House Rules

Mordecai and Rigby are tired of Benson's new rules for the house, such as the one which does not allow them to play video games, so they try to find places to stay for the night but don't find any places, until they find a man who lives in a box filled with trash, which is the portal to a world without rules. Mordecai and Rigby enjoy this place at first, but when they come to find that having no rules isn't all its cracked up to be, they then have to make it out of there alive. When they do, they go back to the park and sign off on all of Benson's rules, except for the video game rule which (luckily for Mordecai and Rigby) ripped out of the rule book during their escape from the no rules land, which lost it's name after Mordecai and Rigby escaped, because the video game rule ended up staying in the no rules land and causing the land to be abandoned.

Cartoon Network ordered six episodes on August 13, 2009.

Each show is composed of two 11-minute episodes.

Developed as an animated short for Cartoon Network's Cartoonstitute.

Two groundskeepers, Mordecai (a six-foot-tall blue jay) and Rigby (a hyperactive raccoon), are best friends who spend their days trying to entertain themselves by any means necessary, much to the displeasure of Benson (their boss, who is a gumball machine) and to the delight of Pops (an older, lollipop-headed gentleman). Their everyday pursuits often lead to things spiraling out of control and into the surreal: they open portals to other dimensions, summon demons via an '80s arcade game and accidentally use choreographed dance moves to send co-workers to the moon. All in a typical day's work on Regular Show.
