~ Mordecai stands up with his friends against all the villains of the show.
Mordecai is one of the two protagonists of the 2010 Cartoon Network animated series Regular Show, andRegular Show: The Movie.
He is a 23-year-old (later 24) blue jay and is Rigby and Benson's best friend. He works as a groundskeeper at the park but often like to slack off with Rigby.
He was voiced by J.G Quintel, the creator of Regular Show.
Mordecai is a tall blue jay. He has blue feathers with a white linings on his chest. Plus, Mordecai has a black beak, as well as black stripes on his tail feathers and fingers, as well as two white stripes on his wings.
Personality
Mordecai would be best described as mild-mannered, easygoing and good-natured. Out of the duo, Mordecai displays far more patience, intelligence and responsibility than Rigby does.
Even though almost every problem in every episode that was caused by the duo is Rigby's fault, Mordecai puts up with the latter's laziness and incompetence, once filling out a job application for Rigby because he claimed it was "boring". Mordecai tends to be more sociable and friendly than Rigby, and has much more manageable relationships with others. Although Mordecai naturally despises work, he strives to keep a good reputation, once almost losing his life to avoid being labeled as a slacker, and vouching for extra work to pay for concert tickets.
Mordecai's most notable shortcoming is his inability to maintain his romantic relationships, Whenever he was around his former crush, Margaret, he would be in loss of words or lose focus. In spite of this, he would often make up excuses to go to the Coffee Shop just to see her. After she loved him back, but she cannot be his girlfriend, leaving him tearfully in season 4 finale.
