To think Adventure Time is one of the strangest cartoons out there

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

Hello choosegoose!

Ds's GD has banned Gumball because of Miss Simian's pendulous breasts. Confused In other news, ds now knows what pendulous breasts are. Hmm

I love Adventure Time but OH gets grumpy when I record them all and watch them after the kids have gone to bed. He just doesn't get it. We call him the Ice King and he doesn't get that either.

Anyone seen gravity falls? Made by some ppl who make AT , its disney but really dark

granulatedhappiness · 26/03/2015 11:02

Haven't seen Gravity Falls so will give it a try. We're looking forward to watching Over the Garden Wall that starts soon on cartoon network. DD says it looks "magical" Smile

I came across it by accident , its great with a whole mystery thing going on throughout, its set in the oregon vortex, i just googled ms simian those are some creepy tits lol

I lovrd AT to start with, then it all started to feel a bit... I don't know, 'forced' maybe? Like the creators are rubbing their hands with glee thinking about the merchandise they can flog and how cult they can make it. And how in a 2035 version of Big Bang Theory they'll all be playing rock paper scissors Jake Ice King or something.

I much prefer the Regular Show, especially the episode with the practical joker and the phone "the 80s called" Grin . DS has Regular Show biscuits, Mordecai and Rigby often say hello to each other before they're eaten Grin DS is 3.

I love John DiMaggio's unique voice, so I do dip in and out of Adventure Time. I grew up on Dexters Lab, Cow and Chicken, Powerpuff Girls, Animaniacs, they were 'kooky' at the time. Adventure Time is just bizzare with the odd bit of brilliance. I'm getting old obviously.

Yournotfeckingserious · 26/03/2015 12:49

I love it...Grin

ChoochiWhoo · 26/03/2015 13:44

I love the song at the end of AT...

Marcelinewhyareyousomean · 26/03/2015 22:42

chooch they are creepy tits. I'm not sure ds noticed before his gd pointed them out. Richard has a cracking pair too.

elQuintoConyo · 26/03/2015 23:15

Oh, Cow and Chicken! Do you remember Ren and Stimpy? They were fantastic!

elQuintoConyo · 26/03/2015 23:16

And Salad Fingers "oooooh, rusty spoons" Grin

AryaOfWinterfell · 26/03/2015 23:51

DD(8) & I love AT, we also watch Regular Show, Gumball & Clarence.

Mind you my kids have been raised on Studio Ghibli & Hayao Miyazaki films and you can't really get surreal than Panda Go Panda imho.

My DD covets an AT poster she's seen where Jake imitates Totoro rismo.deviantart.com/art/My-Neighbor-Jake-297448123

I think AT is a fab show full of strong females & two best friends who would do anything for each other.

FoulsomeAndMaggotwise · 27/03/2015 14:28

We love adventure time!

named our new baby Marceline

ToastyFingers · 27/03/2015 15:50

Dp and I love adventure time.

I'm not sure if anyone has mentioned, but Jake is voiced by the guy who is bender in futurama.

TheWitchwithNoName · 27/03/2015 16:52

Grew up with Ren and Stimpy, my Mum tried to ban it with no luck!

Love AT but prefer RS and Gumball - you are just a pet that grew legs - cutting! ??

FelixFelix · 27/03/2015 17:00

Clarence is so funny. We love Adventure Time & Regular Show and always watch them when dd is in bed (she's only 15mo so a bit young yet). Although me and DP are quite in to cartoons and also watch Archer & Bojack Horseman etc.

BiscuitMillionaire · 27/03/2015 17:15

I'm not sure if this is stating the obvious but don't you think that the Ice King and Marceline are symbolic parent figures? Ice king / father - cold and remote, bit scary, Marceline / mother - sometimes caring sometimes frightening (a vampire!). Or was that just my parents?Grin
