Happy 44th birthday to J.G. Quintel! 🎉
Some creators stay behind the scenes. J.G. Quintel ended up becoming one of the most recognizable parts of the world he created.
With Regular Show, he turned the everyday boredom of two park workers into eight seasons of ridiculous adventures, unforgettable characters, and the kind of humor that could go from completely ordinary to unbelievably chaotic in seconds. And as Mordecai himself, Quintel gave the series one of its two central voices.
His work includes:
Mordecai (Regular Show)
Creator / Showrunner (Regular Show)
Josh Singleton (Close Enough)
Hi Five Ghost (Regular Show)
Creator / Showrunner (Close Enough)
Creative Director / Writer (The Marvelous Misadventures of Flapjack)
Writer / Storyboard Artist (Adventure Time)
Blue Jay (Adventure Time)
Director / Writer / Mordecai (Regular Show: The Movie)
Mordecai / Creator / Writer (Regular Show: The Lost Tapes)
And in 2026, Quintel returned to the park once again with Regular Show: The Lost Tapes, bringing Mordecai, Rigby and the gang back for a new chapter nearly a decade after the original series ended.
Happy 44th birthday, J.G. Quintel! For anyone who grew up watching Mordecai and Rigby turn an ordinary day at work into absolute chaos, his fingerprints are all over a very memorable era of Cartoon Network. 🎂💙
