Honestly, Regular Show got really close to being the Rick And Morty of its time, I wish they'd gone all in on its adult themes and made it an Adult Swim show. It touched on topics that kids wouldn't get, like Mordecai's dating problems and Rigby getting his GED and his incredibly healthy relationship with Eileen.

I did like the Gold Watch episode mostly for the moment where Benson is ready to fully blame Mordecai and Rigby for what happened, but the two pilots are like "No, you were the one who ate all those wings, you're the one who said yes. You could've said no at ANY time, but you didn't. You have no one to blame but yourself." was such a good moment showing someone confronting him about his problem.

I think there was also an episode where Benson got drunk off wings after his girlfriend bumped him. He realized the wings weren't making him feel better like they normally did so Mordecai and Rigby told him that fries were going to cheer him up aka a different kind of alcohol or drink to make his body react differently to a new "substance"

That's not even remotely true. Benson is a nice guy deep down, until you offend him. Benson believes that if you're going to do a job, you do it efficiently and you do it right. Mordecai and Rigby almost never hold up to this standard. This is when Benson loses it and lashes out. There are plenty of instances where Benson starts out as peaceful but Mordecai and Rigby make his patience run dry. Like the time Benson got sandwiches for everyone on the house, and the two thought it would be funny to order the 84 dollar sandwich. The time Benson wanted to get donuts for everyone. Benson giving them plenty of chances to impress and make him proud. He puts genuine hope in Mordecai and Rigby, hope that he can teach them more responsibility

It might be that he also enjoys wings so much that he connects with everybody a lot more since Benson has so much pressure in ensuring the park work goes correctly, meaning once he is able to connect with his employees in a way that doesn’t force him to get frustrated at least once since he enjoys the wings, and the alcohol in them.

I think the biggest thing no one talks about with Benson is how much his responsibilities make him miserable. Like there's the episode where Maellard demotes him and puts a demon lady as the boss of the park and he becomes just sort of chill like Mordecai and Rigby. He probably is using hot 'sauce' as a way to cope with the stress.

Have you seen the precursor to Regular Show, 1 in the AM-PM, a short where the characters that would someday become Mordecai and Benson do acid at work?

Benson is one of the best characters of the show. I think people hated him because they were young viewers, either no job or only on there first. They see bosses as just trying to control fun, when really mordecai and rigby were in there 20s yet acted 12. As you grow up, you start to realize how great of a boss benson really is. He wouldn’t have probably ever gotten so angry if they just did there job. With employees like skips, muscle man, skips, ghost five, he never got angry at them cuz they did there jobs, even got long breaks and treat them to dinner. Benson truly was a boss we all want

For the record, an Adult Swim character drank hot wings once. Master Shake once poured buffalo wings into a blender and then drank it(because he lost his teeth in that episode and couldn’t chew food).

Regular Show use to be one of my favorite animated television cartoon comedies of all time along with Adventure Time that I need to finish. I think J.G. Quintel originally wanted to make a show that was geared towards adults rather than children alone, long before he created Close Enough.

Regular Show is exactly what every single "adult show" wishes it was. They don't lean into being super extra edgy, or making sly "were so mature dropping f bombs all the time" jokes, instead they just straight up take these more mature situations at face value (or at least the most obvious that they could've done for a CN show) and throw them right there into your face and you either understand it or don't.

Ah yes, I remember. My gumball man! I think the reason why he drinks is because of his family. But during watching the show, I always thought he drank because he had bipolar (or just anger issues) and didn't know it. Him getting drunk was my favorite part of the show though, it just shows and tells us that Benson is just some down to Earth guy. Rather than some do who's always uptight. Man- can't believe I slept on this show when I was a teen...

Just a point to your "dangerous rhetoric" thing that you touched on, I know it's after it's blown up and not a lot of people will see this but you're exactly right. Myself, and most other addicts/alcoholics I know drink and use because it's exactly the person they want to be when they're sober (for the most part). Funny, confident, able to brush off comments and not get angry over every little thing. Hell, even a great leader. I don't think it's dangerous to say that, if anything I think it's necessary to realize you're doing it for that reason. The important part is recognizing and working to make yourself the person you wanna be without it.

While all these cartoon conspiracy videos do add a mysterious and dark twist that is exciting and seems like a leap into the dark for a kid’s show, as an adult it really just seems like the creators were making a show that can make social commentary based on real life while also making it viewable for kids. After all, most of us have had a raging dry drunk boss or two. Sometimes they relapse or other times just smash shit and scream in their office.

In my opinoin yes benson is an alchoholic or wingaholic but i never saw him as mean and irritable all the time. He is nice to skips, pops, muscle man, high five ghost. He really only gets mad at mordecia and rigby. And he is justified. They allways do crazy stuff like summon satan and nliw up the park. Benson is the most stable character to me.

Tbf this show was more for teens and up than it was for _kid_-kids. As a teenager, Benson's drunk state was apparent to most. That said, I am grateful they went that route for him, it gave his character more depth than simply "angry boss."

I think that benson is depressed and so his use of wings makes sense. Appropriately he’s less inhibited when under the influence and so he’s more open to people. Personally I’m the same I don’t like alcohol but it’s something to ease pain and help relax which is nice sometimes.
