2A {{jerkass}} magician turns Finn into a foot in order to teach him "a magical life lesson", and Finn encounters a group of other people who were turned into other body parts by said magician.
3----
4!! Tropes
5* TenMinuteRetirement: Finn is all set to give up being a hero and resign himself to living as a disembodied foot with the other freaks under the bridge. A moment of contemplation inspires him to rally the other freaks together to fight back against Magic Man.
6* AllOfTheOtherReindeer: The people of the burning town refuse Foot Finn's help, and send him to live under a bridge with the other "freaks" who ran afoul of Magic Man.
7* AutoTune: "The Hero Boy Named Finn" is sung in Finn's autotuned voice.
8* BlessedWithSuck: Finn after being transformed into a foot. The concept is quite appealing to Jake (for probably quite personal reasons), but Finn gets to experience the obvious drawbacks first-hand.
9* {{Bowdlerise}}: After Cartoon Network UK started censoring the show, their edit had Kim getting under Trudy without complaint after Finn told her to, editing out Kim moaning, "I freaking hate Trudy" as "freaking" was a bit too strong for children's TV in the UK (despite that "freaking" is a [[GoshDangItToHeck TV-friendly substitute for "fucking"]]).
10* BrainBleach: Jake cowers and shields his eyes while trying to resist the urge to throw up after Magic Man turns a bird inside out.
11-->''"Think happy thoughts. Little cute bees. Little babies. Tiny, tiny bunnies."''
12* CardCarryingJerkass: Magic Man freely admits to being a big jerk.
13-->'''Finn:''' [[SpoofAesop I never should've been nice to you, 'cause you're just a big jerk!]]
14-->'''Magic Man:''' Oh, that's it! You've finally learned your lesson!
15* CardCarryingVillain: Played for laughs. The giant identifies itself, and its crotch, as evil.
16* CombiningMecha: In a way; Finn (after being transformed into a foot) combines with several other cursed freaks to create a giant body. After getting un-cursed, it turns out that the other Freaks ''like'' being combined into a single unit, and stand on each-others' shoulders to replicate the effect.
17* EstablishingCharacterMoment: Magic Man turning the bird on his fingertip inside out.
18* ForcedTransformation: What Magic Man does to Finn, turning him into a giant foot.
19* GetAHoldOfYourselfMan: Finn to everyone else under the bridge when he tells them to get it together and challenge Magic Man.
20* GroinAttack: Jake's plan for Finn's foot form: Build a giant catapult, hope something evil walks by and steps on it, catapulting Finn into their crotch.
21* IllKillYou: When Kim is reluctant to cooperate with Trudy, Finn snaps "''KIM!'' I will '''''destroy''''' you!"
22* OldBeggarTest: Finn and Jake find Magic Man disguised as a hobo in need of aid. They see through it immediately and expect to be rewarded for helping him, but he just turns Finn into a foot.
23-->'''Finn:''' What the heck, man? What kind of deal is that? I help somebody out, and they turn me into a stinky foot?
24* OwMyBodyPart: After Foot Finn gets launched into an evil two-headed giant's groin, the giant yells "Our crotch! Our ''evil'' crotch!"
25* SpoofAesop: The lesson Finn and Jake learn from the episode is "don't give your sugar to jerks".
26* TitleDrop: "Freak City" turns out to be the nickname for the little community under the bridge where Gork and the other "freaks" who fell victim to Magic Man live.
