YMMV / Regular Show S3E14 "Think Positive!"

Go To

  • Broken Base: This is one of the more divisive episodes of the series. Detractors often cite that Pops being the antagonist, Benson being portrayed as in the right (despite having legitimate issues and attacking his own employees), and Mordecai and Rigby's incompetency being dialed up to the point of contrivance make for an unpleasant viewing experience, whereas defenders cite the episode as the turning point for Benson's character and a great insight into his backstory and motivations.
  • Catharsis Factor: Benson brutally shouting at Mordecai and Rigby is incredibly satisfying, since their laziness and incompetence were driving him up the wall.
  • He Really Can Act: Sam Marin, during Benson's savage "The Reason You Suck" Speech towards Mordecai and Rigby. Apparently, Sam severely damaged his vocal cords and suffered a migraine from this performance.
  • Jerkass Woobie: Benson. Despite not being boss of the year material, it's difficult not to feel bad for him when he has to struggle with Mordecai and Rigby's antics. Not to mention that it's revealed he had a rather Dysfunctional Family growing up.
  • Signature Scene: Benson brutally lashing out at the duo for their behavior is often considered the most memorable part of the episode.
