Rigby

Rigby is one of the main characters from the Regular Show series.
== Charactah Account ==
A short raccoon, Mordecai's best friend since childhood, and his closest coworker as a result. Being energetic and immature, he's usually the one who instigates any sort of trouble that Mordecai or the other characters get into. He is a high school drop-out who never received his diploma at least until the show's penultimate season, and Mordecai thinks that's pretty funny.
Rigby can be best described as a "wild adult", even though he is past his teenage years. He becomes frustrated, frightened, confused or sad very easily, making his behavior very predictable. Rigby is also very arrogant, impulsive, impatient and immature at times, giving him the personality of a child. Thus, he can be considered the opposite of Mordecai, who demonstrates far more responsibility and maturity than him (in most conditions). He even changed his name to Trash Boat one time because he thought it would sound cool and edgy.
However, Rigby cares about his friends, as he tried to help Pops with his fear of giving speeches, saved Muscle Man from drowning, saved everyone from a pack of evil hot dogs, and got angry at Pops when he was taking wrestling too far and hurting Mordecai. He also felt bad for Benson after he said he was going to lose his job.

== Trivia ==
* In The Power, Rigby reveals that he is 23 years old, along with Mordecai.
* His main solo catchphrases are, "Stop talking!" and "I'LL KILL YOU!" With Mordecai, he often yells, "Oooooooh!" and "Hmph, Hmph, Hmph, Hmph" rythmically.
* As shown in "Death Punchies", people used to call him "The One Cheek Wonder" due to seriously damaging one of his butt cheeks during a game of "Punchies" against Skips.
* Despite being a raccoon he looks more like a South American coati.
* Rigby is so far the only main character to die more than once in the series.
** In Over the Top, Skips accidentally killed Rigby by slamming him through a table.
** In It's Time, Mordecai accidentally killed Rigby after shoving him off of a microwave and into a portal.
** In Terror Tales of the Park II, Rigby was killed after the tow truck crashed.
** In Terror Tales of the Park (In the House), Rigby was drowned by the giant egg. However, this was just a story told by Rigby.
* In "Don", it's revealed that he and Mordecai have known each other since they were children, and in "This Is My Jam", it is revealed they went to Junior High together and high school.
* In "Ello Gov'nor", Rigby isn't able to watch horror movies due to them causing him nightmares. At one point, he even had to be walked to the bathroom for a week, according to Mordecai. He also had to stop eating pancakes for a while because he was scared of the movie Death for Breakfast. ("Death Bear")
* Like most raccoons, he runs on all four limbs. However, he usually walks upright like everyone else on the show.
* Throughout the series, Rigby is shown to be disturbingly weak, judging from the episodes where Mordecai punches or hurts Rigby leading to him hitting the ground or moaning in pain, although it could be that Mordecai is actually very strong. However, Rigby is strong enough to carry Muscle Man in "Muscle Mentor". He seems to have gotten a little stronger in fights ever since "Muscle Mentor" and "The Best VHS In The World", when he was able to hit Mordecai and he felt it. Surprisingly, it isn't known how strong Hi Five Ghost is, so Rigby might not be the weakest in the series.
* Rigby has an alter ego, Fists, in his dreams that acts as a separate personality of Rigby as a "tough guy".
* In the episode "Portable Toilet" It is revealed that Rigby is claustrophobic.
* Despite not being very smart, Rigby is clever to a point, such as in "Jinx", when he couldn't hurt Mordecai by punching him - he chose to poke Mordecai in the eyes instead of punch him. He also comes up with ways to win at Broken Bonez and earn the Universe Record by using Garrett Bobby Ferguson's own information (universe rules - there are no rules) against him in "High Score"
* Rigby is the first main character to have died, as seen in "It's Time", but since Father Time gave Mordecai a do-over, and hands of time are turned, he technically didn't die at all. He also died in "Over the Top", but was revived by Skips when he cheated Death at an arm wrestling match.
* In "Meat Your Maker", he nearly killed Mordecai by breaking the thermostat in the meat locker, which would have caused Mordecai to die of hypothermia.
* Rigby was the first character to speak in the series (not counting the pilot).
* The majority of the problematic situations that have taken place in the show were caused by Rigby. Those were either by accident or by selfish needs that he feels he has to fulfill.
* In "More Smarter", it's stated that Rigby dropped out of high school. Also, he doesn't know the difference between a square and a rectangle.
** However, it was revealed in the movie that he was expelled (along with Mordecai).
* In spite of his lack of intelligence and education, Rigby knows the meanings of some idiomatic expressions, such as 'two peas in a pod' and 'water under the bridge.'
* Even if he tells lies that no one buys, Rigby was once successful in bailing himself out of trouble. This is when he accused Benson of buying the psycho hot dogs that nearly killed everyone. Although Mordecai knew about his scheme, Pops and Skips believed him and got angry at Benson.
* Due to his immature antics, he gets into more trouble with Benson than Mordecai.
* Unlike Mordecai, who placed an appearance before the show's pilot ("2 in the AM PM"), Rigby was never seen outside of the Regular Show before it started. In fact, Rigby is one of a few characters to never appear before the pilot episode along with Skips, Hi Five Ghost, and Muscle Man.
* In Don, it's revealed that Rigby walked around naked when he was five, which resulted in Mordecai and Don doing the same because they thought it was "cool". This may be the reason why neither of them wear clothes as of now.
* In "Free Cake", Mordecai tells Rigby to stop digging in the trash, but it's raccoons' nature to do that.
* In the episode "In the House", he is dressed as a thief, which is fitting, since raccoons are thieves by nature.
* It was hinted in "House Rules" that Rigby won't be around in the future.
* Goof: Although Mordecai and Rigby went to Junior High together, Rigby only has a 3rd-grade education. The 3rd grade education remark from Mordecai could have been:
** A joke to tease Rigby.
** A possible fact that after third grade, Rigby got lazier and wouldn't do his work.
** He just never understood what he was learning, and his teacher only passed him to the next grade so that they wouldn't have to deal with him anymore.
* Goof: It is revealed in "Eggscellent" that Rigby is allergic to eggs, and they cause him to go into a coma. However, in the episode "Terror Tales of the Park", segment "In the House", Rigby eats an egg, but does not seem to have any reaction. It may be because the segment was just a story, but even so, in "One Pull Up", he drinks 12 raw eggs and has no reaction. It would be interesting to know if he is allergic to eggs only when they are cooked. And in "Picking Up Margaret", where he was having eggs for breakfast, when they were cooked, therefore causing his allergy to be irrational.
* Rigby once changed his name to Trash Boat in the "episode of the same name" and then later changed it back at the end of the episode.
* Don tends to call him Rigbone while everyone, on occasion, calls him Rigs.
* Although he is bad at video games, he beat Mordecai in "It's Time" and "Jinx". He is also successful in finishing a few games when playing as a team with Mordecai.
* In Project Exonaut, he, Mordecai and Skips have their own exosuits.
* Rigby's deepest secret is that he thinks Eileen is hot without her glasses on.
* Some of Rigby's other secrets are:
** He likes doughnuts from the trash, mostly due to his raccoon nature
** When he was little, he stole his neighbor's bike and threw it off the roof.
** He hates taking showers as well as kittens.
** He was never on the football team.
** He finds himself to be a horrible person.
** He sometimes hides Pops' shoes because he thinks it's funny when he looks for them.
** His preferences of BLT sandwich are: no lettuce, no Tomatoes, hold the bread and double the bacon.
** His greatest fear is amusement park mascot
* In "The Best VHS in the World", he is seen progressively getting stronger, since he was able to punch Mordecai in the face.
* Rigby has a tendency to laugh at other people's names, such as Coco, Buttonwillow McButtonwillow, and even Muscle Man in "Muscle Woman" when he finds out his real name is Mitch.
* In "Butt Dial", Rigby mentioned that his hands were made for swiping, which is a real fact about raccoons because they like to steal things.
* Between Mordecai and Rigby, Rigby in many episodes has shown more characteristics of being an animal than Mordecai, being closer to the actual size of a raccoon (3'1.5") with Mordecai being 6'3", larger than a vast majority than birds everywhere. Rigby also uses his sharp claws and sharp teeth (like real raccoons) in "Ello Gov'nor". In "Ello Gov'nor" and "Really Real Wrestling", Rigby was shown to be a light sleeper, suggesting he's nocturnal (like real raccoons). And, like most raccoons, he is sneaky, omnivorous and speedy.
* Rigby can fall asleep with his eyes open, as seen in "Gamers Never Say Die" and "Sleep Cycle".
* Rigby has been fired seven (technically six) times in the series so far: in "Really Real Wrestling", "Weekend at Benson's", "Replaced", "Muscle Mentor" (albeit briefly), "Terror Tales of the Park II", "Firework Run", and "Regular Show: The Movie". The former three times, he was fired alongside Mordecai.
** "Terror Tales of the Park II" doesn't really count because he died at the end before it happened.
** In "Firework Run", he was fired alongside with Mordecai, Muscle Man, and Hi Five Ghost, which seemed unjust, since the episode's events were all Muscle Man's fault. Rigby even tried to convince Muscle Man not to fire off the fireworks. The only reason that he and Mordecai were fired was because Benson jumped to conclusions.
* Goof: Despite neither Mordecai nor Rigby wear clothes, Rigby's bed duvet has a pile of dirty clothes.
* In the "The Christmas Special", it was revealed that when he and Mordecai were little, they both wanted an invisibility cloak.
* In "Caveman", it was revealed that in 10 years Rigby thinks he's going to be a stuntman, but Mordecai thinks he'll still be working at The Park. He did, however, in "The Heart of a Stuntman", manage to receive his stuntman license alongside Muscle Man.
* Goof: Despite that Rigby is allergic to eggs, real raccoons will often eat the eggs of other animals without allergies or any sickness.
* Rigby really likes cake (especially chocolate cake), even to the point where he practically kills Skips in "Free Cake". He also shows his love for cake in "Access Denied" where he went to a club after saying that he hates clubs. He just goes for the cake.
* Even though Rigby is one of the two main protagonists of Regular Show like Mordecai he makes minor appearances in Picking Up Margaret, Family BBQ, Play Date Maxin' and Relaxin and Not Great Double Date.
* In "The Power" it was revealed some of the things that Mordecai and he always wanted is: to fly, a bouncy house that can fly, a black car with flames, a fanny pack which has a glove that can give them cool clothes and sunglasses, The Power look-a-like instruments, and a bunch of other stuff. Ex: Bowling equipment, fuzzy and regular dice, and an 80s Metal CD.
* In "Temp Check", Rigby is shown to have Masklophobia, the fear of Mascots and costumed characters.
* In "Regular Show: The Movie", Rigby, rejected by Mordecai for forging his acceptance letter, attempted to commit suicide by flying into the sun. This marks Rigby the first and the only character in The Regular Show to attempt suicide.
* In "Silver Dude", it is revealed that he had blonde hair when he was younger.
** However, in Lunch Break, he had brown hair as a tween. It was later revealed by Mordecai in the movie that he bleached his hair at some point in high school.
** This is ironic, due to the fact that he had constantly made "blonde jokes" at Mordecai in "Bet to Be Blonde".
* In the episode "Expert or Liar", Rigby becomes the first and only repeat guest.
* In "Skips in the Saddle", it is revealed that Rigby has seen every episode of the romantic game show: "It's a Date!"
* Rigby said in “Skips in the Saddle” that he was hanging out with Eileen, and that they were just hanging out as friends after Muscle Man and Hi Five Ghost started to tease him, though in “Dumped at the Altar”, it was revealed that he and Eileen have been dating, and he didn’t want Mordecai to know about it. So it is possible that they were dating by that point.
* It is revealed in "Lift With Your Back" that Rigby doesn't have a driver's license.
* At the end of "The Real Thomas", he seems to know a bit of Russian language, such as when he says farewell to Nikolai/Thomas.
* According to Mordecai in "Death Bear", Rigby saw a scary movie called "Death for Breakfast." After getting scared from the movie, Rigby refused to eat pancakes for a week.
* Rigby (Not Counting Mordecai) has the least amount of minor roles out of any main character with five minor roles. The episodes were: "Picking Up Margaret", "Family BBQ", "Play Date", "Maxin' and Relaxin'", and "Just Friends".
* In "Birthday Gift" it shows that he's terrible at giving birthday gifts, especially with Mordecai. When he gets someone a gift, he never put any thought in them but if he does, he usually gets the gift for himself.
* In "Birthday Gift", Rigby is the developer of "Cake Quest".
* Rigby likes to dig through the trash, as seen in various episodes, he even stated in “Diary”, that he likes donuts better when their from the trash, this could be that he has raccoon instincts, despite being a humanoid.
* In "Regular Show: The Movie", it is revealed Rigby doesn't know how to spell his own name.
* It is unknown what is his job after he leaves the park. Judging by the fact that he intends to go to college after graduating high school, it can assume that he works as white-collar worker.
** Also, judging by a video game his daughter is playing, he could be considered a game designer.
* Both his daughter share Don's trait, which is that they are both taller than their parents.
* He, along with Mordecai are the only main characters whose last names were not revealed.
* Rigby's traits are similar to that of Beavis from Mike Judge's earlier series Beavis and Butt-Head as both are often portrayed as immature, childish and unintelligent.
** There also had been running gags of both of them getting hurt or beaten up the most.
** Although unlike Beavis, Rigby's character had continued to develop throughout the rest of the series.
* Rigby appears with Mordecai in the Uncle Grandpa episode "Pizza Eve".
* Rigby's name was originally going to be "Ricky", but J.G. Quintel's wife misheard it as "Rigby", he decided to keep that as his official name. 
** In "Dumptown USA", one of Mordecai's house mates refers to him as "Ricky". This name was originally going to be "Rigby's" name on the show, but it was changed to "Rigby" after Quintel's wife misheard it multiple times.
