Line 11:
* [[Catch Phrase]]: "Ohhhhhh!", "Dewd", and "YEA-YUH!"
** Also whenever Rigby's in danger or Mordecai's worried about him, he sometimes stretches out his wing and cries "Rigby!"
* [[Can't Get Away With Nuthin']]: The main element of a lot of episodes is Mordecai and Rigby attempting to shirk some responsibility and usually doesn't resolve unless they own up to what they've done.
* [[Characterization Marches On]]: Yeah, he still punches Rigby in the arm once in a while when he saids something jerkish or idiotic(though that seems to be fading as well), but he became less abusive torwards Rigby in comparison to the earlier episodes(when's the last time you ever saw them play punchies??) Also helps that {{spoiler|Mordecai KNOWS his best friend may die young!}}
* [[Cheated Angle]]: He's almost never shown head-on, and even when he is, his head crest is still angled.
Line 21:
** "You gotta be in the know to know, ya know?"
* [[Hopeless Suitor]]: With Margaret. Hell, when he ignores her ([[It Makes Sense in Context|due to being mindless]]) in "Brain Eraser", she suddenly finds him attractive.
* [[Nice Job Breaking It, Hero]]: He and Rigby are (in)directly responsible for a ''lot'' of the really weird things that happen during the show.
** Perhaps the ''biggest'' example of this so far is during the episode "It's Time" when he {{spoiler|accidentally kills Rigby and has to go back in time to save him.}}
* [[Petting Zoo Person]]: [[Word of God]] is that he's "a dude in a bird's body". He doesn't fly or do anything remotely avian.
* [[Pink Girl, Blue Boy]]: Blue Boy to Margaret's Pink Girl.
* [[Red Oni, Blue Oni]]: The blue to Rigby's red.
* [[The Slacker]]: Doesn't appear so at first, but often joins in with Rigby's escapades for the sake of rivalry or just for the hell of it. "Just Set Up The Chairs" is a prime example. Since season two had started, he seems to be more inclined to go along with Rigby.
* [[Toothy Bird]]
Line 54:
{{quote| '''Benson''': First on the agenda is trophy talk. Who gets the trophy on what day? I think the schedule is more than fair.<br />
(''Everyone on the team is scheduled to have the trophy for two days each week, except Rigby who only has it one day.'') }}
* [[Can't Get Away With Nuthin']]: Along with Mordecai but Rigby mostly makes problems by trying to be cool or doing something petty that he thinks is irrelevant. Naturally, it will always come back to get him.
* [[Catch Phrase]]: "Ohhhhhh!", "Check it" and "STOP TALKIIIING!".
* [[Characterization Marches On]]: Similar to Mordecai, Rigby has become [[Took a Level In Kindness|less of a jerkass/brat]] over the course of the series. [[Flanderization|Now he's just more of a slacker.]]
* [[Cheated Angle]]: He, too, is rarely seen from the front.
* [[Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass]]: Proven in the Death Punch episode.
* {{spoiler|[[Death Is Cheap]]}} : {{spoiler|Rigby has died at least three times (expelled from his own body, thrown into a time void, crushed during an arm wrestling match), being revived each time.}}
* {{spoiler|[[Disney Death]]}} : In the episode "It's Time". {{spoiler|[[Back From the Dead|He came back to life via time travel.]]}}
Line 67:
** Another example is at the end of "Do Me a Solid" where Rigby destroys the only video evidence of the humiliating solid he made Mordecai do.
* [[Man Child]]
* [[Nice Job Breaking It, Hero]]: He and Mordecai are responsible for a ''lot'' of the weird problems that occur in the series.
** "I can fix it! I can fix it!"
* [[Rascally Raccoon]]: To an extent.
* [[Red Oni, Blue Oni]]: The red to Mordecai's blue.
* [[Running Gag]]: He can never win at punchies.
** As a Foil to the above gag, Rigby frequently wins against Mordecai in Rock Paper Scissors.
Line 94:
* [[The Cavalry]]: {{spoiler|The guys are losing to a physical manifestation of an [[Ear Worm]] that they're battling by playing a counter [[Ear Worm]]. When Benson arrives, Mordecai assumes he's there to yell at them for messing up the park with their battle. He is there to yell at them, but for forgetting a key part of an [[Ear Worm]]: the beat from the drums which he plays.}}
* [[Character Development]]: He's noticably more tolerent of Mordecai and Rigby after "Benson Be Gone", not getting as angry at them for when they mess up. {{spoiler|He even came to their rescue in "This Is My Jam"}}.
** Also shows in "Jinxed" when he subverts his [[Rant
** Newer episodes even had him lead the group in downtime activities, like a weekly game night and paying for everyone at a bar, even Mordecai and Rigby.
** It's revealed in "Stick Hockey" that {{spoiler|he used to be a champion stick hockey player until ten years prior to the episode when his apprentice Dave was killed in the final round of a tournament. Now he sees himself as a loser who wasted his life on stick hockey and now he's wasted his life in a dead-end job.}}
** "Think Positive" revealed that Benson of all people was {{spoiler|[[The Quiet One]] in his family, and his father taught him that the only way to get stuff done is with a [[Hair
* [[A Day in The Limelight]]: "Benson Be Gone"
* [[Early Bird Cameo]]: First appeared as a hallucinated form of one of the clerks in ''2 in the AM PM'', one of J. G. Quintel's first short films.
Line 103:
* [[Grumpy Bear]]
* [[Ha Ha Ha No]]
* [[Hair
* [[High Pressure Emotion]]: His gumballs turn red when he's angry.
** {{spoiler|"Think Positive" makes this trope literal. If he holds in his anger too long, he starts burning thing at his touch and destroying everything until he's let it out.}}
Line 117:
* [[Papa Wolf]]: Despite his annoyance with the main duo and the rest of his employees at times, he's nonetheless very protective of them, evidenced in episodes such as "Benson Be Gone", or "Stick Hockey"
* [[Perma Stubble]]: [[Word of God]] is that his gumballs are supposed to resemble this, as a visual sign that he is over-worked.
* [[Rant
** Decreased in number after "Benson Be Gone", after which it happens noticeably less often.
* [[Red Baron]]: {{spoiler|Benson was once known as the [[Names to Run Away From Really Fast|Death Dragon]] in stick hockey circles.}}
Line 138:
* [[The Chick]]: Despite his many quirks, Pops is a sweet, gentle, child-like man who's the type to have a kind word for anyone when they need it, and to help a baby bird back into its nest.
* [[Cloudcuckoolander]]: The prank call episode suggests that this may come from him being run over by a golf cart, followed by a cell phone-induced brain tumor.
* [[Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass]]: In "Really Real Wrestling" it turns out he used to wrestle. Turns out he's pretty good at it too.
* [[Funny Foreigner]]
{{quote| "Oh, I ''adore'' Rock Paper Scissors! Except where ''I'' come from, it's called 'Quartz Parchment Shears'"!}}
Line 144:
* [[Let's Get Dangerous]]: {{spoiler|"...Who wants to wrestle?" Curbstomping ensues.}}
* [[Meaningful Name]]
* [[Pointy
* [["Well Done, Son" Guy]]: His scary father, as seen in "Dizzy".
== Skips ==
Line 160:
* [[Meaningful Rename]]: He always skips rather than walking. {{spoiler|It turns out his real name is not Skips, but Walks. He changed it because he got tired of everybody asking him why he skips everywhere instead of walking.}}
* [[Mr. Fixit]]: According to "Skips vs. Technology", he's in charge of basically any repair work needed around the park, a role he fills quite well... at least, when it comes to physical stuff. Fixing a malfunctioning computer seems to be a bit beyond him.
* [[My God, What Have I Done?]]: Gets this in "Over The Top" after {{spoiler|killing Rigby}}. He's so guilty that he {{spoiler|puts his eternal soul on the line to win Rigby's soul back from Death.}}
* [[Nice Job Breaking It, Hero]]: Um, {{spoiler|KILLING Rigby}} in the arm-wrestling episode.
* [[Older Than They Look]]: He made a deal in order to obtain eternal youth.
** To the point of [[Really 700 Years Old]] (over 220 years at least).
Line 198:
** And as shown in "Slam Dunk" he's actually a good athlete, when he smokes Mordecai and Rigby at basketball. Several times.
** In "The Night Owl", he defeats several guards by physical means and knocks out The Night Owl with a single punch.
* [[Multi
* [[Only Known By Their Nickname]]: Averted; his real name of Mitch Sorenstein is revealed in "Muscle Woman".
* [[The Quiet One]]: High-Five Ghost spoke only one full sentence in the entire first season. The episode "Muscle Woman" has High-Fives talk more than usual due to Muscle Man isolating himself, implying that he usually doesn't talk because Muscle Man just does all the talking for him.
** As a recent episode shows, apparently he doesn't talk because he's Jinxed and Muscleman will punch him if he ever talks around him. Rigby broke his jinx and afterwards he talks much more often.
* [[Screw the Rules, I Have Connections]]: As one episode shows, Muscle Man has a lot of friends around town. Heck, a police officer chases afters him just to tell him how awesome he is.
* [[Sore Loser]]: Muscle Man.
* [[Talk to The Fist]]: In "Night Owl", {{spoiler|after returning to the past after the title character froze him, High-Five, Mordecai, and Rigby for several hundred years, the Night Owl starts chewing them out for ruining his plan. So Muscle Man knocks him out cold mid-rant.}}
Line 218:
* [[All Girls Want Bad Boys]]: The only time Margaret has shown to have an interest in Mordecai was when he "blew her off" (Mordecai at the time was suffering a [[Heroic BSOD]] from seeing Pops naked).
* [[Animal Gender Bender]]: She's a bit too colorful for a [http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/0/0f/Northern_Cardinal_Female-27527.jpg female cardinal.]
* [[
** She also mentioned once that she used to play a lot of mini-golf with her dad
* [[Feather Fingers]]
Line 226:
** In "Slam Dunk" we get a [[Male Gaze|close up of her butt]], [[Getting Crap Past the Radar|seriously.]]
{{quote| [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IhDOIhWlOdE Hey Mordecai!]}}
* [[Non
* [[Pink Girl, Blue Boy]]: Pink Girl to Mordecai's Blue Boy. (Technically, she's bright red, but it still qualifies)
* [[The Smurfette Principle]]: In the entire first season, she was in only ''three'' episodes (one of which was only via dream sequence) and had less than three minutes' screen time combined. However, she's gotten a lot more screen time in season 2.
* [[Toothy Bird]]
* [[What Does She See in Him?]]: All of the men she seems to date are obnoxious jerks, who seem to irritate her. Except for Rigby, who she ''really'' likes.
{{quote| '''Margaret:''' Ugh, what boyfriend? I'm not seeing anyone right now. Guys are jerks.<br />
'''Mordecai:''' Gah, I know, right? Guys are the worst! ''(Flashes Rigby a silent "[[Catch Phrase|Ohhhhhh!]]")'' }}
Line 250:
* [[Skintone Sclerae]]
** In later episodes Eileen seems to go through a redesign. She loses this and her pigtail is done up on the other side.
* [[What Does She See in Him?]]: With the way Rigby acts towards her, you'd think she'd try someone else...
** {{spoiler|He warms up during "Camping Can Be Cool" - he thinks Eileen starting a fire without matches [[Your Approval Fills Me With Shame|and throwing a rock through Margaret's car door]] is pretty awesome.}}
** {{spoiler|When he gets turned into a house in "Terror Tales of the Park", the photo on the mantel is of Eileen.}}
Line 263:
* [[Power Glows]]
* [[Wingding Eyes]]: His eyes are golden stars.
* [[Why Do You Keep Changing Jobs?]]: He was Mordecai and Rigby's defense attorney in "Cool Bikes."
