The Mathematical video was a definitely over the top, but I recall many people who aren't shippers reacting to "What Was Missing" with a general sense of "well that was… interesting." I didn't think of it in that sense when I first watched it, but I don't think it's as much of a stretch as many say it is.

If this show is consistent about anything, it's about showing us that there's a lot we don't know about PBubs.

What a great episode. It seems that Marceline has become too strong a character to simply relegate to second billing once in a while, and The Ice King's backstory is too fleshed out and tragic to have him play the part of the buffoonish bad guy anymore. While I miss episodes of Marcy just chilling with Finn, I'm not…

I found myself smiling more than laughing at their little scenes this episode. They were really just kind of sweet and straightforward.

I remarked last week how this show wasn't afraid to go dark (for a straightforward comedy, let alone one aimed at kids) for laughs… and then that end tag happened. Absolutely splendid.

Between this episode and the Tree of Life joke on community, art films had a rough night on NBC.

Some of the gags were funny (Britta's fumbling the camera with Shirley was great) but I didn't care for Jeff flying into full-on asshole mode by the end, and the end tag made me groan. I was a cliched ending, and one that undid what I thought was a positive development to that point: a redone Chang. If he's going to…

I think there might be some weird allegory for sex addiction in this episode somewhere. Xergiok's affinity for smacking goblin hams is pretty fetishistic, and the removal of his eyes reminded me of the old Bible passage about "if the eye causes you to sin, pluck it out".

My favorite is still Bonnibel. Which isn't even her nickname.

I imagine pragmatism would overwhelm the empathy of anyone who had to rule the Candy Kingdom. Based on what we've seen of its citizens on this show, PB's the only reason any of them can survive childbirth.

This show is not afraid to mine some dark territory for laughs, which is one reason it's so damn funny. I still think its darkest joke yet was the Summerween Trickster eating Gorney the trick-or-treater alive. Yes, the kid lives in the end, but it was effective entirely because it was perfectly plausible for this show…

Also, between the winking, green ass as an exit gag and Cake's bouncing rump taking up half the screen seemingly forever last week, Adventure Time is really embracing the fact that butts are inherently hilarious lately. Even more than it usually does, anyway.

Never has wanton destruction been so sweet and romantic.

I'm gonna call shenanigans here. The show is has lots of adult humor, but "filthy" is the last way I'd categorize it. It's actually remarkably straightforward and above board with its mature content, and the content is just that: mature, not dirty.

I thought the Annie plot was pretty bad, precisely because this is Community. Her character was given a cheap series of jokes so she could have something to do this episode that served to set her character back even further than the first episode did. Shoving aside three years of character development for some…

I have a rule of thumb: any movie described by multiple friends as "It's OK, and not the worst thing I've ever seen" is going to be a bad movie. Not "Birdemic" bad, but something I don't want to see. If it was worth a damn, it'd inspire more of a reaction. A lukewarm shower isn't as bad as a cold one, but you really…

Thank you, @avclub-02c1dd6ad234773aeffd7f7067784d58:disqus . And I have no clue. I guess Ice King just doesn't have a thing for lumps.

I love that Adventure Time has quietly let Marceline, PB, and Ice King take the reigns as lead in their respective episodes this season, more or less sans Finn and Jake. It's not that I don't want as much Finn and Jake hilarity as possible, but the supporting cast is so rich that they really can't just be contained to…
