Pops

====

Pops Maellard is a rich, thin man-like lollipop whose father owns the park as well as the house, which Pops shares with Mordecai and Rigby. According to the Cartoon Network website, he is a billionaire that was locked up and protected for all or most of his childhood, which is apparently why he takes such a childish delight in everything. He has a large head, a blond/white mustache, and a top hat. He also has a great personality and a British accent, although the Regular Show fan page on the Cartoon Network website claims that he is from Lolliland, further supporting the assumption that he is a giant lollipop he made his debut in the 2005 short film The Naive Man from Lolliland as an unnamed immigrant from Lolliland later he made a small cameo in the next short 2 in the AM PM then he makes an official appearance in Pilot. Pops has absolutley no children what so ever. If you think he does you are quite mistaken. His only knowing of anything child-wise is his child like spirit.

Appearance
Pops is a very thin lollipop-like man with a large, almost lolipop shaped head. He dresses as a proper gentleman would, wearing a vest on top of a white buttoned up shirt, a pair of nice gray slacks, and a top hat. He also has a well groomed white mustache.

Pops has no hair on his head. In "Brain Eraser", he is seen wearing a shower cap when he is naked. However, in "Really Real Wrestling" Pops is seen without his hat and has no hair. That same day, he was a wrestler who was wresting Mordecai and Rigby.

Pops has a second hat, as seen in "Free Cake". It appears to be a tan pith helmet.

He is a giant lollipop that is old in age but young in heart.

Personality and Traits
Pops is always happy, laughing more often than not, and appears to be very easily fascinated, and he's actually the the boss of the groundskeepers, but relies more on Benson, (since he knows nothing about taking care of the park). Pops is apparently very sensitive and tends to be a little "weird", according to other characters such as Mordecai. His name is derived from the fact that he vaguely seems to look like a huge lollipop, as well as that he believes lollipops to be currency (as seen in the episode The Power when he gives Mordecai and Rigby a "raise" of one lollipop each and in Don (Episode) where he tried to pay the parks taxes with lollipops. Another example was in Ello Gov'nor when he paid the video store employee with a lollipop before being dragged away by Mordecai and Rigby. Also in The Naive Man from Lolliland trys to pay his bill and a geneous tip of 25% in lollipops). He is apparently very light, as seen in the episode Just Set Up The Chairs when, upon being rejected, he floats away on a count of twenty-four (possibly more) helium balloons. This is supported by the episode Death Punchies in which Rigby punches Pops so hard that he plummets into the air, disappearing in the light of the sun. Later in the episode, it was discovered that Pops had suffered an injury from the punch, a broken arm. Also in the episode Really Real Wrestling we learn that Pops likes to wrestle. Pops used to wrestle back in his "schooling days" but it wasn't fake it was "Just like the Greco and the Romans". Pops uses his wrestling moves to pire Mordecai of of Rigby thus hurting Mordecai since Pops wasn't pretending.

In Prank Callers, when he gave Mordecai and Rigby cell phones from the 80's he said they cause brain tumors. But the Regular Show location on the Cartoon Network website has said that Pops is a lollipop that looks human, which means that Pops' big head should be logical. Also in that episode when the are all sent back in time Pops from the 1980's is normal untill Mordecai and Rigby run him over with a golf cart.

Trivia

 * It's possible lollipops like Pops are able to live forever, but these are his Near Death Experiences:
 * Pilot: Almost got sucked in by the Rochambeau Monster.
 * The Power: Almost got crushed by the Moon Monster.
 * Meat Your Maker: Almost eaten and marinated by evil hot dogs.
 * Grilled Cheese Deluxe almost died in an explosion by an unstable anti nucleus matter radiation at the astronauts' compound in the same town he lives in, and according to astronauts, thousands of lives were at risk.
 * Ello Gov'nor: He almost got killed by the British taxi.

 * Prank Callers: Young Pops got run over but survived extremely well.
 * Benson Be Gone: Almost got crushed by a building by Giant Susan as punishment for not working.
 * Really Real Wrestling: He nearly gets crushed by wrestlers and set on fire.
 * If Mordecai would have driven faster he may have killed past Pops with the golf cart in Prank Callers.
 * In the episode Prank Callers it is implied that he might have a brain tumor and could be mentally challenged. However, later in the episode when Mordecai and Rigby are stuck in the 1980s, we are shown a seemingly normal and sane Pops. He is later accidently run over by Mordecai and Rigby in the golf cart, potentially indicating brain damage as an explanation for his odd behavior.
 * His Cartoon Network website info (on the Regular Show page) says: Pops might look human, but is actually a lollipop from Lolliland. He's been filthy rich and ridiculously sheltered his whole life, so he takes a childlike delight in virtually everything.
 * He also made an appearance in 2 in the AM PM when the two clerks are fighting, the Mordecai like clerk turns similar to Pops.
 * An explanation for Pops to use lollipops instead of money is that he is from Lolliland, where it is possible that lollipops were used as a form of currency. (For instance, a butterscotch ripple equates to $100.) However, his father does not seem to share this confusion, so it may just be another idiosyncracy due to his brain problems and sheltered life, although his father probably knows that lollipops are only used as money in Lolliland.
 * In Dizzy, his last name is revealed to be "Maellard" and his father is named Mr. Maellard.
 * In "This Is My Jam" it realved that he can dance because he said that he is not going to use his "best dance moves" and he can play the keyboard.
 * He can also play the piano in "This is my Jam".
 * In "Jinx" it's shown that he likes to look at his reflection in the water fountain.
 * Along with Mordecai and Rigby, Pops appears in all of the season one episodes (if one counts the painting of him in Grilled Cheese Deluxe).
 * In Adventure Time, Jake has a conductor disguise in the episdoe "Mystery Train" which slightly resembles Pops. This was that same day Finn turned 13 and Brain Eraser reran and gained more viewers.
 * Pops appears to be J.G Quintel's longest-running chracter because he first appeared in Quintel's student film The Naive Man from Lolliland in 2005 and 2 in the AM PM in 2006.
 * Pops may be based off of the Monopoly Millionaire.
 * The way Pops acts is childish.
 * In "Prank Callers", Pops has no mustache in the 1980's, but he has one while he was in high school as shown in " Really Real Wrestling"
 * He has a flying car, like the professor in "Back to the Future".
 * He may secretly keep The Power repaired, in his closet after Skips 'broke' it which explains pops wielding it in but I Have a Receipt and this Is My Jam.
 * Despite being a Brit, in Ello Gov'nor, he says when the taxi runs out of petrol, he says, It seems like we ran out of gasoline, which is the American term for petrol.
