Judge dismisses Billy Mitchell’s lawsuit against Regular Show

There's no denying that Regular Show's Garrett Bobby Ferguson is inspired by real-life gaming personality, Billy Mitchell. Mitchell is most well known for his appearance in the documentary, The King of Kong: A Fistful of Quarters. It seems that Billy wasn't a fan of Regular Show's Garrett Bobby Ferguson, the character seen above. Mitchell took Cartoon Network to court, claiming that the Regular Show character was an 'invasion of privacy and a misappropriation of his likeness for commercial gain.' As most would guess, the court ruled that the character is protected by parody laws and Mitchell's case was dismissed.
