The 'Regular Show Episode Progression' meme humorously highlights the formulaic absurdity of the animated series Regular Show. Each episode typically starts with Mordecai and Rigby performing a mundane task, like playing video games or raking leaves, only for the situation to spiraling into a supernatural or cosmic catastrophe by the end. The meme usually features a split-panel layout comparing the 'beginning' of the episode to the 'climax.' It became a viral sensation as fans used the template to describe real-life situations that get out of hand unexpectedly, or to parody the predictable yet wild writing style of the show.
