Or the mutants get pushed underground by the candy people.  There seem to be rivers of green ooze underground.

I just thought it was funny that in an episode that starts out with Marceline announcing she was give starved fans the backstorythey want, they go ahead and remind us that the show has infinite other backstories it can pursue.  Next season we can scour the titles of episodes and speculate that one of them will tell us…

I wouldn't start with this episode though.  It's like reading Lynda Barry, you have to come in for the laughs before she starts fucking your shit up.  (Her latest, The Freddie Stories, is really good.)

Actually that's easy to believe.

Unitl this episode, they justifiably just thought of the Ice King as a villian to pound on. But now that they know his noble beginnings, they can't continue to cavalierly kick the crap out of him and uh, maintain their alignment.  In the last backstory episode (I Remember You), the writers kept F&J outside Marceline's…

It's sad, but given the Calif law it's also ironic.

It's not the meanness, it's the meanness for its own sake and often without cleverness.  His guests are meanies too, but they are really funny too and none of it feels gratuitous.

I'm still mystified at the general acceptance he gets here from the AVC staff and commenters (and those guest comedians should be fucking his shit up, not nodding along).  He's not Seth McFarlane, but they share some of their worst qualities. 

Sad songs is different from the others mainly because the songs are more accessible lyrically, there is a fantastic female vocalist element, and the music is relatively less complex and layered.  But you still have that velvety voice, blase attitude, and it still sounds like a National record.  It's also one of my…

Fanboys ruin everything.

That's the difference between Family Guy and Colbert, right there.

Whoa there buddy.  Didn't you see the part where Brian gave Peter a tut-tut for his backward views?  That fixed it, like it does every show.

Adventure Time, King Worm episode, really captures that whole way dreams usually have a thread or a theme, but the supporting scenes and transition from one to another don't resemble anything like storytelling.  Not a lot of people like that episode, but it got some love for portraying dreams well.

Anytime Neely takes on religion is great, and his Sodom and Gomorrah short is his masterpiece.

I think you are right about the fluid animation vs the stills.  I look at every little thing in the stills and it pays off, but he did not add all those little details in the AS series.

I don't care about missing Robert Loggia because otherwise the reviewer was spot on: the episode started with a pretty funny premise and ditched it for a needlessly seedy, boring arc with a bunch of lazy racial/religious jokes and an unearned resolution.

As long as we're on this album, let's give props to their cover of Just Like Heaven.  Primal scream in the middle was everything.

It's a fun song, I'll bet it goes early.

The original Thumb is great, and the 7-minute version is a wonderful revisit.  I really love this album.

That's my point, he's not really good at being a comedian.
