2When Finn defeats a tyrannical, spank-happy goblin king, he winds up becoming the new ruler, only to find that his subjects insist on doing everything for him.
3----
4!! Tropes
5* BizarreAlienReproduction: Goblins in the Land of Ooo are apparently spawned in a "birthing pit".
6-->'''Half-Formed Goblin:''' I'm being ''born''!
7* BlueAndOrangeMorality: Because of their bizarre cultural norms, the goblins see Finn brushing his teeth by himself and trying to return stolen property as proof that he's just as evil as Xergiok.
8* TheCaligula: Xergiok was this as a ruler.
9* EquippableAlly: Finn fights off Xergiok and his Earclops army while wearing Jake like a suit of armor.
10* ExitVillainStageLeft: Xergiok teleports away when first defeated, and unsuccessfully tries to the second time.
11* ExtremeDoormat: The goblins are completely obedient to the old king's ways out of paranoia.
12* ForTheEvulz: Xergiok even spanked a goblin doing a marriage proposal for no reason. He does [[PetTheDog sincerely congratulate the bride]], though.
13* FusionDance: Finn climbs into Jake's mouth and wears him like a costume, to disguise himself for the second fight with Xergiok.
14* GildedCage: Finn is enticed by the cushy and beautiful palace of the Goblin King, but he quickly grows frustrated on learning that the Goblin's strict rules mean he's not allowed to do ''anything'' for himself, from brushing his teeth to fighting evil.
15* HoistByHisOwnPetard: Xergiok is defeated in his rematch with Finn by inadvertently teleporting into the path of one of his deflected fireballs.
16* JerkAss: Xergiok, he was a complete jerk to the goblins.
17* ObstructiveBureaucrat: Gummy prevents Finn from doing anything at all as goblin king, because the Royal Rules effectively strip the king of all power.
18* NoodleIncident: At one point a wizard cursed Jake to have his insides smell like vanilla.
19* ProperlyParanoid: The goblins are very frightened to defy Finn due to their abused past with Xergiok.
20* AVillainNamedZrg: Finn must defend the goblins from their evil king Xergiok (the X in his name is pronounced as a Z sound)
