Original, if nonsensical, hilarity; expect minor weapons. Read Common Sense Media's Adventure Time review, age rating, and parents guide.

If reading that sentence made you dizzy, you could heed Prismo’s own advice to Finn (“don’t think about it”). But the astounding thing about this episode is how much sense it makes. Helpfully, it stays rooted in emotion. Although Prismo has always been Jake’s friend, Finn declares that he’s willing to do whatever’s needed to help because “sometimes you can think someone is totally cool even though you never become besties. And I don’t know why that happens, but regardless, let’s do this!”

No other characters have inspired as much devotion with as little screen time as Fionna and Cake, and the gender-swapped heroes get their best outing in “Bad Little Boy.” What starts as just another Ice King fanfic gets an upgrade from Marceline, who weaves a tale of romance, skeleton armies, and a totally sick party in the woods. The Fionna and Cake episodes always feature plenty of sword-swinging and punching, but they’re especially interested in exploring complicated relationships. “Bad Little Boy” is no exception, and the focus here is the gender-swapped Marshall Lee (Donald Glover), a skinny-jeans-wearing vampire king who’s suave, seductive, and a bit of a scoundrel. When Marshall Lee launches into a flirty song about how he can’t be trusted, Fionna can’t help but be drawn in and literally let her hair down. Ultimately, it’s an episode about navigating emotionally-charged friendships — and how to deal with a charming but manipulative jerk.

When it comes to epic scope, the show never quite topped the three-part sequence that closes season 4 and opens season 5. The Lich (Ron Perlman) finally enacts his master plan of ultimate evil, taking the hallowed artifacts that meant so much to Finn’s early adventures (the Enchiridion hero handbook and the princesses’ crowns of power) and turning them into genocidal weapons to wipe out all life in the universe. What ensues is an important lesson in unintended consequences and the unknowable complexity of cause-and-effect. When Finn tries to fix the damage by wishing that the Lich “never even ever existed,” he ends up transforming the world in unpredictable ways. After all, if there was no Lich, then there was no Mushroom War, and thus the post-apocalyptic land of Ooo we all know and love would never have come into being. Finn would instead have grown up in “Farmworld” with two human parents and a non-magical dog. Unfortunately, evil still exists there (as it does everywhere) and that world lacks any battle-hardened heroes to defend itself.

Finn’s sense of righteousness can only get you so far; sometimes you need Jake’s warm geniality (shown here in the ease with which he befriends even a weird god like Prismo) to really save the world. It takes two to make a thing go right, after all, and showing these two at their most characteristic explains why the episodes are specifically named after them for once.

I could talk about how this episode is the first in-depth exploration of Marceline’s past and how it dives deep into her moral complexities. I could talk about the growing friendship between Marcy and Finn. I could talk about the declaration by Hunson Abadeer (Martin Olson) that Gunter is “by far the most evil thing I’ve ever encountered.” But honestly, this deserves a top-10 spot solely for “Daddy, Why Did You Eat My Fries,” an emo anthem that is — like most of
