* Jake in "Prisoners of Love:" "Yeah I know what 'Ice King' means! A BIG NERD!" [[spoiler: Later episodes reveale the Ice King used to be a well-read archaeologist who published multiple books on the occult and arcane before the crown drove him insane. He really was a big nerd.]]

* Many people complained that "Incendium" felt short and should've been a two-parter. Turns out that the season 4 premiere continues ''directly'' from where "Incendium" left off, so the two episodes may as well be considered [[TwoPartEpisode parts of the same episode]]!
* Pen once lamented on the fact that he had to [[http://twitter.com/#!/buenothebear/status/28267009250689025 cut a high five from an episode.]] It turns out that the crew must really like high-fives since [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P_GNy2kIa68 this clip from "Five Short Graybles"]] includes a sequence full of [[MundaneMadeAwesome needlessly awesome high-fives]].
* [[http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m9398qbuaH1rqdl22.png This image]] becomes a lot more relevant after watching "Lady and Peebles".
* Justin Roiland (Lemongrab's voice actor) apparently predicted the plot of "All Your Fault" (and parts of "You Made Me") two years before the episode aired, in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C-eOw6W7Vxc a strange freestyle rap from his podcast]]. It's uncanny to say the least.
* In the Japanese dub, Finn is voiced by Creator/RomiPark, who is Korean-Japanese and speaks both languages as well. And he can't understand Lady Rainicorn. Even more hilarious (and ironic) she also voiced by another Korean-Japanese actress, [[CelebrityVoiceActor Bong Young-hi]].
* This is not the first time Romi Park voiced [[Franchise/FullmetalAlchemist a short, blond kid hero who loses his right arm and replaces it with a mechanical prosthetic]]. Perhaps Finn should consider himself lucky that he didn't also lose his leg and Jake's body...
* Lemongrab's very first line in the show was "This castle is in unacceptable condition!" In the episodes "All Your Fault" and "Too Old," his castle is in very unacceptable condition.
* Some fan art reinterprets Me-Mow as either having a more humanoid figure and/or being much taller. Several seasons later, when she does finally appear again, she's taller than Finn and has a feminine shape clearly more like a young woman rather than a FunnyAnimal.
* [[spoiler:Cloris Leachman voices an elderly undead creature whose last words while in her skeletal form were "IWarnedYou, you butt" right before she gets decapitated by the protagonist. Leachman would later on play another elderly undead creature in the form of a zombified CrazyCatLady whose scene involves toothlessly nibbling on a protagonist's butt also right before she gets decapitated by a protagonist in ''Film/ScoutsGuideToTheZombieApocalypse''.]]
* In "The Cooler", Princess Bubblegum infiltrates the Flame Kingdom so she can disable their weapons of mass destruction before the AlwaysChaoticEvil country can use them against hers only to get caught by Flame Princess, nearly starting the very war she was trying to avoid. In ''Manga/AttackOnTitan'' '''MAJOR SPOILERS''' [[spoiler: it's revealed double-agents infiltrated the walled city so they could prevent the "evil" humans inside (defectors fleeing persecution and potential persons of mass destruction) from using their hidden weapons of mass destruction. The attack winds up exposing the weapons to the civilians who didn't know about them, the enemy country, or ''anyone'' existing outside their walls, panicking the ''only person in the whole city'' who knew how to use the weapons into passing his power to another, and giving ''that'' person many, many, ''many'' reasons to attack the agents' country.]] Additionally [[spoiler: both PB and the double-agents ''should'' know their "enemy" isn't planning on attacking anyone but they think they're clever enough to risk provoking them anyway]].
* [[spoiler: Finn's father Martin was jailed for years as a cosmic criminal, for about the same amount of time Finn's mother Minerva kept nearly all the remaining humans on Founders Island -- essentially as a jailer]].
* In "Preboot," Dr. Gross says that the next logical step forward for human body modification is "scissor-hands and telescopic spider-legs." Fast-forward to 2018, and it seems that [[WesternAnimation/SpiderManIntoTheSpiderVerse Mac Gargan took her advice to heart]].
* One of Creator/CartoonNetwork's blocks in 2016 paired this show with ''WesternAnimation/RegularShow'' in a block titled "Regular Time Adventure Show" with a catchy rock song for the promos. In 2017, the two shows were given their own {{Crossover}} comic, ''ComicBook/AdventureTimeXRegularShow''.
* In "Her Parents", Jake nervously greets Rainicorn's parents with a gratuitous "Annyeonghaseyo" (Korean for "Hi" or "Hello"). Years later, thanks to the surge of popularity towards South Korean culture due to K-Pop, "annyeonghaseyo" has become something of a meme among K-Pop fans.
* [[https://disney.fandom.com/wiki/Ian_Lightfoot The protagonist]] of [[Creator/{{Pixar}} Pixar's]] ''WesternAnimation/{{Onward}}'' looks and dresses like Marshall Lee.
* Creator/KumailNanjiani would later portray a cosmic being in [[Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse Eternals]].
* In "It Came From the Nightosphere," Marceline sings about how her father ate her fries and how she reacted. One year later, [[WesternAnimation/TheLooneyTunesShow a completely different Cartoon Network show]] would base [[Recap/TheLooneyTunesShowS1E21FrenchFries an entire episode]] around a character overreacting to another character eating their fries.
