Oprah might have her favorite things of body lotions, cars and just really cool stuff. But my favorite thing this week is the Regular Show on Cartoon Network. Yeah Boy! My nine year old son introduced this to me. At first I was luke warm to the show. Then I saw the episode called Free Cake and I lost my mind. I was sitting next to my son, laughing out loud. The two main characters are two 23-year-old friends, a blue jay named Mordecai and a raccoon named Rigby. They are employed as groundskeepers at a park and spend their days trying to slack off and entertain themselves by any means.

The motivation behind the Free Cake episode is exactly what you think. If starts with an innocent plate that was embossed with “Simon Kipner – Godfather of the Soul Patch. They were going to throw away the plate and then the idea comes in you know what would look good on that plate … cake. The duo have nothing at home so they have go to the Grocery Store (that is the official name of the store) and find out cake mix cost $1.50. They do not have money, but they have plenty ideas of how you can get free cake… someone’s birthday.  After asking everyone they work with, they find out that Skip the yeti’s birthday is today. They convince their boss Benson a gumball machine to let them throw a surprise Birthday Party for Skip at 8:00pm. They will be in charge of the cake. I could go into details, but it would ruin this episode, all I have to say it involves adventure, flying babies, El Camino, a unicorn and friendship.

The Regular Show is innocent in nature. It reminds us thirty something parents of what it feels like to be the young twenty something old person again (without the drug enhancements.) It does occasionally try to throw in some adult language like piss or they try to shorten it and a say p… off or s… instead of the vulgar word for poop. It is a higher brow than Beavis and Butthead but not kids play like The Wiggles. If your child is age nine and above and has a pretty mature sense of humor i.e. understanding sarcasm. I think you will enjoy watching this show with them, add it to your family fun time to do list.  

Regular Show is an American animated television series created by J. G. Quintel (formerly a creative director for The Marvelous Misadventures of Flapjack).
