About

Rigby's Mixtape is a series of videos that feature the character Rigby from the Cartoon Network animated series Regular Show playing a mixtape. What plays on the mixtape is changed in edits to the scene.

Origin

The scene comes from the episode "Video Game Wizards," which aired March 26th, 2012.^[1] In the episode, Rigby and Mordecai go on a road trip to a video game tournament, but Mordecai has picked Skips to be his partner at the tournament. Throughout the trip, Rigby aggressively targets Mordecai for not picking him. Rigby made a mix-tape with a song he recorded himself, called "Never Pick Their Friends." The night before the tournament, Rigby blasts Never Pick Their Friends from a boombox outside of the hotel they are all staying at, much to Mordecai's dismay (shown selow).
