List of Regular Show characters
Regular Show is an American animated series created by J. G. Quintel. The series contains many characters, with seven main characters and various recurring and one-time characters.
Main characters
Mordecai
Mordecai (voiced by J. G. Quintel) – A blue jay who works as a groundskeeper at the park. He has been best friends with Rigby since childhood, and together they are very lazy and constantly slack off at their jobs at the park. Mordecai is more conscientious, mature, and moral about his actions than Rigby is, even sometimes opposing Rigby for when he is the cause of some chaotic problem. However, Mordecai usually sides with his friend and the two generally stick together through their adventures. Like Rigby, Mordecai loves video games and is very skilled at them. He can sometimes become caught up in his emotions, often letting them get the best of him. However, he is usually quick to apologize to others if he has hurt them and occasionally takes the lead in fixing a situation. He has a crush on Margaret, a female robin who works as a waitress at the Coffee Shop. Mordecai would often hang out with her, along with Rigby and Eileen, and made many attempts to try to start a relationship with her. The two finally begin to date in the fourth season until Margaret decides to leave for college, thus ending their relationship. In the episode "Camping Can Be Cool", it is revealed that he attended art school before being employed at the park, however, he did not ever finish the course.
Rigby
Rigby (voiced by William Salyers) – A brown raccoon who works as a groundskeeper at the park. He has been best friends with Mordecai since childhood and slacks off even more than Mordecai does. Rigby is hyper, immature, and extremely mischievous, which sometimes puts him at odds with Mordecai. He mostly lives for simply having a good time and relaxing, which he sometimes achieves through selfish acts of lying or cheating. He has a bad habit of getting himself and others in trouble, often causing many of the chaotic and surreal problems that the group faces. Nevertheless, he is shown to be a good person deep down and sticks closely to his friends. Like Mordecai, Rigby loves to play video games, despite not being too good at them. He is also shown to be the weakest out of the group, although he has surprised them on a few occasions. He has a younger brother named Don, who is much taller and larger than he is. Eileen, a female mole who works at the coffee shop alongside Margaret, has strong feelings for Rigby and makes this very obvious. He originally did not return the feeling and even harshly ignored her, but he quickly begins to warm up to her and implies that he likes her, as well. In the episode "Diary", he admitted that he found her attractive when she was not wearing her glasses.
Benson
Benson (voiced by Sam Marin) – A living gumball machine who works as the manager of the park. He is frequently infuriated with Mordecai and Rigby due to their constant slacking and mischief. He is very hot-tempered and prone to fits of rage, often turning red whenever he yells or is extremely angry. He is a responsible and hardworking employee and views his job as very precious. He sincerely tries to teach Mordecai and Rigby how to be responsible and take their jobs seriously, but usually to no avail. Benson is constantly threatening to fire the two due to their antics and poor job performance, although this almost never happens. Despite always being at odds with them, Benson is ultimately friends with them and the trio gain more insight and trust with each other as the show progresses. In the episode "Think Positive", it is revealed that Benson's family often yelled at each other when he was a child. His father instructed him that he would not get anything in his life if he did not yell for it. It has been implied that Benson was unhappy during his youth and did not enjoy his family's anger. He is skilled at stick hockey and has a strong love for music, proving to be an extremely skilled drummer in the episode "150 Piece Kit". Benson is also dating Audrey, a human woman who lives across from him in his apartment complex.
Pops
Pops Maellard (voiced by Sam Marin) – A cheerful, quirky, and naïve lollipop-shaped man who resides at the house in the park. His father, Mr. Maellard, is the owner of the park. Pops tends to be very ecstatic about everything and is an upright gentleman who is very kind and well-mannered. He is also very sensitive, often becoming upset or crying if his feelings are hurt. He has strong interests in poetry, wrestling, music, nature, animals, and games. Despite being an elderly man, he is very childlike and is often oblivious to serious things around him. Because of this, the group is frequently looking after him, especially Benson. In the episode "Prank Callers", it is shown that Pops was once a more serious and mature man back in the 1980's. However, when Mordecai and Rigby had been sent back to that time and accidentally hit him with a golf cart, he is shown to have turned into his zany self.
Skips
Skips (voiced by Mark Hamill) – A yeti who works as a groundskeeper at the park. He is the strongest and smartest out of the group and he is almost always turned to for help, as he usually knows how to solve the chaotic problems that come up. Whenever he is asked for help, he generally says, "I've seen this before", and then presents a solution. As his name suggests, he is always skipping rather than walking. He is a diligent worker and is very skilled at his job; however, he suffers from a lack of knowledge of computers and other related technology. Aside from this, he is very experienced and knowledgeable, as he is immortal and has been around for hundreds of years. In the episode "Free Cake", it is revealed that he is required to perform a ceremonial dance every year on his birthday in order to renew his immortality. He explains the story of how he received his immortality in the episode "Skips' Story." He chose to become immortal in order to fight Klorgbane, an immortal bully who inadvertently caused the death of Desdemona, the only woman that Skips had ever loved. The Guardians of Eternal Youth provided Skips with his immortality, knowing that he was the only one capable of defeating Klorgbane. Skips' original name was Walks, but he changed it to Skips when he received his immortality because he and Desdemona would always skip when they were together. This is also the reason why he is always skipping instead of walking; he chose to do this in order to always remember the times he and Desdemona shared.
Muscle Man
Mitch "Muscle Man" Sorenstein (voiced by Sam Marin) – A short, overweight, and green-skinned man who works a groundskeeper at the park. He is very erratic and immature, often pulling pranks and joking around. He enjoys telling "My mom!" jokes, which are botched attempts at "Your mom!" jokes, much to everyone's annoyance except Hi-Five Ghost, who is his best friend. Although he can be rude due to his ego, he is ultimately shown to be polite and caring towards his friends. At times, he can burst out on a rampage if he is greatly angered. His father, Muscle Dad, enjoyed the same attitude for pranks and jokes, but passed away in the episode "Trucker Hall of Fame". His older brother, Muscle Bro, is also seen throughout the show. Muscle Man originally shared a rivalry with Mordecai and Rigby throughout the first two seasons, but the trio started to get along and treat each other as friends from the third season onward. His girlfriend, Starla, shares a similar appearance to him and the couple constantly disgust other people when they publicly kiss and show affection to each other. His real name was revealed to be Mitch Sorenstein in the episode "Muscle Woman". In the episode "Power Tower", it is revealed that he gained the nickname "Muscle Man" from his early years of bodybuilding and actually being in excellent physical condition.
Hi-Five Ghost
Hi-Five Ghost (voiced by Jeff Bennett in season one, then by J. G. Quintel from season two onward) – A small ghost with a hand extending from the top of his head who works as a groundskeeper at the park. Hi-Five Ghost is best friends with Muscle Man and frequently gives him high fives to accompany his jokes, as he genuinely finds most of Muscle Man's jokes amusing. Because of his name and appearance, he is frequently called by his nickname, "Fives". Hi-Five Ghost rarely speaks throughout the first three seasons of the show, but he is given more dialogue from season four onward. His father was introduced in the episode "See You There", as well as his older brother, Low-Five Ghost, who is a recurring character. In the episode "The Postcard", Hi-Five Ghost reunited with a human girl named Celia that he had befriended after waiting four years to receive a postcard from her.
Secondary characters
Thomas
Thomas (voiced by Roger Craig Smith; not to be confused with the 300-year-old son of Death also named Thomas who appeared in "Dead at Eight") – A young goat who is an intern working at the park. He is introduced in the fourth season's premiere episode "Exit 9B". He obtained the job at the park in order to receive extra credit points for college. Because of his lack of experience at the park and residing as the newcomer, Thomas is often reproved by his co-workers, most notably by Muscle Man. Thomas is usually reluctant to be involved in the surreal and chaotic adventures that the group goes through, often asking if he has to be apart of the situation, to which they insist that he must. He is shown to be very close with his mother, often mentioning her and talking to her on the phone. Despite appearing hapless at times, Thomas remains very friendly with his co-workers and is appreciated by the group.

She also appears in "Do Me a Solid", where Rigby learns of Eileen's crush on him (even though Rigby shows no interest in Eileen), though he goes along with it for a while. Since the episode "Camping Can Be Cool", Rigby has warmed up to Eileen and considers her a cool person and praised her actions throughout the episode. In the episode "Diary", Rigby admits that he finds Eileen to be attractive without her glasses on.

Maellard is very impatient towards Benson (similar to Benson's impatience towards Mordecai and Rigby) and Maellard blames Mordecai and Rigby's shenanigans on Benson (as he expects Benson to take responsibility for Mordecai and Rigby as park manager). He purposely mistakes Benson's name a lot in some of the episodes he is in (using "Ballbucket", "Beanbag" etc.). Maellard finally got Benson's name right (and starts to respect him as well) in "Benson Be Gone" due to Benson coming to his rescue when he was captured by Susan (a woman whom Mr. Maellard had hired as the park manager after demoting Benson) and also gave Benson his old job back.
