Rigby is far from being perfect. It's true he had moments when he was a total jerk etc, but would Regular Show be interesting without Rigby?

Would there even be a Regular Show without Rigby?

Like it or not, he's one of the main things that makes the show interesting. He's funny, and not just by himself, the things he does are funny as well. Isn't it more enterating to watch someone messing up and maybe fixing things later, then to watch someone just doing good things and always being a great person for all seasons?

Would it be more interesting if he was replaced by a very smart, very nice character that never does anything wrong? How would they even make an episode about him then? They could, but just like in H5G's case, there wouldn't be much to it.

They also need such characters to make great individual episodes. Characters with a personality, character's that are not perfect, that are different from the rest by a long shot and so on. And they can definitely do that with Rigby. They can also do that with Benson and Muscle Man, but unfortunately, Muscle Man isn't very well liked (And probably doesn't have such a large fanbase as Rigby and even Benson - who are complete opposites). And when there's an episode about MM being a jerk (ex: My mom, See you there), he usually doesn't even have a reason for being a jerk, which causes more dislike. He just thinks it's funny to prank people by bullying them and making them eat a picture of his squished up butt cheeks (Actually, that is kinda funny. XD), or make people think he's dead.

Rigby at least has reasons. And as stupid as they can get, they make sense to him. And it's pretty like him to act on his feelings and not really think much before action or reacting.

I also think it's funny when Mordecai fans say Rigby is either underdeveloded or lacks depth...please tell me all about Mordecai's large development and character depth.

And have you noticed that whenever Mordecai has an individual episode it's usually just focosing on romance? Why do you think that is?

Don't get me wrong, I love Mordecai and everything, but for different reasons them most people.

People generaly favor Mordecai because he's nicer and more responsible...I'm in a no possition to judge, but being as good as possible is not a reason I would favor a char. personally.

Rigby didn't even need any development. He was pretty much 'perfect' even in season 2. Heck! In one point of season 1!

But I guess it was about time they made him do something for himself, that doesn't only go around cheating his way out etc. And that was a smart move to make, at though I'm not sure if it's too early or not.

But they still kept the main points. He's still impulsive and will blur out inappropriate things, and he would still be 'delusional', only to admit what he really thinks later on - maybe. (Ex Rigby in the Sky with Burrito.)

One last thing: In all 5 seasons, I have never (not even once) find Rigby to be annoying.

While I can kind of see why some would, hey, at least he has a personality!

Would you rather have him annoying(If that's really the only thing you notice about him) Or would you rather have him be near perfect and have 0 character? *Caugh*Margaret*caugh*

Wouldn't it be great if a main character was so blant?? :D

xD

In all seriousness though, Rigby is my favorite. And not being perfect, being FAR from perfect is one of the reasons why he takes first place. Well said! Regular Show definitely wouldn't be the same if Rigby wasn't there to screw things up. Not to mention, he can be pretty funny at times, saying things that become catchphrases in everyday life. (In Every Meat Burritos, I remember him saying "Less tude, more food!", and I still find myself saying that pretty often. XD) It's very entertaining to see what kind of calamity he will cause in each episode. He does have his faults, obviously, but all of the other characters have faults as well. Mordecai will always be my favorite character, but that doesn't mean I have to dislike Rigby because of it. I love Mordecai's sense of responsibility and compassion, but I also really enjoy the contrast Rigby offers with his immaturity. It's kind of like yin and yang, if you think about it.
