Benson

Benson is a male gumball machine, who is the groundskeeper manager. He is usually seen driving around in a golf cart, giving evidence that the park may include a golf course. He mostly does not approve of Rigby and Mordecai, constantly threatening to fire them. His favorite worker appears to be Skips. He is known for his bad-temper and his loud screaming, but is also known for turning red whenever he gets hellishly livid, mostly directed at Rigby or Mordecai. He commonly refers to the two as 'idiots' or 'morons', and believes that they are slackers, which is why Mordecai and Rigby tend to get 'lame' jobs rather than important ones. However, he does not completely hate them.

Benson can be seen working in many scenes, proving himself dedicated to his job. Although strict he isn't very stubborn; in "Free Cake" he allows Mordecai and Rigby to throw a party for Skips, he allows Mordecai and Rigby extra hours to see Fist Pump (knowing they aren't very reliable), and again in "Meat Your Maker", when he admits he made a mistake without putting up much of a fight (although it wasn't his fault).

Benson seems to like parties, as shown in "Meat Your Maker", where he says he was feeling festive enough to buy a festive shirt as well as splurge on extra premium hot dogs. In the episode "The Unicorns Have Got To Go", Benson has been seen tied to a door and had his gumballs eaten by obnoxious unicorns. At the end, Benson didn't bother screaming his head off at Mordecai and Rigby. In the episode "Prank Callers", his anger issues get really bad, when he rips the house phone off the wall and smashes it. He does show some respect to both Mordecai and Rigby, and the only possible reason he has not yet fired them is because when they stop being lazy, they can actually get quite a bit of work done. He mostly entrusts Mordecai rather than Rigby since he knows that the former is more responsible and levelheaded than the latter.

Along with Mordecai, Benson first appeared in an animated short film: 2 in the AM PM by J.G. Quintel, in which a store's two clerks are transformed into Mordecai and Benson's characters after they eat acid candy.

Benson is noble and far from greedy and selfish, doesn't do anything to do real harm to Rigby and Mordecai or even his fellow workers, and says only ideal threats. However, there has been accounts that has proved he lacks patience; in "Peeps" he set up a surveillance system to make sure Mordecai and Rigby work and keep them from slacking off. This only forces him to upgrade said system when Mordecai and Rigby continue to avoid this, until the scheme goes awry in a new episode "Benson Be Gone" he will get fire but he is happy about it.

The reason for Benson's temper may be that he is unappreciated and not treated fairly by other people besides his fellow workers. In "Just Set Up the Chairs", when he picked up the kids for a birthday party, he tried to lighten the situation by sweetly saying happy birthday to the boy the kids are celebrating, but the child only interrupted and screamed, "Just drive the bus, you crazy slop-jockey!" Then in Dizzy, it may also be a possibility that Benson is also trying to win respect and appreciation of Pop's father, Mr. Maellard, but the strict chairman is just as strict and has the same least amount of trust and/or appreciation to him as he does with Mordecai and Rigby. Mr. Maellard even mistakes his name for other phrases.

Trivia
