i’ve seen people complaining about the animation in the teasers, however i’m pretty sure the clips that apparently come from the show itself are perfectly fine. the only ones that look off are the ones that are exclusive to the teasers, i think.
like this? this definitely looks off. however i do believe this segment is purely just for the teaser. because there is no other context where it makes sense lmfao
whereas this? this looks perfectly fine to me. and this is from the show itself apparently.
so in conclusion i do think the animation which looks off is just the ones used for the promotion. i’m pretty sure the original series was like that too?
i’ve also noticed that they’re trying to be more fluent with the animation like they were in the earlier seasons and even take inspiration from the style. it’s probably difficult to replicate so that’s why it could look a little off at times, but overall i think they did a decent job. i mean the clip from the luau episode looked fine to me.
also…
“blade gamez”? yeah i’m pretty sure those leaked episode titles are actually real. that’s crazy, and i’m lowkey hyped.
looks like it’s something to do with knives. makes sense lmfao. maybe we’ll get some stick hockey esque tournament.
oh my GOD that new clip they just dropped 😭😭 WHAT DO YA’LL MEAN LIVE ACTION BENSON THAT GAVE ME THE JUMPSCARE OF MY LIFE
however one thing to note is that… mentioning the luau… is that it potentially means that these “leaked” titles of episodes are true
to which i am going to discuss it… whether or not they’re actually real and this is all for nothing is still unknown but it seems like they’re legit?
it seems to be missing 10 episodes as well, since there’s 34 on here but apparently there’s going to be 44.
anyway, prediction yapping under cut
“fix that tape”
i really don’t have much to say about the first episode, but it seems like an introduction to the idea of the series being about lost tapes. obviously it implies that one of them are broken, maybe to do with mordecai and rigby or maybe not.
maybe it’s something to do with pops in heaven that we saw at the end where he takes the tape out of the recorder. maybe we see him fixing the older tapes to replay and reminisce about other memories (aka the new episodes).
“skips’s luau”
this is the one we got the clip from, and the only context we had was that mordecai and rigby needed to take the trash out and then go to the luau. i had to google what one was, but it seems to be a traditional hawaiian celebration, which is honestly unexpected to see but i’d like to see where it goes. the fact skips is holding it might also reveal some connection he has to hawaii, maybe not personally, but he’s clearly interested in their culture, which is cool to see.
i’m really not sure if that live action clip happens, i doubt it though lmfao. it doesn’t make sense in the context given as mordecai and rigby are actually doing their work. if it does then, well, i’m sure some kids are gonna get scared by that.
“blade games”
this could really be anything, it could even be outside of video games. there’s probably going to be a fair few fights, which will be fun to see. might also not be centred on mordecai and rigby, but really we have no information lol.
“nap spot”
this is probably something along the lines of mordecai and rigby trying to find places to sleep during work hours but benson keeps catching them. maybe even just rigby.
or they’re having trouble sleeping in general and need to find a good spot in the house/park.
they might even consult skips or muscle man about it, skips cause he knows how to calm down and sleep or whatever, and muscle man cause that guy could probably sleep upside down.
it seems like a classic and straight-forward plot which is always nice to see.
“coffee shop wars”
if i’m not mistaken, it was announced that eileen would get her own episode, so this must be it. margaret might also be here depending on when it’s set in the series, which tbh i hope she is because this is their chance to develop her character enough to the point she’s not seen as lame like most people think she is.
i’m guessing the plot is that they’re beefing with another coffee shop, and a war (similar to the prank war i suppose - wait, will we see gene again?) happens.
“boba or bo-burst”
we saw mordecai and rigby with boba on the new poster, so it is fair to say this one would be about them. maybe about how much they could buy or consume in one go? based on the title?
could get kinda weird if it’s the latter, but i’m gonna hope that JG isn’t like that lmfao.
“corpse flower”
i… really have no clue, lmfao. maybe something with a flower that came back from the dead? maybe a sentient flower? as a cuphead fan this did catch my attention lol, but i could imagine some sort of afterlife plant thing visiting mordecai and rigby. maybe they killed it, but weren’t too bothered cause to them it was just a flower? maybe death makes an appearance?
“beginson”
okay, this one has to be a benson episode.
i originally read it as “begging-son”, but looking back at it i think that was dumb and it’s actually the word “begin”.
are we… are we getting a benson backstory episode? like, his “beginning”? in the park, maybe? they never really clarified about it.
to which i say… holy shit, sign me up.
“good mitch spiking”
definitely a muscle man episode…. uhm, does spiking refer to the shit people do to drinks? that would be… probably a plot they can’t do. and also, i don’t think it makes sense to be that with the way the title is laid out.
so honestly spiking could mean anything, but either way i’m glad to see more muscle man, his episodes are always the funniest.
“stilt walkers”
this might be something about rigby wanting to be taller, meaning it would be set earlier in the series before he kind of got over himself, in which he would then use stilts to try get to mordecai’s height but it goes wrong one way or another. maybe he gets dragged to a circus? who knows.
or it’s just some random stuff about them using stilt walkers, which is equally likely lol.
“spice it up: beyond underdome”
yeahh, i really got no clue. probably the name of a convention or something that they go to? this one really needs more context lmfao.
“secret menu item”
perhaps something to do with the coffee shop again? i assume they’d revisit it more than once, especially since i would think that the writers are aware of how much some people complained about how they wrote female characters.
but yeah, maybe it’s something to do with a hidden ingredient for a meal in the coffee shop, and mordecai and rigby are trying to figure it out or something.
“smoke alarm on the water”
it’s important to note that this is apparently part of an arc, but at this point there is no indication to what the arc is.
the title is interesting, since it seems to counter itself, as water obviously can’t set off smoke alarms, nor can smoke alarms produce water. so it seems to indicate an usual situation which will take several episodes to get out of. alarms also signify distress and a breaking of the order, so like… this could be anything.
i’m excited!
“party horse 4: third chime’s a charm”
i’ve never seen the second party horse episode, but i have seen the first, and honestly it was pretty good. looking forward to see where they’re taking it this time.
“clean the living room”
this seems like another straight forward episode, where mordecai and rigby need to clean the living room but they want to go out to the cinema or something.
i like the fact it’s about the house rather than the park, since no one really ever told them to clean the living room if i remember correctly and all the instances of them cleaning it was on their accord. i mean it was probably to not get in trouble from benson, but obviously this time they didn’t get so lucky lol.
“artist’s block”
i HOPE this is about mordecai. maybe more about his time in art school. if they seem willing to do a backstory episode for benson, then i hope they are for mordecai. i really wanna see that lol.
or it could be similar to benson’s portrait (is that the name of the episode?) where he needs to draw something for one reason or another and is just… stuck on what to do.
i’ve been there mordecai lmfao
“that’s funny”
maybe muscle man centric? but either way i’m guessing this episode is gonna be about jokes.
“cool boss”
obviously about benson, and honestly could be anything from the obvious of him trying to be cool to maybe exploring the time of series where he genuinely did start to warm up to mordecai and rigby. i really hope it’s the latter as i feel that they sort of established that early benson doesn’t seem to care about being cool, so seeing him beginning to be more like his later season self would be interesting.
“terror tales of the park - part 1 & 2”
holy shit YES
that’s all i have to say, moving on
“skips’s van”
mordecai and rigby probably take the van for a spin then it breaks down. or is that copying the plot of benson’s car. thing is, even if that is what happens, skips would react completely differently to that happening, so even then i think the plot would be different.
or the van gets stolen or something. or it’s connected to something magical. possibilities are endless when it comes to skips lmfao
“super strong johns”
it’s actually really cool that they’re revisiting strong johns, since rigby was so hyped about it then it just cut short of them actually playing it. so seeing how it goes would be cool.
i had an idea that it might be like a reverse hammer episode? where instead of the video game coming to life, they go inside of the game, so it sort of mixes the hammer episode with the dungeons and dragons parody one. i think that could be cool.
i’m assuming it would be set straight after the unicorns episode, so potentially that ties into it? like they need to clean the house but they wanna go play strong johns? or maybe it’s completely unrelated and i’m just thinking too deep lmfao
“car wash”
seems like it could be about benson’s car, but i actually think it would be about muscle man’s. his car is filthy and benson probably tells him to go clean it.
maybe he does manage to clean it, but by the time he gets back from some adventure, it’s all messy again and benson just gives up lmfao. that seems like a plot they would do, in which i think that would be a funny episode lol.
“all you can fit”
i really have no idea, but maybe related to a shop? cause it sounds like some kind of deal. like you can buy all you can fit in some flimsy trolley or something. and mordecai and rigby are trying to find a way around the system to buy more than they can fit.
“don’s back”
it’s nice to see don making a reappearance, but there really isn’t any indication as to what happens as the title is literally just “yeah so don returned” LOL. but i’m assuming some more stuff between him and rigby, which would be nice.
i first read the title as if it was on about his back to which i was very concerned but i do think it is just saying he’s returned
“life & death of robot dog”
i mean, it’s all in the title. maybe mordecai and rigby buy some robot dog as a pet (perhaps to get around the ‘no pets’ rule) and we witness its life and death. sounds interesting.
“before sunrise”
again, an episode that’s part of the arc, but we really get given no more context. the titles seem to be more serious than the others for this arc, which is good to see honestly. i’m really interested to see what it’s about.
“recycle yo!”
mordecai and rigby probably learn to recycle after throwing trash everywhere, lmfao. that or they try to get other people to recycle. sounds like a fun episode either way.
“hi fives’s throat”
oh my god a hi fives episode… holy hell…
i’m assuming this is about his ghost powers, to which i’m so glad they’re addressing them LMFAO. not much else to say but i hope this will be good, fives deserves justice.
“carter & briggs are here”
nice to see carter & briggs return. not much else is given on what they do, but again, it would be nice to see them once more.
“wet phone”
probably something about a phone not working after being sprayed with water. sounds like a mordecai episode to me cause he tends to have incidents with phones lmfao.
“dig deep”
could be literally or metaphorically? literally being, they’re searching for something in the ground, and metaphorically being that they’re looking deep into something. honestly have no clue but it sounds interesting.
“ketch of the day”
apparently a ketch is a type of boat? so maybe it’s some kind of ocean adventure. i don’t think we’ve ever had that? so that sounds cool.
“thanks for the memories”
all of the following episodes are part of the arc… this one seems to be about moving on. not enough context is given about who it’s about tho, but like, obviously not lmfao. man this could potentially get emotional.
“master curator”
this sounds interesting… perhaps something with art. maybe it’s about mordecai?
“12,000 seconds”
3 hours and 20 minutes. maybe something needs to be done in that time? who knows. the fact it’s counted in seconds though could show some signs of desperation as seconds are such a short period of time.
or maybe i’m in too deep LOL
“the afterheist”
heist? in my regular show? yeah why the hell not.
“japlan”
i have no idea what this means. apparently it’s related to japan? god i really wonder what this arc is about lmfao
“the ultimate format war - part 1 & 2”
oh hell yeah. again that’s all i have to say
oh and this isn’t part of the arc lol
sooo in conclusion, i’m just interested lmfao. some episodes sound really cool and some are just super ambiguous that i’m hella curious. thanks to anyone who put in the effort to read allat, i’d like to hear your thoughts i guess?
or these are all fake and all of this prediction stuff was nonsense. i mean, i hope not? cause they do sound interesting and i would be fine with these being actual episodes.
fellas i finally watched the first 5 episodes and oh my god
***
holy fucking shit that was absolute cinema. i genuinely loved it LMAOO
me and my friend watched it together and we were laughing our asses off the whole time. as well as taking like 10 million screenshots of benson because of course we did
here are our favourites,
bro looking DEVIOUS while skips is like “um. okay”
anyway i genuinely thought it was amazing. yeah the animation was a little off at times, but i honestly thought that was part of the magic. it really did feel like something out of the older seasons (in fact i’m pretty sure all of these episodes were set during the older seasons, given how the characters acted) which was great.
anyway, stuff about individual episodes:
FIX THAT TAPE / SKIPS’S LUAU
i was right about pops in heaven, but oh my god it was so cute. him tearing up over the idea of forgetting everyone was so bittersweet. also that dude with the frisbees was funny lol
also the innuendos? i have more to say about this later but they actually caught me so off guard LOL
like wdym “deez nuts” show 😭😭
also dude i CALLED it that benson would get a new love interest. she lasted 1 episode but that was expected too lmao. seeing the return of his hawaiian t-shirt was amazing though.
but yeah of course the first episode of the regular show reboot included the FBI coming in with missiles. also dude they had actual guns as well?? that was crazy. loved it though
also the whole thing of the company guy making fun of mordecai and rigby LMAOO that’s oddly relevant huh
BLADE GAMES
NOT what i expected at all but benson was really funny. i fucking knew he was gaslighting their asses at the end LMFAO
also the videos about the workplace conduct were so uncomfortable but, like, in a good way. like the mention of workplace harassment followed by benson looking concerned was actually really funny. again, a line that i couldn’t believe managed to get in. my friend had to actually double check that the show was being aired by cartoon network cause we were in disbelief lol
also another destruction of benson’s car to the list. it ain’t regular show without it. though pretty sure benson planned that one
NAP SPOT
that was an acid trip LOL, but then again what did i expect
it was nice development to muscle man’s early arc with mordecai and rigby cause he said how they were his best friends. this one was definitely set during the early seasons.
also gotta appreciate the high fives spotlight, AND we’re getting more of that later
COFFEE SHOP WARS
oh i loved this one. both margaret AND eileen spotlight that had nothing to do with romance. absolute cinema. also nice to see a bit more of margaret’s personality with the way she disguised herself, that was funny lol
and eileen saying to “lock in”… beautiful
also it was really cool to see more of the coffee shop, like in terms of the kitchen at the back and stuff
BOBA OR BO-BURST
BOBA CASANOVA LMFAOOO
it was such whiplash and i absolutely loved him. i’m 100% gonna draw him at some point.
also am i crazy or was that like an analogy for drugs?? tbh not the first in this show LOL remember the fireworks episode
but holy shit i need to talk about the balls jokes. it didn’t even click to me that there would be balls jokes until benson LITERALLY SAID “WHY ARE THERE BALLS IN MY MOUTH” LMFAOOO
lowkey that was the hardest i’ve laughed in ages, it caught me SO off guard and it was so beautiful
10/10 so far. dare i even say 11/10. JG and the rest of the crew continue to cook you are killing it
again, watched it with my friend, and honestly? i do think the first five episodes were better, but that’s not to say these recent ones were bad
anyway stuff about the individual episodes
CORPSE FLOWER
this was probably the best one of the lot besides stilt walkers. margaret had more moments that i appreciated, and lowkey she was kinda relatable lmfao
very sweet rigleen episode though! probably one of the first instances of rigby doing something for eileen (chronologically) and girl was NOT afraid to express her crush LMAOO
the whole “say what” joke also felt like something from the original show, it was great
but the highlight of the episode was obviously the cops thinking that the corpse flower was a dead body. the moment they pulled up and smelt the boot i KNEW they were gonna think that rigby had murdered someone LOL. again it’s something i can’t believe they got away with, like openly talking about rigby being a murderer and the smell of a dead body or whatever. the censors HAVE to be more lenient cause oh my god
anyway yeah i really enjoyed this one
BEGINSON
me and my friend were SO excited about this one, but honestly…? it was a little bit of a let down? i dunno, i wanted to see more of hair to the throne themselves, but i think the main issue i had was that it kinda fucked with the continuity. now obviously continuity isn’t a priority for regular show but it just didn’t really make sense that that’s what happened imo. like why did the park look so desolate lol
i can’t remember the details of what the original show established, but i think it was something along the lines of benson gets kicked out of hair to the throne, ends up at the park cause he has nothing else, but finds it a lame job (implying he’s not manager) so he went to the gameshow to try win enough money to quit. then he went back cause he lost but eventually grew accustomed to it. dunno i might be missing some points but this episode did kind of retcon all of the stuff with the gameshow which sucks cause i loved the gameshow lore lol
i mean it is just benson telling a story so he might be capping in some parts, or just is looking back with rose tinted glasses on how he felt
also me and my friend were PRAYING for bro to remove the headband like benson i hate to break it to you but that ain’t a cool hairstyle 😭🙏
however i will give credit where credit is due:
one thing i did love was how it touched on benson’s perfectionism. like obviously he’ll have always had it and the fact it messed with his band life is actually a really interesting concept. like it did sort of show the way he was growing out of the care-free life he wanted to live just because deep down he couldn’t actually live that way. pretty sure benson be gone showed that off to us so it was nice to see it in his past
also him killing that guy was CRAZY cause my friend literally yelled “ITS THINK POSITIVE!” when he started levitating. so again, a nice way to show that benson’s always been that way
and the moments that we did have with hair to the throne themselves were pretty good. and benson with the chicken wings. of course
overall, i was disappointed, but it wasn’t that bad
GOOD MITCH SPIKING
so yeah… it was volleyball. honestly i like to see the sporty side of muscle man, bro has mobility
questioning of purpose was a nice addition to his character, and the idea that back then he never really did anything for himself. the metaphor of him sinking under the sand cause he couldn’t handle the pressure was actually pretty cool, i liked that a lot
starla was lowkey justified in getting fed-up but it’s cool that she wanted muscle man to do it for himself rather than for her.
also dude i was bashing the continuity earlier but the fact her boyfriend was actually called steve and it added up was so funny, i loved that
also WOW coffee bean jumpscare i did not want to see that guy again
the fucking “stop translating and help me” joke was hilarious though
STILT WALKERS
this lowkey felt like a classic episode, it was really funny, but it is interesting that they seemed to have jumped straight to season 5. i’m guessing season 5? or maybe season 6. cause CJ was there. but anyway, it was nice to see her tho, hope she makes a reappearance
but yeah this episode was good. the fucking shot where mordecai kicked like 3 guys in the balls and it showed nuts being cracked open absolutely SENT ME that’s been the funniest balls joke yet (besides the benson balls in mouth one, obviously)
also man all of the stuff between rigby and his father that was on the tape. i knew that shit was bad when all the soda cans were there. also very sweet that everyone decided to help him once they realised how fucked up rigby actually was cause of that 😭
what i really liked though was the way mordecai acted. like you could tell it was late season from the way he was being rude towards rigby but he actually ended up literally fighting for him and i thought that was a really nice aspect to his later season self. like yeah he was focused on his awful ass love life so he was kind of being a jerk to his friend, but when he saw that tape and realised what it all meant to rigby he didn’t waste a second to help him. golly that’s overanalysing if i’ve ever seen it
but yeah! this batch was kinda hit and miss but i’m still hella excited for the upcoming eps. hopefully the cool boss episode will make up for my slight disappointment lol
i mean, obviously the first thought when seeing this is “holy shit it’s gonna be for adults”, but then again, didn’t cartoon network green light it?
so i’m not sure it airing on adult swim really means anything
but if it truly is for adults then i? i don’t know how to feel about that
one half of me is thinking “oh my god we can hear them swear hahah” and other stuff
but the other half of me is thinking “the adult jokes aren’t gonna be that funny anymore”
cause let’s be real, the thing that made them funny was the fact they got past the censors
i’ve never really watched close enough, so if it was to air on adult swim, and actually be for more mature audiences, then surely that means it would be similar to that. but like i said i also think that this is kinda misleading ‘cause i’m pretty sure cartoon network were the ones to allow this series to be made.
but who the hell knows! maybe we really are getting regular show for adults. that’s crazy. i actually kinda wanna see what that looks like. people on reddit are already making jokes about it lmfao
