This definitely isn't one of Mordecai's best moments, but it makes complete sense why he acts this way. Imagine going into a dead-end job with your best friend, and being the only reason your best friend got the job. Imagine, for the longest time, you've been more accomplished and more responsible than your best friend, and you've allowed him to drag you into trouble countless times over the course of years. Now you've gone through a devastating breakup, not once but TWICE, you're still in that dead-end job, and now your previously irresponsible friend is happy, has a steady girlfriend, and has his life on the right track, while you're going nowhere. That has to hurt, ESPECIALLY if you're as insecure as Mordecai. So I totally get why he acts the way he does.
It isn't all Rigby's fault that mordecai ended up that Way, You can't make excuses for Mordecai When he is just asked the blame. Clearly by this episode he has a superiority complex over Rigby
I didn’t say Mordecai wasn’t in the wrong in this episode. He was, and he admits it in the end. I was just saying that there’s a legitimate reason why he acted this way. His “superiority complex” didn’t just come out of thin air. Rigby wouldn’t have been employed if not for Mordecai. He’s also the reason Mordecai didn’t get into college (he sabotaged his chance at that in the movie). And throughout the first five seasons, Mordecai is constantly trying to restrain him from his worst instincts because Rigby’s always dragging him into trouble. So when Mordecai and Rigby’s lives start going into opposite directions, it’s completely understandable that it hurts like hell for Mordecai. So naturally he projects that pain onto Rigby. It’s about where they were before and where they are now. It’s not much different from Rigby lashing out at Don. He’s bitter that his younger brother is bigger, more well-liked and more accomplished, and he projects that anger onto Don. I’m not saying he isn’t in the wrong, I’m saying it’s not as simple as “oh he’s just an asshole”. It’s an effect with a cause.
@@seddam most importantly it makes complete narrative sense. it needed to happen. what makes this episode one of the show's best is that it represents both characters' breakthrough into maturity. for Rigby that means graduating high school and becoming a more responsible adult. for Mordecai that means getting his life out of the gutter and going back to art school (hence why he tells Rigby "if you can do this, then that means..."). It's kind of funny that Rigby getting his life together is Mordecai's "oh shit, what am I doing" moment, but it's perfect in so many ways.
Completely true but it still doesn’t make it right. You’re supposed to want the best for your best friends. To always look at your friend as if they’re inferior to you in messed up. Kinda like how Rigby did when he forged Modo’s acceptance letter. It was understandable but still completely and morally wrong.
when this show first started i'd watched it while i was high with my friends. haven't gotten high in some years. a few of the jokes this show did were jokes i used to make with my friends so we always got tripped out when we watched it. i always figured the dudes that wrote the show were a lot like me. this is my favorite replacements songs, and one of my favorites of all time. absolutely insane to me that this show played it, really hits home here in minneapolis.

This scene actually made me very sad for many reasons: First and most importantly is because it is the last episode of the series "as we know it" (the regular adventures of Mordecai and Rigby along with their friends and recurring characters in the park) Second because they were all dealing with their most resembling problems: Rigby not being able of doing something everyone is counting on, Mordecai doing something for Rigbys well-being and Benson not finding his long life partner. Third because their all dealing with those things on their own. Forth because Mordecai didn't have anyone on his side to listen to him (Margaret or CJ)
After everything Mordecai has faced, you’d think someone could’ve confronted him about it all. This is Rigby’s biggest day, and Mordo doesn’t seem to be thrilled by the fact his best friend is actually coming to his own. Anyone of these guys could’ve hit it to him with this: “Mordecai, you’re a great dude and all, but also a total loser. You’ve lost 2 opportunities for a girlfriend, and sure he may have screwed your chance at that College University, we’re very sorry for you. But today you have to support your best friend, he has worked hard for this. Celebrate today, and find something for yourself tomorrow. You do have a passion for art after all.” Even when Rigby did confront him, they didn’t really bring up all that.
I really love how both Regular Show and Adventure Time concluded. Even with their flaws (which tbh, I feel like some people blow the romance stuff out of proportion. You are not supposed to sympathize with Mordecai and Finn). I felt like I was growing up with these characters.
@@stephenbyrne2170 He can't deal with the fact that Rigby's life is turning around , he got a gf and is now graduating high school. While Mordecai went through 2 break ups and accomplished nothing else
@@sifutophmasterofeyerolling2513 Of course. I've seen it all before. Mordecai is so angry and afraid that someone might actually be better than him in life that he can't swallow his pride long enough to actually do anything for Rigby.
@@sifutophmasterofeyerolling2513 Because deep down he considers himself better than Rigby and no one likes to see their inferiors surpass them. People like to see you doing well not better than them.
yeah but he had no right to take it out on rigby. he was being a brat and was mad that rigbys life was turning around and he has a steady relationship and he did all that by himself and mordecai only went through 2 breakups and nothing else
Mordecai wouldn't have become a simp if it wasn't for rigby's actions about the letter. Rigby screwed his best friend's life, and all just because he couldn't go to the Same college as Mordecai, boohoo little crybaby 😒
@@bil.johnson_ Rigby doesn't deserve to have a girlfriend either, Rigby might even be as big a creep as Mordecai because he dreamed about seeing Eileen in lingerie.
@@PowerRangersFanAntiDinoFurylol WHAT? People like you are why I don’t trust other people’s judgement. We could watch the same exact event and you’ll come to a completely different and wrong conclusion.
Even though Mordecai is an asshole I think his anger towards Rigby is valid. Rigby should've been happy for Mordecai when he got accepted into their dream college but no, he decides to mess everything up for him, Mordecai would've been able to find a better girl too instead of wasting time trying to win Margaret's heart and then wasting even more time trying to win CJ's heart if Rigby had just been the mature one and let Mordecai go to college U.
@@PowerRangersFanAntiDinoFury rigby made a mistake yes, but rigby had noble intentions behind the rejection. sit in rigby's shoes for a second, his dad was terrible and no one cared for him. mordecai was the ONE person who felt like family to him, losing mordecai was like losing a brother to him. the difference between rigby not being happy that mordecai got in and that he didn't was solely because rigby and mordecai wouldn't have been friends anymore. whereas here mordecai is just angry because of jealousy. mordecai has almost no excuses for being a dick too, his parents were amazing especially his mom who he always pushed away. and mordecai is not as loyal as rigby ever will be. rigby even trapped himself with the past mordecai in one episode because mordecai messed up with margaret, that's how much of a buddy rigby is. even after all of this shit life he will still be there for you, i garruntee you if the roles were flipped here and it was mordecai who graduated rigby would be happy especially knowing that he would still be friends with mordecai. that being said mordecai is also a great friend but if we're comparing which one is better i'm going to have to say rigby. mordecai and rigby are kind of comparable to GTA 5's character's trevor and michael. the reason why trevor is so loyal to his friends is because he has no family, this is the same with rigby who does have a family but not a great one, therefore he is loyal to his friends instead as he sees them as his family more than his own. mordecai is not as loyal just like michael because he has a family, i guess the difference is that michael had a family but not the best one whereas mordecai had a great family.
I mean it definitely hurts even more if you’re as insecure as Mordecai, but I could see anyone feeling this way in his shoes. It’s like this: “Hey, you know that friend of yours who you went into this dead-end job with? The one who wouldn’t have gotten the job if not for you? The one who was much more irresponsible than you and dragged you into countless predicaments over the years? Well now he’s got a steady girlfriend, he’s happy, and he’s getting his life in order. Meanwhile you just got out of two devastating breakups. What the fuck are you doing with your life?” Any way you slice, it, that has to hurt bone-deep.
Mordecai had to be in this spot at some point for him to get to where he got in the end. It’s the same thing with Rigby; he had to be a selfish, careless idiot to get where he got as well. And if Rigby doesn’t go back and finish high school, Mordecai never goes back to finish art school. People often get so wrapped up in not liking what characters do in a show that they forget to consider whether or not it’s necessary or makes narrative sense. In this case it’s absolutely necessary, and it makes complete narrative sense.
@@jamescarlisle4023exactly it's not like those characters are criminals in real life because there mistakes it don't have to be all that serious Because it's just a cartoon at the end of the day
Honest i don't blame mordecai for hanging up on rigby all tho i did feel sad when the was song was playing and rigby was swuggling to practice on making a speech
Rigby kind of deserved to be treated like that, any selfish jerk who isn't happy for their best friend almost going to his dream college is just plain stupid. Graduating high school was a huge step for Rigby but doesn't his best friend deserve to have a good education too?
@@PowerRangersFanAntiDinoFury mordecai got over that and forgave rigby. what this is about is mordecai going nowhere in life while trying his best to be responsible, and rigby being very irresponsible but having a stable relationship and getting his life in order.
Tbh this was one episode I was not happy with Mordecai in I felt like as if he was not supportive of Rogby growing as a person. Sure maybe he was doing it now in his 20s but people who grown and change are someone u should support.
I get that feeling. you witness everyone's successful while you're not
