    Default Adventure Time

    Does anyone else watch this show regularly? This week was what the kids call "baller." I especially liked the Mister Rogers reference ("the garden of your mind").

    No, and I hope this show dies.

    Nope, although it seems like half my fellow bro-knees are into it (along with Teen Titans, Avatar and Homestuck) with as much obsession as MLP :P

    TBH there aren't too many cartoons that appeal to me, I think I mostly grew out of them - MLP being unusual enough to interest me I guess. Might check it out when I'm bored sometime though.

    Adventure Time is glorious. I have yet to watch the most recent episodes, but I will get round to it.

    LSP is the best character, followed closely by Tree Trunks.

    I've seen the episode where the kid with the hat has to get princess hair to keep his dog friend from being absorbed into a tree witch's butt.

    Pretty rad.

    I watch it almost religiously. One of the few shows I enjoy on TV immensely. And yes, this last episode was amazing. All to make live Fionna and Cake, because who in the world is sadder than the Ice King.

    ... Shelby the worm, watching that.

    Someone explain to me why this show is so popular. An actual explanation, not a stupid one.

    I don't understand the devotion to this or MLP.

    It's a post-apocalyptic series with a progressive storyline and dimensional characters with a mish-mash of subtle and blatant humor, offering deep messages and providing many hidden clues and references, which show the depth of thought and care that go into production. It's constantly defying social norms, especially gender roles, and manages to provide fart jokes while still being surprisingly smart. It's also really smurfing weird.

    Ahaha, I love Shelby. I want to say that episode featured all my favorite characters, but I have at least six other favorite characters.

    Tried watching it several times and just can't get into it. The Vampire Queen teen chick is cool though.

    But yeah, don't understand all it's hype. Maybe it's like the Emperor's clothes. Only special people can see it. =(

    This is probably the best explanation for why I love the series. It does a great job of putting brevity in everything the wonderful dynamic cast of characters do while having this great apocalyptic feel and backstory that mostly pops out at you at random intervals. It does take a little attention but ends up being one of the great experiences if you truly take it all in.

    PBS's Idea Channel does a great job of summing up why I personally enjoy this series.

    I can't say I don't love most of the characters. All of them are definitely up there as my favorites especially Mr. UNACCEPTABLE.

    Also, Regular is only funny because of the blatant drug humor and 80's reference, which makes it entertaining, but nothing close to the overall joy I find with Adventure Time.

    Adventure Time is algebraic.
