Things don't always have to make sense.

And a storyrboard artist confirmed they're still 23. I remember when the whole 'ten years' thing used to bother me. At first, it kind of threw me off track (and even kept me from fully enjoying the episode), but then I came to realize that the concept of time is used very loosely in Regular Show. For example, looking back on A Skips in Time and Skips' Story, Skips's timeline wasn't exactly as cohesive as it should have been. According to A Skips in Time, he knew the Guardians of Eternal Youth since his years of stormchasing, whereas in Skips' Story, he only met the Guardians in high school. If anything, I think plot holes just add to the show's slacker charm and irregularity. Though it can be a little bothersome at times, I just tell myself that Mordecai or Rigby must have written that specific episode. XD Yeah. It was the same with me, pretty much. xD

I think a lot of people were bugged by that at first. But Owen Dennis did leave a comforting post about it on Tumblr. Also, if you look at pretty much any other cartoon; The characters pretty much NEVER grow older. No matter how many birthdays have past.

Just look at The Simpsons for example.

The so called 'plot holes' are also everywhere you look. They usually shouldn't matter that much.
