I really wish I had a boss like Benson. He's very reasonable, he's cool as long as you do your job and he gives his employees plenty(maybe too many) chances to improve. If I was Rigby and I pulled that shit, I'd be on my knees, begging him not to fire me.
I swear Benson was genuinely a really nice dude for how much slack he gave Rigby(and mordecai to a lesser extent) when he would've been fired in, like...every episode in the real world
Theres like a couple times when benson was a little bit unreasonable. But for the most part hes a great boss who honestly doesn't ask a lot out of them, gives them a room in the park house and has given them way too many chances honestly
Who would replace them? People are not lining up for that job. In fact there was an episode where Benson tried to replace them with better employees but they didn't want the job.
It's crazy how one minute they're just doing an everyday mundane task together as best friends and then the next minute they somehow end up almost wiping out half of the universe
The regular show movie did a great job at giving rigby some character development, and it wasnt even canon which sucked. But it forced him to face a literal future version of himself who never learned from his mistakes and ended up losing mordecai, and he had to confront his hypocritical nature and learn to take accountability for his actions, which was a really great story

Rigby is actually intelligent but his family praise Don over him, no matter what he does, Don is praised. ( we could imply he act out to just get his father's attention) so Rigby stops trying and became The slacker his father said he was... until Eileen loves him for who he was, for once he didn't need to prove to his parent, friends, or boss just being himself. regardless of his flaws, Eileen was still there. that act of pure love inspires him to be better, and not let his father's words dictate his life. Rigby is loved because despite his flaws he did not let family rules his life. People in America love characters who build themselves up
what? Mordecai was with him all the way through. Benson, Mordecai and the others (to a lesser extent) have always been hyping him if he ever does the right thing. They still loved him way before Eileen came in. Sure you can say that he changed for her but it would have more sense if he actually changed for the park friends who literally inspired him. But hey it is what the writers want. But saying that Rigby is intelligent is an outright lie. Sure he changed but that didn't. Rigby's bringing up doesn't excuse or justify most of his behavior throughout the show. I mean literally hid Mordecai's acceptance letter. WHat does that tell you?
00:04:10 So basically, Mordecai would be in OK terms with Benson if he wasn't constantly going along with Rigby's ideas. Kinda like Double D and Ed would be in OK terms with the other kids if they weren't constantly going along with Eddy's ideas.
Now when I was a kid I thought Benson was so mean but now that I'm 20 I completely understand him. I would probably go to jail for assault if I had to deal with people like Mordecai and Rigby on a daily basis. Especially Rigby. At least Mordecai tried to do his job. Benson is also a really reasonable person and I don't believe he has anger issues because a lot of the time his anger is completely justified. I be mad too if I told someone to do the most simplest and mundane task on earth and they still manage to mess it up. I also remember being annoyed at Rigby not wanting to set up the chairs. I wish I was getting paid for something like that. Just give me 2-3 minutes and those chairs would be done and my wallet will be filled
While Benson's anger was MOST of the time justified, his outbursts can sometimes fly way over the top, and sometimes he finds reasons to blow up when he's not entirely justified. So he still has anger issues.
I use to have anger issues a lot when I was a kid. I was able to hide it well, but sometimes the world would get on my nerves endlessly to the point where I want the earth to blow up.

Why of course we remember how much of a jerky bum Rigby, that's the first thing we think about when we think of Rigby. That's what makes his whole character development arc so heart warming. Dude actively tries changing, and I've never been so proud of a fictional character as much as him, I think
That's why his development always pleased me so much, like the bro got his shit together and became a respectable man It took him a while but he was finally able to grow up
Honestly I think alot of the later seasons did alot to show mordecai is just as much of a fuck up as Rigby, just in different ways. They both had a lot of growing up to do and I appreciate that the show made it clear that neither of the 2 was much better than the other
I completely agree. Yes rigby was super irresponsible but I feel like a lot of people ignore the fact that mordecai isn’t exactly much better than Rigby as mordo’s struggles with doing anything more than required. Mordecai gives up easily on things he wants, he didn’t try to maintain a long distance relationship with Margaret even though I think he wanted too, he didn’t try to finish art school after getting “rejected” from college U (couldn’t he just transfer or try community college?). I mean he can get by with doing the bare minimal unlike rigby but ultimately he prevents himself from truly living a happy life because he’s not willing to fight for his future.
Mordecai was a bare minimum type worker who did just enough work to skate by. And I think a lot of people can identify with that, at least at one point in their life. Rigby takes it up a notch, to quite frankly being a menace and a manchild, really the worst of the worst of society (with the exception of criminals and stuff like that) so it’s harder to identify with that. Most people at least TRY a little bit. Anyways that why I like mordecai better, it’s easier to picture yourself in his shoes. But the way Rigby acts really makes the show what it is, so he has his place.
All because of Mordecai's drama, it was easy to constantly praise Rigby for not getting into that situation. I won't deny he had good character development, but I also won't deny that I honestly hated Rigby and Muscle Man in the earlier seasons
Agreed. I believe that there were more meta reasons for this. While many can agree that Rigby's positive changes in the series were a beautiful metaphor of people changing for the better at their lowest more people believe the inconsistent change in attitude and demeanor for Mordecai was due to something going horribly wrong in the writing room. It has always seemed that the writing staff needed the "bad friend" guy but when they tried to improve Rigby they suddenly remembered the ABSOLUTELY HEINOUS stuff he pulled earlier in the series and then had to sabotage Mordecai's development so that the audience would forget about Rigby's past actions. This is evident with how odd Mordecai acts whenever the writers need to make a big show of how great Rigby is becoming. They could have kept the positive progression for both characters consistent and steady but they didn't because they needed a character foil/contrast to get Rigby's head on straight. If you want to truly appreciate the good of Rigby and the bad of Mordecai you're going to have to acknowledge the bad of Rigby and the good of Mordecai. Otherwise, you are doing the characters and yourself a disservice.
Thank you, it just feels nowadays that everyone is so scared to say something bad about rigby, they forget the many horrible and shitty stuff he did, and just put the whole blame on mordecai Both of them did shitty stuff, and both of them should be treated harshly for it, not only mordecai, it just feels that most people speaking about RS nowadays never watched any episodes and only watched through "mordecai simp"videos, so that's their only idea about the show Rigby does get better and did better for himself at the end, which is def very good, but that doesn't mean, we should completely forget everything he did
I wouldn't say that nowadays everyone is scared to say something bad about rigby; forgetting his crimes he committed, and majority putting the blame on Mordecai. For the most since the rise of calling out Simp culture, Mordecai been underfire for it, and everybody blame him as worse since. But I wouldn't say people forgot about Rigby, cause for what I seen people dislike Rigby just as much; listing his crimes for what I seen. But I do say people argue Mordecai is the worser friend even tho pre to post change. Rigby still is by long a shot.
@xboxone1543 bro ruined Mordecai chances to college and a good financial future like Rigby brother and that hit home to me since my mom would always keep me away from such friends since they would ruin your life
Bro I would’ve been fuckin’ PISSED…TIGHT…LIVID in Mordecai’s place if I found out that Rigby did that bullshit. This dude had a different path for his future unlocked, and it got fucked up and locked ALL because RIGBY was being a solipsistic, immature, inconsiderate and insecure FUCKHEAD. This man was fine with dragging his friend down into mediocrity with him if it meant they stayed together as HE wanted. I’ve seen people say that Mordecai was a shitty or poor friend, but RIGBY’s actions…were that of a sorry EXCUSE for a “friend”.
@@pauletmcneill7538listen to yourself. Imagine if somebody made that stupid excuse in real life, do you think their best friend will run into their arms and forgive him? That’s actually stupid 😂
the veryfact that these people couldn't even feel the slighest bit for rigby even after he almost became the victim of an identity theft says a lot about how truly insufferable he is
Rigby WAS a bum, same as how Mordecai WAS a simp. But the internet tends to hop on Mordecai's case all the time and completely ignore his arc. In order to praise Rigby.
The reason people often only praise rigby so much is because everyone pretty much knew rigby was the worst person in the park, there’s no need to point it out as it’s very obvious what’s his flaws were. Still cool vid
I'm so happy to see the Rigby disrespect after the internet's recent obsession with "Simps" "Rizz" was gassing him up too much. I'll never forgive Rigby for ripping up Mordecai's acceptance letter, literally throwing away years of Mordecai's hard work and forever altering his life's path purely because he wanted a friend to be a failure with him. Hate that guy
I'm glad that people appreciate Rigby's growth as person, but get a bit annoyed when they say he wasn't THAT bad before he improved. He waged the lives of his friends for a fucking bowling ball without telling them. And he's done shit like that multiple times.
My only issue with this video was talking down the job of a park groundskeeper. It's real work, and it is also important work. Groundskeepers, Janitors, and Sanitation workers do these jobs to honestly make society pleasant to live in. And though it might not look like it on the surface, especially in a cartoon, groundskeeping is hard, honest work. That said, Rigby's ploy to manipulate Doug was terrible. He definitely did start as a lazy manbaby. But I do agree with the notion that that is why seeing his arc grow him into a more responsible guy that actually had ambitions to better himself was awesome.
Rigby is probably one of the best examples of a bum who succeeded in improving himself. Wasn't there even an episode where Mordecai felt threatened by Rigby's self improvement that he tried to sabotage his success?
Yeah Mordecai would just be a fairly competent regular dude doing his job if it wasn’t for Rigby making him be an idiot with him and this is shown by the fact that Benson either yells at both of them or only Rigby but never just Mordecai.
You seem to forget that people like Mordecai like to cut loose too but need a catalyst with Rigby being just that, plenty of examples in earlier and later episodes.Besides,the way I see it is that in terms of work and overall Benson always saw Mordecai as more mature and responsible albeit a slacker etc and always addressed him and admonished rigby.Good example is the best burgers in the world episode
Rigby never sucked. Go search up Rigby season 1-3 compilation video, and you'll see that it has a lot of likes. If Rigby was a bad character, why did the early season of Regular Show received higher ratings than the newer seasons?
@@IIIII... Rigby isn't a bad character, he's a bad person. The two aren't mutually exclusive. You can still like a character that is a shitty person to the people in the story they reside in. He's probably one of the funniest characters in the show.
I’m glad someone pointed this out because I always see people hate on Mordecai for some minor things (some justified) sometimes when if you had Rigby as a friend your life would probably be fun but miserable
You obviously seem to forget that alot of the time Mordecai just wanted to act and be cool because of his own insecurities as a child and his mother comforting him afterwards.Rigby's made more sense what with Don and him wanting to prove them wrong and making something of himself and intentionally making trouble for himself,heck he even mentions it in the breakfast club episode
@@ishmaeelchilila4663 What about some justified do you not understand plus you would be dead with either as a friend I’m not picking sides it’s just Rigby isn’t anywhere as scrutinized
Thank you! Like my god, it gets annoying when everyone is singing Rigby's praises when he was the reason from Seasons 1-6/7 that caused all the problems.
Mordecai and Rigby were not fired, because their job is extremely high turnover. In their economy, it is difficult to find people willing to work for the wages being offered for grounds keeping work. Also, Benson pays them similar to a sales job. You get paid for making sales/completing specific tasks, and don't get paid when you don't get it done. The coffee concert tickets episode is proof of that. This allows a significant level of flexibility. The key thing is that they pushed their way through, got better overtime, and won the team's hearts. Mordecai and Rigby were not fretting about the low pay as much because all their bills were being paid for automatically, except for some food and cleaning supply expenses, and income taxes of course, which was removed from their pay automatically. It was their infamy and work experience after the space adventure, that made it a lot easier for them to land good paying jobs, grow up, and raise a family successfully.
Mordecai is a noble coward, who will act courageously when necessary because he cares for the good but usually sits too much in his doubts. Rigby is a raucous child who acts impulsively and without thinking through the consequences
Thank you, I think the real reason why Benson hasn't fired both their a****** is because despite how lazy irresponsible day are they always find some kind of crazy way to turn things around and also seems like trouble always comes to their way Mordanci and Rigby seems like the only two people that know the how the stop it besides skips. And I'm pretty sure he's paying them a lot less and all the damages are coming most definitely out their checks. As much as I like to see Benson get his lick back at Rigby for all he's putting him through this episode I would not count cuz rigby's laziness did come in handy. 😅
You can't blame Rigby for having the slacker attitude after his own parents values his younger brother more than him despite trying hard himself. Yes Rigby was a jerk and done some horrible things like forging a fake rejection letter for Mordecai after receiving his own rejection letter but after meeting Eileen he cleaned up his act by finishing school and becoming a bit more responsible.
I subscribed at 6.38k subscribers. I hope you're big in the future so I can claim I was here since early lmao. The content is pretty nice too. That Benson vid really gave me perspective.
At times I wonder if Rigby had an undiagnosed learning disability or ADHD because he shared the same symptoms that I had until I was diagnosed when I was 26 years old. I could feel his frustration that he went through while growing up but once I got the diagnosis my life changed for the better. I applied for college as a part time student, I was given the right accommodation so I could understand the information that was given to me eventually getting my degree in 2022. As with Rigby all you need is for someone to believe in you and show you the right way to get there.
And don't forget that he put modedai's future in jeopardy because he couldn't get to college and mordecai did. He seriously makes it difficult to like him in the earlier seasons
Glad I wasn’t the only one thinking like you are. I started rewatching regular show again and I don’t really like Mordecai and rigby as much as I used to as a kid especially rigby and temp check was a great example rigby was just pissing me off the whole time. I’m glad he got that redemption arc Great video man
And what about that one wall episode when rigby side of the room is a mess and benson tell them to clean it but Mordecai doesn’t want to do it cuz it’s rugby’s mess and then he buys a moving wall and pushes his mess onto mordicais side and he did it just because Mordicai didn’t side with him when benson was confronting them and mordicai actually apologized for not taking his side 😑🤦🏾♂️
None of the *"sympathetic"* Rigby episodes pre S7 really work cause not only was he really horrible, but the reasons for him *"acting that way"* are for the lack of a better word: asinine
he may changed his ways in the regular show finale it will be outshined by putting both himself and mordecai(rarely the other park workers) in trouble due to his laziness, lying, selfishness, slander, framing-up others (esp. mordecai), blaming, stupidity, denial and more when in trouble he wanted mordecai(rarely the other park workers) to be in trouble too that's because he's friends with mordecai(rarely the other park workers) when the time the others were innocent or having a good time ,what a scumbag, I truly hate that raccoon
Bro THANK YOU so much making this video. People have been slandering Mordecai for about 3 years now. Yes he's terrible with relationships, yes he killed his best friend, but doesn't weigh out HALF the shit that Rigby has done in the earlier seasons.
Yes, because even when majority of the time when Rigby just wanted to chill with his bro that it end up in those situations and where people dying is normal it's fine for Rigby to get killed by Mordecai.Bruh wake up, Mordecai was an asshole about it but at least Rigby is man enough about his intentions to Mordecai get real
@@ishmaeelchilila4663 Rigby shoved Mordecai first, he almost slipped and had to catch himself. Of course he would get mad and shove back, and he regretted it immediately. When Rigby tried to murder Mordecai, he tried again and again and wasn't satisfied until he got what he wanted. Mordecai even warned him ahead of time that a pool of lava was forming around them, and Rigby didn't care.
@@M4x_P0w3rOn that same episode, he also enslaved the rest of the workers and destroyed the park intentionally. And on another, he was willing to let Skips die over a chocolate cake.
Good f*cking video, I’m glad someone finally addressed rigby’s asinine behavior and d*ck-headedness. I was hoping you would address the whole “Mordecai killed rigby” argument but no worries.
I would say a good way to sum up Rigby early on in his park tenure is that he was a lazy, entitled and immature DICKHEAD with ego issues and perspective issues as well.
This video is literally a TH-cam comment of mine I left in the replies of Rigby praise video, except I still hate Rigby. One thing you did, is that you put into perspective how easy his job is, and I think that paints the picture a lot better than I did as simple of a fact as it is.
Huh. I clicked on this video and it's already liked. I don't remember being here before. Good video, nonetheless. Rigby deserved this takedown like he deserved Super Saiyan Benson
Rigby's rise to being the opposite of what he was, was pretty satisfying, while we saw mordecai becoming lesser of what he once was, and just being a non-stop simp anytime Margaret was around him or was talking to him, he killed rigby over her because he made a point.
I used to feel like Rigby was Beavis and Mordecai was Butt-Head. But now, I've realized that they were both Butt-Head.
Yup. Then again, Rigby is the Beavis cause HE SCORED!

It has always seemed that the writing staff needed the "bad friend" guy but when they tried to improve Rigby they suddenly remembered the ABSOLUTELY HEINOUS stuff he pulled earlier in the series and then had to sabotage Mordecai's development so that the audience would forget about Rigby's past actions. This is evident with how odd Mordecai acts whenever the writers need to make a big show of how great Rigby is becoming. They could have kept the positive progression for both characters consistent and steady but they didn't because they needed a character foil/contrast to get Rigby's head on straight. If you want to truly appreciate the good of Rigby and the bad of Mordecai you're going to have to acknowledge the bad of Rigby and the good of Mordecai. Otherwise, you are doing the characters and yourself a disservice.
Agreed. We overlook so many of Rigby’s flaws just because Mordecai is a simp. But why hate on Muscle Man? He was cool
@@rickyronny4019all his pranks were aimed at Mordecai and Rigby
Thank you, it just feels nowadays that everyone is so scared to say something bad about rigby, they forget the many horrible and shitty stuff he did, and just put the whole blame on mordecai
Both of them did shitty stuff, and both of them should be treated harshly for it, not only mordecai, it just feels that most people speaking about RS nowadays never watched any episodes and only watched through "mordecai simp"videos, so that's their only idea about the show
Rigby does get better and did better for himself at the end, which is def very good, but that doesn't mean, we should completely forget everything he did
Well said, friend.
I wouldn't say that nowadays everyone is scared to say something bad about rigby; forgetting his crimes he committed, and majority putting the blame on Mordecai. For the most since the rise of calling out Simp culture, Mordecai been underfire for it, and everybody blame him as worse since.
But I wouldn't say people forgot about Rigby, cause for what I seen people dislike Rigby just as much; listing his crimes for what I seen. But I do say people argue Mordecai is the worser friend even tho pre to post change. Rigby still is by long a shot.
@xboxone1543 How is he any better when he bet his friends lives for a ball
@xboxone1543 rigby was literally gonna kill mordecai in death punchies
@xboxone1543 bro ruined Mordecai chances to college and a good financial future like Rigby brother and that hit home to me since my mom would always keep me away from such friends since they would ruin your life
Let's not forget that one episode where Rigby tried to kill Mordecai over being player 1 in a video game.
Rigby messed over Mordecai from the jump when he tossed bro's college letter lmao
Bro I would’ve been fuckin’ PISSED…TIGHT…LIVID in Mordecai’s place if I found out that Rigby did that bullshit.
This dude had a different path for his future unlocked, and it got fucked up and locked ALL because RIGBY was being a solipsistic, immature, inconsiderate and insecure FUCKHEAD. This man was fine with dragging his friend down into mediocrity with him if it meant they stayed together as HE wanted. I’ve seen people say that Mordecai was a shitty or poor friend, but RIGBY’s actions…were that of a sorry EXCUSE for a “friend”.
No he didn't what he did was wrong but all wanted was to be with his friend
@@pauletmcneill7538listen to yourself. Imagine if somebody made that stupid excuse in real life, do you think their best friend will run into their arms and forgive him? That’s actually stupid 😂
the veryfact that these people couldn't even feel the slighest bit for rigby even after he almost became the victim of an identity theft says a lot about how truly insufferable he is
Rigby WAS a bum, same as how Mordecai WAS a simp. But the internet tends to hop on Mordecai's case all the time and completely ignore his arc. In order to praise Rigby.
Exactly
Rigby is a funny character but he cause a lot of trouble than mordecai him and mordecai are the best characters
Rigby was the main Villain of a bunch of episodes.
Doctor: "Vertically Rigby doesn't exist, he can't hurt you"
*Vertical Rigby:*
I don’t get it 🤔
The reason people often only praise rigby so much is because everyone pretty much knew rigby was the worst person in the park, there’s no need to point it out as it’s very obvious what’s his flaws were. Still cool vid
congrats dude!!! binge listening to all your vids rn at the gym 😌
I'm so happy to see the Rigby disrespect after the internet's recent obsession with "Simps" "Rizz" was gassing him up too much. I'll never forgive Rigby for ripping up Mordecai's acceptance letter, literally throwing away years of Mordecai's hard work and forever altering his life's path purely because he wanted a friend to be a failure with him. Hate that guy
I've noticed people saying more recently that the simp memes went to far
Saying rigby is a lazy bum is like saying grass grows
Sitting down angle Rigby is cursed like my god his eyes are protruding from the side of his head
I'm glad that people appreciate Rigby's growth as person, but get a bit annoyed when they say he wasn't THAT bad before he improved. He waged the lives of his friends for a fucking bowling ball without telling them. And he's done shit like that multiple times.
I heard that this motherfucker threw away Mordecai’s college acceptance letter because he wanted them to stay together after HE got rejected😭
also don’t forget the hot dog episode. another episode where rigby almost get’s mordecai killed
My only issue with this video was talking down the job of a park groundskeeper. It's real work, and it is also important work. Groundskeepers, Janitors, and Sanitation workers do these jobs to honestly make society pleasant to live in. And though it might not look like it on the surface, especially in a cartoon, groundskeeping is hard, honest work.
That said, Rigby's ploy to manipulate Doug was terrible. He definitely did start as a lazy manbaby. But I do agree with the notion that that is why seeing his arc grow him into a more responsible guy that actually had ambitions to better himself was awesome.
Rigby is probably one of the best examples of a bum who succeeded in improving himself. Wasn't there even an episode where Mordecai felt threatened by Rigby's self improvement that he tried to sabotage his success?
Tbf Rigby also did that to Mordecai by faking his college rejection letter
he didn’t “sabotage” anything 😭 all he did was not involve himself in the celebration
@maingwuezz I did see the episode since then, so I now know.
Yeah Mordecai would just be a fairly competent regular dude doing his job if it wasn’t for Rigby making him be an idiot with him and this is shown by the fact that Benson either yells at both of them or only Rigby but never just Mordecai.
You seem to forget that people like Mordecai like to cut loose too but need a catalyst with Rigby being just that, plenty of examples in earlier and later episodes.Besides,the way I see it is that in terms of work and overall Benson always saw Mordecai as more mature and responsible albeit a slacker etc and always addressed him and admonished rigby.Good example is the best burgers in the world episode
Facts. Even Benson told Mordecai that Rigby does nothing but get him into trouble 😂
Bro the episode “wall buddy” is a good example
underrated channel
yea rigby sucked that’s the point and why his character development was so good
Bro was still an annoying bum tho for the rest of the seasons lol
@Sluglife donb cap
Rigby never sucked. Go search up Rigby season 1-3 compilation video, and you'll see that it has a lot of likes. If Rigby was a bad character, why did the early season of Regular Show received higher ratings than the newer seasons?
@@IIIII... Rigby isn't a bad character, he's a bad person. The two aren't mutually exclusive. You can still like a character that is a shitty person to the people in the story they reside in. He's probably one of the funniest characters in the show.
@@IIIII...Rigby was a terrible person but a fun one to watch.
There's plenty of shows with terrible people as main characters but they're great!
I’m glad someone pointed this out because I always see people hate on Mordecai for some minor things (some justified) sometimes when if you had Rigby as a friend your life would probably be fun but miserable
You obviously seem to forget that alot of the time Mordecai just wanted to act and be cool because of his own insecurities as a child and his mother comforting him afterwards.Rigby's made more sense what with Don and him wanting to prove them wrong and making something of himself and intentionally making trouble for himself,heck he even mentions it in the breakfast club episode
Besides a lot of those miserable times resulted from the fact that he just wanted to chill with his bro who couldn't give a damn because simp
@@ishmaeelchilila4663 What about some justified do you not understand plus you would be dead with either as a friend I’m not picking sides it’s just Rigby isn’t anywhere as scrutinized
@@joy4themightydonutchainsaw620Rigby didn’t publicly shame and break up with his girlfriend IN HIS OWN FRIENDS WEDDING
@@juliomenendez9458 “Some Justified”
Thank you! Like my god, it gets annoying when everyone is singing Rigby's praises when he was the reason from Seasons 1-6/7 that caused all the problems.
*”BUT YOU WOULD KNOW A JOB WELL-DONE IF YOU PAID SOMEONE TO DO IT FOR YOU!”* - Benson (Think Positive)
Start a lazy bum chain
nah
@@imselfaware419 ok 😔
@@DarkSuperSaiyan ask black people
rigby turned from a lazy slob to a high school graduate. clap it up for him.
Benson is the most generous boss that’s why he didn’t fire him
Mordecai and Rigby were not fired, because their job is extremely high turnover. In their economy, it is difficult to find people willing to work for the wages being offered for grounds keeping work. Also, Benson pays them similar to a sales job. You get paid for making sales/completing specific tasks, and don't get paid when you don't get it done. The coffee concert tickets episode is proof of that.
This allows a significant level of flexibility. The key thing is that they pushed their way through, got better overtime, and won the team's hearts. Mordecai and Rigby were not fretting about the low pay as much because all their bills were being paid for automatically, except for some food and cleaning supply expenses, and income taxes of course, which was removed from their pay automatically.
It was their infamy and work experience after the space adventure, that made it a lot easier for them to land good paying jobs, grow up, and raise a family successfully.
Mordecai is a noble coward, who will act courageously when necessary because he cares for the good but usually sits too much in his doubts. Rigby is a raucous child who acts impulsively and without thinking through the consequences
Thank you, I think the real reason why Benson hasn't fired both their a****** is because despite how lazy irresponsible day are they always find some kind of crazy way to turn things around and also seems like trouble always comes to their way Mordanci and Rigby seems like the only two people that know the how the stop it besides skips. And I'm pretty sure he's paying them a lot less and all the damages are coming most definitely out their checks. As much as I like to see Benson get his lick back at Rigby for all he's putting him through this episode I would not count cuz rigby's laziness did come in handy. 😅
Yeah…his laziness managed to get a dangerous identity thief arrested. And other dudes have come in clutch when trouble comes Mordecai and Rigby’s way.
You can't blame Rigby for having the slacker attitude after his own parents values his younger brother more than him despite trying hard himself. Yes Rigby was a jerk and done some horrible things like forging a fake rejection letter for Mordecai after receiving his own rejection letter but after meeting Eileen he cleaned up his act by finishing school and becoming a bit more responsible.
Uh, Eileen has been in the show since the beginning.
The best example of rigby being trash to me is when he wouldnt even clean all the trash that he left in their room
2 ways a near death event happens:
1.Rigby being rigby
2.Mordecai simping for a girl
What about the movie? When rigby sabotaged mordecai’s college application, that’s what led to them even working in the park
The stereotypical video essay background sound
I love that Dug voice actor is Roger Craig Smith.
Yeah Rigby just seemed to make a mess of things constantly
Margaret is the St. Louie Cardinals and Mordecai is the Toronto Blue Jays
I subscribed at 6.38k subscribers. I hope you're big in the future so I can claim I was here since early lmao. The content is pretty nice too. That Benson vid really gave me perspective.
At times I wonder if Rigby had an undiagnosed learning disability or ADHD because he shared the same symptoms that I had until I was diagnosed when I was 26 years old. I could feel his frustration that he went through while growing up but once I got the diagnosis my life changed for the better. I applied for college as a part time student, I was given the right accommodation so I could understand the information that was given to me eventually getting my degree in 2022. As with Rigby all you need is for someone to believe in you and show you the right way to get there.
And don't forget that he put modedai's future in jeopardy because he couldn't get to college and mordecai did. He seriously makes it difficult to like him in the earlier seasons
Yeah as much as I love rigby, the fandom can kinda forget his flaws and is on mordecai's head alot
3:50 that identity theft sentence was so funny bro 💀 got me dying at 4 in the morning
Glad I wasn’t the only one thinking like you are. I started rewatching regular show again and I don’t really like Mordecai and rigby as much as I used to as a kid especially rigby and temp check was a great example rigby was just pissing me off the whole time. I’m glad he got that redemption arc
Great video man
And what about that one wall episode when rigby side of the room is a mess and benson tell them to clean it but Mordecai doesn’t want to do it cuz it’s rugby’s mess and then he buys a moving wall and pushes his mess onto mordicais side and he did it just because Mordicai didn’t side with him when benson was confronting them and mordicai actually apologized for not taking his side 😑🤦🏾♂️
Rigby is always getting himself and mordecai in trouble
I love regular show and god I love to see some deep dives on this show details
Rigby is a good friend on regular show
I feel the same way. People need to be reminded about how bad Rigby was.
I never understood why everyone loved Rigby more. If I had to choose between a fuck up, or a simp as a friend. I Definitely choose a simp. 🤫
A fuck up😭 shit is WILD, bruh. Mordecai is a HELLA simp, though. He just did NOT know how to let go or improve.
Irene was carrying that relationship.
None of the *"sympathetic"* Rigby episodes pre S7 really work cause not only was he really horrible, but the reasons for him *"acting that way"* are for the lack of a better word: asinine
It actually use to infuriate me how much of a bum Rigby was, especially when Mordecai was actually doing the work. Make more cartoon content bro.
he may changed his ways in the regular show finale it will be outshined by putting both himself and mordecai(rarely the other park workers) in trouble due to his laziness, lying, selfishness, slander, framing-up others (esp. mordecai), blaming, stupidity, denial and more
when in trouble he wanted mordecai(rarely the other park workers) to be in trouble too that's because he's friends with mordecai(rarely the other park workers) when the time the others were innocent or having a good time ,what a scumbag, I truly hate that raccoon
Dang....now i understand benson
Bro THANK YOU so much making this video. People have been slandering Mordecai for about 3 years now. Yes he's terrible with relationships, yes he killed his best friend, but doesn't weigh out HALF the shit that Rigby has done in the earlier seasons.
Yes, because even when majority of the time when Rigby just wanted to chill with his bro that it end up in those situations and where people dying is normal it's fine for Rigby to get killed by Mordecai.Bruh wake up, Mordecai was an asshole about it but at least Rigby is man enough about his intentions to Mordecai get real
@@ishmaeelchilila4663 Rigby literally tried to murder Mordecai in cold blood because he was player 2 in a game and because he always lost at punchies.
@@M4x_P0w3r Mordecai did the same and murdered Rigby because he was jealous of how Rigby was making Margaret laugh
@@ishmaeelchilila4663 Rigby shoved Mordecai first, he almost slipped and had to catch himself. Of course he would get mad and shove back, and he regretted it immediately. When Rigby tried to murder Mordecai, he tried again and again and wasn't satisfied until he got what he wanted. Mordecai even warned him ahead of time that a pool of lava was forming around them, and Rigby didn't care.
@@M4x_P0w3rOn that same episode, he also enslaved the rest of the workers and destroyed the park intentionally. And on another, he was willing to let Skips die over a chocolate cake.
How did the Benson video blow up so quick? 1 million views is insane, congrats
you and truelocalweirdo are my favorite youtubers right now love ur content
His stuff is great, good taste
Tell us something we didn't know 😂😂
Rigby is my spirit animal
Good f*cking video, I’m glad someone finally addressed rigby’s asinine behavior and d*ck-headedness. I was hoping you would address the whole “Mordecai killed rigby” argument but no worries.
I would say a good way to sum up Rigby early on in his park tenure is that he was a lazy, entitled and immature DICKHEAD with ego issues and perspective issues as well.
Doug and Thomas got the same voice actor
Fun fact, big dug had the same voice actor as that goat guy I forgot his name
Rigby turned out better as the series went on
Bro you’re already at 6k congrats 😂
Dang wrote this two days ago an you already at 7k
Pretty cool stuff... Congrats on 6k now
He may have been a lazy bum but he was also a KING 👑
From bum to king 👑
Mordecai went from the mature one to the insufferable one meanwhile rigby went from insufferable to mature
He got downbad
damn i remember watching all these episodes when they were airing, & if you missed it, it still played before the new episode comes at 8:30
This video is literally a TH-cam comment of mine I left in the replies of Rigby praise video, except I still hate Rigby. One thing you did, is that you put into perspective how easy his job is, and I think that paints the picture a lot better than I did as simple of a fact as it is.
Thank Goodness for his redemption arc
Huh. I clicked on this video and it's already liked. I don't remember being here before.
Good video, nonetheless. Rigby deserved this takedown like he deserved Super Saiyan Benson
Rigby's rise to being the opposite of what he was, was pretty satisfying, while we saw mordecai becoming lesser of what he once was, and just being a non-stop simp anytime Margaret was around him or was talking to him, he killed rigby over her because he made a point.
Technically there is an episode where Benson does fire Rigby but gives another chance
At least Rigby never pulled a mordecai.
Great content, Simply No other words to it!
I get what your saying but he’s such a huge part in the story of every episode so I get the praise
Close at 10k. Congrats.
