Mordecai (Regular Show)

Mordecai is one of the main protagonists from the Regular Show series.
== Charactah Account ==
A tall blue jay out of art school who works with his friend Rigby at the park. Between the two, Mordecai is the more mature, although he will sometimes play along with the more enthusiastic Rigby's hijinks. 
Mordecai is mild-mannered, laid back, and big-hearted. Like Rigby, he lacks clothing, plays video games, sings karaoke, and drinks copious amounts of coffee and soda. Of the duo of two main characters, Mordecai displays far more patience, responsibility, and intelligence than Rigby does. Although almost every problem caused by the duo is Rigby's fault, Mordecai does cause problems at times, though they are unrelated to work. An example is in "The Unicorns Have Got to Go" when Mordecai tries to attract Margaret with DudeTime but ends up attracting a group of ill-mannered, lazy, and irresponsible unicorns that wreak havoc. Mordecai puts up with Rigby's laziness and immaturity, once even filling out a job application for Rigby because he claimed it was "boring." Mordecai tends to be more sociable, friendly and serious than Rigby and has much more manageable relationships with others.
Although Mordecai naturally despises work, he strives to keep a good reputation, once almost losing his life to avoid being labeled as a slacker, and vouching for extra work to pay for concert tickets. Unlike Rigby, Mordecai doesn't talk about or openly express himself or his feelings. Therefore, Mordecai's most obvious shortcoming is his inability to engage his love interests by speaking his heart. Whenever he was around his crush, Margaret, he would often stutter or lose focus. In spite of this, he often made up excuses to go to The Coffee Shop just to see her. He is a serious person and wants people to do the right thing. It is also proven that he is fond of the word "dude" and the saying "OOOOOOOH!," as he and Rigby often exclaim, although they do stop saying this when they get older as seen in the finale.

* "Out of Commission", "Caveman", "Skips' Story", "The End of Muscle Man" and "A Regular Epic Final Battle" are the only times we see him cry. He only cries when loved ones die, or when he's watching a romantic movie (at least in "Rap It Up" mentioned by Rigby).

** They almost kissed in "Death Bear", "Bad Kiss" (In the end) and "Do or Diaper".
* In "The Power" it was revealed some of the things Rigby and him always wanted were: to fly, a bouncy house that can fly, a black car with flames, a fanny pack which has a glove which can give them cool clothes and sunglasses, with 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 "Silver Dude", it's first revealed that he used to have brown hair when he was younger. In this case, it was long and it covered his eyes.
** This is most likely a reference to J.G. Quintel, who had similar hair for a short while.
* In "A Skips in Time", it's revealed that in high school, he used to have braces.
* In "Rigby in the Sky With Burrito", it is revealed that in high school, Mordecai was in art club, dodgeball team, and jazz band. It is also mentioned how he played the saxophone since he signed up late and the guitar spots were taken. However, it might be that he secretly enjoyed playing the saxophone.
* "Lunch Break" suggests that a Mordecai dyed his hair brown sometimes when he was 12. It also suggests he styled his hair back to the way it is currently around the time he was in college
* In "Real Date", it is revealed that Mordecai likes chocolate and waffles.
* in "Video Game Wizards", it revealed that Mordecai likes mixed nuts.
* In "Real Date", he almost got killed when Matchmaker McIntyre shot his bazooka gun that was supposed to hit CJ.
* He is referred to as "Mordy" by his mother.
* In "Maxin' and Relaxin'", his mother revealed that Mordecai used to eat prunes to "keep him regular", meaning he had stomach problems (or to keep him from gaining weight).
* Also, like CJ, Mordecai had a one-sided riff with a family member that was eventually resolved.
* In "Rigby in the Sky With Burrito" Rigby revealed that Mordecai was cool in high school suggesting that he was popular.
* In "Brilliant Century Duck Crisis Special", when the owner of PlayCo offers Mordecai and Rigby a hundred dollars for signing over their likenesses to be used as action figures, Mordecai refers to it as "a month's pay." This means that Mordecai and Rigby earn just $1,200 a year, at an hourly rate of about 63 cents - well below the minimum wage of any U.S. state.
** It could be that Mordecai and Rigby's gross salary is much higher than this, and $100 is a month's take-home pay after paying for damages that they have caused in the past.
* In Lunch Break it revealed that in art college he accidentally sat on a brownie while wearing white jeans.
** This incident may be the reason that Mordecai doesn't normally wear pants, or clothes in general, since in the next scene after this is revealed, Mordecai is seen in his college years wearing only a sweatshirt and no pants.
* Also in Lunch Break every night before a test he would order a pizza because the grease would increase his studying skills.
* In Just Friends it shows that if he married Margaret, he would reach his goals as an artist, and they would have lived in a houseboat and had three children together, with one being named Mallory, who would become pro video game designers.
* In Maellard's Package it is revealed that Mordecai wants to be a pilot.
* Just like Rigby, Mordecai seems to get away with almost everything when Benson plans to fire him and Rigby.
* He and his wife work in the same artist job.
* He, along with Rigby are the only main characters to appear in every episode of the series.
* He, along with Rigby are the only main characters whose last names were not revealed.
* Matt Price explained why Mordecai didn't end up with Margaret or CJ:
** "We felt like the Margaret / CJ story was complete, and they were both on their own path already. We also felt like Mordecai had moved on in his life. He finally left the park to pursue art, and we thought it'd be cool if he met someone while doing that. But we love Margaret and C.J., and we're sure that they're happy without Mordecai! He was too wishy-washy with them!!"
* Mordecai's traits are similar to that of Butt-Head from Mike Judge's earlier series Beavis and Butt-Head as both are often portrayed as more intelligent and self-aware than both Beavis and Rigby, although Mordecai is still considerably more intelligent and mature than Butt-Head, at the same time there have been moments of Mordecai being airheaded and immature himself.
** There also had been running gags of both of them beating up both Beavis and Rigby mostly whenever they do something stupid, they've also been guilty of poking fun and making jokes at both Beavis and Rigby's expense.
** There are moments where Mordecai will do Butt-Head's trademark laugh ("Uh huh huh huh..").
** Both are also often unsuccessful when it comes to dating although Mordecai been in a few relationships with a few girls such as Margaret and C.J. though it never seems to last and most of his attempts are usually awkward, Butt-Head on the other hand often fails miserably with his attempts being often crude and straight forward which results in him getting slapped in the face or immediately rejected.
* Mordecai appears with Rigby in the Uncle Grandpa episode"Pizza Eve".
* The inspiration behind Mordecai's name came from the 2001 Wes Anderson film, "The Royal Tenenbaums".
