Barbera is the mother of Rigby and Don, and the wife of Sherm.
Unlike her husband, Barbera tends to be more sensitive and caring towards her children, but not without her boundaries.
Biography[]
Not much is known about Rigby's parents, but in their first appearance "The Thanksgiving Special", they seemed proud of Rigby, despite his laziness and lack of accomplishments, as they were very happy to see him.
This would change in in later appearances, as sometimes his mom, Barbera, are shown to be more disappointed and frustrated with Rigby, usually comparing him to his younger brother, Don. Don is the exact opposite of Rigby: he is an accomplished accountant and martial artist, drives a Corvette, has his own home, and he is taller and more friendlier than Rigby, making him more liked by his family, and seemingly everyone else. However, Rigby, unlike Don, has had more experiences involving more dangerous situations, in which he survived.
Barbera is shown to be more caring towards Rigby, as she sometimes defends him when Sherm yells at or criticizes Rigby, and she does not criticize him as much as her husband.
During a flashback in "Rigby in the Sky With Burrito", Rigby, in high school, is seen getting sent to the principals office, and his mother had to come and pick him up. She was upset and says to him "You're always making so much trouble for yourself. Now Don never gets in any trouble when he's at school."
In "Regular Show: The Movie", High School Rigby returns home and finds that he has received a letter from College University, Rigby and Mordecai's dream school, and a college that will accept literally anyone. He thinks that he got in as soon as he sees the envelope, but to his dismay he didn't get in, despite that the college accepts everyone. Rigby's parents have blank stares throughout this whole scene, showing that they knew he wouldn't get in. Sherm even says this to him, and tells Rigby that they found a community college in Mexico that will accept him. Irate, Rigby says he's supposed to go to college with Mordecai, to which Barbera frustratedly replies that its the only college that will accept him. Rigby says then he won't go to college, and runs up to his room crying. As he does this, Sherm yells at Rigby that he's going to college whether he likes it or not, to which Rigby screams "If I can't go to college with Mordecai than I won't go to college at all!", and he slams his bedroom door closed.
In "Rigby Goes to the Prom", Rigby needs a car to take Eileen to prom, and he is turned down by everyone he asks. Don tells Rigby he could ask their Dad for his prized car, to which Rigby refuses, but the two end up going to dinner at their parent's place in order for Rigby to ask. Barbera is happy to have her sons over for dinner, unlike Sherm, who assumes Rigby is only there because he needs something. During dinner, Rigby tries to talk about how he's about to graduate high school, and he finally asks Sherm for his car. Sherm screams at him, saying that he can't borrow his car. Rigby yells at him saying that he cares more about the car than he cares about him. Sherm sends Rigby to his room, and after he leaves he tells Don to go on about his week. Barbera sighs, and she goes up to Rigby's room (which is now a walk in closet) to consult him, even bringing tissues with her. She gives him the keys to her husband's car, telling him to not scratch it or tell Sherm that she was involved. Later that night, while Rigby and Eileen are at prom, and have left with some of Rigby's school friends to go to Look Out Point, Sherm and Barbera are in bed. Sherm is trying to fix a tiny TV and has he does this he yells at it saying why it can't be like the big TV downstairs. Barbera tells him that she believes he's implying something else (the small TV represents Rigby and the big TV represents Don), but he ignores her.
In "Rigby's Graduation Day Special", Rigby's parents and brother attend his high school graduation. Sherm complains about how he had to put on a suit for this, but Barbra shushes him. They all cheer for Rigby when he gives his speech, and his dad expresses that he's proud of him. As they all head to the party with everyone else, they see the park go up into space and they all appear to be very worried for Rigby.
In the finale, after the Park returns after being in space for 3 years, Rigby's parents and brother cut through the crowd and hug Rigby. Sherm looks proud of Rigby, as he points to Rigby and says something to the crowd, while Rigby looks flattered.
