Regular Show has always been adored for being a mature Cartoon Network series that isn't afraid to make some pretty blunt stand-ins for adult situations and substances. However, they run a little deeper than one-off jokes! Benson Dunwoody has a completely secret arc that highlights his dark addiction and battle against alcoholism...through chicken wings. Yes, we're serious. His anger at Mordecai and Rigby has been remedied with throwing his life down a bottle. From drowning his sorrows in the sauce to finding love with Pam, here's the big moments in a big part of Benson's character development in Regular Show!

Honestly, Regular Show got really close to being the Rick And Morty of its time, I wish they'd gone all in on its adult themes and made it an Adult Swim show. It touched on topics that kids wouldn't get, like Mordecai's dating problems and Rigby getting his GED and his incredibly healthy relationship with Eileen.

You could've said no at ANY time, but you didn't. You have no one to blame but yourself." was such a good moment showing someone confronting him about his problem.

@gingerballin Год назад

That's not even remotely true. Benson is a nice guy deep down, until you offend him. Benson believes that if you're going to do a job, you do it efficiently and you do it right. Mordecai and Rigby almost never hold up to this standard. This is when Benson loses it and lashes out. There are plenty of instances where Benson starts out as peaceful but Mordecai and Rigby make his patience run dry. Like the time Benson got sandwiches for everyone on the house, and the two thought it would be funny to order the 84 dollar sandwich. The time Benson wanted to get donuts for everyone. Benson giving them plenty of chances to impress and make him proud. He puts genuine hope in Mordecai and Rigby, hope that he can teach them more responsibility

Just a point to your "dangerous rhetoric" thing that you touched on, I know it's after it's blown up and not a lot of people will see this but you're exactly right. Myself, and most other addicts/alcoholics I know drink and use because it's exactly the person they want to be when they're sober (for the most part). Funny, confident, able to brush off comments and not get angry over every little thing. Hell, even a great leader. I don't think it's dangerous to say that, if anything I think it's necessary to realize you're doing it for that reason. The important part is recognizing and working to make yourself the person you wanna be without it.

Regular Show is exactly what every single "adult show" wishes it was. They don't lean into being super extra edgy, or making sly "were so mature dropping f bombs all the time" jokes, instead they just straight up take these more mature situations at face value (or at least the most obvious that they could've done for a CN show) and throw them right there into your face and you either understand it or don't.

Thank you so much for this I appreciate your view on regular show is what I’ve always thought as well, and you all know the saying two great minds think alike. And if anyone doesn’t think this makes sense then they are in denial

While all these cartoon conspiracy videos do add a mysterious and dark twist that is exciting and seems like a leap into the dark for a kid’s show, as an adult it really just seems like the creators were making a show that can make social commentary based on real life while also making it viewable for kids. After all, most of us have had a raging dry drunk boss or two. Sometimes they relapse or other times just smash shit and scream in their office.

Also I think the show was so good was cause we could relate to it for the most part. I was probably 17-19 when the show came out, so Mordecai and Rigby(especially Mordecai) were characters I could relate to. Mordecai with his relationship problems and Rigby with his problems with not being seen as a reliable responsible adult due to actin out because of living in his younger brothers shadow. Because being the first born really is basically a test for your parents. And siblings after that are brought up different than how you were brought up. Long story short is the reason the show was/is so good. Is because it grew up with you.

I always liked how the gum balls in Benson’s head make up his facial hair.

Now that I'm an adult, I decided to rewatch the entire series. JUST finished it, and discovered this video. I'm in for a treat.

The show always seem like it was made for more of the teenage audience and maybe the a part of the kids but it always had a deeper meaning

I remember my dad would often side with Benson when I watched this as a kid, which is hilarious because we never picked up on how he's a psychotic binge drinker.

i havent watched the latest seasons i only watched around the first 3 since i only was able to watch it on tv and i dont have a tv anymore but it wasent like they were in order or anything but i loved it back then and i really did feel bad for benson when he was on screen even if he was yelling because i somehow understood him....

As a potential alcoholic myself (I don't drink often because of my child/late teen trauma and I tend to overdo it) I related to Benson, right down to being an angry dude most the time to being a fun guy to be around when intoxicated. I hope he had a good end in the show as I can't bring myself to finish the show.
