When he finally fesses up that yes, Finn is a human, they start licking him. When they realize Jake and Finn are friends, though, they settle for artificial human.
* ''[[Regular Show]]'' episode "Meat Your Maker": A group of hot dogs (the leader of which is voiced by [[Tim Curry]]) marinate the cast with this as the intention. Then Rigby squirts mustard on them, and they eat each other instead.
