* PermanentPlaceholder: ''Regular Show''[='=]s signature use of real-life (but predominantly [[TheEighties '80s]]) music began as this. During production of the first season, the crew simply used songs that they liked as temp music during the animatic process purely for timing purposes, but the executives thought the songs were so fitting that they offered to see if they would be able to license them for use, with many of the license holders being perfectly open to it.

* ThrowItIn: ''Regular Show''[='=]s signature use of real-life (but predominantly [[TheEighties '80s]]) music came as the result of a misunderstanding. During the storyboard animatic process in the early days, the creators threw in music they listened to as kids as an inside joke, reminiscing on the decade that inspired ''Regular Show''[='=]s overall style. When the animatics were presented to Cartoon Network, they weren't aware of the inside joke, and asked the creators if they wanted to see if CN could get them a license to use said songs in the show, to which they accepted in hilarious bewilderment.

* NamesTheSame: Thomas is the name of both the park's billy-goat intern (who turns out to be a Russian/Druznik spy) and Death's son. Rigby even says so in the episode where Mordecai and C.J. have to babysit Death's son Thomas and Rigby says, "Isn't he, like, in college?" before Mordecai corrects him.

** J.G. Quintel voices Mordecai and Hi-Five Ghost.

* TalkingToHimself: J.G. Quintel voices both Mordecai and High-Five Ghost (after the episodes in which Creator/JeffBennett voiced HFG), and Sam Marin voices Benson, Pops, and Muscle Man. Both they and Creator/MarkHamill (Skips) voice several background characters as well.
** Thomas and Garrett Bobby Ferguson Jr. are both voiced by Creator/RogerCraigSmith.
** Courtenay Taylor voiced both the angry lady and the cake shop worker in "Take the Cake".

** Cartoon Network began to rerun the series regularly in 2022, with occasional weekend marathons and later in the fall, airing the show on weeknights in primetime.

** If you want to see the uncut version of ''The Power''[[note]]where Rigby actually says, "Now, how in the H are we gonna fix this S?"[[/note]], the only place you'll get to is on the Slack Pack DVD, as for the uncut versions of ''Free Cake'' and ''Meat Your Maker'' unless you copied it the first time you're out of luck unless you find it through [[DigitalPiracyIsEvil illegal means]]. Bizarrely, ''Meat Your Maker'' was available uncensored on Creator/{{Netflix}} before the series was removed, while the other two episodes had the censored versions.

* PopCultureUrbanLegends: It's commonly believed that ''Regular Show'' was originally going to be an Creator/AdultSwim series that only ended up on Cartoon Network due to scheduling issues, as a way to explain the more adult content present in the show (especially the earlier episodes). In reality, the series was always under development for the daytime network; the content was a result of Cartoon Network's experimentation with the TV-PG rating at the time, as can be seen with other pilots created as part of ''WesternAnimation/{{Cartoonstitute}}''.

* MeaningfulReleaseDate: The episode "This is My Jam", which features the song "Lovin' in the Summertime", premiered in Latin America on December 22, 2011, exactly one day after summer began in the Southern Hemisphere.

* ScrewedByTheNetwork: The kind that got gradually worse as time went on. Similar to Adventure Time, this is most likely due to the saturation of the schedule with Teen Titans Go! reruns, its age (the show premiered in 2010 which is pretty old for industry standards), or MoralGuardians. Starting in February 2015, Regular Show was banished to a 7:45 to 8:00 PM timeslot, the only time it was shown.
** That was pretty bad, but in mid-2015, the show was entirely removed from the schedule unless there were new episodes (shown during a very irregular bomb week). All of its previous slots were taken up by Teen Titans Go, to no one's surprise.
** It was confirmed the series would end in 2017. In the meantime, though, it regained its 7:30 timeslot in fall 2015, just in time to rejoice with Adventure Time reruns finally coming back in September, alongside Baby Looney Tunes, Courage the Cowardly Dog, and new episodes of Ninjago, along with much less Teen Titans Go reruns, it seemed to have finally been averted.
** ....But, with the start of 2016, it proved it was too good to be true. New episodes, shorts and reruns were briefly aired from 6:00 to 8:00 PM in a block dubbed ''Regular Time Adventure Show''. Soon after, the block (as well as Adventure Time) vanished without a trace, and Regular Show only got to air a single 15-minute episode right before Adult Swim started on weekdays, and at this point, CN didn't even see it fit to advertise Regular Show.
** It got worse. For a very long while, Regular Show was only aired at 6:30 in the morning on weekdays, right after Uncle Grandpa (which, if you're wondering, also only aired at 6:00 AM), before reruns shored up entirely in mid-late 2016. The final Regular Show marathon ever was shown a few weeks before Regular Show: In Space (Season 8) premiered in September 2016. When Season 8 aired, reruns of the other 7 seasons all vanished for good.
** But ultimately, the final season got it the worst. Regular Show's last 31 episodes were burned off weekly with minimal advertising, typically right after a Teen Titans Go marathon meant to promote it. But aside from that, everything was smooth sailing.... until the finale aired in January 2017. The final 4 episodes were aired on Martin Luther King Jr day (a Monday), rather than the usual Thursday-Friday premiere date at the time. Right after the finale aired, reruns of the series, let alone any mention of the series at all, completely vanished without a trace.

* EditedForSyndication: This occasionally happens. In all later airings of "The Power", "How in the H are we gonna fix this S?" is changed to "How in the heck are we gonna fix this stuff?"[[note]]the closed captioning on TV and Netflix has the original line, and the DVD and Blu-Ray version has the actual line intact.[[/note]], and "pissed" is changed to "ticked." The same goes for "you pissed me off" in "Meat Your Maker", but, oddly, "Benson's gonna be pissed" is left intact in "Free Cake." Both instances are odd, considering that Mordecai's "Holy crap, it's real!" and "You're screaming like a fricking maniac" haven't been edited in American reruns of the episode "'Ello, Guv'nur."
** When the show recently joined Cartoon Network's retro channel Creator/{{Boomerang}}'s lineup, all of the above mentioned episodes aired in their censored forms.

** After "The Power", "Free Cake", and "Meat Your Maker", Quintel and the crew weren't allowed to use the words "pissed off" anymore (which is why all instances of it were redubbed to "ticked off"--though the season one DVD and [=BluRay=] set has it uncut), nor any other pseudo-swear words (though "screwed" when used in the expression "screwed up" and "sucks" when used to mean something that's bad, unfair, or of poor quality are heard from time to time).

** While the entire series was released on DVD in region 4, only the first three seasons have been released on DVD in region 1, [[NoExportForYou leaving the other five seasons unreleased in box set form.]] While select episodes from seasons 4-6 have been put on a couple of DVD compilations, there doesn't appear to be a complete release in sight in America. With that said, the entire series is available through video-on-demand and streaming.

* AdoredByTheNetwork: In the early half of TheNewTens (from 2010 until early 2015), ''Regular Show'', ''WesternAnimation/AdventureTime'' and ''WesternAnimation/JohnnyTest'' were all Creator/CartoonNetwork's flagship series, with daily reruns, frequent marathons and lots of promotions...at least until ''The Amazing World of Gumball'' and ''Teen Titans Go!'' (and, to a lesser extent, ''Steven Universe'') flooded the network.

* EditedForSyndication: This occasionally happens (and not just in the countries mentioned in BadExportForYou and BannedInChina above; America did do some slight editing). In all later airings of "The Power", "How in the H are we gonna fix this S?" is changed to "How in the heck are we gonna fix this stuff?"[[note]]though the closed captioning on TV and Netflix has the original line, and the DVD and Blu-Ray version has the actual line intact.[[/note]], and "pissed" is changed to "ticked."

* EditedForSyndication: This occasionally happens (and not just in the countries mentioned in BadExportForYou and BannedInChina above; America did do some slight editing). In "Prank Callers", when the Master Prank Caller was taking a bath, the shot of the bathroom floor had a condom wrapper on it. In all reruns, it's cropped out/digitally removed
** In "Fortune Cookie", the word "chink" (an offensive term for someone who's Chinese) was digitally removed from a dim sum cart that passed by.
** In all later airings of "The Power", "How in the H are we gonna fix this S?" is changed to "How in the heck are we gonna fix this stuff?"[[note]]though the closed captioning on TV and Netflix has the original line, and the DVD and Blu-Ray version has the actual line intact.[[/note]], and "pissed" is changed to "ticked."

** In the UK, the infamous line "Now, how in the H are we gonna fix this S?" was changed to "Now, how in the H are we going to fix this hole?" (which still [[GettingCrapPastTheRadar gets crap past the radar]] by keeping the TWordEuphemism for "hell") well before Cartoon Network America decided to edit it to "How the heck are we gonna fix this stuff?"
