing about the ending montage is that everyone's lives and surroundings change but they themselves don't. Mordecai moves on and continues his creative pursuits in Art College and finds love that way. But to be truly creative is to be childish and still have that sense of wonder and carefree nature about things. So it's a natural progression for him but he's also still the same man at the beginning of the show deep down. Rigby literally just becomes a stay at home Dad while Eileen is the cook and breadwinner. Which is just... so perfect. And shows that no matter what, Rigby is gonna be Rigby. Same with Muscle Man, literally the only thing that changed about his life and surroundings is that he's got a huge family now. He still lives in his trailer seemingly still at the park, he's still wild and crazy and he still runs around with his shirt off. He's still Muscle Man, because he IS Muscle Man. Which is actually the entire point of the episode where he proposed to Starla. Benson is still the same old Benson at the park. Skips gets a (side-)job as a mechanic which fits him like a glove but he still remembers and thinks about his life all the time and never forgets or changes who he is(granted he's kind of an odd case since he's actually lived tons of lives and is literally immortal but still.) Fives moves on with his girl and becomes a DJ. And the ending scene with Mordecai and Rigby shows that even if they've grown and gotten older and have families now. They haven't actually *changed*. they're still deep down the same fun loving """kids""" that they were from the beginning. Which is honestly incredibly remarkable as most things teach us that to grow up is to abandon any senses of "fun" or "play and carefree attitude" and such. And I think that's the best part is that they all grew as people but showed that they didn't need to lose any of who they are or repress any of their nature. And reminder Pops gave them the chance for all this to happen in the first place BECAUSE HE REFUSED TO CHANGE WHO HE WAS AND DIDN'T DO THINGS THE NORMAL WAY!😔✊ "Mordo: Man can't believe it's been twenty years, feels like nothings changed. I still wish Pops were here to see this. Riggs: If it wasn't for Pops we wouldn't have any of this. Mordo: yeah true... Hey.. Do you still think those old video games are in the shed? Riggs: yeah we should try em out, for Old Carts Sake." The more things change the more they stay the same. Hmnhmnhmnhmn WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Hehe I can't believe we used to do that.
  • @blaze_hammer
    muscleman is pretty patient with mordecai for not flooring him at his wedding
  • one of my favorite things about the episode with rigby's prom was how even under all the insults his dad threw at him about being a thief, he never told him that his mom gave him the keys. I feel like younger rigby would have 100% tried to throw anyone under the bus to get out of the full blame, but here he just takes it knowing that he's protecting her too
  • @coolcharles45
    Legitimately just listened to this video while stocking soda juice water at walmart overnight at 19. Accurate, amazing content. Amazing show, thanks Jay.
  • i’m 17, in two months i’ll graduate and turn 18 in the same week. i’m working at walmart, every day the same mundane tasks over and over, and the parts of this video where you were serious and talked from your experience was really nice and reassuring, and this show was incredibly relatable when it describes things that seem so important at the time but don’t end up meaning much in the end
  • WELL DONE, SERIOUSLY WELL DONE. Regular Show will always have a special place in my heart. Amazing music taste, fit the video perfectly. Watching it as a kid, I never really understood the deeper concepts the show was trying to produce. As I’ve gotten older, I tend to go back to the show and admire the beauty Regular Show was.
  • @Hamantha
    Sam Marin was just carrying the show vocally. Man voices half of the cast
  • @GeuseWRLD
    This video hit me so astronomically hard. I'm in a rut, fighting with my gf, wanting to do more with myself and just constantly finding ways to run away from everything. I haven't been thinking lately, I've become Mordecai. This video helped me realize that, and I really appreciate this piece. This show was much more powerful than I ever imagined, thanks for helping me realize that.
  • @VanitasDatBoi
    Dude, fantastic job. Somehow, a retrospective video about Regular Show made me open my eyes and realize that I need to start living my life. I just graduated college, and I have been able to put off getting a job because I was lucky enough to get into stocks in high school. I live with my best friend ( who, no shit, is exactly like Rigby ), and luckily I have had enough money to cover my part of the rent and bills and just coast the past couple of years while I was in college. What you said about Mordecai being afraid of change resonated with me so fucking hard. I had paid internships and stuff during college, but I have never had an actual job in my entire life. After listening to you explain how his, and everyone else's arc in the show was about moving forward, it hit me like a truck. In my head, I always thought once I got a job, it was over. I considered it the final nail in the coffin that would make me an adult. But the truth is I have been an adult for the past 3 years now. I have paid my own bills, bought my own food, bought my own car, taken care of myself, made doctor's appointments, helped my friends out whenever I could, etc ... and I am just doing everything I can to try and live in the past. And sadly, just like fucking Mordecai, I obsessed over one girl in high school, and I never got over it. I told her how I felt and that she didn't feel the same way. So although I had that closure of knowing she didn't like me like Mordecai I never REALLY got over it. I let the IDEA of her ruin my relationships while I was in college and set myself up for failure without realizing it. I have always had an issue with letting go, and I was semi-aware of it, but this video really made me sit down and think about it. Im gonna do my best to work through my shit and start being happy with my life. Considering all of the comments I doubt that you will ever see this, but on the off chance that you do, I mean this from the absolute bottom of my heart; thank you so much.
