Regular Show aired on Cartoon Network and is currently the second longest-running
Cartoon Network show behind Adventure Time. During its run time, you’d expect it to
pick up some very interesting antagonists, but which of these villains are the worst?
I’m Brad with WickedBinge, and this is Regular Show Villains: Evil to Most Evil.
The only rules that are pertinent this time around are the following. Firstly,
only villains from episodes of Regular Show and from the movie, no comics or games or any
of that sort. Secondly, the villain must appear at least twice. Regular Show has a pretty good
track record of one-off antagonists, and we’d be here all day if we included them.
So now it’s time to talk about the bad guys. This is The Bad to Evil category.
Starting off our list is Party Pete. Pete is assumed to be an Austrian party guy who
was kidnapped by the Underground Party Cloning Organization. He was cloned by
the organization as mentioned earlier, and his clone held parties in his place. The clone would
do any party for fifty dollars and included an ice statue. With Mordecai and Rigby however, he
only partied for ten minutes because of a lack of funds and then drank so much cola he exploded. The
real Party Pete helps Mordecai and Rigby defeat the Organization after they kidnap Benson. Pete
then retires from partying after this incident and relinquishes his title of party king to Benson.
Pete is an antagonist, but nothing more than that. He can barely be considered a villain.
The next villain on our list is Dr. Reuben Langer. Dr. Langer is an evil scientist who
appears towards the back end of the show. He is responsible for putting a dome on the
Park for the second time. For some unknown reason, he wants to usurp Benson’s role as
the park manager and incorporates a few plans to do so. However, as time goes on,
he instead decides to test the park workers rather than become one. He is also the one who inevitably
sends the park workers into space. However, he did this because he was part of the group that
wanted to unleash Pops’ true power. Langer is revealed to have done everything for the
forces of good in the end, which stops him from ranking any lower on our list.
The final pseudo-bad guy on this list is Nikolai/Thomas,
the Russian spy. Thomas is a Russian spy who is looking to move the park from the United States
to Russia. He does this by going undercover as a park intern who eventually becomes a
functioning member of the park over time. He grows a blossoming friendship with Mordecai,
Rigby, Muscle Man, among many others, and he becomes quite fond
of them. This is shown when he found out that the plan with the park was to make it explode.
Instead of letting Russia do such a thing, he turns the landmass around and goes back to
United States soil. He then goes into hiding and appears from time to time. Despite his trickery,
Thomas eventually becomes a good guy, stopping him from falling into the depths of our list.
A Solid Bold classic, The Summertime Song is next on our list. The Summertime Song is the
living embodiment of “Summer Time Loving, Loving in the Summer (Time)” by Solid Bold. Mordecai
and Rigby find a cassette with the song on it and play it, which gets stuck in Rigby’s head.
The song then becomes a living tape that begins to annoy the park workers, even stopping them
from working at times. It is eventually defeated when Mordecai and company write an even catchier
song that beats it. The living embodiment of the song, alongside many other villains, is
resurrected in “Exit 9B” where Mordecai defeats them once again. The Summertime
Song is more of a nuisance than anything else and seems to be running on instincts.
A living arcade demon, The Destroyer of Worlds is our next villain. The Destroyer of Worlds
is a video game demon who comes back to life when Rigby ignores Skips’ sticky note warning.
It wastes no time destroying anything and everything in its path as soon as it’s released.
It blows a bunch of stuff up and is eventually defeated by Mordecai and Rigby.
Much like the Summertime Song, it doesn’t seem to be making conscious decisions,
just blowing stuff up for fun, which means we can’t rank it lower.
The next villain on our list is the wrestling warrior Huge Head. Huge Head was accidentally run
over by Pops, who then also accidentally stole his identity during the episode “Really Real
Wrestling.” Huge Head vows to get revenge on Pops and is seen plotting his revenge repeatedly from
the bushes. He eventually tries to do his plan by ambushing Pops at the “Ugly Hole” that had formed.
Instead, he is pushed into said Hole and becomes a giant floating head, which he finds very nice and
realizes he is no longer mad at Pops. He does die, though, as we see his skull in a later episode.
But besides that, he has justified anger towards Pops, even if Pops didn’t intentionally wrong him.
The doppelganger Doug Shablowski is next on our list. Doug is a con artist who pretends to be
a drifter jumping from job to job. He is hired by Rigby to offload his work onto the supposed
drifter. He starts slowly taking on some of Rigby’s physicality and personality,
entirely copying Rigby eventually, down to the voice. He becomes an exact duplicate of Rigby
and has everyone confused. He is soon arrested after Mordecai sniffs him out, and Doug tells
Rigby to appreciate his life. Doug also has a previous criminal record, possibly relating to
his time as a serial scam artist. Doug ranks here because he is a criminal and does bad things,
but he is also somewhat a hard worker and gives Rigby an important lesson in the end.
Mordecai and Rigby’s main rival, Garrett Bobby Ferguson is up next. Ferguson is the
universe record holder for the video game “Broken Bonez,” which Mordecai and Rigby are coming upon.
GBF comes down to Earth and challenges the two to a Broken Bonez competition. He makes up a fake sob
story to get Mordecai and Rigby to intentionally fail the competition and then continues to play
the game. When Mordecai and Rigby beat his record, he explodes into a bunch of goop.
He is revived by his son Garrett Bobby Ferguson Jr to destroy Mordecai, Rigby, and the others.
He is defeated by the park workers and shares his disappointment with his son. GBF is an iconic
villain. However, he doesn’t do much outside of being a liar, so we just can’t rank him any lower.
However, Benson’s rival Gene pulls slightly ahead of GBF. Gene is the park manager of East Pines
and Benson’s biggest rival. Gene hates The Park so much that he and his goons steals the Curtis
Montgomery statue from the park every year. He also tries to destroy the park with a giant prank
war which, however, backfires. He’s also implied to be part of both Dome plots that would ruin
the Park. Gene is kind of childish and spends all of his time and energy on a silly feud. However,
he does have some redeeming qualities, such as when he helps the park employees deal with the
dark elf Quigliin and comes to their aid during the final battle as well. His redeeming qualities
don’t completely cancel his bad qualities, but they stop him from falling any lower.
Our next villain is the Grim Reaper himself, Death. Death is the incredibly ruthless,
cruel, and sadistic collector of souls in the Regular Show universe. Being a collector of souls,
he shows great pleasure in collecting them and enjoys toying with others. He likes to
toy with Skips because of his immortal soul, even laughing at him when Skips lost in arm wrestling.
He even tries to blackmail Skips to stop the pro bowling player from beating his team during
the tournament. However, like Gene, he has a few redeeming qualities.We see that he really loves
his wife and son. Also, he will always keep up his end of deals. Death is more respectable than Gene.
However, he has much more blood on his hands than Gene ever will, which cements his placement.
Corrupt radio DJ and supposed college student Night Owl is next on our list. Night Owl is a
radio DJ running a challenge where people have to stand on a billboard for as long
as possible. The winner of this challenge would get a vintage muscle car that he paid for himself.
However, when he found out that Mordecai, Rigby, Hi-Five Ghost, and Muscle Man were
planning to share the car no matter who wins, he expressed his dislike of the idea.
He freezes the four of them with liquid nitrogen and keeps them frozen until the year 4224 AD.
He now runs a museum with the entire idea based around the contest that supposedly
made him famous. Night Owl resides in a mech suit, and once the four park workers thaw out,
Night Owl hunts them down and tries to kill them. Night Owl may be a disembodied head in the future,
but that doesn’t even stop him from his evil actions, which places him here on the list.
Coming back from the dead to grab our next spot is The Capicola Gang. The Capicola Gang is made
up of three animatronic anthropomorphic animals named Dominic, Louie, and Amelia. Ten years ago,
they knocked over Big City Jewelers and came home with tons of uncut diamonds that they hid within
a pair of fuzzy dice. They then intend to make off with the jewels because the statute of limitations
had run out. They are defeated by the Park Workers and the FBI and are supposedly dead. They later
reappear where they give Pops counterfeit money for a restaurant in an attempt to get revenge.
They then attempt to kill the park workers, even going all out with this attempt. However,
they are stopped once again. They outrank Night Owl because of their previous criminal record
and their repeated attempts on the lives of the park workers.
The next villain on our list is an interesting one. It’s park manager Susan. Susan was brought
in by Mr. Maellard to replace Benson after he was demoted to Park Worker.
Susan is a much more strict boss than Benson ever was, even firing Benson
when he refused to follow her very strict overworking orders. Despite her strictness,
she is frequently shown to be thoughtful and organized with her paperwork and the like. With
Benson fired, she starts making the staff work even harder, which causes them to slowly morph
into her clones. When this plan doesn’t work out, she turns into a giant angry beast and tries to
kill Benson and all the workers. She is killed and eventually revived in Exit 9B, where she
is killed by Hyperduck. Susan may not have the criminal record of the Capicola gang. Still, she
was trying to turn all of the workers into clones of her, which is a terrible act in itself. She
ranks here because of her strictness, attempt to transform the workers, and a murder attempt.
Another very interesting character on our list is Principal Party Horse. Principal Party
Horse is a Horse from the Party Horse planet. He is also the principal of the school where
Party Horse 42699 comes from. When Party Horse 42699 comes to earth,
Principal Party Horse follows him. He tries to force 42699 to take his history test and gives
him an hour to study. However, that’s not why he lands here. There’s another obvious reason why he
lands in this section. He threatened 42699 by saying he would destroy
Planet Earth if he fails the test. But not only did he threaten to blow up the Earth,
he intentionally tried to stop Rigby from giving him the sharpener when 42699 broke his pencil.
We don’t know if he wanted to blow up the earth or just wanted to watch 42699 fail, but he
tried to make the Horse fail either way. Not to mention the whole threatening the Earth thing.
The destroyer of the obsolete styles, Internet/Streaming,
ranks next on our list. Internet is the living embodiment of the Internet,
a giant interconnecting computer network and the only one of its kind. But it is also a
sentient creature who wants to destroy anything and everything it deems as lesser than itself,
and everything that dares opposes its power. It destroyed Laserdisk even
though it was hired by them and claimed it would destroy everything it deems obsolete.
Later on, it becomes a much greater entity named Streaming and takes over an entire planet
against its citizen’s wills. He tries to kill Mordecai and Rigby as the team gets away and
then kills the last two Guardians of the Obsolete Styles. Internet is arrogant and desires to be
the only thing people use in the universe. His multiple kills and his arrogance rank him here.
Right outside the top three is The Hammer, who is next on our list. The Hammer is the
final boss of an unknown video game that comes to life from a foreign TV and a blackout. He becomes
sentient and instantly starts attacking the park warriors, punching and beating up Mordecai, Rigby,
Hi-Five Ghost, Skips, and Muscle Man in mere moments. Not only he tries to kill the main cast,
but he also fires a powerful blast and kills Jimmy, who was merely visiting the household. The
Hammer’s invulnerability and his multiple attempts on the lives of the main cast rank him here.
We now arrive at the one holding the Bronze Medal of Evil, Klorgbane The Destroyer.
Klorgbane is the evil brother of the Guardians of Eternal Youth who wants to reign over the realm
as a member of the council. Klorgbane starts as nothing more than a typical bully in high
school who particularly liked to bully Walks. He starts a fight with Walks during the prom and
nearly kills the man. However, he instead kills Mona, the girlfriend of Walks, and is launched
into orbits by the man he always bullied. Every 157 years, his orbit aligns to fight with Skips,
and he longs to defeat him. He also killed his brother, Archibald, showing his intense
power at the very least. His intense desire to destroy Skips is something very few other villains
in this series can claim they have. However, he is still outclassed by two very evil villains.
Grabbing the Silver Medal of Evil is a science teacher and volleyball coach,
Mr. Ross. Ross was a teacher and coach who was very proud of his volleyball team,
so much so that he gets angry after every loss,
no matter how narrow the loss may be. He was also smuggling illegal plutonium through the school,
much to the other admins’ surprise. He longs for revenge against Rigby for all the pain he
caused by exposing his smuggling and ruining his championship volleyball game. However, his
future self is what really gets him here on the list. He has a huge army that fights against the
Park Militia, made up of many recognizable faces. During the fight, he has his men rounded up and
kill the future versions of Muscle Man, Hi-Five Ghost, Skips, and Pops, all main cast members. But
his plan doesn’t have anything to do with them. He plans to destroy all of space and time using
a time tornado created by Mordecai and Rigby. He manages to even create a tornado for the second
time after the first is destroyed. He threatens to kill Mordecai if Rigby doesn’t reveal the truth.
After Rigby delivered his demand, Mr. Ross tries to kill Mordecai anyway,
although this plot is foiled. Mr. Ross then tries to kill Mordecai and Rigby even after he falls to
his supposed death. Ross is driven by revenge, much like Klorgbane. He has managed to wipe out
a squadron of recognizable characters in mere moments, which grants him the second place.
Without a surprise, Gold Medal of Evil goes to Anti-Pops. Malum Kranus, better known
as Anti-Pops, is the final and most powerful antagonist in all of Regular Show. He doesn’t
take that spot lightly, and he is also by far the evilest villain in all of the show. Even the way
he wastes time can be considered evil, as he makes one-star reviews of places he hasn’t even visited.
His goal is to finally defeat his brother instead of settling for the repeated stalemates they’ve
had in the hundreds of thousands of resets the universe has gone through. He tries to kill Pops
multiple times before their climactic final battle in the finale. He wants to destroy the entire
universe and nearly completed this goal many times in the past. However, he is always stopped by his
brother when the two clash and reset the universe. Even when doing small insignificant things,
he does them in an evil way, such as erasing a cashier from the entire universe because he was
taking too long. Even though he is the evilest, he does have one redeeming quality. He dies with
remorse in his heart because of his brother. Also, he’s voiced by Freddy Krueger, which is quite fun.
But don’t go just yet, now is when we give out our extra medals.
The Darwin Medal was hard to place, but it goes to Gene,
mostly because he started a prank war with a well-known prank mastermind, Muscle Man.
The Gluttony Medal definitely goes to Party Pete,
or at least his clone, who drank so much cola that he exploded.
A hard one to pick because of the options was The Wrath Medal which
eventually went to The Hammer because his whole deal is anger and punching things.
We give The Greed Medal to Night Owl,
who froze Mordecai and company just for the money that would be made because of it.
The Pride Medal could’ve gone to a few people, but we chose Internet/Streaming
because he feels that he is leagues above the other “obsolete” formats.
We’re giving The Sloth Medal to Huge Head, mostly because every time he
appeared while plotting he continually put it off by saying “hmm...not yet”
Finally, grabbing The Envy Medal is Doug,
a literal shapeshifter who takes over people’s lives and is obviously envious of Rigby’s life.
