Ice King has a plan to form a perfect circle of confidants.
Tropes:
- A Day in the Limelight: This episode focuses on The Ice King. Finn and Jake do not appear in this episode.
- Brutal Honesty: Ice King's animated items do not mince words about his shortcomings and issues when he tries too hard to get them to like him.
- Continuity Nod: Ice King still has that Fionna and Cake Omnibus that was brought to life back in "Mystery Dungeon".
- Foreshadowing: Oven mitts can be seen on the rack a few scenes before Ice King claims he doesn't have any to trick Life-Giving Magus.
- Freeze-Frame Bonus: When Ice King is studying, a comic called Nihilism Funnies can be seen.
- Even more hilarious is that the comic is inside of a book titled The Lighter Side of Nietzsche. The page he turns to seems to be about when the philosopher is sent to Jena when he is diagnosed with what would be named Binswanger's Disease, a form of dementia very similar to Alzheimer's Disease.
- Gone Horribly Wrong: Ice King uses the Life-Giving Magus's magic to bring his furniture to life so he can have friends, but the furniture is too smart to just blindly follow him and talk down to him.
- Ignored Epiphany: When the Lamp gives some advice to Ice King about being a good listener, he appears to get it, but then flips out and starts attacking the living furniture.
- I Just Want to Have Friends:
- Ice King's reason behind bringing his furniture to life.
- Life-Giving Magus wants to be Ice King's friend, but Ice King just wants him for his life-giving powers.
- Laser-Guided Karma: Ice King uses the Life-Giving Magus for his life-granting powers so he can bring his possessions to life and make them his friends, but his new friends turn out to be too smart for him and act incredibly mean and condescending towards him.
- Shout-Out:
- Ice King talks about forming his Incredible Crewnote when he's bringing his furniture to life.
- When the Ice King says that the the Dresser was supposed to be his improv coach, he responds by saying a rule very familiar
to improv artists. And then the Ice King gets stuck on what he's supposed to say next, just like an amateurish improv artist. - The cymbals on the drum set has a face similar to that of Terrance & Phillip, and it speaks with a similar accent.
- Toilet Humor: When the Lamp tells him that humor is the highest form of intelligence, Ice King tries to make her laugh with hand fart. She is not amused. Neither is the other furniture when he tries it on them.
- The Triple: Ice King wanted Weight Set to make him buff, Microwave to heat up bologna sandwiches, and Dresser Drawer to be his improv coach.
