Tropes A-C [[Adventure Time/Tropes a To C|HERE!]]<br />
Tropes D-H [[Adventure Time/Tropes D to H|HERE!]]<br />
Line 7:
* [[Sadistic Choice]]: The guardian of the wishes in "The Limit" ''tried'' to force Finn to make one of these and choose between saving Jake and the psychic tandem war elephant he and Jake went through the maze to get. {{spoiler|Finn wished for the elephant, got control of it and then had ''it'' wish to save Jake and fly them out.}}
* [[Sanity Slippage]]: Jake in "Gut Grinder".
{{quote|
** Also, Bubblegum towards the beginning of "The Duke".
{{quote|
'''Jake:''' Ha ha, she's completely bonkers... }}
** Jake again in "No One Can Hear You", to creepy levels.
** Revealed to be why {{spoiler|Ice King}} is the way he is.
* [[Sarcasm Mode]]:
{{quote|
'''Fear Feaster:''' Yeah, ''right''...
'''Finn:''' I will! I'll conquer my fear!
'''Fear Feaster:''' Of ''cooouuurse'' you will, and I live in a two bedroom apartment that doesn't smell like vomit. [[Evil Laughter|Hahahahaha]], ''sarcasm''... }}
* [[Sassy Black Woman]]: [[Rule 63|Cake]] seems to be this even though she's a cat.
* [[Save the Princess]]: Played straight most of the time. Inverted in "Dungeon". [[Spear Counterpart|Gender-inverted]] in "Fionna and Cake".
* [[Saying Sound Effects Out Loud]]: Ice King from time to time.
{{quote|
* [[The Scream]]: Lemongrab. Just... Lemongrab.
* [[Scenery Porn]]/[[Scenery Gorn]]
Line 63:
** "What Was Missing" had ''a lot'' of this for Bubblegum x Marceline.
*** And, at the same time, more for Finn x Bubblegum.
{{quote|
** "Incendium" provides the possibility of a new ship: {{spoiler|1=Finn/FlamePrincess}}
* [[Shotacon]]: Finn and Tree Trunks.
Line 69:
* [[Show Within a Show]]: ''Heat Signature''.
* [[Shut UP, Hannibal]]: Brief one given by Finn to the Lich, which {{spoiler|snaps Finn out of the Lich's mind control.}}
{{quote|
'''Finn:''' ...NO, I'M NOT! I'VE GOT A ''SWEATER ON!!'' }}
* [[Similar Squad]]: Billy, when compared to Finn. His main adversary was the Fire Count, from whom he rescued a Cotton Candy Princess, and he had a magical dog. To top it off, both got hair as a gift from their respective princesses and both fought the Lich.
Line 80:
* [[Slow Motion Drop]]: There's one for Finn's tear at the beginning of "Crystals Have Power".
** There's also one for Lumpy Space Princess's beans in "Heat Signature".
{{quote|
* [[Smashing Hallway Traps of Doom]]: The Clashing Gates from "Beautopia".

{{quote|
* [[Snowlems]]: Finn and Jake encounter one in the pilot cartoon.
* [[Solar-Powered Magnifying Glass]]: In an [[Ad Bumper]], the Ice King uses a magnifying glass to try to kill a giant ant. He threatens to use it on Finn.
* [[Soul Jar]]: {{spoiler|The Fight King's sword.}}
* [[Space Whale Aesop]]: In universe, lampshaded at the end of "Slumber Party Panic":
{{quote|
'''Finn:''' Heck yeah! If I break a Royal Promise, I get to fight zombies, throw slumber parties, awake Gumball Guardians, and -- and --
'''Princess Bubblegum:''' All right, all right!
'''Finn:''' -- and ''REVERSE DEATH ITSELF!'' }}
* [[Spank the Cutie]]: Xergiok is oddly fond of this.
Line 124:
*** No wonder Jake didn't like spray cheese.
* [[Stylistic Self Parody]]: How Jake [[Lampshade Hanging|Lampshades]] the fact that [[The Noseless|Finn doesn't appear to have a nose]].
{{quote|
* [[Stylistic Suck]]: Usually averted: since the show takes place [[After the End]], it would make sense for no one to really know how to properly play instruments, but some characters are decent musicians (Ice King, Jake, Marceline...)
** Parts of "Adventure Time With Fionna and Cake" are written like a [[Fanfic]]. {{spoiler|Because it is.}}
Line 138:

* [[Suspiciously Specific Denial]]: After Jake beats Finn in a tough guy contest.
{{quote|
* [[Swallowed Whole]]: Finn, Jake, and the bears in "Belly of the Beast".

{{quote|
'''Finn:''' HEY! Don't shoot us with that bazooka!<br />
'''Bazooka goblin:''' ''(giggling)''<br />
Line 156:
* [[Talking Animal]]: "Storytelling" shows that most if not all animals are capable of speech.
* [[The Tape Knew You Would Say That]]: Played with in Joshua's pre-recorded messages.
{{quote|
'''Joshua:''' Remember, Jake, this is a pre-recorded holo-message. I can't hear you if you're talking to me right now.
(Moments later...)
'''Jake:''' But--
'''Joshua:''' BUTTS ARE FOR POOPING! }}
* [[Team Shot]]: The picture on the main page.
* [[Techno Babble]]: A forte of Princess Bubblegum and Ricardio.
{{quote|
'''Princess Bubblegum:''' Wow! That would mean that the Babylons would fluctuate with the piranhananosphere!
'''Ricardio:''' Correct.
'''Finn:''' They're talkin' about science, man. I can't compete with that! }}
* [[Teens Are Monsters]]: Marceline and Jerky Teenage Bear.
* [[Tempting Fate]]: There's this from "Belly of the Beast":
{{quote|
'''Finn:''' Yeah... Good thing [the monster's] not swallowing some deadly volcano lava. That would kill them for ''sure''!
{{spoiler|''(The monster considers this and heads for a volcano.)''}} }}
* [[Theme Tune Roll Call]]: "...With Jake the Dog and Finn the Human..."
Line 187:
** There are a few "episode" title drops like in "Loyalty to the King", "What Have You Done?", "The Real You", and "Go With Me".
*** From "Too Young":
{{quote|
** Parodied in-universe in "Heat Signature" for the movie ''Heat Signature''. Try to figure ''that'' out.
{{quote|
* [[Together in Death]]: Ghost Princess and Clarence fall in love ''while'' they are ghosts in "Ghost Princess". Eventually, though, the trope is {{spoiler|played straight when it is revealed Clarence killed Warrior Princess in a war}}.
* [[Toilet Humor]]: The penalty for stealing boots in "Ocean Of Fear" is poots on the newts.
Line 199:
** Cinnamon Bun is shaping up to be this.
* [[Too Long; Didn't Dub]]: Done for joke purposes in "My Two Favorite People." Lady Rainicorn tells Jake a joke in Korean. Jake finds it hilarious, but when Finn asks what it is, Jake says sheepishly that it "doesn't translate very well." According to the [http://www.scribd.com/doc/18740459/My-Two-Favorite-People-Storyboard storyboards] for that episode, it actually wasn't much of a joke.
{{quote|
'''Jake:''' Let's not talk about that. }}
* [[Tomboy]]: Fionna
Line 237:
** [[Running Gag|"Tck tck" *wink + "okay" gesture*]]
** This.
{{quote|
'''Jake:''' ''([[Beat]])'' What? }}
** And this:
{{quote|
'''Finn:''' ...Hmm? }}
** "Bazoobs", in one episode.
Line 252:
* [[Vampire Monarch]]: Marceline the Vampire Queen.
* [[Verb This]]:
{{quote|
'''Finn:''' Answer ''THIS!'' }}
** There's this from "Dungeon":
{{quote|
'''Finn:''' Unzip ''THIS!'' ''(armpit fart)'' }}
** Finn is fond of this. Here's one from "Rainy Day Daydream":
{{quote|
'''Bellamy Bug:''' I don't know, my young fellow! ''You'' tell ''me''. Perhaps I represent your secret desire to be civilized!
'''Finn:''' Represent ''THIS!'' ''(smacks bug)'' }}
* [[Villain Episode]]: In "Thank You", the main characters are a Snow Golem (who is a creation of the Ice King) and his adopted pet, a Fire Wolf.
Line 271:
* [[War Elephants]]: There's an [[Ninja Pirate Zombie Robot|Ancient Psychic Tandem War Elephant]].
* [[Wasteful Wishing]]: Jake in "The Limit":
{{quote|
'''Finn:''' You wasted your wish, man! }}
* [[Watching the Sunset]]: Ice King and NEPTR (in Ice King's mind) at the end of "What Is Life?"
* [[We Want Our Jerk Back]]: Donny has to go back to being a jerk so he can repel the whywolves with obnoxygen, thus saving the house people. Oddly, no one directly involved wants him back. The house people, whom he inadvertently protects, don't like him, and the whywolves seem very enthusiastic to hunt the house people to extinction even knowing that they'll die afterwards.
* [[We Will Meet Again]]: The Ice King in the pilot has an oddly verbose example.
{{quote|
* [[Weakened by the Light]]: The Lubglubs' weakness.
* [[Weaksauce Weakness]]: Finn's fear of the ocean.
Line 291:
** "Dude... {{spoiler|I think I have a crush."}} ("Incendium")
*** Also from that episode:
{{quote|
** "I understand now... {{spoiler|You're a ''[[Making a Splash|water]]'' [[Making a Splash|elemental]].}}" ("Hot to the Touch")
** At the very end of "In Your Footsteps":
{{quote|
* [[What Do You Mean It's Not Heinous?|What Do You Mean, It's Not Heinous?]]: ''Daddy, why did you eat my fries?'' While this may have been kind of a last straw thing, it's still silly to get so upset over it. On the other hand, it may not have been a last straw thing, but more of a personal hurtful situation she remembers. Sure, the Lord of Evil could go around stealing souls and Marceline could'''n't''' care less, but doing something like that is just personal to her. Plus, it never stated when she wrote the song. It could have been a while before he was banished to the Nightosphere.{{spoiler|Then a later episode reveals that the fries were stolen when they were desperate scavengers in a post-apocalyptic wasteland, so maybe it was [[Subverted Trope|pretty heinous after all]].}}
** [[Does This Remind You of Anything?|Nonconsensual]] hugging.
Line 302:
* [[What the Hell, Hero?]]/[[Hannibal Lecture]]: In "What Have You Done?", the Ice King actually convinces Finn that he's doing the wrong thing by imprisoning him for {{spoiler|seemingly}} no reason.
* [[What You Are in the Dark]]?: Parodied. After becoming king of a small nation, Finn learns that he is not allowed to chew his own food, among other things.
{{quote|
'''Servant:''' I would know, my liege. }}
* [[Whip Pan]]: Near the beginning of "Susan Strong".
Line 308:
* [[White and Grey Morality]]: Except the Lich. [[Omnicidal Maniac|He's as black as it gets]].
** And [[Eldritch Abomination|Marceline's Father]], the Fight King, [[Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking|and That Really Creepy Deer.]] Overall, the story tends to vary between this, [[Black and White Morality]], and the occasional [[White and White Morality]] Conflict or [[Morality Kitchen Sink]] scenario. Hell, one time [[Evil Versus Evil]] was thrown in [[Played for Laughs|for laughs]]:
{{quote|
'''Princess Bubblegum:''' Zanoits kill hundreds of thousands of plantoids a year.
'''Finn:''' Oh, no, not the plantoids!
'''Princess Bubblegum:''' Plantoids produce mellotoxin.
'''Finn:''' ''(beat)''
'''Princess Bubblegum:''' MELLOTOXIN ''KILLS'' ZANOITS! }}
* [[Why Did It Have to Be Snakes?]]: Finn has a specific fear of the ocean.
Line 322:
* [[Wizard Duel]]: The episode [[Exactly What It Says on the Tin|"Wizard Battle"]].
* [[Word Salad Humor]]: All the time.
{{quote|
** The speech at the end of "The Other Tarts" seems to be complete nonsense:
{{quote|
** Anything Cuber says. Ever.
* [[World in the Sky]]: Lumpy Space. Also, the Cloud Kingdom. [[Bonus Points]] for having [[Bubbly Clouds|solid clouds that you can walk on]].
Line 332:
* [[A Worldwide Punomenon]]: Finn drops some puns in the first couple of minutes of "Slumber Party Panic".
** This from "Incendium":
{{quote|
'''Flambo:''' Oh, yeah, I know just the skirt. And she's ''way'' hot.
''(cut to the Fire Kingdom)'' }}
* [[Wretched Hive]]: The city of thieves. [[Planet of Hats|Every single inhabitant is a thief]], and if you go in there, [[Fisher Kingdom|you become a thief too]].
Line 345:
** Flame Princess mixes this with a healthy dose of [[Tsundere]] and a frosting of ''evil''.
* [[Yank the Dog's Chain]]: Ice King at the end of "The Eyes:"
{{quote|
** {{spoiler|Also Princess Bubblegum being aged back to 18 in "Too Young," right when it seemed that her and Finn would finally become more than friends.}}
** Her pushing Finn further away in "Incendium".
Line 353:
* [[You Need to Get Laid]]: Ice King, but not for lack of trying. It might be one of the reasons why he's [[Nerds Are Virgins|a big nerd.]] [[Word of God]] admits it being true.
* [[You No Take Candle]]: The businessmen's weird grammar in "Business Time".
{{quote|
** Susan Strong's English in general.
{{quote|
* [[Your Cheating Heart]]: Parodied in "The Monster" when Lumpy Space Princess thinks that a wolf is cheating on another wolf with yet another wolf.
{{quote|

{{quote|
'''Marauder:''' Your mama.
'''Marceline's dad:''' [[Insult Backfire|That's right. I'm your mama.]] }}
* [[Your Tomcat Is Pregnant]]: Gunter lays an egg in one episode. The characters even lampshade it. That said, the exact details are fairly ambiguous. After all, a magic cat creature hatched from the egg.
