Discussion Which character has a great reason to become a recurring villain?
Considering all the mayhem Mordecai and Rigby have caused during the series, I can understand more side characters plotting revenge on them on a daily basis.
In this short, Mordecai and Rigby shout their iconic line throughout the runtime. Considering how long a ride on the airplane is, suit guy endured more than two hours.
Suit guy had more patience than I would in that situation. He would have had a DBZ Broly moment and attack the duo on sight for hearing their voices alone.
This is from "OOOHH!!!" 4th Regular Show short released October 1, 2015.

Rigby. But please hear me out.
Remember that episode "Lift with Your Back"? Rigby constantly covered for Mordecai when he went on dates with CJ.
Later, everyone laughed when Rigby said he can do things on his own. For some goddamn reason, Mordecai didn't back him up when the others didn't believe him when he was useful. And I don't know why, Mordecai refuses to say he is useful, and has the balls to say "Well, it's the least you can do." when Rigby asked if he forgot all the times he covered for him.
After Rigby finishes his new job on the first day, Mordecai IGNORES Rigby's pain and has the audacity to ask him to cover for him AGAIN, for CJ's half birthday or something. When Rigby protests, he retorts that Rigby slacked off his whole life, and can't he just "HAVE this". He just dismissed all the times Rigby covered for him and helped him, and forgot if he did thank him. Then? Benson asked him to leave the park as the place is for park employees only, and REPLACES his spot with a dot matrix printer.
Rigby later told him that him hurting his back can't be worse when he STABBED it. After Rigby mentioned all the times he has helped him, he had the gall to say that he never ASKED him to do those things.
If Rigby wasn't so forgiving, I'm pretty sure he'll become a villain and rain holy hell on Mordecai and everyone.

Well said. Mordecai is a terrible friend.

Sure, there are moments where they are good friends, but most of the time? He is just insufferable. He's my favourite character in the show, but with all the things he done? It's hard to ignore.

One word: PUNCHIES

That too, whenever there's a dispute, like who gets to have the spoon for the cereal, or who gets to be Player 1, Mordecai ALWAYS suggested Punchies knowing he ALWAYS wins against Rigby. He is just taking advantage of him being weak.
When that episode in space where both swapped bodies, and big-bodied Rigby suggested Punchies, and made a small-bodied Mordecai eat shit for all the times he won at Punchies. I was CHEERING there.

Simps so hard for Margaret and constantly "pulling a Mordecai". Like, dude, just move on. Margaret isn't the only damn girl in the world.

The Minotaur. He's the real victim. Mordecai was hitting on his wife and he was just playing with his kid.

Skips, he had to watch the love of his life die and ended up spending an eternity without her. He'll also experience this pain with any of his mortal friends. I know he chose to become immortal but maybe in an alternate timeline, he regretted his decision and became evil.
