And wonder what the creators were smoking when they wrote it?

Haha very true. The Ice King sang the theme tune from Cheers on one episode...kids couldn't understand why I found it so funny.

QueenFuri · 22/03/2015 19:23

Yanbu! Its crazy, the Ice King gives me the creeps though I quite like Marceline and the bubblegum Princess!

fattymcfatfat · 22/03/2015 19:24

love adventure time Grin

CapnMurica · 22/03/2015 19:24

I agree and expressed the exact same sentiment last night!

I quite like it though. I prefer Regular Show.

SomewhereIBelong · 22/03/2015 19:25

adventure time is one of the only tolerable cartoons out there!

at least it is not repetitive.

AlistairSim · 22/03/2015 19:25

I love the Ice King. He reminds me of DP.

Hardboiledegg · 22/03/2015 19:28

I love Jaaaaames Baxter the horse. He's not a regular character but well worth hunting out.

iklboo · 22/03/2015 19:28

I like it. DH & DS are big fans. But I prefer Regular Show & The Amazing World Of Gumball.

iklboo · 22/03/2015 19:29

Lumpy Space Princess is great. Oh y glob!!!!

MrsDermotOLeary · 22/03/2015 19:30

Big Adventure Time fans in this house, we love it. Thank god it's different from the usual drivel/fighting rubbish on kids tv.

It's very funny and my eldest (9) gets the jokes too. Love it.

MrsDermotOLeary · 22/03/2015 19:31

Lemongrab is my favourite - UNACCEPTABLE!!

Bair · 22/03/2015 19:33

I love the Ice King, his origin story is so sad.

A female princess into science.
More female than male characters overall.
Marceline dumps her sexist ex.
LSP loves her body.
Maths is cool.
Friendship and being nice is expected.

I love adventure time too. And I always sing along with the cheers theme in that episode (which puzzles my kids no end!) I. Love the ice king/marceline story

granulatedhappiness · 22/03/2015 19:37

Very strange but very wonderful. Possibly the only cartoon on a kids' channel about life after a nuclear war though....

Marcelinewhyareyousomean · 22/03/2015 19:39

I'm gegging in and waiting for Lumpyspaceprincess.

Regular Show, AT and Gumball have taken over here. No more Ben10.

hazeyjane · 22/03/2015 19:40

Everyone in our house loves Adventure Time, it is so clever and funny and odd.

The song that Marceline sings when she is sat by the fridge, about The Ice King makes me cry.

Dd1's birthday cake
Dd1's Marceline wristwarmers
Ds's Finn The Human hat

My kids cover the Adventure Time Monopoly set which features 'jerk tax.'

It is very funny

Ubik1 · 22/03/2015 19:42

That cake is amazing

MissMogwi · 22/03/2015 19:44

I love it. Possibly more than my DD's.

DP doesn't get it all, and ruins it by asking questions and generally being "WTF is this?" all the way through. Obviously he's not as cool as me.

butterfly2015 · 22/03/2015 19:44

I love regular show and gumball, we watch every day before going to school. Even oh watches now. I like adventure time too but don't see it as much.

I think it's hilarious when the mil comes to visit in gumball.

Idontseeanydragons · 22/03/2015 19:47

It's bloody wonderful Grin I could watch that Gumball and Regular Show all day. Fosters Home For Imaginary Friends used to be a good one - the sugar rush episode is well worth hunting down!

LumpySpacedPrincess · 22/03/2015 19:47

Best. Show. Ever.

ShipwreckedAndComatose · 22/03/2015 19:59

The amazing world of Gumball episode where they play the board game that has to be finished. Brilliantly funny (... or IS it?...)

QueenFuri · 22/03/2015 20:04

Ah see I much prefer Regular Show. I love all the references too the 80s and the music.

MrsPeterQuill · 22/03/2015 20:43

We love Adventure Time in our house especially Lemongrab.

Love, love Regular Show which is basically The Mighty Boosh in cartoon form and before it got crap.

I like Gumball but the dads laziness gets on my tits.

Lately the kids have been watching Uncle Grandpa and Steven Universe which for the life of me, I just cannot get into Hmm Grin
