History Recap / AdventureTimeS5E18PrincessPotluck

* AbsenteeActor: Several key princesses are absent from the potluck, such as Emerald Princess and Engagement Ring Princess. The most notable absence, though, is obviously Flame Princess, who was probably not invited since Princess Bubblegum feared her uncontrolled powers would cause a disaster; other possible reasons include the very fact she technically wasn't a princess at the time due to living outside the Fire Kingdom, or Bubblegum still having repressed jealousy for her relationship with Finn.

* PokeThePoodle: Ice King's efforts to sabotage the party.

* LiteralMinded: Ice King ties lemons to some cats he captured, calling them "sourpusses" to ruin the potluck. He also has "party poopers" in the form of overfed rabbits, but they end up [[{{Squick}} relieving themselves]] before he can use them.

* SmellyFeet: Finn defeats Ice King by taking off the shoe he was wearing without a sock and putting it over Ice King's nose.

* OutOfOrder: This episode shows what Finn and Jake were up to during "[[Recap/AdventureTimeS4E17BMONoire BMO Noire]]". The fact that it therefore takes place before "Reign of Gunters" explains why Princess Bubblegum and others don't have a problem with Gunter joining the party.

* AbsenteeActor: Despite being a princess, Flame Princess is completely absent from the potluck, though the episode was made in a period where she was living in a house in the Grasslands, a long time before "Earth & Water", so she wasn't technically a princess at the time. It could also be argued that Princess Bubblegum intentionally did not invite her because of potential risks to the other princesses, or repressed jealousy over her and Finn's relationship.
