“ | Did somebody order an accountant? | „ |
~ Don |
Donald "Don" Michael is a supporting character in Regular Show. He is Rigby's younger, taller, and more muscular brother, who appears in the episode of the same name.
He was voiced by Julián Dean.
Appearance[]
Don looks exactly like Rigby, taller than all members of the park and has a muscular build. Like Rigby, he has short spikey hair, brown and grey fur, black circles around his eyes, and a long tail with 6 dark brown stripes, and he almost never wears clothes. As a child, Don was almost identical to how Rigby looks currently, which gave people the impression that Rigby was younger than him due to being shorter. He wore a blue and white baseball cap with his name on it, and had buck teeth.
Personality[]
“ | Guess there's only one person who can help me now..(calls a number) Hey, can you come over? I need your help. | „ |
~ Rigby |
Don is shown to be friendly and is able to perform his job with a positive attitude, unlike his slacker brother. He is shown to be affectionate, as he likes to give people "sugar", which is what he calls hugs. Don cares for Rigby despite the latter's resentment towards him. He is also generous such as when he allowed Rigby to borrow his car in "Gymblonski".
History[]
Season 1[]
He is actually Rigby's younger brother (despite him being of larger size and having a deeper voice than Rigby). Don admires Rigby and attempts to be like him; for example, Don claims that he stopped wearing clothes because Rigby started walking around naked. Despite this, Rigby resents Don because everyone seems to prefer Don's company over his own. While Rigby is poorly educated, usually penniless, and hardly gets things done, Don is an accomplished accountant, drives a Corvette and has his own house.
Don gives everyone a shake-hug (hugging someone while patting them on the back or shoulder with one hand) which he calls "sugar." At first, Rigby hates him, but at the end of the episode "Don", Rigby finally gives Don some "sugar" and is on better terms with him. He is at least a year younger than Rigby and, despite being the younger brother, Don is the opposite of Rigby; Don is nonviolent and mature. He is still easily-relaxed and very nice to others, always offering sugar to possibly anyone, which made him more popular than Rigby. Don later admits that he did not want to overshadow Rigby, since he tried to be like Rigby as much as possible.
Seasons 5,7 and 8[]
Currently Rigby and Don are reconciled and love each other like brothers and get along well as in the episode "Bank Shot" "The Thanksgiving Special", "Just Friends", and "Gymblonski". He was metioned in "Rigby in the sky with a Burrito", and "The Lunch Club".
