The Shockingly WEIRD Way Regular Show Ended

[@JordanFringe94]

Thanks so much for watching! What are your thoughts on the ending to Regular Show?

[@tenebrousoul9368]

I think you keep producing quality edutainment. Great job

[@BrotherMag]

You have me amped to watch the whole series again. (After Close Enough)!

[@trinaq]

I liked it, I thought that it was a well written, satisfying ending.

[@Rainos62]

its one of the few shows that somehow ended the right way great from beginning to its end it never let down during its run.

[@ReverseGameplay]

Not ashamed to say it made me tear up. Had been watching the show since I believe I was in middle school, and the ending is just such a good emotional build up. The kicker of "Jolly good show" at the end made me smile.

[@trinaq]

Five years after the finale, and I still bawl like a baby at Pops' sacrifice, and all of the characters got fitting endings. Plus, David Bowie's "Heroes" was the perfect song to set the montage to!

[@razorbldromance83]

I teared up while watching the scene in this video. I feel ya

[@EmberOakSquids]

The VHS ending is just.. insane. This show was something else and I don't think there will ever be anything like it again

[@happygenerously6008]

Never it's one of a kind.

[@Galitinn]

It's perfect

[@StonedUnicornPersonManThing]

When Pops said "Jolly good show." at the end, I legit just broke down.. Head in hands, a snotty mess. Regular Show was not a "Regular" show. It was bloody outstanding.

[@BassBanj0]

David Bowie playing in the background killed me aha, of all characters to die it's Pops, he was so nice and lovable and to then find out that he was rewatching it all was just hard hitting

[@mikemosc3254]

Same bro. I'm still traumatized to this day. The characters growing old and having kids was a real wake up call that was traumatic but necessary.

[@derrik57]

Crying right now 😢

[@pianist150]

I happened to watch Gravity Falls, Regular Show and Adventure Time all back to back and noticed they all kind of end the same way so I did some googling and all the creators were like best friends in Cal Arts. It was cool to see the influence they all had on eachother

[@jcoolguy1548]

Wow I actually didn't know that

[@spainwithoutthes4376]

That's actually so cool damn.

[@kirbules0058]

I never knew that, that's honestly pretty cool

[@davidc.]

All shows peak aswell

[@pinkraven7043]

Pop’s sacrifice was super depressing, but otherwise I found the ending to be extremely satisfying. One of the better endings in Western Animation, imo. It was nice seeing everyone grow up in their own way, even if it had to be away from each other. Cause that’s part of being an adult. Sometimes you have to part from the people you love most in order to move forward. But Regular Show demonstrated that moving forward doesn’t mean leaving behind. Everyone is still a close knit group and Mordecai and Rigby have found that balance between mature family men and the goofballs they were in their 20s. It’s almost the ideal way most adults hope they can turn out. Also, I was honestly pretty happy that Mordecai found a new love in the bat girl. After all that drama with Margaret and CJ, a no-nonsense and clean adult romance is what that guy needed.

[@trinaq]

Agreed, I like that Mordecai didn't end up with one of his long term love interests, but found someone else. Plus, it's a realistic look at growing up, and moving away from your old friends.

[@hypermaeonyx4969]

its pretty hilarious how his love life was

[@Sigurther]

@@trinaq eh, Cloudy Jane was best girl. Mordechai was a chump who didnt appreciate what he had.

[@dexkani9993]

[@blossomingflower2150]

@@Sigurther True I loved CJ

[@CreateAmazment]

For as goofy and weird as this show is, the ending reveal that Pops was watching over them the entire time never fails to make me cry. It's such a beautiful way to end it

[@Gale_Storm_]

Wow...never even saw that ending, but the clips and description you gave had me tearing up. That's powerful stuff.

[@PositivePasta14]

Very well put! I was pretty satisfied with the ending, a lot of people were straight up unhappy about it because of what happened with Pops, but if Pops didn't sacrifice himself for the universe, I don't think the finale would've had such a huge impact, and since it was the series finale it's not like there were more episodes without Pops being around. Pops and Mr. Maellard got their statues in their honor and that made it feel like they didn't just rip Pops away from the show at the moment of his death. Always going to forever remember, The Naive Man From Lolliland, Pops

[@Goatboii]

For as off the wall as the show has always been, I personally think the weird constant mcu space bullshit was a kind of a wack direction to end on.

[@octavia3608]

[@packnetadaija]

I loved regular show! I thought it was good show with a lot of funny blends between adult and kid humor. The finale made me so sad :(

[@Folfah]

@@Spacething7474 it was half and half for me. Felt weirdly rushed. Maybe thats not the word. But it was weird and sad.

[@SofiaPreCure]

Me too it's so silly I used to watch it when I was little sometimes on Cartoon Network back in the 2010's even though the show was for teenagers.

[@wasabiguy2450]

The line "We wouldn't be here if it weren't for pops" still hits me to this day, from season 1 to 8 you'd never expect the happy lollipop man to ascend to God hood

[@shawndon2882]

I remember tearing up so fast when Pops says “Jolly good show” so softly and contently at the end. It was perfect, as much as I hate shows coming to an end.

[@charlee_hotel]

My husband and I saw this episode the day it aired. The moment *Heroes* began playing, we began crying like babies. David Bowie died the year prior (2016), and we were kinda affected by it it because we were *HUGE* fans.

[@untrustedtech7694]

This is one of very few shows that has truly made me cry, personally regular show is in my top 3 but seeing someone else express the same feelings for the show as how I’ve always seen it. Thank you Jordan for beautifully bringing these amazing memories back.

[@hopehope5406]

What’s ur top 3

[@qhairullahrusyaidy]

Regular Show is a show that grew in my heart since 2012. It really shaped my sense of humor and the tone of the show. I'm a huge fan of the show that when I heard the show ended, I got really bummed about it but like every show has come to an end. It's a good thing too as the show felt like it was runs its course on CN and deserves a great way to end the show.

[@MrERJ1992]

"Regular Show is a show that grew in my heart since 2012" You and me both. (:

[@ethanparker7900]

i first watched it in early 2011 in season 2 at just 8 years old and yah just gets you hard 100%

[@Kittenfox_55]

Regular show formula: Everyday problems escalated a supernatural twist

[@Obi-WanGaming]

Now that i think about it, this show seemed to have a much bigger theme of “regular story goes to insanity” than just in the episodes We went from a group of guys in a park, to those same guys saving the universe in space Even the intro to the show starts with just some random ambience music while the outro is a much faster, energetic song

[@unknownvariable9239]

Regular Show will always have some of the most memorable and hilarious characters ever. The writers, directors, everyone who worked on it did a great job. Nobody can deny this show is a masterpiece

[@amberdeangelis404]

As a (mostly) adult I liked this show, as a kid it would have gone over my head. I hope you’ll cover adventure time on this channel.

[@JordanFringe94]

Soon!

Man pops being the ultimate life form was the most wholesome and well deserved finale for me

[@cameron3426]

I cried after

[@megaton.settler]

Yeah. The last season was awesome, I personally wasn’t a fan how the art style changed so much. But. The story, and especially that ending. This is literally the only show i rewatch at least once a month. Great review!!!

[@babygorilla4233]

It's so sad there's no regular show box set. I love my box sets, it's always a little special opening the adventure time art box.

[@rafaelcortez8448]

amazing video man, I grew up on regular show and adventure time. i remember the roll out and pilot episodes. to think it would end on such a surreal note, I would’ve never thought as a 9 year old kid. I’m almost 22 now, and I still watch the episodes from time to time. it truly was a jolly good show.

[@EnigmaticGentleman]

Regular Show had some plot before, but straight up calling the final season "IN SPACE!", and basing it around a battle of gods was out there even for them. Yet it still was the best season

[@aydolette4665]

This and the series finale of Adventure Time will forever be my Achilles heel. I cry every mf time and you didn't even show audio from the episode. You and I will always be back then😭

[@wabigcub1977]

Regular Show was one fantastic journey when it aired on CN. The finale definitely capture what the series was and will forever be.

[@4x4flyingtoken]

This show had the best ending I'd ever seen to be fair I cry everytime I watch it. Like seeing all the characters lives move on without pops it's so incredible honestly a Chad move a hard power play good show Ole boy

[@kobejones56]

For me and cartoon network it has given many shows an undeserved shaft but then theres shows like teen titans which they sadly shafted after such a great arc in the league of evil and brain to terra returning then nothing... Then theres regular show there is no words better than pop's own words "Jolly good show."

[@theannilators7479]

I always thought the ending was supposed to be a meta joke. Pops, being the first character created, represented the show, which due to natural quality decay had run its course. At that point the choice is to either reboot the show, redoing everything, or to let the show end and have everyone carry on with their lives. It’s a message that it all had to end and that’s just part of life

[@TheCommenterDragon]

I will admit that while i enjoyed the ending to Regular Show it did have things i didn't like about it, like they just had to kill off Pops the most likable character in the show although i have no doubt that if he lived he would've been proud to have witnessed everything that the other characters had accomplished in life.

[@redfireddragon8584]

Well, to be fair, according to the show evil pops was a kind of counterweight to balance out the pure good that is pops, which means that both would have to be destroyed at the same time, otherwise another evil pops might appear and the cycle would continue, so in my eyes it does make sense.

[@level3xfactor]

Man, even having watched the finale multiple times, even just hearing it described to me brings tears to my eyes. Regular Show was very special to me, and I’m so happy it was able to end on its own terms in a meaningful and satisfying way.

[@soulbrother5435]

The final Space Season of Regular Show is one of the best endings of any TV show ever. I remember watching it in one day somehow

[@Cobalt777]

Still cry when I see that closing montage with Heroes playing in the background

[@plasmapetey]

I was originally spoiled on the ending but when I finally got a chance to watch it. I thought it was very enduring and very defining. and I enjoyed it

[@Cyndillquil]

I didn’t keep up with Regular Show, despite loving it in middle and high school, but I definitely remember watching the last few episodes and loving them. It was so wacky and fun and I wish i had a way to watch the show again without paying for an HBO Max sub.

[@rahox99]

Soap2day buddy

[@silverwolfgamer4100]

Good show. Jolly good show…I remember watching this final episode, having binged all of Season 8 beforehand. I remember laughing my ass off throughout the battle, smiling as THE POWER title card appears halfway through, being confused at first but smiling again as they dig up that box set. Then, actually tearing up when I see a CRT TV surrounded by clouds, a VHS pop out and hearing that all too familiar catchphrase. It may have been weird, but it was heartfelt. J.C really did care for this show. And I did too.

[@rimfire8217]

I still remember Crying at Pop’s Death. It wasn’t just sad because of his death. It was that his Death felt completely Necessary. The universes Greatest Evil could only be undone by that Sacrifice. Those last few words from Pops to Mordecai and Rigby still resonate with me “Don’t worry Mordecai and Rigby I know your sad but I promise this is a Happy ending. Take care of each other. Goodbye” The more I think about it, the more this line takes my breath away.

[@keiko431]

Man I still remember whatching this with my nephew. We were (and still are) fans of the show and cartoon network in Latino america was kind of iffy with their schedule so by dumb luck we watched the las episode and we cry like no tomorrow, for a simple show to have such a great fucking ending was perfect

[@stripycascade13]

The ad placement is perfect! Amazing work!

[@corydeceased]

'Heroes' almost always gets me in the chest. So when I heard it start up here...

[@nickcallahan3781]

This was one of my favorites. I was in love with the design, comedy and music. When this show ended i actually felt sad not so much because of pops' intial sacrifice but the very end and because i knew there was no more new Regular Show.

[@Maks09111]

The Finale to this day, makes me sad and happy at the same time. The impact of the show, and the last episode will be remembered for a long time.

[@HDGamerofficial]

I remember watching this finale and man, just revisiting it hit me so hard man 😭😭😭 I love Regular Show ❤️

[@H-Real_8]

5 years later and its still hits hard. The ending is perfect for how the show and characters developed over 8 seasons. The best thing imo in how meta it got in the final 2 episodes with the seer explaining their development and echoing the thoughts of fans on it. And the script panels in the final episode as well as the show ending and starting with the power.

[@joelconolly5574]

Considering many the cartoons in Cartoon Network didn't have a fully fledged ending this one really knocked it out of the park. It really is the most thrilling, emotional and powerful ending for a cartoon in relatively 2010 times. Definitely worth a watch after so many years.

[@gamefan6219]

Can we talk about how well Rigby's character development was? How he went from a selfish, careless friend, only caring about himself to being a more mature big brother to Don, and gradually starting to love Elieen? His arc was perfect!

[@harryhall1378]

It was my favourite show when i was in secondary when I was 12 years old and now that I am 22 finished uni. I went to watch it all again and now that I am older I relate to it more living in a day to do job what you don't like doing and wanting more out of life, because you have dreams you want to achieve. Spending time with your friends but going your separate paths so you can grow. Its all bitter sweet sad but happy at the same time because that's life.

[@dunbarin]

One of the best endings to a show ever I felt so sad after watching it

[@Azrael_is_here]

I've only caught a handful of episodes here and there, but seeing this ending gets me super excited for sitting down to the whole show, someday!

[@SharpestLiVES13]

Regular Show was and always will be my favorite cartoon series. That show literally saved me from going way down the rabbit hole of dark thoughts because of my depression. When a wave would hit me especially during nights of insomnia and anxiety, I would binge numerous episodes. The next thing I know it's morning and I survived another day thanks to Mordecai, Rigby, Skips, Pops, Muscle Man, Fives and Benson, and their (mis)adventures. To this day, I still go back and watch them when I need a pick-me-up. The finale, especially, made me bawl, but I am so happy it ended the way it beautiful did.

[@ViIvaNunner]

one thing i love about the final season of regular show is that despite the whole plot aspect and the being in space stuff a lot of the episodes still wind up being sorta day to day life turning to madness i also love all the foreshadowing in the season before, being able to see dome schematics in the background as a gag or seeing pops powers also, j g quintel is really good at meta - the stuff with the naive man from lolliland and the post its notes, to the entire candice nightmare sequence in close enough? extremely good stuff comics are a lot less accessible i think but i read regular show: 25 years later a while back and its also really good. i loved seeing little bits of how the characters grew and it definitely felt like regular show, normal to wacky and all. shame it seems to not be talked about much

[@EmperorChaos468]

Thanks to HBO Max, I got to finish the series because I missed the last season on tv back then but knew what happened to Pops and it was still emotional. Seeing the group meet back up at the park with their families and friends, all the iconic moments and references it was a really good show 🤧

[@mattgalumbeck8021]

I just got a weird feeling watching the end of this video and I can’t explain it

[@shadowsa2b]

I missed out on the last season when it was running. The few bits and pieces i saw where the park was locked in a dome amd shot into space felt really off the rails, even for this show's standards. A show about crazy, wild, fantastical, nightmarish adventures starting from a normal, average park, turning into a plot driven space drama just felt like such a strange (relatively speaking) departure. But after watching this, i wish i had watched it.

[@gamefan6219]

Season 8 was just as weird as the other seasons...

[@_Whyro_]

Five years later and I still don't understand how everyone was fine at the end. They made it seem like the explotion at the sun made a bigger impact. Even the erased characters were back after the battle.

I'm a sucker for anything involving space so when the show went to space I loved it. Plus the ending with Pops' sacrifice made me tear up a little

[@gregperianayagam4522]

I feel the final season is very representative of the conclusion of most all episodes. Episodes all have a similar structure, a mundane introduction, then the middle introduces some new thing, the ending just takes the concept to the extreme and goes balls to the walls with the logic The first seasons introduces the characters, the middle seasons has recurring characters and story arcs, before the final season goes ape shit. They do have to make the ending properly, by paying tribute to everything that came before.

[@madj.7379]

Maaaaannnn... why'd you have to go and hit my feels that hard? Great video... but it was too soon... still miss you, Pops... #HmHmmmHmHmHmmmHmmHmmmHm #GreatestCartoonSeriesIveEverSeen

[@OshawottLuke]

This one was truly amazing. Every episode has so many references to other stuff and the concepts are so great. And something that elevates it even more for me is that it had really good games on the website. And I'm so thankful for the Flashpoint preservation project because I've been able to revisit soo many flash games from my childhood thanks to it, I don't even care if it sounds like promotion, if this even helps someone out there who's reading this realize that they can play those Regular Show games again (and almost any other flash game) and they do it and revisit something special, it's worth it. Replaying those games just hits so well, and it's even more special when we could easily be unable to do that but we were lucky that someone started that project. It's like, those games could be lost, but they're not, and when you're playing them it feels more special. And that goes for the Regular Show ones and all the other ones I played back then, all those Cartoon Network games. CN really was amazing, like truly amazing to be a kid growing up with CN existing and with how much they put onto their website.

Maybe this is to obvious, but isn’t it ironic that just like parents in real life. A lot of the times the sacrifices you make to protect your kids and give them the best life end up being the death of you, but it doesn’t matter because even though you’re scared and uncertain about how to win the fight against bad you know it’s all worth it in the long run.
