Skips



Skips is a yeti who works for Benson as a groundskeeper at the park. He accompanies Benson at work. He talks slow and can only get around by skipping. Skips also has the ability to skip backwards, as seen in the episode The Power. In Death Punchies, it was revealed that Skips sent Rigby to the hospital with a fractured butt cheek while playing punchies with him. Skips also admits, in the episode Caffeinated Concert Tickets, that he doesn't think Fist Pump is that bad, but soon after adds, "not that I'm into that kind of thing."

Personality and Traits
He seems to have an interesting and mysterious past, as everyone relies on him to solve unnatural problems, and he almost always has the answer.

Being a virtually silent character, Skips personality has rarely connects with any of the other main characters personalities, causing real relationships to be less noticeable or possibly nonexistent.

Mordecai & Rigby
Skips is not particularly close to either Mordecai or Rigby in the first episode ( "The Power") was aired. Skips is the one they come to when they cause trouble, such as in the episode Just Set Up The Chairs when Rigby releases Destroyer of Worlds despite the note apparently written by Skips warning people not to connect the wires. Immediately when Mordecai or Rigby come up to him, he assumes they'd gotten into trouble and need his help. However strained the relationship may be, Mordecai (as well as many of the other characters) depend on Skips to be there for them, as revealed in the episode Free Cakewhen, upon being told that they had never thrown a party for Skips, Mordecai exclaims, "Dude, that sucks! Skips totally deserves a party." (Here Rigby adds, "And cake!"). Mordecai continues, "Whenever something goes wrong, it's Skips who fixes it. He's always there for us. No matter what." In the second season, it appears he has gotten closer to both Mordecai and Rigby, in "This is My Jam", he jokes with Mordecai about Rigby's problem and later joins them in a band.

Benson
Even though Skips is an employed by Benson, the two are at least friends, if not good friends. As seen in "Meat Your Maker", Skips chugs soda while Benson and Pops cheer them on. Benson has the utmost respect Skips, as he is a hard worker and very dependable. This dependability, though, did not earn Skips a birthday party, but in all fairness, Skips usually secluded himself to perform his spirit dance.

Pops
Pops and Skips do not interact too much throughout the series. They do not hate each other, often appearing in scenes together. In "Rigby's Body" though, Skips says he wishes that Mordecai and Rigby would not teach Pops those words ( The word was turd).

Other Appearances
Skips has appeared in the online Cartoon Network Regular Show game, Trash and Dash. He can be picked (otherwise a marble) when 5 pieces of trash are collected, and he runs throughout the landscape, stunning any moving obstacle.
