"It's anything but."
Regular Show - Movie Quotes
Memorable Quotes
You can't touch music, but music can touch you.
— Mordecai
Context:
In the Season 2 episode "This Is My Jam," Rigby gets an annoying, catchy song stuck in his head. The song manifests as a giant, sentient cassette tape that physically haunts him. Mordecai delivers this line while trying to explain the situation, just before the musical entity begins to physically attack them.
Meaning:
This nonsensical but strangely profound line perfectly encapsulates the show's blend of stoner-like logic and surrealism. It's a comedic observation that hints at the powerful, intangible nature of art and emotion, a recurring element in a show where abstract concepts often become literal, dangerous entities.
A bunch of baby ducks, send 'em to the moon.
— Rigby
Context:
From the pilot episode, "The Power," Mordecai and Rigby need to fix a hole in the wall. Rigby finds a magical keyboard that can do anything. Instead of fixing the hole, they use it for random acts, including sending a group of baby ducks they encounter to the moon by playing a little song. The ducks later return as cosmic, super-powered beings.
Meaning:
This quote is the embodiment of the show's early, chaotic, and random sense of humor. It showcases Rigby's impulsive and nonsensical problem-solving skills, establishing the series' core premise where simple issues are resolved in the most absurdly over-the-top manner possible.
MY MOM!
— Muscle Man
Context:
Muscle Man uses this phrase constantly throughout the entire series, typically as a punchline to a terrible joke he tells. A classic example is in the episode "My Mom," where Benson tells him, "Muscle Man, if you say 'my mom', you're fired." Muscle Man pauses, then yells, "MY MOM!" Benson fires him, and Muscle Man proclaims, "It was worth it!"
Meaning:
This is Muscle Man's iconic, abrasive, and nonsensical catchphrase. It represents his unique brand of obnoxious humor and his tendency to insert himself into any situation. The joke became a running gag so legendary that its humor comes not from the joke itself, but from its constant, predictable, and context-defying repetition.
Jolly good show.
— Pops
Context:
Pops says this frequently throughout the series when he is pleased. Its most significant use is in the final moments of the series finale, "A Regular Epic Final Battle." After sacrificing himself to save the universe, his voice is heard from the afterlife, watching his friends' lives unfold. He sees them grow up and find happiness, and delivers the line as his final, heartfelt words before a tape of the show is ejected, ending the series.
Meaning:
This is Pops' signature phrase, expressing his innocent delight and appreciation for the world around him. Its gentle, old-fashioned sincerity stands in stark contrast to the chaos that usually surrounds him. In the context of the series finale, it takes on a deeply poignant meaning, serving as his final, fourth-wall-breaking verdict on the entire series and the life he lived with his friends.
