"President Porpoise is Missing!" Discussion Thread

So let me get this straight...everyone votes for the blowfish, then the one octopus gets 8 votes to delay his inauguration. Then Finn and Jake beat up a politician with no evidence, while the cops watch, and end up being wrong. All while a member of Parliament fucks off with a stranger and admits not giving a shit about politics.
The sea has a pretty fucked up government, yo.

I think it's both a parody to the "president is missing and it's inside job" kind of B movie plotlines + an actual critic to the way politics works. Or I'm just reading to much into it.

I think the "corrupt politics" angle is definitely intentional. I mean there's a shot right on two police officers literally looking away from what Finn and Jake are doing.

That sounds like the kind of government you'd see in a satirical political comedy film.
Or, you know, real life.

I knew Marceline would be hiding out in their house, but I wasn't expecting all those other peeps.

Reminds me of every shy person I know. Always liked Banana Man.

I always liked Banana Man. I love him in this episode even more because he's relatable.

BMO and Ice King are a suprisingly fantastic pair!

I would totally watch an episode with just those two going on an adventure.

Not dying would be nice too though, lol

That was a really weird ending.

Was the symbol on President Porpoise's laptop the same symbol from Grunkle Stan's fez in Gravity Falls? Just an observation.

Yep! Animators and artists love dropping GF references in their stuff (see Rick and Morty, Howard the Duck comic). I think this is the first time AT has done it, though.

my kids must be worried SICK
It's been a while since I laughed so hard at something Ice King said. Great to see his funny side fully recovered!

We've gotten to see a heck of a lot of BMO's powerful imagination this season, it's awesome. Also him bonding with Ice King is kinda cute.

Favorite part of the episode for me.
"I bring my boys home"
BMO is great.

I think my favorite scene was how jake just kept getting smaller and smaller. It's probably the smallest we've seen of him.
Oh, and "Dying together sucks a little less then dying alone." Just gold

Finn and Jake's house is popular to say the least. Not even PB can resist the draw of one of Jake's sandwiches!
