“You can’t touch music… but music can touch you.”

Who said it?: Mordecai

The story behind the quote: This week’s quote comes from the Cartoon Network original program, Regular Show. The show revolves around two best friends, a raccoon named Rigby and a blue jay named Mordecai. It generally follows their lives and misadventures with their other friends.

The quote comes from the episode, “This is My Jam“. The duo find an old cassette tape and, after playing it, the song gets stuck in their head. They eventually get the it out but the song then manifests in physical form as a giant cassette tape with arms and legs. Rigby tries attacking the song as he’s sick and tired of it. But when he tries to, he passes right through him while the cassette tape is able to slap him around. Mordecai then delivers the quote to explain why this is the case.

Geek wisdom: Physical things can affect you and so can emotional things. Things such as simply being with friends, being all by your lonesome, remembering things from your past and, yes, music can affect you despite not really interacting with you physically.

The story behind the quote: Once again, I have to show thanks to DJ Miller as he managed to find another wonderful quote for the site. We really appreciate the assistance.

This week’s quote comes from the Cartoon Network original cartoon, Regular Show. The cartoon generally revolves around two best friends, a blue jay named Mordecai and a raccoon named Rigby. Both of them work as groundskeepers for a local park and they, along with their friends, go on various misadventures.

The quote comes from the final episode of the seventh season, Rigby’s Graduation Day Special. Rigby, finally graduating from high school, is tasked to give a speech on the day that will be broadcast all over the world. This does make Rigby nervous as he doesn’t know what to say. After Mordecai admits he always felt good about himself as he was always better than Rigby and he was jealous his friend was doing something that makes him better, Rigby hits an epiphany and realizes what his speech is going to be about. Rigby says it’s easy to not study and not graduate from school and he basically only did it to impress a girl. He then states all the things he had to accomplish to graduate. This is when he delivers the quote.

Geek wisdom: We’ve all had to go through hard times and struggles. Once we get through them, however, things do become easier as all the hardship is past us. As long as we have people we love and care about with us, anything is possible.
