Regular Show

Animated workplace comedy

Regular Show is an American animated television series (2010–2017) that aired on Cartoon Network, following two slacker friends—a blue jay named Mordecai and a raccoon named Rigby—who work as groundskeepers at a park.

The show's premise involves mundane situations that escalate into surreal, often supernatural adventures: We were just trying to return a video and ended up fighting a demon.

The title plays on this contrast between ordinary starting points and bizarre conclusions.
