Mr. Maellard is a supporting character in Regular Show. He is the owner of the park and Benson's boss (as well as the boss of all the other workers of the park), is also the father of Pops and the husband of Mrs. Maellard. While not normally an antagonist, he is very well-known for his screaming that is even worse than Benson's as well as blaming Benson for everything that goes wrong.
He was voiced by the late David Ogden Stiers (who passed away in 2018, one year after the series ended), who also played Governor John Ratcliffe in Pocahontas.
