How Can Mordecai Be So DUMB But Yet So SMART?

Regular Show Mordecai and the Rigbys is the next episode within the Margaret/CJ Arc series (also known as the Mordecai Simp series, but I'm definitely not going to call it that). Mordecai and the Rigbys is a very good episode that involves Mordecai pretending to have a band with Rigby, due to unintentional pressure from Margaret.

Honestly a moment from this episode that I think is worth analyzing is when Benson is the first guy to start applauding Mordecai and Rigby after they destroy the shirts. It’s the first positive attention he gives them during the whole series up until this point. He sees their integrity because they actually want to work to attain their goals instead of taking the easy route and he claps. Wholesome moment

[@luksuwu523]

I always thought that Benson clapped because Future Mordecai and Rigby were destroyed, and I thought he was happy

Mordecai was made to reflect the character of JG, whom of which is completely unrelated to his life. Sure JG may be clever, write hilarious and realistic dialogue, but he never, ever pulled a Mordecai IDK what gave him that idea

[@ivanbluecool]

Its quite simply to see the appeal of regular show. The duo grow up from workers to better people as they go and while I don't like the final season basically ruining everything aside the ending as we see the cast the city and the viewers all gro up together and that is a very nice thing. Also just funny as well.

[@murderman8578]

How does the Final season run things

[@ivanbluecool]

@@murderman8578 basically moving the whole cast off world after all the development we saw the cast go through and basically semi rebooting the cast while moving pops to the front for the climax that honestly came out of nowhere. It really ruined the world building by going off world even with the space program being a thing kinda like south Park where PC principal came in and the whole town had an overarching story while each episode had a mini one at the same time is how second to last season of regular show handled. I would have been fine skipping all the space stuff and just doing the epilogue as aside pops dying nothing changed for the cast on earth that we couldn't have seen happen directly Also we know they still had story on the earth seeing the final episode everyone coming back to do super fast epilogue stories for each of them and ending off in the park. Don't get me wrong the call backs to the keyboard player still granting wishes was great and using that to go back to pops was brilliant but honestly most of the last season was not as good as the second to last one.

A thing that always bothered me about how he ended up meeting CJ is because he thought Margaret was getting married right? But who the hell proposes over the phone and why was that his first thought not 'oh she must be going somewhere'?!

[@beybladegeekusa7340]

over the phone?, didn't he get the whole Proposal thing mixed up because he saw Margaret react to her cousin's new prostetic leg?

[@katlyndobransky2419]

Lmao he literally saw her with her cousin. He was on one knee. I thought you were gonna say that it was weird how he connected so much with CJ and clearly got over Margaret, but then when he realized that she wasn’t engaged, he went right back to her

Over the years, I've learned that there are various yet different types of intelligence in this world and certain people exhibit aspects of these types in their own ways. Examples include the two most iconic types of "smarts," Book and Street Smarts. In any case, here's how I look at the intelligence levels of certain Regular Show characters. Benson may rule at his job and he may be a disciplined worker...but his social skills are abysmal and his temper is equally horrid. Muscle Man may be strong (as his nickname implies) but his jokes are very annoying and has trouble reading the room. As for Mordecai, he may be a great artist and rather mature in certain ways. But he's still a goofball with extreme awkward tendencies

[@gadielgonzalez2755]

I mean when I first watched regular show I did think it was really stupid just how far Mordecai would go just to get some tail. It's not until I got older that I really started to realize how pathetic that behavior is. That being said it's not so much Mordecai acting like a simp that pissed me off, I mean hey I've been there a few times so it'd be a little hypocritical for me to judge, it's the fact that Mordecai seemed to never grow out of this behavior. If anything it just got worse as the show progressed. Though there were times he did get over it, like in the sweater episode he did learn to let Margaret go, but then he'd quickly relapsed like in the wedding episode where he basically broke up with CJ right in front of everyone at the alter, while interrupting muscle man's own wedding at the same time. That's basically my personal reason why I find Mordecai's simping so infuriating.
