I still find it funny that after being declined by Adult Swim, Quintel was approached by Cartoon Network and was asked "Hey, we need a new show to fill out some timeslots, have anything?", so then he saw his proposal to AS that went through and thought, "Yeah I can make this work as a kids' show". And then somehow he managed to make it work as a kids' show, surprisingly well in fact.
and they are in an alternate universe where they can’t remember their friends but in regular show they feel a special bond of memory which is why Benson can’t fire him
@@rachelmarion7161 Its not slang, its just a trendy way to say something with complete disregard for how the words "today" and "year" connect. I just think its stupid
its not a acid trip thia and regualr show have nothing in common except the fact that benson and mordicai are in this but this has nothing in common with regular show
Jiren in your recommendations this actually was gonna be on adult swim but they denied it because of show space to Cartoon Network took it like years later or so
The fact that this was uploaded in 2007 3 years before Regular Show aired makes this video even more precious this is a piece of tv history, please dont ever delete this
I can just imagine anyone in 2007 just shrugging this off as just another "internet video" when in reality it was destined to become one of the greatest animated television shows of the century.
I remember my big sister showing this to me as a kid from some DVD she got from some film festival called Spike and Mike's or some crap. Several years pass and then I recognize the characters on this new show called, "the regular show".
I still find myself coming back to this short 10 years after seeing it for the first time. Damn it makes so much more sense now that I’m not in 3rd grade 😂
It took for it to be 4/20 2024. for me to finally watch this video. And I didn't even smoke or take anything... This has been sitting in my Watch Later probably before COVID. 5 years or more, definitely.
CN really want to focus on adult cartoons thats why they have adult swim but Kids cartoon got popular And there were alot of viewers who hated more childish cartoons so they come up with an idea to get jg And regular show was born But parents more likely hated the show due to the adult references but who cares
benson so high he forgets he's the one who does the firing
More like, Mordecai, your sharing that acid or YOU'RE FIRED
But mr mallard Cam fire him.
It's weird this was made before regular show many one of the workers made it like this as a test
FNAF pizza is magic™,exactly,this was a test,and I'll be honest this was a smart test,and I small play around of the show itself.
ikr
Everyone's talking about how Regular show is actually an acid trip, honestly I'm just fascinated to see Benson cursing, it just... Suits him
RIGHT
Yeah
Than you haven't seen that mississippi queen trip they took from those peppers gud times
Im just surprised that morticia and benson worked together

Cartoon Network's cartoons were wild in the 90s. Cow & Chicken had them eat literal pork butts. Even the Devil was naked.
It actually makes completely sense that it was originally an adult swim pitch
Remove the cursing and the outright drug use and most of this isn’t all that inappropriate. I have to imagine his AS pitch was similarly malleable
@@toto3777Pog
Misuse of commas.
This is some amazing lore. The story of two perma-fried coworkers who long forgot they were once humans.
Benson: "If this shit fucks up my brain..."
Benson 10 years later: "YOU'RE FIRED!"
Not to mention sets up one of the best CN shows.
Me and my bro call it perma-highed, might have to use your version tho 😂.

This adds so much to the regular show, it actually feels like a real episode.

Hearing Benson swear just feels so much more right.
This feels more alive
it feels so natural 🗿🗿

Regular show summed up in one sentence:
“Do you have a better idea?”

Or
Rigby says: “I can fix it” pretty much all the time.
Pretty much everyone says “Dude” heaps
Lots of other things.
This is what you call "an all time classic".
