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
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.
I'm in my early 20's, recently moved countries to start my independent life and find myself in the same shoes of mordecai, a college drop out, on an minimum wage job struggling to deal with my own feelings and thoughts. I used to watch the show when I was a kid for the goofy and weird stuff, now I fully understand the whole concept of it.
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
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.
@@LenAndLang Oh I more meant like a girlfriend or wife if she had never watched this show. I didn't mean that women wouldn't watch it. I'm glad that you watched it though. Who's your favorite character?
@@TheFirstCurse1 I know I just wanted to say a girl watches it but it was hard for me to say it. My favorite is benson or near the end of the show rigby
Regular show is actually the reason for my artis name😂😂 if anyone is looking for new music check mine out it’s on my profile, I’m tryna build a fanbase as a young artist. My best performing song is pound.
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.
im praying for you, good luck bro and thank you for the kind words, really do take care of yourself and grow, its hard but we all gotta do it, again good luck and hope you make it
Legitimately just listened to this video while stocking soda juice water at walmart overnight at 19. Accurate, amazing content. Amazing show, thanks Jay.
I keep coming back this video because it fucking amazing the vibes are immaculate please do adventure time next if you don’t got a upcoming project cause the way you explain everything and the music you use brings hella nostalgia but even if you don’t appreciate you for making these videos🙏🏽🔥
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
As a 23 year old girl (woman, who still very much feels like a kid) I STILL remember when Regular Show was being promoted on CN, in between episodes of Adventure Time, Chowder and Flapjack (some of my favorites) and I remember telling my cousin that it was going to be stupid and I wouldn't watch. Then the day it premiered, I fell in love. It was completely nonsensical and hilarious. It was one of the few times I had to eat my words and I was more than willing especially as the show continued. I love cartoons, always have. I love the comfort they bring and the nostalgia. I love how nothing is ever really set in stone. I loved that about Regular Show, very few episodes had any lasting consequences, and then as the series progressed, characters would make a comeback or we would see Mordecai and Margaret's (and eventually CJ's) relationship blossom and die. And in between was the most outrageous, "who-thought-of-this-shit?" shit you would ever see and it was always SUCH a good time. All this to say, Regular Show will ALWAYS be one of my favorite shows, and definitely in the Top 5 of my favorite cartoons (Gravity Falls is right up there with it) so I'm excited to watch your commentary on it and hope to take a trip down memory lane through The Park (and not cry remembering my childhood)
This is a perfect summary of EXACTLY how I feel about this show. I’m 24 myself so I grew up with the same shows. Ironically, I never actually watched this entire series until recently. And DAMN does it hold up well. It’s feels a little weird to put an animated show that premiered on Cartoon Network in my top 5 shows of all time along shows like Better Call Saul and Breaking Bad, but the massive relatability this show gives me every-time I watch it is just something you don’t get from any other animated show. With that being said, I need to check out more of Gravity Falls. I watched an episode and I really liked it, and I see that everyone who enjoyed Regular show recommends it.
i’ve been religiously watching this show since elementary school. single-handedly the only show i will get excited to watch every time, without fail. in college rn and i’m still not sick of it. criminally underrated and not talked about enough
@@Tempe415facts a good ending makes the show remembered way better then if the show is good for multiple seasons, I mean we don’t talk about game of thrones.
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.
I normally hate when creators make these type of videos and ruin it by the choice of music in the background. But yours are truly amazing. They’re perfectly hand-picked for every aspect and emotion when analyzing any Regular Show episode. Amazing job dude✨
bro I legit almsot cried multiple times watching this video. I really sympathize with Rigby and his parents especially. And with finals wrapping up for my first year of college, I look back on what my parents have done for me the bad and mostly the good, and the support they gave me. Just the emotion of thinking about the future and the anxiety of what comes next. all from the idea of regular show. of coarse not just regular show but this video essay entirely. PS AMAZING MUSIC CHOICES
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.
26:35 this is my favourite scene in ANY kids cartoon, bensons meltdown is such a real thing that even children can empathise with him, you can see he is trying to hold back the tears and my god the voice actor got benson tone of voice perfect, no matter how many times I hear the meltdown I can’t help but feel bad for the gumball machine
that scene right there made me really relate to benson (as a child and honestly in my early adult life too) shit made me cry while watching this video fr
Regular Show is one of the best shows to show people what it means to be cool. I remember when I was a kid I viewed the word cool in the most stereotypical jockey way, so I viewed characters like Benson as a loser. The more I watched the show, I realized that everyone at the park was pretty awesome, and it taught me how to act around the people in my real life
Fuck man this video really got to me. As a kid, Regular Show was my absolute favorite show growing up. I used to DVR every episode when it aired and would watch them again, again, and again and never get tired of them. I fell off around the middle of Season 5 when I was about 12/13 due to depression and other things, but I did manage to catch the last two seasons when I was in high school and I really enjoyed them. I'm now almost 22 and a struggling disillusioned college student struggling to come to terms with the fact young adult life wasn't anything like what I expected or wanted, and I may just have to revisit this show because I didn't fully realize how much Regular Show embodies just that. Jolly good video.
i feel like things can get better, right now life seems hard for just about everyone but no matter what we live on and we push forward, i feel exactly the same about that disillusionment but that just means we gotta work to make the world how we see fit no? in how ever way we can, things will look up eventually and i hope you at least enjoy today and whatever days you can. thank you for the support
we got all the time in the world, were all 20 something year olds. although i cant believe its been 10 years and were all young adults now, sure we miss the good old days but remember when we wanted to grow up? if you ever feel down or unmotivated, do it for pops.
I’ve been out of High School for about 2 years. Watching the last few minutes really got to me… cause fuck it has been years since I first saw the pilot in 2009…. I WAS 6 WHEN I SAW THE DAMN SHOW. Now 20… I realized how much time has passed
Mordecai at muscle mans wedding was one of the most painful things I think I've ever seen come across a screen and I've played Halo 2 Legendary and watched Scott's Tots from The Office.
You know a video essay is good when at the end you can reflect upon yourself and accept a part of yourself you havnt accepted yet so far. Awsome video man.
Dude this video is amazing. Regular show and adventure time was a big part of my young adult life. I got to meet JG Quintel on the streets of downtown San Diego during comic con and no one else recognized him. And I totally fan boy’d so hard and probably seemed like a huge nerd. My girlfriend and I went to every regular show and adventure time panel and I have the fondest memories from back then. Thank you for giving us an awesome video and helping me relive that whole era from my past
As a 20-something year old working overnight at Walmart, I've have never been called out like this in my life. This show has had a lasting impact on me. And thanks for the wonderful video, you've just rarned yourself another subscriber
Regular show is actually the reason for my artis name😂😂 if anyone is looking for new music check mine out it’s on my profile, I’m tryna build a fanbase as a young artist. My best performing song is pound.
The literal moment at the Christmas Party when Mordechai threw it all away, I remember as a teen actually yelling at my screen at this absolute bozo. But part of it was also just around the time I got my first real breakup and honestly? I kinda understand Mordechai alot more than I did back then.
Great video. It’s a shame Regular Show never got a full series DVD or Blu-ray release, especially considering how they have the Blu-ray box set in the show.
Fantastic video man, I found nostalgia in watching this from the randomly picked episodes on Cartoon Network, and seeing an in-depth explanation like this describing what was going on when 6 years ago couldn't understand, it makes me feel emotions I don't understand. It takes a lot to make me cry, but the final sequence almost made me tear up. Fantastic show, phenomenal editing, and amazing video.
I connect with Mordecai on such an unexplainable level. I'm in such a similar situation, with my own "Margaret". A person constantly haunting my thoughts like a ghost. It's honestly hard to accept reality sometimes. In my fallible, irrational, human heart, I still desire her. She's not attainable in the way I want, but sometimes what you want isn't what's right. We figured out earlier in our lives that we just don't fit in that way. As hard as that is to accept, sometimes it's what's necessary. I crave her every moment of my day, but even if she were to come to me, offering all I desire, I would like to think I'd still say no. I can't do that to her again. This show hits you in a deep part of yourself. A part you don't want to acknowledge. But it's there. It will always be there. Sometimes, you just need to seek the closure and move on.
Same man, my first love interest hit me in a moment when i really didn't had the maturity or ability to express my feelings and i always got the fear to screw my friendship with her due to that, it already passed 3 years and i still think about her besides i know we really wouldn't fit together well and she isn't really interested in my in that way, it's just hard to let shit back sometimes and you always feel like an image of her pops out in your head from time to time.
thank you for sharing. i am so relieved to know that i’m not the only one who has experienced something like this. someone that haunts you & always grows back like weeds in a garden. i’m still coming to terms with it myself. best wishes to you, i hope we can all move forward one day
That’s honestly how I feel about my crush. It’s hard for me to not dream or think about her, but even so, I always know that even if somehow we ended up together, I still think she deserves someone better. Like yeah it sucks to accept and/or letting go of my first interest, but I always tell myself it’s for the best and to focus on myself for my own sake.
I'm only 17 but I can't help but just love videos like this; long movie-length videos about stuff I love. I feel like absolute crap most days yet whenever I see videos like this it makes me so happy I grew up with stuff like this and people talk about the stuff I love to this day. Amazing video loved the ending!
I feel this too man and I've had so many parallels with different aspects of the show I see and feel traits of Mordicai and Rigby within myself and it just hurts- but in a good way I guess I’m still not ready to face my demons 😔 I still run...
@@Yamomshouse69nsome people at that age may not entirely relate to the show like someone who's older might, just a lack of experience And then there's others like me, who at 16 has already had two crappy jobs and weird relationships, and had to look back on my past as I've grown up Time is kinda different for everyone like that
@@BrowniePembroke My dude, being able to enjoy a video about a show made for teens and young adults as a teen or young adult doesn’t make you special. Not only is that normal it’s expected.
I'm glad someone else really appreciates the relationship drama in this show! It was my favorite part of rewatching it in college because I felt like I was going through the same shit. This show has many Ws, but the biggest one in my opinion is watching Rigby and Eileen go from putting up with each other to being the show's OTP. Great shit.
This video is SUPER underrated. Kudos to you for addressing such a relatable show for many people and analyzing and putting in to words why it meant a lot for the fans of the show. I love the style of the video and the editing too. Very entertaining and I didn't even feel the 1h 45min pass.
Since it finally got reposted, I can now talk to all my friends about this video like I was before. It was so good I was telling everyone about it, I shared them the link I saved and it was a blocked video. Thank you for getting it back up, this looks like it took a lot of effort and it paid off. Love the video.
Bro don't get so down on yourself for having longer-form content. I love listening to you talk abt shows while I do my own animating! I hope to hear a lot more from this channel in the future. seriously some good work.
This video means a lot I’m going through a part of my life where I don’t know where to go What I’ll be, what will happen And hearing you talk about growing up, talking about mordecai being stuck in comfort, and the fact that everything that happens in this part of life is normal, it resonates with me Thank you, it’s so good to hear such an emotionally resonant voice in this sea of negativity This video was incredible, I’m glad to now be a subscriber :)
I legit have been saving this video for the past few months because I wanted to binge watch the entirety of regular show first, glad i waited because this video was worth it!
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.
48:28 the smell of lavender air freshener sometimes makes me sad because thats a smell I always had in the background while watching new episodes of Regular Show. Even though I can always rewatch the show, that lavender smell reminds me that the show that brought me so much joy isn’t making new episodes
As a kid I never really liked when this show started developing. I stopped keeping up around mid season 6 I believe though I did catch the finale the night it aired and it definitely had me in tears. But as an adult now everything about this show and the way it evolved means a lot to me and I can really relate to a lot of it. Particularly Rigby, I see a lot of myself in him and while I don't think I've even gotten near where his development ended I really hope to see myself there one day. His story is incredibly inspirational. Regular Show means so much to me and this video is a real masterpiece, the big speech about the relatability of it at the end hits stupidly hard and I cant wait to see your future stuff. Keep up the good work.
One of the first video essays ive seen with an Appropriate and meaningfull soundtrack its such an odd detail but it really adds to the video as a whole
Mordecai's monologue about why he cant get with CJ because he still misses Margaret despite knowing shes gone, hits so close to home. Growing up with this show you enjoy the adventures but rewatching it now you understand the journey. The understand the characters and their lives. Im at university, and its likely I'll never see my ex again, and honestly thats been one of the hardest realisations of my life. But knowing it isn't just me experiencing that pain, it makes it ever so slightly easier. Life is never easy and we will make mistakes. Some people go, others stay, but there'll always be people waiting to meet you one day. The ones who leave may return, but its important to remember to always focus on yourself and those still around you, rather than the what ifs. Thank you Regular Show❤
i come back to this video every time i question my life or run into bumps in the road. this simple retrospective on a show i loved as a kid has helped me so much in my adult life. it reminds me that everyone goes through these things and end up ok. thank you so much for making this.
thank you for this. you rekindled my love for regular show and introduced feelings and thoughts i’ve never slowed down for. i appreciate you a lot man.
This was actually an emotional ride. Grew up right along side them. 22 with a daughter now and the show just resonates with me at such a strong level. You described how I feel about the show pretty much perfectly. Glad to see other were impacted by this masterpiece like me
This is the greatest, most home hitting video I’ve ever watched in my life. Dead ass teared up at the end of the video because it felt like I was reliving and still currently living in some parts of my life rn. Although it may not be all the same, I have gone/still through a lot of the emotional damage Mordecai overcame, but this video put everything into perspective in the best way for me. Thank you for this masterpiece
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.
You created a masterpiece of a video bro, haven’t been so entertained by content in a while, loved all the different levels of effort into this, great voiceover and editing, thanks for the experience bro🔥🙏🏽
that first 2 minutes is literally what i’m going thru at the moment, and ofc i know i’m not the only one dealing with mundanity and having thoughts of “is this even worth it?” it’s still reassuring and makes me feel a bit more comfortable hearing someone voice my internal monologue/stuff i tell to my mom and she just says “tough shit that’s life”
(btw i love my mom and she’s not wrong that’s rly just how life is and it’s hard to cope with and nearly impossible to escape from but i believe it’s possible thru pursuing ur passions and what u love)
Regular show is actually the reason for my artis name😂😂 if anyone is looking for new music check mine out it’s on my profile, I’m tryna build a fanbase as a young artist. My best performing song is pound.
Regular Show was the pinnocle of my childhood, and many others. Truthfully, no matter what perspective you're watching the show from, there's always something to laugh about and relate to. I cannot think of an experience nearly as abstractly unique as the golden age that was Regular Show and Adventure Time. You don't get to see realism and fiction being so seemlessly intertwined like you did in these bold renditions of a "children's show." This quite literally is the definition of an ageless classic.
I love this video so much. I’ve watched it a few times and each time I find it so fascinating, I love hearing what you have to say about it. I have such a deep-rooted connection to regular show, and that connection deepens each time I watch this video. I feel like Regular show is only talked about or viewed on such a shallow level because it’s so absurd. It’s so easy to miss the deeper meaning. Regular show has always been such a comfort show for me, but it becomes comforting on a completely different level whenever you view it from an adult perspective. As you said, the trials and hardships of navigating adult life isn’t really talked about in shows like this, not just because it’s a kids show. It makes you feel seen. It’s a goofy, funny, ridiculous show, but it’s so much more than that. Thanks again man 🤝
i rewatched this show in its entirety during the depths of the pandemic lockdown. it was my senior year of high school and i was going through a lot. but as cheesy as it sounds, this show really got me through those tough times. loved it as a kid when it first came out and i still love it now. they just don’t make cartoons like they used to.
Holy shit I just finished my last day of high school and this just described most of my feelings and things I’m going through didn’t think I would get this from a damn regular show video
Its a weird feeling graduation i graduated a year ago and even though a lot of good and bad has happened it still feels like something is missing and just feels aimless but you just gotta keep on moving on
The whole bit about moving on, whether it be of a person or a place really hit home. I didn’t expect to cry watching this. I loved Regular Show so much for the same reasons you do. I recently watched through all of it and it’s my favorite cartoon (that’s not anime) of all time 💜
Man, I remember watching this vid half way through and stopping to continue watching it the next day, but it was gone. Hope this doesn't get taken down again, YT copyright abuse is total BS.
Yes dude, please keep this up or don’t give up on posting up it, such a good video and retrospective. Appreciate all the work you put in man and hope to see more from you. Hope you’re taking care of yourself too, know this TH-cam shit must be stressful
This might be my favorite video on youtube. Not only is it a deep dive into one of my favorite shows of all time, but it also has some of the best music choices throughout it that I have ever heard. Well done and well made.
dude i’ve watched this video so so many times i can’t get over how perfect this is. it just makes two hours evaporate so quickly this video is phenomenal.
I feel relatively young among most of the people who know this show, but when i was really young, like ~5, i first saw this show when my dad and brother were watching it together and a few years later i decided to rewatch/watch it all. I was probably 10-11 when i did that and I forgot about so much until now. I’m glad i watched this video because it reminded me of how good this show was.
i'm playing this video in the background and i just wanna say you are one of the funniest people I've seen making niche content like this and the songs you add in your videos are such a treat, when I heard elliott smith thats when I decided to write my comment 😭 PLEASE KEEP MAKING VIDEOS DUDE they are so good
Okay, ngl, this video was a masterpiece. I did not expect to sit through the whole thing or even shed tears at how raw and true this is, or what Regular Show meant to me as a kid and even now as a 20 something year old. Wow, I'm floored and I thank you for making this.
jay, i say this with absolutely no doubt in my mind, this is now my favorite video on this website. as a 21 year old in college and working a shitty job i hate, i've never resonated more with a video. the ending of this video when you spoke about first loves and growing up and moving on genuinely brought me to tears. i am so grateful this video exists, this whole experience was fantastic. thank you so much for making me feel something again
AMAZING vid. i’m so happy someone broke down my show and explained every single reason why this is my favorite show of all time. i’ve been in so many different situations like mordecai as i’ve gotten older and i figured what not to do based off seeing this stuff in my favorite show. so many very similar moments. not getting the girl you want, feeling depressed, feeling lost, having a best friend who flows so well with you bc he’s the opposite, this show was so real and i appreciated every moment when the show had its very real moments. this show really helped me grow up honestly
I’m almost 18 and yet I remember watching this when I was little and I’m sitting here at 11 at night realizing just how much I relate to these characters now as I get older and more mature and honestly closer to being an adult it just hits me how much this show really gets how it feels to be in your early years trying to figure out life. I’m still pretty early on but all this stuff is hitting me like a truck and so it is amazing to see a show about a blue jay and a raccoon get the struggle of finding yourself so right and the different perspectives it brings
This speaks to me because of all the friends I’ve made, and the memories I’ve made with them, showing that anyone can make a good memory if they are a great friend, or a shitty person lol. Great video, everyone talked about this show when we were young and now while we’re old. I just graduated high school, and this is a heavily relatable show and a heavily relatable video, and you did a great job recapping all of this show in its grungey entirety. Thanks man.
Honestly one of the best video essays I’ve ever seen. I’d totally rock this at the function. 100/10 work bro, I‘ve subbed and I’m gonna watch all your other content
It’s incredible to me how well this show mixed absolute insanity with realistic problems and realistic people. It was always the perfect brainworm to me. You did an amazing job of putting some my feelings on it into words. Thank you for doing it justice.
Mordecais little monologue hits me hard every time I hear it. I have the best significant other, a daughter who brightens my life and a family that actually cares and loves me. But sometimes I just want to go back in time to a part of my life where all I did was rot in my bed with no job or responsibilities,however I find my current life amazing because despite the stress I made it here to my highest point and I’m only going higher even if the universe tries to keep me down.
I can rarely sit down and focus on one thing so constantly and this video is so well made I didn't click off once. Regular show was and still is one of my favorite shows I have watched, this video made me see how besides the demons and fulfilling prophecy the show is just about people trying to enjoy life the best they can.

Thank you all so much for the support the last couple months, its honestly changed so much for me. new video coming out soon (NOT IN 4 MONTHS FROM NOW LOL) but its been a bumpy ride with college and all, so thank you for your patience. once again if you wanna help me keep making these videos, your patreonage would be greatly appreciated, some lil rewards thrown in there too! thank you all so much and you guys dont know how much this means to me. thank you from the bottom of my heart
Makes sense cause I was like, "what the, didn't I already watch this?"
I cry every time I see the climax of this show. Mostly because I get emotional over stories that have the hero sacrifice ending.

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
tbh while sometimes he can be rude, most of his actions towards mordecai and rigby are justified
Benson should have die for the final episode instead of Pops

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.
I'm in my early 20's, recently moved countries to start my independent life and find myself in the same shoes of mordecai, a college drop out, on an minimum wage job struggling to deal with my own feelings and thoughts. I used to watch the show when I was a kid for the goofy and weird stuff, now I fully understand the whole concept of it.

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
couldn’t agree more
rigby didn't improve much throughotu the show though

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.

As a 23 year old girl (woman, who still very much feels like a kid) I STILL remember when Regular Show was being promoted on CN, in between episodes of Adventure Time, Chowder and Flapjack (some of my favorites) and I remember telling my cousin that it was going to be stupid and I wouldn't watch. Then the day it premiered, I fell in love. It was completely nonsensical and hilarious. It was one of the few times I had to eat my words and I was more than willing especially as the show continued. I love cartoons, always have. I love the comfort they bring and the nostalgia. I love how nothing is ever really set in stone. I loved that about Regular Show, very few episodes had any lasting consequences, and then as the series progressed, characters would make a comeback or we would see Mordecai and Margaret's (and eventually CJ's) relationship blossom and die. And in between was the most outrageous, "who-thought-of-this-shit?" shit you would ever see and it was always SUCH a good time. All this to say, Regular Show will ALWAYS be one of my favorite shows, and definitely in the Top 5 of my favorite cartoons (Gravity Falls is right up there with it) so I'm excited to watch your commentary on it and hope to take a trip down memory lane through The Park (and not cry remembering my childhood)
gravity falls was so so good
Dude, are you ME?! This is pretty much exactly how I fell in love with the show lmao
Bro is 23
This is a perfect summary of EXACTLY how I feel about this show. I’m 24 myself so I grew up with the same shows. Ironically, I never actually watched this entire series until recently. And DAMN does it hold up well. It’s feels a little weird to put an animated show that premiered on Cartoon Network in my top 5 shows of all time along shows like Better Call Saul and Breaking Bad, but the massive relatability this show gives me every-time I watch it is just something you don’t get from any other animated show. With that being said, I need to check out more of Gravity Falls. I watched an episode and I really liked it, and I see that everyone who enjoyed Regular show recommends it.
We're the same fr
i’ve been religiously watching this show since elementary school. single-handedly the only show i will get excited to watch every time, without fail. in college rn and i’m still not sick of it. criminally underrated and not talked about enough
I rewatch it every 2 years and it never gets old
the ending was perfect too, endings go a long ways for a show

@@abrahamcortina6322so is life. Youll grow up in a blink and just look back like they did
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.
congrats on the marriage :0
@@kiingsomniia thank you!
Literally the exact same. I stopped watching around season 5 & 6. Then i decided to finish it 2 weeks ago. i also cried finishing it
I normally hate when creators make these type of videos and ruin it by the choice of music in the background. But yours are truly amazing. They’re perfectly hand-picked for every aspect and emotion when analyzing any Regular Show episode. Amazing job dude✨
Hey Jay, You know who ELSE loves this show? 😈

bro I legit almsot cried multiple times watching this video. I really sympathize with Rigby and his parents especially. And with finals wrapping up for my first year of college, I look back on what my parents have done for me the bad and mostly the good, and the support they gave me. Just the emotion of thinking about the future and the anxiety of what comes next. all from the idea of regular show. of coarse not just regular show but this video essay entirely.
PS AMAZING MUSIC CHOICES
"I WANT TO GET OFF THE RIDE" the best comment on mordecai's relationships
i have never felt a video have such a good energy and vibes around it before, this is art man
had to sub and like 10 minutes in. this is just amazing
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.
26:35 this is my favourite scene in ANY kids cartoon, bensons meltdown is such a real thing that even children can empathise with him, you can see he is trying to hold back the tears and my god the voice actor got benson tone of voice perfect, no matter how many times I hear the meltdown I can’t help but feel bad for the gumball machine
that scene right there made me really relate to benson (as a child and honestly in my early adult life too) shit made me cry while watching this video fr
My favorite scene ❤
When will u learn that ur actions have consequences??
@@blakefieri3447 consequences that effect other people… like me :(
Yeah that scene made my heart drop when I very first saw it as a kid I was just expecting him to go off on a classic screaming sesh
Regular Show is one of the best shows to show people what it means to be cool. I remember when I was a kid I viewed the word cool in the most stereotypical jockey way, so I viewed characters like Benson as a loser. The more I watched the show, I realized that everyone at the park was pretty awesome, and it taught me how to act around the people in my real life
Fuck man this video really got to me. As a kid, Regular Show was my absolute favorite show growing up. I used to DVR every episode when it aired and would watch them again, again, and again and never get tired of them. I fell off around the middle of Season 5 when I was about 12/13 due to depression and other things, but I did manage to catch the last two seasons when I was in high school and I really enjoyed them. I'm now almost 22 and a struggling disillusioned college student struggling to come to terms with the fact young adult life wasn't anything like what I expected or wanted, and I may just have to revisit this show because I didn't fully realize how much Regular Show embodies just that. Jolly good video.
i feel like things can get better, right now life seems hard for just about everyone but no matter what we live on and we push forward, i feel exactly the same about that disillusionment but that just means we gotta work to make the world how we see fit no? in how ever way we can, things will look up eventually and i hope you at least enjoy today and whatever days you can. thank you for the support
we got all the time in the world, were all 20 something year olds. although i cant believe its been 10 years and were all young adults now, sure we miss the good old days but remember when we wanted to grow up?

Watching the last few minutes really got to me… cause fuck it has been years since I first saw the pilot in 2009…. I WAS 6 WHEN I SAW THE DAMN SHOW.

Dude this video is amazing. Regular show and adventure time was a big part of my young adult life.

The literal moment at the Christmas Party when Mordechai threw it all away, I remember as a teen actually yelling at my screen at this absolute bozo.
But part of it was also just around the time I got my first real breakup and honestly? I kinda understand Mordechai alot more than I did back then.
Great video. It’s a shame Regular Show never got a full series DVD or Blu-ray release, especially considering how they have the Blu-ray box set in the show.
Oh yeah.
ikr? the cover art for the dvd set was sick too.
Only in Australia they have boxsets for every season. Even then, one episode, That's My Television, was missing from it. Ironic, huh?
Excited for the next episode of the presidential podcast🎉😭

Fantastic video man, I found nostalgia in watching this from the randomly picked episodes on Cartoon Network, and seeing an in-depth explanation like this describing what was going on when 6 years ago couldn't understand, it makes me feel emotions I don't understand. It takes a lot to make me cry, but the final sequence almost made me tear up.
Fantastic show, phenomenal editing, and amazing video.
Damn... This video just made me feel like thanos gazing at the sun on his farm at the end of infinity war, beautiful vid man
I connect with Mordecai on such an unexplainable level. I'm in such a similar situation, with my own "Margaret". A person constantly haunting my thoughts like a ghost. It's honestly hard to accept reality sometimes. In my fallible, irrational, human heart, I still desire her. She's not attainable in the way I want, but sometimes what you want isn't what's right. We figured out earlier in our lives that we just don't fit in that way. As hard as that is to accept, sometimes it's what's necessary. I crave her every moment of my day, but even if she were to come to me, offering all I desire, I would like to think I'd still say no. I can't do that to her again. This show hits you in a deep part of yourself. A part you don't want to acknowledge. But it's there. It will always be there. Sometimes, you just need to seek the closure and move on.
Same man, my first love interest hit me in a moment when i really didn't had the maturity or ability to express my feelings and i always got the fear to screw my friendship with her due to that, it already passed 3 years and i still think about her besides i know we really wouldn't fit together well and she isn't really interested in my in that way, it's just hard to let shit back sometimes and you always feel like an image of her pops out in your head from time to time.
thank you for sharing. i am so relieved to know that i’m not the only one who has experienced something like this. someone that haunts you & always grows back like weeds in a garden. i’m still coming to terms with it myself. best wishes to you, i hope we can all move forward one day
Damn bro going through this shit right now that hit me right in the heart fr
That’s honestly how I feel about my crush. It’s hard for me to not dream or think about her, but even so, I always know that even if somehow we ended up together, I still think she deserves someone better. Like yeah it sucks to accept and/or letting go of my first interest, but I always tell myself it’s for the best and to focus on myself for my own sake.
I'm only 17 but I can't help but just love videos like this; long movie-length videos about stuff I love. I feel like absolute crap most days yet whenever I see videos like this it makes me so happy I grew up with stuff like this and people talk about the stuff I love to this day. Amazing video loved the ending!
I feel this too man and I've had so many parallels with different aspects of the show I see and feel traits of Mordicai and Rigby within myself and it just hurts- but in a good way
I guess I’m still not ready to face my demons 😔 I still run...
Same but what’s that have to do with your age?
@@Yamomshouse69nsome people at that age may not entirely relate to the show like someone who's older might, just a lack of experience

Time is kinda different for everyone like that

I'm glad someone else really appreciates the relationship drama in this show! It was my favorite part of rewatching it in college because I felt like I was going through the same shit. This show has many Ws, but the biggest one in my opinion is watching Rigby and Eileen go from putting up with each other to being the show's OTP. Great shit.

I legit have been saving this video for the past few months because I wanted to binge watch the entirety of regular show first, glad i waited because this video was worth it!
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.
Great to hear man
The best part is. When you are older and understand the adult jokes from regular shows it gets funnier than you ever thought as a kid.

48:28 the smell of lavender air freshener sometimes makes me sad because thats a smell I always had in the background while watching new episodes of Regular Show. Even though I can always rewatch the show, that lavender smell reminds me that the show that brought me so much joy isn’t making new episodes
DAWGGG, this was amazing. The editing, the music, the storytelling, it was all great. Keep At It! 10/10
As a kid I never really liked when this show started developing. I stopped keeping up around mid season 6 I believe though I did catch the finale the night it aired and it definitely had me in tears. But as an adult now everything about this show and the way it evolved means a lot to me and I can really relate to a lot of it. Particularly Rigby, I see a lot of myself in him and while I don't think I've even gotten near where his development ended I really hope to see myself there one day. His story is incredibly inspirational. Regular Show means so much to me and this video is a real masterpiece, the big speech about the relatability of it at the end hits stupidly hard and I cant wait to see your future stuff. Keep up the good work.
One of the first video essays ive seen with an Appropriate and meaningfull soundtrack its such an odd detail but it really adds to the video as a whole
Mordecai's monologue about why he cant get with CJ because he still misses Margaret despite knowing shes gone, hits so close to home.
Growing up with this show you enjoy the adventures but rewatching it now you understand the journey. The understand the characters and their lives. Im at university, and its likely I'll never see my ex again, and honestly thats been one of the hardest realisations of my life. But knowing it isn't just me experiencing that pain, it makes it ever so slightly easier. Life is never easy and we will make mistakes. Some people go, others stay, but there'll always be people waiting to meet you one day. The ones who leave may return, but its important to remember to always focus on yourself and those still around you, rather than the what ifs. Thank you Regular Show❤
This might be one of the best video essays I've ever watched. Everything from the music to the message. Perfect across the board.
i come back to this video every time i question my life or run into bumps in the road. this simple retrospective on a show i loved as a kid has helped me so much in my adult life. it reminds me that everyone goes through these things and end up ok. thank you so much for making this.

This was actually an emotional ride. Grew up right along side them. 22 with a daughter now and the show just resonates with me at such a strong level. You described how I feel about the show pretty much perfectly. Glad to see other were impacted by this masterpiece like me
This is the greatest, most home hitting video I’ve ever watched in my life. Dead ass teared up at the end of the video because it felt like I was reliving and still currently living in some parts of my life rn. Although it may not be all the same, I have gone/still through a lot of the emotional damage Mordecai overcame, but this video put everything into perspective in the best way for me. Thank you for this masterpiece
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.

Hehe I can't believe we used to do that.
Beautifully put man
To add to this wonderful perspective, I think Rigby’s graduation speech echoes a similar sentiment to what you’re saying here
You created a masterpiece of a video bro, haven’t been so entertained by content in a while, loved all the different levels of effort into this, great voiceover and editing, thanks for the experience bro🔥🙏🏽
im so sorry this ended up needing to be reuploaded. watched the whole thing last time, commenting now for interaction. great stuff
thank you, it means a lot that you'd take the time to do that for me
that first 2 minutes is literally what i’m going thru at the moment, and ofc i know i’m not the only one dealing with mundanity and having thoughts of “is this even worth it?” it’s still reassuring and makes me feel a bit more comfortable hearing someone voice my internal monologue/stuff i tell to my mom and she just says “tough shit that’s life”
(btw i love my mom and she’s not wrong that’s rly just how life is and it’s hard to cope with and nearly impossible to escape from but i believe it’s possible thru pursuing ur passions and what u love)
Same its nice to know that I'm not alone 💗
Regular show is actually the reason for my artis name😂😂 if anyone is looking for new music check mine out it’s on my profile, I’m tryna build a fanbase as a young artist. My best performing song is pound.
Regular Show was the pinnocle of my childhood, and many others. Truthfully, no matter what perspective you're watching the show from, there's always something to laugh about and relate to. I cannot think of an experience nearly as abstractly unique as the golden age that was Regular Show and Adventure Time. You don't get to see realism and fiction being so seemlessly intertwined like you did in these bold renditions of a "children's show." This quite literally is the definition of an ageless classic.
This video is perfect! The editing, the pacing, the music choice, everything... Truly a masterpiece!
I love this video so much. I’ve watched it a few times and each time I find it so fascinating, I love hearing what you have to say about it. I have such a deep-rooted connection to regular show, and that connection deepens each time I watch this video. I feel like Regular show is only talked about or viewed on such a shallow level because it’s so absurd. It’s so easy to miss the deeper meaning. Regular show has always been such a comfort show for me, but it becomes comforting on a completely different level whenever you view it from an adult perspective. As you said, the trials and hardships of navigating adult life isn’t really talked about in shows like this, not just because it’s a kids show. It makes you feel seen. It’s a goofy, funny, ridiculous show, but it’s so much more than that. Thanks again man 🤝
i rewatched this show in its entirety during the depths of the pandemic lockdown. it was my senior year of high school and i was going through a lot. but as cheesy as it sounds, this show really got me through those tough times. loved it as a kid when it first came out and i still love it now. they just don’t make cartoons like they used to.
Holy shit I just finished my last day of high school and this just described most of my feelings and things I’m going through didn’t think I would get this from a damn regular show video
How’s it going six months out bro?
Its a weird feeling graduation i graduated a year ago and even though a lot of good and bad has happened it still feels like something is missing and just feels aimless but you just gotta keep on moving on
8 months in are things going good?
No way I cried over a regular show video brilliant work dude
the music choices for this are crazy good
This whole retrospective was beautiful and I like the music choice throughout it😁👍
The whole bit about moving on, whether it be of a person or a place really hit home. I didn’t expect to cry watching this. I loved Regular Show so much for the same reasons you do. I recently watched through all of it and it’s my favorite cartoon (that’s not anime) of all time 💜
Man, I remember watching this vid half way through and stopping to continue watching it the next day, but it was gone. Hope this doesn't get taken down again, YT copyright abuse is total BS.
thank you for coming back and yea, yt can be a hassle but we back!
Yes dude, please keep this up or don’t give up on posting up it, such a good video and retrospective. Appreciate all the work you put in man and hope to see more from you. Hope you’re taking care of yourself too, know this TH-cam shit must be stressful
This might be my favorite video on youtube. Not only is it a deep dive into one of my favorite shows of all time, but it also has some of the best music choices throughout it that I have ever heard. Well done and well made.
dude i’ve watched this video so so many times i can’t get over how perfect this is. it just makes two hours evaporate so quickly this video is phenomenal.
Bro the conclusion almost had me crying, I loved this couldn’t have asked for a better video about regular show
I feel relatively young among most of the people who know this show, but when i was really young, like ~5, i first saw this show when my dad and brother were watching it together and a few years later i decided to rewatch/watch it all. I was probably 10-11 when i did that and I forgot about so much until now. I’m glad i watched this video because it reminded me of how good this show was.
Maaaaan…. I moved aimlessly through my 20s and I’m now into my 40s and the feeling is never gone away.
i'm playing this video in the background and i just wanna say you are one of the funniest people I've seen making niche content like this and the songs you add in your videos are such a treat, when I heard elliott smith thats when I decided to write my comment 😭 PLEASE KEEP MAKING VIDEOS DUDE they are so good
Okay, ngl, this video was a masterpiece. I did not expect to sit through the whole thing or even shed tears at how raw and true this is, or what Regular Show meant to me as a kid and even now as a 20 something year old. Wow, I'm floored and I thank you for making this.
jay, i say this with absolutely no doubt in my mind, this is now my favorite video on this website. as a 21 year old in college and working a shitty job i hate, i've never resonated more with a video. the ending of this video when you spoke about first loves and growing up and moving on genuinely brought me to tears. i am so grateful this video exists, this whole experience was fantastic. thank you so much for making me feel something again
Also because of this vid my bf and I started a regular show rewatch and it’s making us so happy ty
well hope you two enjoy it! and thank you for all the support
AMAZING vid. i’m so happy someone broke down my show and explained every single reason why this is my favorite show of all time. i’ve been in so many different situations like mordecai as i’ve gotten older and i figured what not to do based off seeing this stuff in my favorite show. so many very similar moments. not getting the girl you want, feeling depressed, feeling lost, having a best friend who flows so well with you bc he’s the opposite, this show was so real and i appreciated every moment when the show had its very real moments. this show really helped me grow up honestly
genuinely i would support the patreon if i had money rn, i absolutely love hearing jpegmafia in these, it makes them feel so much more real
I don’t know how I’m seeing this so late but this is my favorite video I’ve seen in years. Thanks Jay you’re my hero
This video is fucking incredibly well made. I aspire to have an editing style this good.
I’m almost 18 and yet I remember watching this when I was little and I’m sitting here at 11 at night realizing just how much I relate to these characters now as I get older and more mature and honestly closer to being an adult it just hits me how much this show really gets how it feels to be in your early years trying to figure out life. I’m still pretty early on but all this stuff is hitting me like a truck and so it is amazing to see a show about a blue jay and a raccoon get the struggle of finding yourself so right and the different perspectives it brings

This speaks to me because of all the friends I’ve made, and the memories I’ve made with them, showing that anyone can make a good memory if they are a great friend, or a shitty person lol. Great video, everyone talked about this show when we were young and now while we’re old. I just graduated high school, and this is a heavily relatable show and a heavily relatable video, and you did a great job recapping all of this show in its grungey entirety. Thanks man.
Honestly one of the best video essays I’ve ever seen. I’d totally rock this at the function. 100/10 work bro, I‘ve subbed and I’m gonna watch all your other content
This video made me very emotional at multiple points. You made a great video covering a masterpiece of a show.
It’s incredible to me how well this show mixed absolute insanity with realistic problems and realistic people. It was always the perfect brainworm to me. You did an amazing job of putting some my feelings on it into words. Thank you for doing it justice.
That was the best Regular Show retrospective out there, great job, thank you
injury reverse being in a regular show essay is the highest form of art i've ever seen
Mordecais little monologue hits me hard every time I hear it. I have the best significant other, a daughter who brightens my life and a family that actually cares and loves me. But sometimes I just want to go back in time to a part of my life where all I did was rot in my bed with no job or responsibilities,however I find my current life amazing because despite the stress I made it here to my highest point and I’m only going higher even if the universe tries to keep me down.
I can rarely sit down and focus on one thing so constantly and this video is so well made I didn't click off once. Regular show was and still is one of my favorite shows I have watched, this video made me see how besides the demons and fulfilling prophecy the show is just about people trying to enjoy life the best they can.
