* UngratefulBastard: Rigby, after being saved by his friends from Doug 'The Doppelganger' Sheblowski, manages to be an UngratefulBastard at ''Temp Check"

** "Rigby's Graduation Day Special": [[spoiler:The entire dome experiment through the season ended with the crew forced back to the park after Rigby graduated to push the button after being asked not to in the last few episodes... launching them into space while everyone else watched them leave and getting left behind! As Mr. Maellard looks on with tears in his eyes, Dr. Langer told him "He'll be fine." He was referring to Pops which means the planet he saw may have something to do with it! Oh and, Eileen is with the crew as she was home before them although not knowing what's going on.]]

** From the end of "Eileen Flatscreen": [[spoiler: "I'm Margaret Smith and it's great to be back in town."]]

** Benson gets ''another one'' in "Eggscelent" after [[spoiler:he claims that Rigby being put into a life threatening coma is his own fault. Mordecai actually ''punches'' him and tells him that the only reason anybody puts up with him is because he signs their paychecks.]]
** Mordecai gets this from Skips in "Video Game Wizard" when he jeopardizes his friendship with Rigby to win the Maximum Glove.

--> '''Park Avenue:''' Yes, I am the one who did it! I am the graffiti artist! I fill the world with knowledge! I paint the truth! I paint rebellion! I...
--> '''Benson:''' I am calling the cops.

** As Mordecai, Rigby and Muscleman are running from the exploding K.I.L.I.T. radio station, the song Muscle Man wrote for Starla plays in the background.

** "Rigby's Graduation Special": [[spoiler:The entire dome experiment through the season ended with the crew forced back to the park after Rigby graduated to push the button after being asked not to in the last few episodes... launching them into space while everyone else watched them leave and getting left behind! As Mr. Maellard looks on with tears in his eyes, as Dr. Langer told him "He'll be fine." He was referring to Pops which means the planet he saw may have something to do with it! Oh and, Eileen is with the crew as she was home before them although not knowing what's going on.]]

* ScrewTheRulesIHaveMoney: In "Country Club", the country clubmembers are a bunch of {{Rich Jerk}}s who believe that they can mess with anyone, steal anyone's prized possession, and turn said possession into a toilet all for their amusement just because they are rich.

* PlotTailoredToTheParty: The Christmas special- in order to reach the lava, the group needs Benson's skills in non-video game arcade games (as seen in 'Stick Hockey'), Pops' wrestling abilities (as seen in 'Really Real Wrestling') and Muscle Man's Dance Dance Revolution-esque skills (as seen in 'Fuzzy Dice').

* SarcasticTitle: "Regular Show" decidedly ''isn't'' that regular, almost every episode's issue escalating out of the main cast's control into some oft-supernatural or surreaal threat.

** In "But I Have A Receipt" we get simultaneous Take Thats at TableTopRPG fans (being [[SeriousBusiness overly defensive]]), detractors (who [[ItsHardSoItSucks demand games be simple and easy to pick up]]) ''and'' the games themselves (primarily ones with LoadsAndLoadsOfRules and PaletteSwaps).

--> '''Rigby''': How am I doing? Huh, Mordecai? Am I doing all right? "Yeah, Rigby, you're doing good!"

--> '''Rigby:''' What a windbag!, I thought he’d never shut up. I can’t believe you guys thought he was me. You must feel like idiots, right?

** In "Cool Bikes", Mordecai and Rigby become so cool that it threatens to create a coolness singularity which will collapse Earth into a coolness black hole and destroy the universe.

* OlderThanTheyLook: As of "The Night Owl", [[spoiler: Mordecai, Rigby, Muscle Man, and High-Five Ghost have aged another 2200 years, having been frozen with liquid nitrogen, unfrozen in the year 4224, and then time-traveled back into the past.]] Potentially subverted if the show followed the other group from the end on.

** In "But I Have a Receipt", Mordecai and Rigby [[spoiler: try to return ''The Realm of Darthon'']] but they didn't read the fine print. [[spoiler: They already opened the game.]]

* OffModel: The pilot episode showed up again later with some added parts to lengthen it to fit with a standard episode. Between the new scenes and the old scenes, characters change appearances pretty noticeably, due to the pilot having a looser animation style.
** The initial broadcast of "Power Tower" aired with a serious color saturation problem, as well as the animation being generally unfinished (due to an unfinished version of the episode being mistakenly shipped out).

** [[spoiler: changing the Book of Park records and getting killed]] in "Appreciation Day".

** [[spoiler: getting Benson fired]] in "Benson Be Gone".

** [[spoiler: sneaking out to RRW Wrassle Frassle VII]] in "Really Real Wrestling".

** [[spoiler: changing his name to Trash Boat]] in "Trash Boat".

* '''RatedMForManly''': This show loves to pay homage to guy culture from TheEighties and beyond.

* SurpriseCreepy: The HalloweenEpisode is, in a word, legitimately creepy. The Regular Show NF page is dedicated to that one episode!
** "Brain Eraser" is one of the nastier episodes, in no small part because of its premise (Mordecai walking in on a naked Pops).

* NiceJobBreakingItHero: Rigby is usually the one who causes the crazy bleedly-blah to happen in the show. By this point it should be obvious that Rigby ruins everything he touches, though he does make up for it by fixing most of the mistakes and problems he creates such as [[spoiler: giving up the chocolate cake to save Skips' life and using mustard to defeat cannibal hot dogs.]] Examples include...

* ScrewTheRulesTheyreNotReal: {{Invoked}} in one episode. Mordicai and Rigby find themselves in a place without any rules after having many rules placed on them; the only rule is there aren't any rules. However, an issue arises which forces them to fight against that world's inhabitants. Because there wasn't a rule against rules, they were able to enforce several rules which altered the reality of the ruleless world, which allowed them to escape.
