%%your "justifications", "however" or Natter don't matter on somebody's else's AudienceReaction

* The Ice King's tendency to kidnap princesses is clearly troubling others to no end.\\
'''You'd Expect:''' For Princess Bubblegum to entask Finn and Jake into snatching the crown away from the Ice King and keep it locked within [=PB's=] vault so that nobody can use it.\\
'''Instead:''' Nobody ever considers doing this as they simply leave him there without taking the crown away despite the fact that it would have benefited them in doing so.
* "Trouble in Lumpy Space" Finn, Jake and [=LSP=] need to borrow the latter's parents car to get to makeout point in order to cure Jake from "the Lumps", but [=LSPs=] parents are annoyed that she brought "smooth people" into Lumpy Space.\\

'''You'd Expect:''' For Finn to stop making an attack to hear this statement.\\

* In "The Lich", Finn and Jake sneak up on Princess Bubblegum's place in order to collect the final gem for the Enchidirion to combat The Lich.\\

'''Instead''': They simply barge in which causes Finn to get cut by [=PB's=] scissors, weakens their bond even further and end up getting chased by her, [[spoiler: [[SpannerInTheWorks just in time to stop the Lich]] from completing his plans for the extinction of all life]].
* In "Jake the Dog", Finn is [[spoiler:teleported to a different universe with various humans, tries to stop a problem, puts on the Ice King's hat, gets under control by it and goes insane.]]\\

* In "Mystery Dungeon", Tree Trunks, Shelby, Ice King, Lemongrab and NEPTR are trapped inside a dungeon where they have all just escaped a room with a giant monster, and enter the spiraling ledge room, a huge column well with a broken bridge separating a large spiral ramp-way from the way they came.\\

'''Instead:''' Not even one of the characters does any of this and as a result, they almost fall to the ground below until Ice King, [[spoiler:who is secretly using them all to get the final room deliberately for his own means]], uses his torn cloak to parachute himself and everyone else down safely to the final room.

** At the end of the day, Finn's actions in "The Red Throne" only made his relationship with Flame Princess even worse. Moreso by when Cinammon Bun express his love for her.\\

'''Instead:''' He never does this and stays away from her for potentially years on end, never talking to her nor even trying to think that Cinammon Bun's confession is merely platonic on their behalf.

* In "Burning Low", upon discovering that Finn is dating Flame Princess, Princess Bubblegum realizes that in the heat of their emotions, it could put the state of the world at risk including the two couple.\\
'''You'd Expect:''' [[BoringButPractical That she outright tells Finn and Jake]] what exactly is wrong with dating Flame Princess and give recommendations at how FP can better control her powers so that they can kiss without putting the world at risk.\\

'''Instead:''' He decides that apparently he wants to experience the exhilaration to the point that he directly manipulates Flame Princess and Ice King to fight one another.\\
'''Result:''' For this act of idiocy, Ice King's entire home is destroyed, so he is forced to stay in Finn's treehouse, and [[spoiler:Finn loses Flame Princess's love and trust, directly resulting in their break up]]. Finn really did blow it.

'''Instead:''' Flame Princess absolutely refuses to listen to Finn, and instead allows one bad experience to render all the good times she and Finn had completely non-existent.
** Heartbroken over this break up, Finn wishes to regain his relationship with Flame Princess again.\\

'''Instead:''' He apparently thought it was a good idea to flirt with her as if nothing ever happened nor does he even admit that what he did was wrong. This comes to a head in the "The Red Throne" when his actions ultimately alienate him from Flame Princess to the point that they never speak to each other, at least until "[[AuthorsSavingThrow Bun Bun]]".

* In "Elemental", Finn, Jake and the Princess escape from Patience St. Pim who has kidnapped the Princess for ambiguous reasons, by sticking her to the wall with slime.\\

* After ending up in the future, [[spoiler:Betty vows to save Simon by any means necessary. She can't remove his crown' magic without killing him, and one option she considers is undoing this entire future, by making sure Simon never wears the crown. There is the fact that while Betty has good intentions, her quest has caused destruction to the land and to her mental health. No one wants this, since while their future appears like a BadFuture to Betty, it belongs to them. Even [[EvenEvilHasStandards Ice King is begging her]] to stop after she has to tie him up while preparing to time travel back to the past]].\\
'''You'd Expect''': Having gone this far, [[spoiler:Betty would make sure Ice King is tied up securely, or attempt to talk him down by explaining she wants Simon back and not rapidly aging Simon. Or if she is really sure, she would kill Ice King, since her saving Simon would undo that]].\\
'''Instead''': A tied-up Ice King [[spoiler:manages to sabotage her time portal despite his bonds and cause it to send her to Mars]].\\
'''The Result''': [[spoiler:Betty ends up on Mars, and now has no one hindering her stubborn quest to save her lover]].

'''You'd Expect:''' For [=LSP=] to apologise to her parents, then politely explain to them that it's an emergency. They might be willing to help.\\
'''Instead:''' She yells at her parents with what are implied to be swear words.\\
'''The Result:''' They ban her from useing the royal car.
* "Go With Me" has Finn taking advice from Marceline into going a date with Princess Bubblegum. However, her advice involves hurting her with things like headlock and the wolves.\\

'''The Result:''' PB banishes Finn from her kingdom.

'''The Result:''' Finn trusts Jake ''[[CassandraTruth even less]]'' than he should, Jake gets poisoned even more thanks to Finn's shouting, and Finn only finds out about Me-Mow thanks to sheer dumb luck of a bird grabbing the hot dogs in Jake's ears, knocking Me-Mow out of his nose.

'''Instead:''' The first Lemongrab steals the Princess's recipe for bringing candy to life and uses it to turn ALL the candy into misshapen lemony creatures who quickly start to starve. (We find this out in "All Your Fault".)\\

'''Result:''' For this act of idiocy, Ice King's entire home is destroyed so he is forced to stay in Finn's treehouse and [[spoiler: he loses Flame Princess's love and trust, directly resulting in their break up]]. Finn really did blow it.

'''You'd expect:''' That Jake would use his wish to help save Finn.\\

'''You’d Expect:''' At least one of the characters, despite not being active adventurers like Finn and Jake, would be able to recognize such an obvious hazard and not leap before they look, even as they are getting close to the exit as they speak.\\
'''Instead:''' Not even one of the characters does any of this and as a result, they almost fall to the ground below until Ice King [[spoiler:who is secretly using them all to get the final room deliberately for his own means,]] uses his torn cloak to parachute himself and everyone else down safely to the final room.

'''Instead:''' Finn takes her word for it and does all that. PB banishes him from her kingdom as a result.

* In "Jake vs. Me-Mow", Jake, having knocked everyone asleep by having Finn play their mom's lullaby, explains the situation of how the assassin who's trying to kill Wildberry Princess is in his nose, has poisoned him, and is forcing him to kill her.\\
'''You'd Expect:''' Finn, remembering Wildberry Princess saying she's being targeted by the Guild of Assassins, as well as seeing Jake's washed-out skin and bouts of recoiling in pain, would immediately believe his bro and try to get Me-Mow out of there.\\
'''Instead:''' Finn immediately suspects that Jake is acting crazy and doesn't believe a word he says.\\
'''It Continues:''' Jake writes out "Cat: Nose" with Wildberry Princess' meat pies, and Finn misreads it as "Cat: Noise", making him meow extremely loudly, almost waking up Me-Mow, until Jake shushes him.\\
'''You'd Expect:''' Finn would take the hint and stop his ''own'' foolish antics, especially after Jake explained everything clearly.\\
'''Instead:''' He meows ''even louder and faster'', causing Jake to [[BoundAndGagged bind and gag him]], then throw him out the window onto the meat pile he dropped earlier.\\
'''The Result:''' Finn trusts Jake ''[[CassandraTruth even less]]'' than he should, Jake gets poisoned even more thanks to Finn's shouting, and Finn only finds out about Me-Mow thanks to sheer dumb luck of a bird grabbing the hot dogs in Jake's ears, knocking Me-Mow out of his nose.

* In "Jake Vs Me-Mow" , Jake, having knocked everyone asleep by having Finn play their mom's lullaby, explains the situation of how the assassin who's trying to kill Wildberry Princess is in his nose, has poisoned him, and is forcing him to kill her.\\

'''The Result''': [[spoiler:Betty ends up on Mars, and now has no one hindering her stubborn quest to save her lover]].
