Regular Show - Skunked

The Regular Show episode"Skunked" just aired, so I thought I'd put this board up for you all to check out. This is the original version of "Skunked" I wrote and boarded (just the thumbnails-never cleaned it up). For some some reason, someone somewheres didn't like it, though it mirrored the "approved" outline (This happens more than you'd think where ideas get approved, then all of a sudden it's like, "Whoa whoa, where did this come from? You guys trying to pull something over on us?!".) So the episode was pretty much all re-written, introducing the bingo and were-skunk/Ribgy-transforming elements. Some of my lines were re-purposed and a lot of my drawings were used. But I still like this original version, especially cause I was able to inject some Black Snake Moan into the story, and for the nice Margaret/Mordecai moments. Overall it was more about Ribgy acting like a jerk because he thought everyone hated him because of the smell, but really everyone was trying to be cool about it. Enjoy?

Regular Show - "Mordecai & the Rigbys"

This episode of Regular Show aired last week. I wrote and storyboarded it with Shion Takeuchi. This is an earlier storyboard version that contains more/different jokes and a couple of cool different scenes that had to be cut. There was some funny stuff in this version that I was proud of and missed in the final, but what can you do. Enjoy!

UPDATE: I also wrote the songs that were featured in this episode and I thought they were going to be re-recorded by the composers, but they just kept my versions in. I just recorded everything in my apartment playing the different parts and threw a drum loop on there. Also both these songs are extended versions because the versions in the final episode had to be cut down for time.

PARTY TONIGHT (note: this is me singing scratch, latter replaced with Mordecai's voice)


SWEET LITTLE BABY as sung by Angel (actually me in the final episode, but this is a scratch version as well)




UPDATE 2: Here are the lyrics to the Party Tonight song for those who are interested.

Your eyes staring into my eyes
Who am I but a guy with two eyes on the prize
And the prize in my eyes is 10 times
The surprise in your eyes as I kiss you goodnight.

Your smile is the fire that rocks my soul
gonna remember it until I grow old
'Cause life is too short we gotta do things right
So baby let's just party to-night-
Baby let's just party to-night

We've come out on top, We're in front of the line
We're here to rock out and have a good time
'Cause the past is the past and the future is bright
So baby let's just party to-night
Baby let's just party to-night

Regular Show

"Regular Show" created by JG Quintel premieres tonight!!!

8:15pm on Cartoon Network (right after a new Adventure Time)

First episode "The Power" written & storyboarded by JG Quintel and Mike Roth

I work on this show now, so watch it. It's awesome. I hope you like it!

Flapjack - "All Hands on Deck" 2

Here are the original versions of the songs I wrote for the Flapjack half-hour special "All Hands on Deck". It's just me singing and playing the guitar. They were eventually re-recorded by the composer and the voice actors for the final show. Enjoy!


"I Wanna Be A Real Adventurer" - sung by Flapjack



"Look At Me, I'm A Sailor!" - sung by Flapjack



"Mamma and Pappa and Baby Me" - sung by Thomas Hatch, K'nuckles, & Bubbie




"Poseidon's Wrap-up" - sung by Poseidon


This song was going to go over the credits, and JK Simmons even recorded the vocals for it, but I guess they just decided to put some more Issac Brock theme music there instead.

Flapjack - "A Day Without Laughter"

"A Day Without Laughter" was written and storyboard by me and Somvilay Xayaphone based on a story by Steve Little. It was very different in its first inception, but it was changed a bunch after we turned it in. (I think somebody didn't like that it was about protesting or something.) So they pretty much changed the whole story, but left some of the details from our board in. The awesome Benton Connor reboarded the rest but didn't receive credit.

So, good or bad, here's the original version. Enjoy!

Flapjack- All Hands on Deck
