Rigby's Parents

Rigby's Parents (Unnamed Mother and Sherm) are minor characters that appear in the episode "The Thanksgiving Special"; his mother also makes an appearance in "Rigby in the Sky With Burrito" and Sherm makes an appearance in "Lunch Break". They apparently live far enough away from the park to warrant taking a plane to visit their son.

Biography
Not much is known about Rigby's parents, but they seem very proud of Rigby, even though he is lazy and rarely gets things done. When Rigby was in high school, he was expelled and his mother had to come pick him up. She was upset and tells him that "You're always making so much trouble for yourself. Now Don never gets in any trouble when he's at school." Don, Rigby's younger bother, is the complete opposite his older brother: he is an accomplished accountant, drives a Corvette, and has his own house. Although Don is naturally more talented than Rigby, he tried to be more like him in their youth so as not to overshadow his older brother.

Rigby's mother has a "special cleaning formula", which apparently doesn't work (see "Trivia").

Appearances
Rigby's parents are both racoons, but are much taller than their son (this is not the case for Don, who is tall and muscular - apparently Rigby is the only short one in the family).

Rigby's mom wears a white waist-coat over a purple top with khaki pants. She has shoulder length brown hair. Sherm wears a brown cardigan over a cream shirt with dark brown pants. In Lunch Break Sherm wears a white under shirt with a slight bloated belly, white underwear and white socks with blue stripes. Sherm has brown hair, a brown mustache and also wears glasses.

Trivia

 * All of Rigby's family are tall except for Rigby. This could be because the parents had a recessive short gene that only showed up in Rigby, possibly occurring in the grandparents.
 * In "Limousine Lunchtime", Rigby tried to get rid of a meatball sub stain, using what he claimed was his mom's 'special cleaning formula'. The mixture didn't work, causing Mordecai to bring up that that may just be why their house was never clean. (Could be a hint on Rigby's mom having some similar trails/flaws as her first son.)
 * Rigby's mom is the only female in the family.
 * Rigby's father's name is revealed in "Lunch Break" to be "Sherm".
 * In Lunch Break it shows that Sherm is kind of strict with Rigby like forcing him (and Mordecai) to eat 4 boxes of cereal since the rule is not to open a new box of cereal if the other one not done.
 * In The Lunch Club it shows that Rigby and Sherm have a slight trouble relationship due to the fact that he favors Don.
