## Skills/Habits

Mordecai has shown a variety of abilities and habits—both good and bad—throughout the series.

* **Artist-**In "Bad Portrait",

 it was revealed that Mordecai did go to art school. However, it has
been shown that he has bad portrait skills. In a flashback he tried to
draw a lady, and it was so bad, she ran away crying. Another time was
when he was failing Sculpture, and his friend Sad Sax Guy advised him to
 make a sculpture of his instructor's "human form", however that, too,
was a disaster.

* **Leadership** - Mordecai has some notable leadership skills, as displayed in many episodes, such as "Exit 9B".
* **Video Game Master** - Mordecai is an expert at video

games. Anytime Mordecai and Rigby play against each other, Mordecai
would win every time (except in "It's Time" because of Rigby's constant bragging about going out with Margaret, "Jinx", and "Bet to Be Blonde" when Rigby cheats and unplugs Mordecai's controller). Mordecai is always player one, except at the end of "Death Punchies".

* **Educated**  - Mordecai is both figuratively and literally

smarter than Rigby in nearly every possible way. He has mentioned to
have acquired not only a high school diploma, which Rigby doesn't have (as mentioned in the episode "More Smarter"), but also a college education (although, in "Fool Me Twice",
 Rigby said that Mordecai never graduated, but it may not be true).
However, he was outwitted by Rigby when the latter got him to drink "RigJuice".

* **Skilled Liar** - In "Grilled Cheese Deluxe",

 Mordecai showed great aptitude for lying. He competed against Rigby to
prove who was the better liar and ultimately emerged victorious.

* **Truthful** - Mordecai is not only a skilled liar, unlike Rigby, but he is also very truthful. For example, in "The Power", Mordecai instantly admitted what happened to Skips when Benson asked him.
* **Skilled at Staring -** Mordecai has shown that he can go hours into a staring contest. He did so against Peeps in the episode of the same name and won, even though he couldn't blink after the contest and had to go to the hospital.
* **Heavy Sleeper** - Throughout the entire show, Mordecai is

shown to be a habitual heavy sleeper, falling asleep very often. Rigby
has to gently shake him to get him to wake up many times. (Examples: "Ello Gov'nor", "This Is My Jam" and "Really Real Wrestling"). He also managed to sleep through being sent to Australia in "Mordecai and Rigby Down Under".

* **Guitar Player** - In "This Is My Jam" and "Return of Mordecai and the Rigbys", he was shown to have increased his skill at playing the guitar, unlike in "Mordecai and the Rigbys", where neither Rigby or himself knew how to work the instrument.
* **Enhanced Strength** - This greatly varies from episode to

episode, though he is always seen to be much stronger than Rigby; this
is notable when the two engage in a game of Punchies.
 However, while not on Skips's or Muscle Man's level, there are several
evidences that Mordecai possesses well above average strength, as he has
 on several occasions bashed his way through locked doors ("Just Set Up the Chairs"). In fact, he's so strong that he can break a broom with one punch and easily rip a shirt as shown in "Mordecai and the Rigbys". However, his most recent and impressive feat of physical strength is shown when he bashed Death Bear across a room and through a wall in the episode of the same name.

* **Coffee Drinker** - Mordecai is often seen with coffee, more so than Rigby. In "Free Cake", the episode starts with Mordecai supposedly drinking from a half full pot of coffee. In "Mordecai and the Rigbys", Mordecai starts out with a cup of coffee in his hands when Rigby enters the Coffee Shop.
* **Speeches** - Mordecai tends to persuade people when he gives talks and speeches, ex. "Don", when Mordecai persuades Rigby to confront and mend Rigby's relationship with his brother; "Rage Against The TV", when Mordecai tells Muscle Man and Hi Five Ghost to help with beating the Hammer; in "Muscle Woman", when he talks to Starla, unintentionally infatuating her; and in "Mordecai and the Rigbys",

 when Mordecai tries to tell the crowd about being tricked into
lip-synching. Another example would be when Mordecai apologizes to CJ to calm her down in "Yes Dude Yes". Also, he gave a protest speech to Margaret being trapped in the Voice Messaging Control Center in "Butt Dial",
 begging her not to play the message that contained the song Mordecai
made up about how it would be like if they were together forever.
However, it didn't work. He is also shown to give a great speech in "Exit 9B", which Garrett Bobby Ferguson Jr. claimed touching. In "Do or Diaper ", he explained to Margaret about the bet, and admitted that he likes her.

* **Kind-Hearted** - Mordecai possesses social skills that an

immature Rigby doesn't. Mordecai has better relations with his friends,
and has never really shown many harsh feelings toward them. He always
tries to settle disagreements. He also admitted a certain secret to save
 his life. The only major time he wasn't kind-hearted was in "It's Time"
 when he pushed Rigby off of a microwave, killing him, though it was out
 of anger, and he was immediately regretful of his actions.

* **Musician** - Mordecai has shown on several occasions that he can sing very well. In "Mordecai and the Rigbys", "Karaoke Video",

 and "Butt Dial" he sings nice and clear, although he tends to be
off-key. Also, he seemed to know about a band called Brain Explosion
that Rigby didn't know about in "This Is My Jam". Also, he listened to a song on repeat for five days in "Yes Dude Yes".

* **Slacker** - Mordecai and Rigby both have a tendency of

slacking off from work. Benson then yells at them to stop slacking off.
This is seen in almost every episode.

* **Skilled Fighter** - Mordecai is very good at fighting others, as seen in many episodes. Examples are Muscle Man and Hi Five Ghost in "The Night Owl", Chad and Jeremy in "Replaced", Carrey O'Key and Carl in "Karaoke Video" and The "Family" "Restaurant" people in "Out of Commission ". He is also skilled in the powerful martial arts of Death Kwon Do and can perform many amazing techniques when wearing the proper attire.
* **Lousy Swimmer** - It is seen in "Meat Your Maker" when the hot dogs

 put Skips, Pops, Benson and Mordecai to marinate, he was practically
drowning. Though this might not be true, considering the fact that it
was marinade and not water.

* **Party Animal** - In "Party Pete", "See You There", and some other episodes, it shows that Mordecai really likes to party.
* **Sanitation** - Even though Mordecai is a party animal, he is good at cleaning up major parties. This is shown in "Replaced", "Butt Dial", "Party Pete", etc.
* **Snoring** - It is seen in "Ello Gov'nor" that he snores when he sleeps.
* **Ladies Man** - Despite the fact he has a crush on Margaret, he has earned attention of Starla from "Muscle Woman", CJ, and his 12 dates from "Yes Dude Yes", though Rigby was the one who set him up for it; possibly Ladonna from "Access Denied", and a woman from "Do or Diaper" gives him her phone number when Mordecai was practicing his kissing.
* **Skilled Rapper**- Along with Rigby, he is shown on occasions such as "Rap It Up" and "Party Pete" rapping very well. They also tried to teach Pops how to rap in order to take on the CrewCrew to prepare him in their rap battle.
* **Skilled Dancer** - As seen in "TGI Tuesday", Mordecai is a skilled dancer.
* **Donut Master** - Seen in "Carter and Briggs",

 wherein Mordecai along with Rigby practice the art of "donut driving",
and eventually master it thanks to Muscle Man's tutelage. They also
manage to win the contest in the episode.

* **Skilled Dodgeball Player** - It is revealed in "Dodge This"

 he is quite an impressive dodgeball player, easily eliminating most of
the Thunder Girlz until it was left to him and CJ. More information on
this can be found on the episode page.

* **Imaginative** - Both Mordecai and Rigby seem to have an active imagination. They tend to have a lot of creative ideas, but as shown in "Video 101", they unfortunately lack a sense of when those ideas become too many, or when they are just simply over the top.
* **Motorcycle Driving** - In "Play Date",

 despite having some trouble in the beginning, he quickly learned how to
 ride a motorcycle from CJ when they were being chased by a bunch of
angry demonic parents.

* **Navigation** - In "Survival Skills",

 Mordecai seems to have a poor sense of direction, getting himself and
Rigby lost in the middle of the woods and only to end up in the same
place where they started, he even mentioned that he forgot where the
golf cart was located.

* **Generous to a fault** - While he's not a complete pushover, Mordecai finds it hard to say no at times. In "1000th Chopper Flight Party",

 he didn't object to getting in the helicopter with Margaret because he
didn't want to hurt the Smith family's feelings, despite the fact that
there would be a chance that CJ would notice (and unfortunately, she
did).
