** Mordecai and Rigby both share the role of protagonist, as neither is really more important than the other. Love life aside, Mordecai rarely brings anything interesting to the table whereas Rigby is always causing trouble, driving the plot of most episodes. Still, Mordecai is often viewed as the "true protagonist" due to being the leader of the duo, to the point that there's even an episode where Rigby takes issue about being considered Mordecai's "sidekick".

Still, Mordecai is often viewed as the "true protagonist" due to being the leader of the duo, to the point that there's even an episode where Rigby takes issue about being considered Mordecai's "sidekick". In general, Mordecai's love life is a major plot point in the first six seasons (especially in seasons 4-6) while Rigby gets a major arc regarding his character development in season 7.



** Benson and Muscle Man. Rigby and Mordecai can act like this a lot to each other, if they get on each other's nerves too much.

** Benson in the first couple of episodes, where he had little character outside of being the duo's [[MeanBoss asshole boss]]. Later episodes make it evident that he can be pretty nice, just with an unfortunate temper and a tendency to hold on to the JerkassBall.

** In "One Space Day At A Time", Pops and Eileen stumble upon the frozen cave couple, Gregg and Diane, from "Caveman".



** [[WesternAnimation/RegularShowTheMovie The Movie]] has a rather sketchy relationship with the shows timeline. There are obvious omisions like the movie ending with Mordecai and Rigby getting to keep [[FutureBadass Future Rigby's]] [[CoolSpaceship Time-traveling Space Gunship]] yet they never have it in the show. And there are more subtle {{PlotHoles}}; The movie featuring an EarlyBirdCameo of the Space Tree Station, the SPARK Initiative and the Galactic Park Rangers and even has the heroes (minus Rigby) outright join up with the Rangers at the climax the movie to fight Ross, yet they apparently have no recollection of this when they are actually recruited by the Rangers in Season 8. The most mention the movie gets are scant, overhand references like a ContinuityCameo from Ross in the Season 7 finale and Mordecai and Rigby mentioning the 'timeline where they were space pilots' in the first episode of Season 8.
