History Heartwarming / RegularShow

Who says a cartoon can't have [[SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments heartwarming moments]]? Especially a cartoon as bizarre as ''WesternAnimation/RegularShow''?

* After the [[NightmareFuel hellish]] [[TearJerker conclusion]] of "Think Positive," Pops has enough grace to admit that his decisions as park manager were wrong, and that Benson is a ''much'' better fit for the position than himself. [[CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming Then he and Benson shake hands, smiling]].

** [[TearJerker "I LOVE YOU GUYS!"]] Everything about that line is just the most jarringly harmonious mix of CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming and TearJerker.

** Rigby consoling Mordecai after CJ (once again) breaks up with Mordecai and the two share a soda and watch as [[FunnyMoments Benson cries over the damage done to his car after a frozen turducken crashed into it]].

* The final scenes of the finale. [[spoiler: Pops hugs his brother and doesn't let go until they're both gone. The Park Dome returns to Earth, three years after it left. As soon as Margaret found out, she bolted from the Channel 6 News Set to be there. When the gang (minus Pops) emerged, a crowd cheered for them. Mordecai was embraced by his parents, Rigby got a hug from his very proud father, Starla ran to Muscle Man with their daughter in tow, and after the reunited couple kissed, Muscle Man held his daughter and wept tears of joy. Skips and Techmo had a bro-hug, Margaret and Eileen had a sis-hug, and Celia leaped into Fives' arms for a spinning hug. Benson hugged his pig, and Rigby and Eileen kissed. Mr. Maellard looks very sad, knowing Pops did not return. A statue of Pops was erected in the park, with the plaque "He chased butterflies, he loved to laugh, he saved the universe, he was our friend, Pops Maellard."]]
** The series finally concludes with a WhereAreTheyNowEpilogue. [[spoiler: Mordecai finally realizes his dream of becoming an artist, and becomes fairly successfull. A few years later, he meets the love of his life (a fellow artist) at one of his shows, and the two marry and have several children together. Rigby marries Eileen and they have two daughters whom Rigby introduces to videogames as soon as they are able to play. Benson marries Pam, and while the two never have kids, they raise several cats together, along with Bensons pet pig Applesauce. Muscle Man and Starla have five more children over the next few years. Fives and Celia become a popular DJ duo and eventually have a child together as well. Skips remains at the park, helping Benson train a new crew of park workers. The series concludes with the gang meeting for a 25th anniversery reunion at the park to raise a statue of Mr Maellard, who has now passed on. They are joined by their children and grandchildren. Mordecai and Rigby remain best friends to this day.]]

** The song used for [[spoiler: the montage]] helps too. Who'd a thunk J.G. was a fan of [[spoiler: Music/DavidBowie]] to use [[spoiler: [[Music/{{Heroes}} "Heroes"]]]]?

** Even if the ending makes it bittwersweet, it's hard not to smile at the "date montage" in the beginning, which plays this a bit more straight.

* Both Mordecai and Rigby realizing that they really screwed things up when Benson has a complete emotional breakdown upon believing he's going to lose his job in "Broken Cart". And then putting their lives on the line to keep that from happening.

[[caption-width-right:224:[[ItMakesSenseInContext There is some context behind this]].[[labelnote:context]]the context being that the Rigby in this picture isn't actually Rigby; he's a doppelganger, and since the real Rigby would never hug Mordecai, Mordecai was able to tell which Rigby was real.[[/labelnote]]]]

* Though Pops hadn't completed the milk challenge, the guys still would have let him join in on guys' night just because they saw how much he wanted it.

* The entire rapping contest episode definately qualifies as this.

** [[spoiler: Furthermore, the montage of how the gang go on with their lives. Mordecai and Rigby go their separate ways when they leave the park, Mordecai becoming an artist and meeting the love of his life, a bat woman, and Rigby becoming a father, watching his daughter play his video games. Muscle Man and Starla had five more muscle kids, Hi-Five Ghost and Celia have a show in Prague while Skips ends up staying at the park with Benson. Cut to a 25-year reunion of the park crew. Benson and Pam now have a bunch of cats along with their pet pig, and Rigby and Eileen's kids are breaking a Pops pinata with the Muscle Children and HFG and Ciela's kid (while Mordecai's blue jay-bat kids are texting by themselves), and a statue of Mr. Maellard is erected next to Pops' statue. Engaging in one last sequence of nods and a "WHOOOOOOOOOA", Mordecai and Rigby look for the video games in the garage. From the afterlife, Pops has finished watching a VHS with the label "Regular Show"]]

* Mordecai and Margaret's interactions in "Death Bear". And then there's the end when [[spoiler:Mordecai ''tackles'' Death Bear to save Eileen's life.]]

** After Pops is hurt and crying hysterically, it's [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold Benson]] who immediately rushes to him to comfort him to tell him it's going to be okay.

* The revelation of why Skips always skips from "Diary". [[spoiler: Apparently, some of his happiest moments were skipping with a past love, who he most likely outlived due to being [[{{Immortality}} immortal]]. He skips all the time, as something to remember her by.]]

** After Pops is hurt and crying hysterically, it's Benson who immediately rushes to him to comfort him.
** The fact that Pops [[NiceGuy has absolutely no resentment towards Muscle Man]] even after what happened to him. As the paramedics are taking him away, he assures Muscle Man that "it's quite alright."

* In "Gut Model": HFG telling Muscle Man that he would be miserable without him and he is his best friend.

* Towards the end of "A Skips in Time":

* In "Bank Shot": When Rigby is in trouble on a Bank Shot bet, his first reaction is [[spoiler: to call up his brother Don.]]

* "Really Real Wrestling": Pops apologizes to Benson and says that Mordecai and Rigby aren't to blame.

** Santa deciding to break the rules and give Mordecai and Rigby the invisibility cloaks they've been asking him for since they were little was pretty nice of him. Especially since they just helped save Christmas

** The fact that after Pops is hurt and crying hysterically, it's Benson who immediately rushes to him to comfort him.

* Muscle Man's concern for Pops, and the fact that he gave up pranking for him. Considering the fact that Muscle Man is the kind of guy who gets his kicks from hurting people, and once LAUGHED WHILE RIGBY WAS CHOKING, that was rather touching.

* In "Merry Chistmas Mordecai", putting the Mordo drama aside, Muscle Man/Starla and HFG/Celia had really cute, light hearted moments and [[spoiler: Rigby kisses Eileen on the cheek.]]

** A subtle one during the montage, but still sweet. During the shots with Mordecai painting, one on the right are stylized heads of ''Margaret.'' Despite the fact they don't end up together, it is sweet she is still important enough to be a muse (even when he'solder, as one of his pieces has her color scheme.)

* The final scenes of the finale. [[spoiler: Pops hugs his brother and doesn't let go until they're both gone. The Park Dome returns to Earth, three years after it left. As soon as Margaret found out, she bolted from the Channel 6 News Set to be there. When the gang (minus Pops) emerged, a crowd cheered for them. Mordecai was embraced by his parents, Rigby got a hug from his very proud father, Starla ran to Muscle Man with their daughter in tow, and after the reunited couple kissed, Muscle Man held his daughter and wept tears of joy.
