Man, this is what you call vision. He knew exactly what he wanted; the characters, their personalities, the songs they sing, their laughs and mannerisms, everything. I aspire to be like this.
to be fair he probably started with a faint idea and used his own personal experiences to bring color to the characters. While this sounds simple to do it takes a lot of creativity and commitment to actually create and produce. He's definitely good.
Here he definitely tried, Quintel just invested a little of his life and everyone around him, a lot of cool things from the past and present, and gave it life. It turned out to be a Regular Show, a cartoon uniting generations.
I was surprised they didn’t laugh at that scene because when it first aired, to me that was the funniest part. Especially with the sweatshirts cause we definitely were doing that at the time😂
It's a damn shame Close Enough got cancelled, but I hope J.G. keeps making more cartoons. I feel like he's already planning something, so it will happen. Also the one change that I find really bizarre is Rigby assaulting Pops. I guess it was changed because the idea of Rigby assaulting and old man is really messed, but honestly I'm glad we got the wizard pissing in the bushes instead, it's way funnier lmao.
The way I can remember this episode piece by piece in sync with JQ going thru the notes when I haven’t seen the episode in years just fills me with late nostalgia
saame! The songs and the facial expressions and everything. He was explaining it and it was like I could see the whole episode in my head. Sad times :(

I mean, mordecai’s design is based off of a short JG made where a character that was based on him dropped acid with a coworker. The coworker turned into what would become benson and he turned into what would become mordecai. So technically they’re supposed to sort of look like each other ^^
Man idk if J.G realizes but this show really saved cartoon network. Every generation had its great shows and after the golden age shows like knd, billy and mandy and ed edd n eddys ends, J.G really kept CN going, which really led me to hope that one day I can be apart of this animation industry, producing stuff that I have talked about for years to come
Hmm, I wouldn’t say “saved” because Adventure Time was bigger than Regular Show during their runs imo. They also had Chowder and Flap Jack, and the OG Teen Titans. But Regular Show definitely contributed a lot into it.
@@ChikoTheOGDog lol wtf is Adventure Time compared to Goated Regular Show, Regular Show is up there with some of greatest cartoons ever im talking prime Simpsons and Spongebob
Self inserting doesn't make you a bad writer. It's just easier to pull from your own life experiences than to make new ones. And the other characters don't suffer because of it.
It's crazy to think how this show has been out for a little over 10 years as of now. Imagine that, a FULL DECADE since back in late 2010! I was starting my 2nd year in HS, and now I'm in my late 20's, and it STILL has that timeless appeal to it. CN made a GREAT choice getting this amazing show on their network!
In 2010 I was 7, I'm a sophomore in uni right now and I never knew how much shows like this would affect my life. I'm making video games now and I can't believe I ever made it past HS
@@ChrisXIllustratesXGaming Shows like this and scooby doo aren't stoner comedy, it's just that all cartoons appeal to stoners lol. But in the case of shaggy he is definitely meant to be a stoner and mordecai and rigby are lazy/idiotic/underachievers so they have some stoner traits.
I find the creation process of this really interesting, and it's cool to see what changes and what stays in. You can see that JG really loves what he does.
@Frogger I've done it with a game before, you grow to hate stuff as you work on it longer and longer or if you hate who you're working with. But it can still turn out good, you just hate it yourself because of the aforementioned reasons.
@@foih_fg9 We don't expect a young kid to understand the difficulty of simultaneously storyboarding, writing, voice acting and coming up with great characters and building a world around them. In my opinion, only a genius could do that.
probably just took down the others after finishing up the first episode he was working on then put in the new ones for the next episode until he got a larger area to work with
I think it was just too dark for CN and it explains the magic aspect of the power more than giving a cereal company a thousand dollars because as Rigby and Mordecai said their poor

Thanks J.G and everyone who helped make this show . My childhood was defined by regular show lmao. Re-watching the series at 22 is giving me so much happiness.
I'll never forget when my mom first got into watching Regular Show. I'd been watching it and I got the season 1&2 DVD. I remember watching it and she came in as the song "Hangin' Tough" By New Kids on the Block was playing during the montage of the Broken Bonez arcade game and she watched the rest of the episode with me. She watched a couple more and got hooked so now both of us love it. She is a HUGE New Kids fan and instantly recognized the song even after only hearing like 3 seconds of the beat.
Honestly it’s crazy, how people were laughing irl in this vid, when typically when creators pitch shows, all the executives watching don’t/can’t laugh when getting pitched. So he’s just there giving out all this energy to a quiet crowd. JG is amazing.
This isn't an actual first pitch though. They all know how successful the show was and are probably fans themselves. If it was an actual pitch they'd have to actually be analyzing everything and weighing the good versus bad parts of whatever's being pitched; instead there's literally 0 pressure and nothing for the producers to actually think about. I guarantee the producers weren't laughing like that when he first pitched this episode.
@@jguerra0117 But it's not what you said though, you said JG was pitching to a quiet crowd of execs/producers when in fact he was re-pitching the show after its success to his team and aquaintsnces. They already knew the product was funny and laughed along. Is that to say he got no laughs at the original pitch, no, because he had to get some for the show to work. But either way, what Shellackle said was not what you said.
To be fair there's literally 0 pressure in this, you can't even rightfully call it a pitch. It's more like a recreation of his first pitch, but being able to turn the difficulty way down lmao
When I first saw The Power back in 2010, I was like "I'm sold. Bring on episode 2". The dialogue and Mordecai and Rigby's chemistry quickly became iconic. My friends and I couldn't stop quoting our favorite lines from the episode. I know it ended well but I still miss the show.
One of the the most relatable animation series ever produced. Season 1 really foreshadowed most of what young adults were going through like looking in a mirror. His Netflix series definitely carries on the tradition. Except this time it's Adulthood. J G Quintell really is an genius in his craft. 👍
@@-JimmyRustle- executives give more space once they know a show does well. This is the pilot so executives are much wary because it sets a precedent for what the show will be about.
God, it really amazes me how this man literally didn’t even put on a voice or other personality to do mordecai, it’s quite literally just him reading a script into the camera, which is funny in its own way.
They actually do this because it’s insanely hard for voice actors to copy someone’s actual voice! That’s why the voice actor of fry on futurama is the creator aswell!
@@thekidwhodoesnothing7512 he actually wasn’t the creator but the voice acting part I did remember correctly, it insured that they couldn’t replace him
This was the first show that aired that I judged so hard because of how it looked and I just finished it after leaving off season 4 years ago, and honestly this is such an excellent, well written show, there's so much depth and it matches me perfectly
I've seen "The Power" probably like 20 times, and it's insane how the episode is almost a carbon copy of this rough storyboard, even down to the tone of the sound effects JG makes. There were only a few things that were different, like how Rigby didn't hambone on pops but instead stole the keyboard from a wizard that left it unguarded while taking a piss.
Yeah, I could do without the piss wizard. Pizzard is pretty mid, but I’m guessing they didn’t want Rigby to assault Pops since the guy’s disabled thanks to a TBI. Like yeah, Pops is beat up a lot, but not for a pilot episode for kids when parents are totally going to watch.
@@welpiguess I don't think I would ever be able to do this. Pitching an idea of something that I felt very close to me, to a bunch of quiet executives inside a room would cause me to have a mental breakdown. The anxiety coursing through my body would be enough for me to not even pitch it in the first place.
@@marcomendex8780 you have to be conscious at the fact that you're in charge in that room, they're all listening to you, you control the story line you control what they are watching when they can talk the duration of the pitch. i think once you sort of come aware of that fact the anxiety goes away to some extent but regardless you'll still have those nervess, you might have a really good idea that the world is missing out of because of anxiety
If I ever meet this dude I’ll have to thank him for building my childhood memories! But to be honest this guy has the best emo haircut, except he’s super bubbly and happy!
@@b.mota_drumz My favorite part of the show is when Benson sees them fly through that shed and starts stress counting so Mordecai and Rigby start pumping their fist and cheering him on covered in pink paint. Then he gives them tinnitus later in the episode while he roasts them to a crisp anime battle syle
Regular Show was legendary, I was losing hope in Cartoon Network at the time and Regular Show kept it alive for me. As an adult now I still go back and watch some episodes from time to time for nostalgia or when I get high.
I would seriously watch an Adult Swim version where none of the cusses are censored...it would be really good....Regular Show was ahead of it's time and it definitely was a big part of my childhood
@@Da_Wang710 Close enough is the show made by the same people? I remembered hearing about it but i couldn't remember what it was. I need to figure out where i can watch that.
@@xriderthehero794 HBO MAX, everyone who loves this show, would GREATLY appreciate “Close Enough”. It’s actually sposed to be about JG himself!!!! And it’s definitely more for adults!
Here he definitely tried, Quintel just invested a little of his life and everyone around him, a lot of cool things from the past and present, and gave it life. It turned out to be a Regular Show, a cartoon uniting generations. And I'm glad that such people just exist and they continue to create something simple but legendary, it really inspires, and J. G. Quintel is just a cool man in himself.
Regular Show was one of those perfect cartoons to unwind with after I'd come home from work, the stoner humor brought me right back to my late 90's high school years
Regular Show is up there for me with one of the greatest cartoons ever. It was a such a sleeper hit. I remember seeing commercials for it and thinking "wow that looks weird and stupid", AND IT WAS EXACTLY THAT which made it hilarious. The mix of adult humor and slapstick comedy was amazingly done. And the characters were actually memorable. Good Show.
I watched the episode before and I can picture the episode playing in my head so well. His storytelling is actually good lmao... I EVEN GOT HOOKED THROUGH THE WHOLE video.
I’m literally treating this video as if it’s a massive elaborate joke that JG is explaining to a group of friends and this makes both that pilot episode and this storyboard skit so much more funny.
The show that kicked off the legendary run of one of the BEST Cartoon Network shows known to man. I grew up with this show and know every line and the entire plot of each episode. J.G Quintel, thank you for giving us this legendary gem
Regular show is such a masterpiece. It’s crazy how they can fit so much into 10 minute episodes and make a coherent story, i really hope they can come back to it in some capacity in the future.
I started watching Regular show when i was 14 years old and 10 years later i can still hear those dialogues inside my head. I remember me and my brother shouting "hamboning" randomly inside the house for no reasons and sometimes my mom gets confused because of it. Good times
@@juicyjuiciestjuice theyre not actually. storyboards have a more detailed vibe. theyre like the drafts of keyframes. thumbnails are just loose ideas that will possibly be changed

@@jguerra0117 But it's not what you said though, you said JG was pitching to a quiet crowd of execs/producers when in fact he was re-pitching the show after its success to his team and aquaintsnces. They already knew the product was funny and laughed along. Is that to say he got no laughs at the original pitch, no, because he had to get some for the show to work. But either way, what Shellackle said was not what you said.
@@jguerra0117 yeah you literally didn't say that. Like, you actually said the exact opposite, genius.
That felt like a flawless pitch you can definitely see how he got the ok to produce the show
To be fair there's literally 0 pressure in this, you can't even rightfully call it a pitch. It's more like a recreation of his first pitch, but being able to turn the difficulty way down lmao
@@Shellackle still cool tho
It probably helped that he also worked on earlier cartoon network shows like flapjack.
When I first saw The Power back in 2010, I was like "I'm sold. Bring on episode 2". The dialogue and Mordecai and Rigby's chemistry quickly became iconic. My friends and I couldn't stop quoting our favorite lines from the episode. I know it ended well but I still miss the show.
One of the the most relatable animation series ever produced. Season 1 really foreshadowed most of what young adults were going through like looking in a mirror. His Netflix series definitely carries on the tradition. Except this time it's Adulthood. J G Quintell really is an genius in his craft. 👍
It was on Max, not Netflix
He does a good impression of Mordecai. if only the real voice actor could hear that impression.
thats cause jg voices mordecai

I wish that part where rigby attacks pops made the final cut
That was gold😂
Well it denied the scene so, JG thinking something funny but not appropriate. The wizard scene taking a piss.
@@TriggerzConnors they also added that last part where skips breaks the keyboard
@@TriggerzConnors But they included a scene where pops is naked later on so not sure how that's appropriate
@@-JimmyRustle- executives give more space once they know a show does well. This is the pilot so executives are much wary because it sets a precedent for what the show will be about.
@@-JimmyRustle- lol they didnt even hesitate to slide adult jokes in
The fact that both the original and the rewritten way that Rigby gets the keyboard are both hilarious just shows this man's range😂😂😂😂
I NEED MORE OF THIS IT WAS SO ENTRETAININGGG
God, it really amazes me how this man literally didn’t even put on a voice or other personality to do mordecai, it’s quite literally just him reading a script into the camera, which is funny in its own way.
They actually do this because it’s insanely hard for voice actors to copy someone’s actual voice! That’s why the voice actor of fry on futurama is the creator aswell!
@@austinperez7640 rlly? Never knew that
@@thekidwhodoesnothing7512 he actually wasn’t the creator but the voice acting part I did remember correctly, it insured that they couldn’t replace him
He is literally just mordeci
Yeah
**figuratively
@@rigzmoviediaries654 literally
@@naobi666 no thats literally not what literally means
@@rigzmoviediaries654 this dude has never heard of a figure of speech !
This was the first show that aired that I judged so hard because of how it looked and I just finished it after leaving off season 4 years ago, and honestly this is such an excellent, well written show, there's so much depth and it matches me perfectly
I just love how JG sounds super chill
His voice and Mordechai's voice are so similar but yet so distinctively different. That subtle change he makes in his voice makes such a difference
I think you are referring too sound engineering.
@@jm4509 no... he is narrating, but when he talks as Mordecai his voice sounds different
He is voice acting mordecai
@@King_3398 L pfp
@@SDASermons I think he just speaks more expressively when voicing Mordecai
I've seen "The Power" probably like 20 times, and it's insane how the episode is almost a carbon copy of this rough storyboard, even down to the tone of the sound effects JG makes. There were only a few things that were different, like how Rigby didn't hambone on pops but instead stole the keyboard from a wizard that left it unguarded while taking a piss.
Sucks they cut that, really smart callback to a funny joke
Yeah, I could do without the piss wizard. Pizzard is pretty mid, but I’m guessing they didn’t want Rigby to assault Pops since the guy’s disabled thanks to a TBI. Like yeah, Pops is beat up a lot, but not for a pilot episode for kids when parents are totally going to watch.
@@urgae9125idk man, the Wizards moan and zipper sound effect while he's wearing a robe still cracks me up.
This guy has the power to make everyone laugh and used that power to make my childhood
This was so freaking cool! It really shows how much work goes into making a episode of a show
Man just pitching the episode seems exhausting physically and mentally.
you gotta really love your work. and be comfortable pitching infront of everyone, to be honest that first couple giggles makes you feel at ease
@@welpiguess I don't think I would ever be able to do this. Pitching an idea of something that I felt very close to me, to a bunch of quiet executives inside a room would cause me to have a mental breakdown. The anxiety coursing through my body would be enough for me to not even pitch it in the first place.
@@marcomendex8780 you have to be conscious at the fact that you're in charge in that room, they're all listening to you, you control the story line you control what they are watching when they can talk the duration of the pitch. i think once you sort of come aware of that fact the anxiety goes away to some extent but regardless you'll still have those nervess, you might have a really good idea that the world is missing out of because of anxiety
If I ever meet this dude I’ll have to thank him for building my childhood memories! But to be honest this guy has the best emo haircut, except he’s super bubbly and happy!
So fucking true dude.
So many great memories of this show...
@@b.mota_drumz My favorite part of the show is when Benson sees them fly through that shed and starts stress counting so Mordecai and Rigby start pumping their fist and cheering him on covered in pink paint. Then he gives them tinnitus later in the episode while he roasts them to a crisp anime battle syle
@@b.mota_drumz I couldn't breath laughing watching that as a kid, I love how they have no self awareness 😂
This dude is definitely from
California
JG is up there with some of the greats. He never disappoints man.
Regular Show was legendary, I was losing hope in Cartoon Network at the time and Regular Show kept it alive for me. As an adult now I still go back and watch some episodes from time to time for nostalgia or when I get high.
if you close your eyes all you hear is Mordecai explaining how his life is like through the third-person perspective
*** in a suit ***
Ik, JG is amazing
And then me and Benson did acid
wait what..
I would seriously watch an Adult Swim version where none of the cusses are censored...it would be really good....Regular Show was ahead of it's time and it definitely was a big part of my childhood
Close enough
Watch "close enough" this is literally what your talking about. The show is made by the same people
@@Da_Wang710 Close enough is the show made by the same people? I remembered hearing about it but i couldn't remember what it was. I need to figure out where i can watch that.
@@xriderthehero794 HBO MAX, everyone who loves this show, would GREATLY appreciate “Close Enough”. It’s actually sposed to be about JG himself!!!! And it’s definitely more for adults!
@@mvrkthesdby4700 It was taken off of HBO Max shortly after they cancelled it. HBO Max really screwed over JG Quintel...
The energy and passion this guy has is incredible, clearly born for this line of work
Here he definitely tried, Quintel just invested a little of his life and everyone around him, a lot of cool things from the past and present, and gave it life. It turned out to be a Regular Show, a cartoon uniting generations. And I'm glad that such people just exist and they continue to create something simple but legendary, it really inspires, and J. G. Quintel is just a cool man in himself.
JG is basically Mordecai’s human form.
There is a burger joint in big bear California
That uses a diet version of mordecai as their mascot
Laughed so hard when I seen it
@@rashoietolan3047 I’d love to see that myself, now I’m curious
this was honestly as enjoyable and entertaining as a real episode
Idk why, but hearing the voice of Mordicai explain this whole episode is so fricking entertaining.
Regular Show was one of those perfect cartoons to unwind with after I'd come home from work, the stoner humor brought me right back to my late 90's high school years
Regular Show is up there for me with one of the greatest cartoons ever. It was a such a sleeper hit. I remember seeing commercials for it and thinking "wow that looks weird and stupid", AND IT WAS EXACTLY THAT which made it hilarious. The mix of adult humor and slapstick comedy was amazingly done. And the characters were actually memorable. Good Show.
jolly good show
@@gost4864 I was thinking before I click see reply someone was going to say exactly that
Jolly
@Frogger nah
@Frogger nah
I have seen this episode so much because it's my favorite that I could hear their dialogue and all the music in my mind.
Such a great episode
I watched the episode before and I can picture the episode playing in my head so well. His storytelling is actually good lmao... I EVEN GOT HOOKED THROUGH THE WHOLE video.
Thank you. For making our childhoods fun and giving us memories we probably won't forget.
I’m literally treating this video as if it’s a massive elaborate joke that JG is explaining to a group of friends and this makes both that pilot episode and this storyboard skit so much more funny.
"I always wanted to date a girl named the Power"
Chainsaw Man fans: Yes
Oh hell yeah🤝
Lmao
Idk bout that one chief
@yellow nah she said shes be back
@@Questionable_Content Do you trust her words?
The show that kicked off the legendary run of one of the BEST Cartoon Network shows known to man. I grew up with this show and know every line and the entire plot of each episode. J.G Quintel, thank you for giving us this legendary gem
I love hearing the characters in his voice
He drew all of this like he's trying to picture a dream, and then put it on a wall.
And he looks very very enthusiastic to show them. What a legend.
I never knew how hard they create 1 episode. Damn
Right? I can only imagine how many sticky notes they use for the Halloween Specials and the movie itself.
@@kierratraylor6944 bro not only that they have to draw every single frame and color it all its amazing bro
and the creativity it takes, honeslty i don’t think i’ve not enjoyed a single episode in the series
@@DesToNice yeah
@@xhakathegoat842 For real this show was really good. Unpopular opinion, but.. Regular show > Avatar the last airbender IMO.
Regular show is such a masterpiece. It’s crazy how they can fit so much into 10 minute episodes and make a coherent story, i really hope they can come back to it in some capacity in the future.
I started watching Regular show when i was 14 years old and 10 years later i can still hear those dialogues inside my head. I remember me and my brother shouting "hamboning" randomly inside the house for no reasons and sometimes my mom gets confused because of it. Good times
storyboard (noun):
sequence of drawings representing shots planned for film or television production
Well that's what a story board is..
@@NicCrimson That's not a storyboard. lol
@@tommytowner792 are storyboards not the same as thumbnail boards?
@@juicyjuiciestjuice theyre not actually. storyboards have a more detailed vibe. theyre like the drafts of keyframes. thumbnails are just loose ideas that will possibly be changed
@@Rosie404 ooh gotcha ty
Also known as, "The Power: voiced by Mordecai"
I'm so glad this man made a piece of my childhood😂😂♥️
i’ve watched this so many times it’s truly impressive how creative this was
JG is my inspiration
Same here
damn right
Being hilarious as fuck Handling business and smoking super dank weed 🤝
this was smoooth
Agreed
Rigby hamboning Pops for box tops is easily the funniest moment in Regular Show that never appeared.
I loved this show so much that even to this day I still binge watch the episodes on hbo. Thank god I was born on the right time
Theres no way another producer could get me to watch a *pitch* of an episode and keep me entertained for this long. JG Quintel’s just...too legendary
You know who else can pitch "The Power" Regular show episode?
You know who else is also thankful for 2k likes?
