[@garrettviewegh677]

I think the reason why Rigby and Eileen worked so well as a couple is because, despite Rigby's flaws, he grew to care about Eileen. Rigby was honest with her and didn't try to change himself for her- so they could get to know each other with clear transparency. Mordicai on the other hand, devoted his time to her while, at times, being a bad friend to Rigby. He also lied to his friends and Margret as well as creating excuses as he "waited for the right moment". But with all the time waiting instead of making it happen, and letting her see the real him, Mordecai never had the courage to make a genuine relationship with any girl until the very end of the show. It's a good lesson though, if you find someone you love it least try and you'll know if they fill the same way. Otherwise, that chance will pass you by.

[@V.B.T.G]

Eileen asking Rigby to go golfing was so adorable, I felt bad for how she was treated in that episode

[@devinjones1527]

I feel that like while mordecai can be toxic in later seasons, this show has been established as having continuity and rigby literally screws everything up every single time, whereas mordecai has to constantly take the fall as well for his friend even though HE is often the one who tries to do the right thing. After literal years of this, I can see why mordecai would have this view of Rigby just being lazy and stupid. For the first few seasons until he starts to get with Eileen, that's pretty much all he establishes himself to be. Also, I never hear anyone say this and it's super important: rigby is VERY manipulative. Every time something happens (unicorns, the date with Margaret, solids, etc) rigby gets jealous over something petty, usually just that he wants to have mordecai all to himself when mordecai wants to do something independent of rigby, rigby will go out of his way to ruin things, and then when mordecai calls him out, he says "if YOU had just done *whatever*, this wouldn't have happened". That is gaslighting. That's what abusers say to make you think it was your fault you were punished or what have you. Like, while rigby is technically correct, he blames everything on mordecai not wanting to hang out with him, instead of the fact that HIS reaction to mordecai's actions were the cause of the problem getting worse rather than just talking to him or saying "you know what? If you'd rather hang out with some stranger than your best friend then fine we don't have to be best friends" or SOMETHING. instead, he just blames mordecai for basically not wanting his ENTIRE EXISTENCE to be spent hanging out with the same loser slacker who CONSTANTLY gets him into trouble and nearly costs him his job literally every week. It's a severe personality flaw that I never see anyone address and I'm not saying that mordecai is perfect or anything and honestly I absolutely love Rigby's arc through the whole show, seeing him grow and mature makes him such a dynamic character. It just also seems like the show itself sometimes also wants to paint it as Rigby being right when he says "if you hadn't etc" and I feel like sometimes mordecai should have said "I did mess up but you went out of your way and YOUR actions directly caused the bad thing to happen". This did happen more in unicorns when mordecai pointed out that even though he had been an idiot about the cologne, it still didn't give Rigby the right to treat him like dirt. As the show went on as Rigby changed and matured, it showed that mordecai didn't think he really needed to change and mature because he was already used to being a step above Rigby, which brought his personality flaws more to the forefront, and I like how the show didn't flanderize them both and go through so many seasons of mordecai just constantly bailing Rigby out and Rigby basically just being patrick and the only motivation for any conflict in the show through insistent stupidity. They're actually dynamic characters with real flaws which is one reason the show can still speak to me even though I'm not a teenager anymore.

[@CombatSportsNerd]

Oh wow, an actually unbiased take on this relationship

[@devinjones1527]

The character development in this show is actually pretty insightful I think, with a couple of exceptions of course. As a person with social anxieties I could always kind of understand why mordecai had a hard time talking to Margaret. His character is explored well in the portrait episode. He's clearly more sensitive and he fears rejection in many aspects of his life, which I think is why he's generally the one more concerned about getting fired as well. He doesn't want to put himself out there (such as expressing himself visually through painting) and be rejected. Deep down, he knows that he is only seen as marginally better than rigby in his daily life, but they do at least see him as somewhat more respectable. The fact that in later seasons when Rigby starts to outpace him, he realizes that he has survived so long by just being faster than his friend so to speak, that when Rigby passes him, he will be the next to last, and he deals with it in an immature way because he hasn't bothered to grow, and it still takes several years after a trip to space to save the universe which shifted his entire perspective to really explore himself. He's definitely an idiot about relationships and what he thinks women like/wants, which isn't unusual at that stage in life both for men and women, and his arrogance at generally being the one who is at least more right than Rigby helps to dig his grave deeper like in the episode where he first kisses Margaret. His past self won't even listen when he tries to tell HIMSELF how to fix it. He makes some stupid decisions, small and large, which I can see why people don't like especially his later season behavior. He usually seems to learn from his mistakes, however, and generally ends up admitting he was wrong by the end of the episode, again with a couple of exceptions and half apologies, which mostly happen in later episodes. Sometimes, when pushed too far, he strikes out in anger and says something rooted in truth, but designed to cut deeply and therefore more cruel than necessary, and he kills Rigby by accident in a moment of anger, for which he almost immediately feels and outwardly expresses remorse, and then listens to the advice he was given. He also listens to skips most of the time. I can see why people find his actions unforgivable in some episodes because he really does stoop low sometimes. But Rigby has done some deplorable things too. And he spends every waking minute with mordecai, drags him into things by outright lying to his supposed best friend (grilled cheese deluxe, the hot dogs) or being just insistently stupid or downright selfish. Whenever mordecai justifiably calls him out, rigby first denies that he does or did the thing, then accuses mordecai of causing the problem or tries to turn it around or blame someone else for it. He cheats to get his way (sometimes justifiably as it seems that mordecai does take advantage of his physical superiority like with punchies) but then expects mordecai to sit there and put up with his constant insults and rubbing it in his face, which he does to skips as well, but skips is mature enough to see where he went wrong and fix it, as skips does. He relies heavily on mordecai for many seasons until he starts to grow up, and that is why it is hard to sympathize with him in episodes like unicorns and the date with margaret because he spends all his time with mordecai, and mordecai even says they can hang out later, but Rigby responds with a petulant "no" and then goes out of his way to get as far under mordecai's skin as possible, literally pushing his best friend to the point of a crime of passion, knowing full well how much margaret means to mordecai, just because he doesn't want to share his friends attention. It's easy for him to talk to people in general, but he is calm around margaret because he doesn't care about her, and he knows that mordecai does. It's a mean thing to do, and then he blames mordecai for the suffering that he is willingly inflicting. He runs every chance mordecai has with her, and then makes fun of mordecai for being afraid of trying. Why should he try? If he tries to hang out with someone else or have new friends, rigby will sabotage it. And when Rigby makes friends with the unicorns, he actively helps them haze his best friend and then his co workers, gleefully and out of pure spite because he wanted to play games with mordecai. That is some messed up stuff to deal with in a friendship. It's just hard for me to completely hate mordecai after seeing how emotionally manipulated he's been through the entire relationship, despite his flaws and poor decisions, and it's another reason why the ending of the show is so satisfying to see how they both find themselves throughout all their adventures. Sorry for the novel, I love discussing this show and no one else in my life watches it lol

I'm not sure exactly what Jay is asking about solids because his wording was pretty weird, but I think the idea here is that if someone asks you for a solid and you do it, then they owe you one (unless you agree to different terms beforehand like Mordecai and Rigby). If you don't return a solid owed, then the universe apparently decides to punish you and everyone around you with death, but if you don't owe them a solid when you refuse one, I'm guessing nothing happens. So in regards to a "solid war," once they were even on solids again, then either of them should be able to end it by just refusing to do anything they were asked to do.

Mordecai's no saint in the ep either because even at the risk of losing his job, he doesn't even try to work with Rigby who continues to escalate things to avoid cleaning. They just create a cycle of blame/neglect and the issue isn't truly solved at the end. Rigby was only mad that Mordecai 'threw him under the bus' with Benson not for being called out on his mess (as Mordecai says) and neither admit their wrongs with the actual problem.

They grew up and mellowed out and became actual friends by the end of the series because that’s what happens in real life.

[@GAshoneybear]

SOLID EDUCATION 101: I can't speak for everyone else, but the way my friends and I do solids, you can "counter for solids" once. Otherwise, you would have solidception. Since Rigby had already countered for solids by going on the date with Eileen, Mordecai had no leverage and had to essentially pay off his debt.

[@Zeldafan1ify]

I feel like Rigby and Mordecai's friendship evolved like this: besties as kids: They got along well, played together all the time, were equally immature, got to know eachother on a superficial but brotherly level besties as teenagers: Inseparable, hung out whenever they could, had everything in common, this is that phase where they hardly ever disagreed with eachother (i had friendahips like this in high-school), still have a superficial best friendship that could easily fade away if Mordecai started college away from Rigby Besties in their 20s: Living together for the first time and facing consequences for their actions (for the first time), they were starting to annoy eachother. They didn't see eye-to-eye as much with Rigby retaining his insufferable habits from high school and Mordecai behaving like a juvenile older brother, they don't know why they tolerate eachother, but at this point their friendship isn't as supercial anymore Besties in their 30s and beyond: The "twilight years" of their friendship, they have both fully matured as adults, emotional maturity is at its peak. They hold a brotherhood that is unbreakable, though they probably don't hang out as often as they used to, but they still keep in touch as they work through their now-established lives (maybe starting a new family, advancing in their careers or dreams, adulting stuff)

Rigby and Mordecai was a terrible friendship forged on the fact that no one else wanted to deal with their specific brand of weird-ass, Pandora’s box bullshit they regularly got themselves into.

You know actually ok the solid episode it didn’t make any sense that Rigby was able to do a solid later when he broke the tape yet mordocai had to do the solid on the spot🤦‍♂️ it low key always like irritated me how Rigby was able to get away with things yet Mordocai was always held accountable for stuff

[@PabloSanchez-yl2pd]

None the less I love regular show! ... I would never want a friend like Rigby though tbh

[@ClownPuncher139]

I’ve always wondered something for this episode: Mordecai denying Rigby’s 10th solid causes everything to collapse because of the power of solids and all that. So can someone explain how Rigby was able to deny doing Mordecai a solid and going on the date? Mordecai was owed a solid for cheesing the nachos, and I think even pulling his seat out in the coffee shop, so by logic Rigby would have to do this solid. There’s no conceivable reason he could deny the solid, and be owed 10 in return for it, when he already owed Mordecai a solid.

[@onelastangel3187]

You’ve got a point but even tho he initially denied he almost immediately did it after and if it’s a mental thing he might’ve been considering it which delayed all the bad stuff

[@claykuperus]

it also might be due to the fact that mordecai owed him 10 solids, where when rigby denied the solid he didn't owe him anything.

[@donovan_salgado]

Fun fact the show started when Mordecai and Rigby were around 23 years old which means that Mordecai was in junior college/art school for around five years after getting expelled, which must also mean that Rigby was just crashing in Mordecai dorm for five years doing nothing and he only got the job at the park because of Mordecai had to vouch for him in an interview that he was too lazy to show up People tend to forget that in the early seasons Rigby was a horrible friend as he was clingy and lazy and made most of the conflicts happen in the show but no it's all about HAHA BLUE BIRD A SIMP Rigby had a great character arc but come on when you start from the bottom there no where to go but up while Mordecai stayed mostly the same and his love life arc was really annoying and didn't matter as he didn't end up with either and sure he had few bad episode but some on you can fill seasons on where Rigby mess up Both friends have known each other for years and have a set views on each other and that takes time to change but that doesn't stop them from being as close as brothers that would go to hell and back for each other

no disrespect towards you Alpha Jay Show. I like your reviews, but I don't like when you do Regular Show videos. Because all it is is just focusing on the problems with Mordecai and not focusing with the problems with Rigby. It seems you are very biased to blindly side with Rigby. At least focus on BOTH of them and not always side with Rigby because "Mordecai's a simp." Again no disrespect.

I'm a solid-lawyer, and I can say if you owe someone a back log of solids over a certain amount you cannot claim a solid debt until those solids are paid off. The limit for "solid credit" depends on the relations but on average it's 3.

[@ToxicBlitzX3]

In your solid idea, countering with "you owe me a solid" would mean whatever was asked it basically worth 2 solids (unless it was the start of a solid chain), since it there was already an exchange before, say M owed a solid to R, and it was R's asking for it, M countering by saying R owes him a solid means it's worth 2 since if it was worth 1 solid then it would be even and no need to owe solids anymore, similar to how R countered by saying M's date solid was worth 10 solids. I think it's a solid logic

[@ToxicBlitzX3]

Also props at 14:35, I thinks it's two audio clips but man you have lungs to say it that fast and in one breath

[@pipedream2556]

It feels like the early seasons while they were getting the feel of the show they made the guys relationship more volatile. Like, they had conflicts in later seasons but there was a greater sense of consistent...I guess bromance? Like, I can't imagine questioning how their friendship is intact as casually as done here bc thr conflicts were either treated as weighty issues that could change their lives, or they were silly small things that they were aware weren't too big of a deal, they were on opposite sides of a debate but it was never an outright fight for such a small thing as it is here, or other early episodes. They had to balance it out over the season(s) by having other episodes like eggcelent that proved that they're real bros so people could remember them when stuff like this happened, bc this episode on its own doesn't really show them being friends much at all 😅
