If it's true it makes the whole episode fall into place. Jake's dreaming subconscious sent out his tail to rescue the squirrel's gf and make amends for wronging him.

I know it was supposed to be a nose, but all I saw was a Cyclops clown the whole time.

I love the idea that BMO and Neptr are friends in the show. Almost makes up for the lack of love that Neptr gets.

u/coolkid1717 May 13 '14
Last time neptr told BMO they were the same BMO said "I am nothing like you" in a really condescending tone. Its quite a change that BMO is hanging out with him now.

That's just BMO playing detective though. I think it was just poking fun at the cliche.

u/nameless88 May 13 '14
Classic hardboiled detective schtick. Only way it could've been better was if BMO was wearing a trenchcoat and put a fedora on while saying the line and stepping out into the rain outside in a dingy cityscape full of neon signs.

What we also need to remember is that they're both robots so aren't sensitive about the same things as we humans.

I love how Adventure Time looks after all it's characters. I can't think of one who's really disappeared yet

Eat the ring leader, eat him Goralina!!
Goralina throws the ring leader

Ya but he should have bled in between getting it ripped off and the white stuff touching him

I took it as an homage to artsy mimes, as well as the once popular, long-suffering Sad Clown archetype.

u/Sookye May 12 '14
Not weird enough for my taste. It was an extremely conventional plot and the only real weirdness was that the protagonist was Jake's tail. And that detail just felt random — I don't like randomness, I like weirdness that messes with my mind. Just Finn's explanatory note about why he built the tower, "I'm going to space to punch my dad and steal his arm", was a funnier and more interesting type of weirdness than anything in Sad Face.

My son and I laughed so hard at this while my wife just rolled her eyes.

That quote sums up season six so far. I love the "artsy, deep" stuff, but these goofy episodes got me into Adventure Time.
Still, that was odd.
144
u/thattdudee May 13 '14
Really? I usually like the goofy stuff but since things are getting more serious now in season six, I find these goofy episodes to be annoying.

u/Bigjellybean May 13 '14 edited May 14 '14
I'm just learning to be patient with the flow. I love the intense story lines about the Lich and Finn's father, but consider how many AT episodes have been released. Some 150 episodes animated and released. Mortal Folly/Recoil, the three-part "The Lich" saga, and the two "Citadel" episodes are the only episodes with the Lich as a major plot line. All other episodes concern other 'Adventure Times' around Ooo. While the focus is on Finn's growth, we witness the unravelling of Ooo's traditions and secrets; the world is a character too, and so we get these interesting episodes that are mistaken as wasteful.
I hope that doesn't come off as condescending or annoying to you. I'm just sharing my thoughts after tonight's episodes. Still, we get ten minutes of new AT out of 162 hours each week. It can be painful. Just think when all the DVDs are out and we can soak in the goodness all at once =D

u/ZeekySantos May 15 '14
I like how the serious stuff perfectly meshes with the goofy stuff. I mean, finn builds a tower into space while singing a song about tearing off his father's arm? it's crazy in both a serious way and a "holy shit this is weird" kinda way.

With all of the leftover plotlines now dangling about from the end of Season 5 and Season 6, it's all getting interconnected, and the goofy episodes just feel sort of like a break. Yep, just gonna have to wait another week. But I especially disliked this one just because it didn't involve any of the characters I care about - I don't care about the douchey ant circus, I don't care about Jake's tail, I maybe feel bad for the chipmunk but I don't care enough to watch an entire episode about it. Got somewhat excited seeing BMO and NEPTR in the trailer, but they basically weren't a part of the episode. James II, on the other hand, while it was a break, it was at least funny and involved characters I care about. I didn't even laugh during this one. In all honesty, I was just bored, I wanted to turn it off halfway through.
Meh, maybe I'm just spoiled, I watched Season 1-Season 5 recently in a huge marathon over a few weeks, and these season 6 episodes are the only ones I've had to really wait on to watch. I maybe wouldn't mind an episode like this so much if the next one was a click away. But it's almost painful waiting episode by episode.
EDIT: OK, maybe there was some depth, and it was analogy for creators being shat on by the suits. But still, I just didn't care for the episode. Sorry.

u/TheHarpyEagle May 13 '14
It is a little different once you get used to the waiting game. It's hard to notice when you marathon the show, but having to wait for those juicy story bits is what has kept me so interested in Adventure time. The filler episodes adjust the pacing a little bit in what would otherwise be a very rushed storyline. Plus, we get to see how Finn is dealing with his new situation, which adds greatly to his development as a character.

u/Latyon May 13 '14
I feel ya. I just wanted to mention that I was happy NEPTR was only a minor role. I fucking hate that thing.

I wonder if the circus was a metaphor for the fans who wish the show was more like the earlier seasons?

u/Bombkirby May 13 '14
Sounds like the youtube comments for the trailers of new epsiodes.
"This show used to be funny and random and now its too serious. I don't like this new stuff."
Tbh though they DID do kind of a bait and switch thing though. Bait people in who like the farts and then try to switch it with art. :P

I really liked that too. I thought that the big finale of the episode was that Blue Nose was going to pull more of Jake in there and amaze the crowd with his stretching feats! But the fact that Blue Nose HAS his own character, personality, and problems makes this whole situation so much more hilarious to me!
It also speaks to the established world that no one even questions the fact that there's a very long, sad, silent clown that only shows up once a month to perform slapstick humor and/or avant garde style performance art in a tiny circus.
Another thing to think about: Does Blue Nose know he's a part of Jake? Jake obviously doesn't know about Blue Nose.
