Moment Subpages are Spoilers Off. You Have Been Warned.
Does This Remind You of Anything? moments in Adventure Time.
- The Ice King frequently kidnaps, drugs, or outright mind controls women so that he can force them to "marry" him. The way he tries to justify his actions is even very similar to typical lines used by real-life rapists and abusers.
- His backstory involving the ice crown's corruption of his mind is uncomfortably familiar to anyone who has watched a grandparent or other loved one slowly succumb to Dementia, such as Alzheimer's. The episode "I Remember You" twists the knife as Marceline tries all she can to break through to his former self. She doesn't.
- It also in some ways resembles a drug addiction, with Simon "needing" it and it giving him special abilities, but making him behave strangely, hallucinate, and do awful things to his loved ones and then not remember it later.
- His "Wizard Eyes" are also reminiscent of schizophrenia, with him seeing crazy things that no one else can see. However, these things are later revealed to be the very real and very creepy denizens of the Spirit Realm.
- "What Was Missing" resulted in the incredible popularity of the Bubblegum/Marceline pairing because of all the romantic subtext between the two of them. Marceline singing a song with the line "I'm gonna drink the red, from your pretty pink face" note is only the beginning.
- "Hug Wolf" is an entire episode of rape metaphors, including scenes like a newly-transformed Finn sneaking into a young candy girl's room, and the angry mob shouting "No more hugs! Without consent!". It's rather disturbing.
- "Lady and Peebles" deals with the reality of being put in the position of Sexual Extortion/coercion - but also that you don't have to take that.Ricardio: I was just trying to impress you...
Bubblegum: You didn't. - Lumpy Space Princess frequently uses "lumps" as an obvious euphemism for breasts. Exaggerated in "Gotcha!".
- References to suicide, subtle or not, are in multiple episodes, including "Ghost Princess", "Dad's Dungeon", "Princess Monster Wife", "You Made Me!", and especially "Princess Cookie".
- "Adventure Time with Fionna and Cake" has more sexual innuendo than the entire rest of the third season combined. The pinnacle is definitely when Gumball invites Fionna up to his room, his bed covered in rose petals, locks the door behind him and starts removing his shirt. Sure, it was Ice Queen removing her disguise, but still.
- Soon afterwards, Cake (who had seen Fionna go into Gumball's room) hears Fionna grunting and shouting "Get it off me!" (she's fighting Ice Queen). Cake bursts into his room, see's Fionna's ripped dress and Gumball next to her, and completely flips out. "Don't you touch her!"
- Speaking of Gender Flips, Gumball and Marshall Lee's short scene in "Bad Little Boy" has Marshall suck the pink out of Gumball's cream puff, then throw white sticky stuff on his face.
- Finn's relationship with Flame Princess is dripping with masochism vibes. He first expresses his crush on her after she slaps him (leaving a burning handprint on his cheek). After their first hug he tells Jake "It hurt..." in a gleeful tone of voice, and their first kiss has him smiling while he has third degree burns all over his face. He gets way too hot under the collar when he sees Flame Princess fight, and dreams about her 'burning' his crotch.
- Jake stopping Finn from hugging Flame Princess until he's safely wrapped-up... to protect him from the heat.
- Multiple scenes do everything but outright state that Jake and Lady Rainicorn are having lots of kinky interspecies sex. Sometimes its a subtle Bilingual Bonus, such as in "From Bad to Worse" where Lady says she wanted Jake to bite her (who blushes and laughs nervously), and sometimes it's hilariously overt. Jake's speech to Finn about tiers in "Burning Low" gives a glimpse of their foreplay ("Then down the road you'll make it to Tier 5, where she'll let you discover all 15 feet of her long beautiful stomach.") and intercourse ("Do NOT do Tier 15!"), while "The Pit" reveals Jake made a sex tape for Lady.
- Finn's dream about a white comet, with a long white tail, swimming through the ocean until it enters a crack in the sea floor. As if it that were too subtle, Finn is also holding a baby version of himself throughout the dream. This comes in season 6's "The Visitor."
- Princess Bubblegum's relationship with her brother Neddy, a large, non-verbal, easily-distressed gum dragon, is akin to one having a mentally-challenged sibling.
