6** Further mutations and successor memes, if any.
7----
8* The original 2007 short quickly became viral after its release. It grew so popular it led to the creation of the TV show.
9** [[PunctuatedForEmphasis "MY HAT! IS AWESOME!"]] [[labelnote:Explanation]]Probably the most famous scene from the pilot, where Finn shouts this line and kicks the Ice King after the latter insults his hat. It got referenced and quoted on the Internet frequently in the time after the pilot's release.[[/labelnote]]
10* What time is it? WesternAnimation/AdventureTime![[labelnote:Explanation]]Finn and Jake's simultaneous CharacterCatchphrase and TitleDrop is prone to variations.[[/labelnote]]
11** The title, and the show's frequent utilization of the TitleDrop trope, have made it memetic to say "ADVENTURE TIME!" to any unsuspecting person who innocently asks for the time.
12* "The fun will never end!" [[labelnote:Explanation]]A lyric in the opening song, fun for fans to sing when episodes get really dark or depressing[[/labelnote]]
13* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HIAql1AfSSU NOOOOOOOOOOO]][[BigNo OOOOOOOOOOOOOO]] [[labelnote:Explanation]]Finn's reaction to a drop of water in "Ocean of Fear". The image of him screaming has been widely circulated, and has also led to multiple variations involving different characters with the face.[[/labelnote]]
14* "SO. VERY. LARGE."[[labelnote:Explanation]]One of Prince Gumball's lines from the genderbent episode preview. It was perceived rather suggestively, and is often used by the fandom to describe [[BiggerIsBetterInBed a certain part of Marshall Lee's anatomy]][[/labelnote]]
15* "I'm a buff baby that can dance like a man..."[[labelnote:Explanation]]Baby Finn's song in "Memory of a Memory" was prone to numerous remixes and became very popular. Later on, platforms such as [=TikTok=] would popularize the song again.[[/labelnote]]
16* [[LargeHam The Earl of Lemongrab]] is the show's resident FountainOfMemes. Pretty much anything involving him has become memetic, both within and outside of the show's fanbase.
17** "UNACCEPTABLE!"[[labelnote:Explanation]]Lemongrab's CharacterCatchphrase. It's commonly used to show disapproval or disgust on the Internet, and has also made its way into many image macros and [=GIFs=].[[/labelnote]]
18** [x] years dungeon! [[labelnote:Explanation]]A snowclone based on Lemongrab's dungeon punishments, with "x" being the number of years. Used in response to something one disapproves of.[[/labelnote]]
19** Pictures of Lemongrab are often captioned with the ''WesternAnimation/SpongeBobSquarePants'' acronym "'''E'''very '''V'''illain '''I'''s '''L'''emons".
20** Lemongrab reacts to a note [[labelnote:Explanation]] In his debut episode, Lemongrab reads a note that says "you smell ike dog buns", which makes him freak out. Edits replace the original text with different text or an image, and either have Lemongrab react in horror or with disinterest to what's being shown.[[/labelnote]]
21* Don't forget, MARCELINE LOVES YOU GAIZ! [[labelnote:Explanation]]A phrase started and bred on a fan-forum, which then spread to other places.[[/labelnote]]
22* Mathematical!!![[labelnote:Explanation]]Finn's tendency to use math-related terms when he is excited has been embraced by fans, who similarly yell said interjections as a means to express their own amusement.[[/labelnote]]
23* Bacon pancakes! Makin' bacon pancakes![[labelnote:Explanation]]Jake's "Bacon Pancakes" song quickly became one of the show's most popular songs, and became popular in edits and remixes, even years after the song made its debut.[[/labelnote]]
24** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cUYSGojUuAU The "New York" remix]], a mashup with "Empire State of Mind" by Music/JayZ ft. Music/AliciaKeys, stands as one of the most famous remixes, with over 10M views to date.
25* "I like sad things." [[labelnote:Explanation]]A quote by show creator Creator/PendletonWard that's often brought up whenever discussing the show's [[TearJerker/AdventureTime sadder]] moments.[[/labelnote]]
26* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TNLKhkAa5II Jake shows you how it's done.]][[labelnote:Explanation]]A 25-minute extended version of Jake showing a beetle how to dance has become popular on the Internet, accumulating 2.5M views. The original scene has also been used as a GIF, and Jake's line "you're shaking it all wrong" has been appended to [=GIFs=] of characters dancing.[[/labelnote]]
27* Damnit Fern, stop reminding us of ''Film/AvengersInfinityWar''![[labelnote:Explanation]]In "Come Along With Me", Fern [[spoiler:dies by breaking up into grass, revealing this to Finn by stating that he is "not doing so good". This easily reminded viewers of [[Comicbook/SpiderMan Peter Parker's]] undignified disintegration into ash in ''Avengers: Infinity War'', where this moment began as he said a similar line, "I don't feel so good"]].[[/labelnote]]
28* Jake bit by a Spider[[labelnote:Explanation]]In the episode "Marceline's Closet", a spider bites Jake (voiced by John [=DiMaggio=]), who screams in pain silently. It has become a popular reaction image, sometimes with a blurred filter applied to it.[[/labelnote]]
29* From the comics, [[https://knowyourmeme.com/photos/808011-into-the-trash-it-goes-opinion-discarded Lemongrab holding a trash can]] and shouting "Hop in, this is where you belong forever, now!" got some mileage as a response to bad takes, or people declaring themselves "fandom trash".
30* Que Pro[[labelnote:Explanation]] An edited image of Finn and Jake with the {{Platform/Roblox}} man face became popular in 2020-21.[[/labelnote]]
31* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r2YyTpXkges This clip]] of Finn trying out the Glasses of Nerdicon for the first time in "The Real You" become popular in 2021 due to being recommended to users by the [=YouTube=] algorithm.
32* "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0e5jPPnm4V8 Nope, nope, stop talking, go to jail!]]"[[labelnote:Explanation]]One of Princess Bubblegum's lines from "[[Recap/AdventureTimeS5E44AppleWedding Apple Wedding]]" became a common reaction video used against displeasing opinions (with varying degrees of hyperbole).[[/labelnote]]
33* [[https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/gunter_sign.jpeg Gunter wearing a sign.]] [[labelnote:Explanation]]From the episode "Jake the Dog". The original text of the sign is "I steal jewels", which is replaced with different text in image edits.[[/labelnote]]
34* The 15 Tiers of Love/"DO NOT DO TIER 15!" [[labelnote:Explanation]]In "Burning Low", Jake talks about the "15 tiers of love", the 15th of which prompts a [[NoodleIncident vague]] [[UnusualEuphemism description]] when Finn asks about it. Fans often reference "The 15 Tiers of Love" when it comes to characters in other works that are in a relationship, especially Tier 15, which usually means that something "interesting" has happened, is going to happen, or hasn't happened, but is something fans wouldn't want to happen.[[/labelnote]]
35* "Eres un reverendo pendejo!"[[labelnote:Explanation]]In the Latin American Dub of ''WesternAnimation/ParadisePD'', the dog Bullet is voiced by Jose Arenas who also did Jake's voice in the Latin American Dub of ''Adventure Time'' and even uses the exact same kind of voice for the other character. It has thus become commonplace for Latin American fans to edit that one line (Which translates as "You're a righteous asshole!") into scenes of Jake getting mad in a near-seamless fashion.[[/labelnote]]
36* "Oh my Glob!" [[labelnote:Explanation]]Lumpy Space Princess's CharacterCatchphrase; it is often used in place of "oh my god" in the fandom.[[/labelnote]]
37* [[https://i.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/original/000/594/070/9f2.gif "Now go sit in the corner and think about your life."]] [[labelnote:Explanation]]From the beginning of "Slow Love" where Jake reprimands BMO in this way. It became a reaction GIF used to scorn someone for doing something bad.[[/labelnote]]
38* Tree Trunks' fascist sign [[labelnote:Explanation]]An [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5_t6-yTYh1Q out-of-context clip]] from "High Strangeness" where Tree Trunks makes the word "fascist" with glitter on the back of a sign gained some popularity due to how strange it is to see that word in a kid's cartoon.[[/labelnote]]
