2	When Princess Bubblegum invites Finn to speak at a science expo, the latter seeks to become smarter, leading him to acquire a pair of magic glasses that turn him into a super-intelligent, black hole-conjuring science nerd.
3	----
4	!! Tropes
5	* AccidentallyRealFakeAddress: When Finn is having his finger impersonate a worm so he can spy on the worm class, he claims his name is "Wormy [=McSquirmy=]". Turns out there actually is someone called that, but he then gets attacked for not turning up to any other classes.
6	* AllAccordingToPlan: Everything after Finn puts on the Glasses of Nerdicon, including going insane, is part of his plan to get a kiss from PB.
7	* AstronomicZoom: A truly epic one, when Finn puts on the Glasses of Nerdicon. It zooms in on Finn's cells, molecules, then ''atoms'' and transitions into space where it zooms back to Finn from outside the atmosphere from outside the solar system from outside the ''galaxy''. Later in the episode when Finn's glasses are taken off, the zoom is reversed, only exiting out of his butt.
8	* BatmanGambit: During his time as a genius, Finn creates one that causes the expo to become a complete success (and secures himself a kiss from Bubblegum).
9	* BeyondTheImpossible: Finn manages to kill / blow up a black hole with his sword.
10	* ComicallyMissingThePoint: Rather subtle if you don't pay attention. Finn and Jake have to communicate with worms by going into a hollow apple, so Finn and Jake draw faces on their fingers so that they can talk to them. Finn points out that ''Jake'' doesn't have to do this because [[ForgotAboutHisPowers he can use his powers to shrink down, go into the apple and talk to the worms]]. Upon realizing this, he says "Oh, yeah!" and shrinks down, but he leaves his hand the same size with the face still on it.
11	* CoolSword: Finn's sword gets upgraded to a ''[[RuleOfCool fourth-dimensional]]'' one.
12	* GeniusSerum: The Glasses of Nerdicon make whoever wears them super-intelligent.
13	* HyperventilationBag: When Finn panics at the prospect of giving a speech at the Science Barbecue, Jake shapeshifts into a paper bag and tells Finn "Buddy, just breathe into me."
14	* HypotheticalFightDebate: The worm university class turns out to be "Theoretical Fightonomics", with the lecturer leading a debate about whether Creator/FriedrichNietzsche's Ubermensch could fight a "mandroid". The lecturer is biased in favor of the Werewolf Queen.
15	* IdiotHero: Finn at his core, as lampshaded in this one liner:
16	--> '''I can't help it, man! I'm all ''about'' stupid!'''
17	* KidsPreferBoxes: Princess Bubblegum accidentally destroys the spit-bubble sculpture Finn made for her without seeing it, but then loves the tray it was on and thinks that was the actual gift.
18	* LatexSpacesuit: Princess Bubblegum's science conference costume.
19	* MadScientist: Finn stage-dives straight into insanity when he puts on the Glasses of Nerdicon.
20	* MoreThanThreeDimensions: While under the effect of the Glasses of Nerdicon, Finn invents a device that can blow four-dimensional bubbles.
21	* NiceJobBreakingItHero: Finn's attempt to impress Princess Bubblegum by making himself smarter leads to the creation of a black hole that nearly gets everyone at the Science Barbecue killed.
22	* OhCrap: Princess Bubblegum after Finn creates a black hole.
23	* SeriousBusiness: The worms turn against "Wormy [=McSquirmy=]" for skipping classes.
24	-->''Truancy hurts us all!''
25	* TitleDrop: When Princess Bubblegum begs Finn to take off the Glasses of Nerdicon and go back to his old self, she says "I need the ''real'' you!" Also played with when Brainy-Finn yells "Don't you see, princess? We were all born to die!" "Born to Die" was the episode's [[invoked]]WorkingTitle.
26	* UnkemptBeauty: Finn seems to find Princess Bubblegum just as attractive in a T-shirt and shorts as she does in her usual princess dress.
27	* UnrealisticBlackHole: Finn creates a "black hole" from a fourth-dimensional bubble that threatens to suck up the attendees at Princess Bubblegum's science barbecue.
