2	Finn and Jake are exploring a creepy swamp when a village of Mud Scamps (talking giant [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mudskipper mudskippers]]) beg them for help against a giant frog which is terrorising them. They get lost in the swamp, have difficulty lighting a fire, and accidentally attack a giant birds' nest which looked like a frog in the fog. Finally the giant frog attacks and chases them. Jake swells up to giant size and fights it, and it takes his head into its mouth, but doesn't bite it off. Finn has a brainwave and kisses the giant frog, which turns into a giant handsome prince. The prince asks why Finn's kiss worked, since he'd been kissing everything in sight for days, but Finn explains that the other person had to kiss him voluntarily. The prince congratulates Finn on being secure in his sexuality, and flies away.

4	!!Tropes
5	* AttackOfThe50FootWhatever: The Mega-Frog.
6	* BewitchedAmphibians: The Mega-Frog turns out to be a polymorphed giant prince.
7	* HandSignals: Jake attempts to use these to communicate with Finn, with no success.
8	* HollywoodHealing: Lampshaded by Finn when Jake returns from being burnt by lightning and then rapidly loses the injuries of the shock.
9	* MagicKiss: It turns out it doesn't have to be true love, but it does have to be voluntary.
10	* {{Malaproper}}: The chief mud scamp.
11	-->'''Chief:''' Alright, let's cut the cheese.\
12	'''Mud Scamp:''' "Cut to the chase".
13	* OurGiantsAreDifferent: The giant prince is a very cultured and courteous type.
14	* PoorlyLitPareidolia: Finn and Jake see a huge silhouette in the swamp that they think is the Mega-Frog, but turns out to be a pile of bound-together timber.
15	* ProBonoBarter: The mud scamps give Finn and Jake a bag of lollipops as payment for getting rid of the giant frog.
16	* ShirtlessScene: The episode opens with Finn shirtless and planning to have a swim, although he decides the swamp looks too unpleasant.
17	* ShoutOut:
18	** The Mega-Frog's transformation is similar to that of another prince [[WesternAnimation/BeautyAndTheBeast who had streams of light come out of his body]]. It's also vaguely ''Anime/SailorMoon''-esque.
19	** The whole idea of a frog turning into a prince when kissed is a reference to the story of ''Literature/TheFrogPrince''.
20	* SpecialGuest: Both [[WesternAnimation/DrKatzProfessionalTherapist Jonathan Katz]] and Creator/BrianDoyleMurray star in this episode.
21	* TemptingFate: Jake sees the tops of the tree tops and says how nice it is, then he's zapped by lightning.
22	* TrailOfBreadCrumbs: Finn and Jake try to do this with the lollipops the mud scamps gave them.
23	* UnusualEuphemism: Finn says the Mega-Frog could "dingle our bones into tapioca pudding", which causes Jake to chastise him for his language.
