4!! Tropes:
5* AnthropomorphicFood:
6** This episode introduces Breakfast Princess and Toast Princess.
7** Jake mentions getting the lunchmeat for the sandwiches he and Finn are making from a guy called "Meat Man". Though a weird nightmare he has makes him have second thoughts about eating Meat Man's meat anymore.
8* ContractOnTheHitman: Ice King tries to stop Scorcher by hiring a hitman hitman. Scorcher [[CurbStompBattle easily defeats him]].
9* EnemyMine: Eventually, Ice King teams up with Finn and Jake against Scorcher.
10* EvenEvilHasStandards: Ice King doesn't want Finn and Jake '''dead'''.
11* FakingTheDead: To stop Scorcher from killing Finn and Jake, Ice King freezes them to convince Scorcher that they're dead. It works and he leaves.
12* FreezeFrameBonus: After Scorcher leaves, you can see a cryptic poem written on the piece of paper he leaves behind.
13* ImplacableMan: The eponymous hitman, Scorcher. Once he's been told to put out a hit, he will not stop until his target is dead.
14* IronicEcho: At the end of the episode, Ice King sits on the frozen Finn and Jake and quips "Hey guess what? You're grounded!"
15* LiteralMinded: Ice King thinks that hitmen just hit somebody, as in like a punch in the arm. He hires Scorcher to do exactly that, not knowing that hitmen ''kill people''.
16* LookBehindYou: Ice King tries to distract Scorcher by pointing behind him and saying "Look, a supermodel! Look, a hoverboard! Look, ''the apocalypse!''"

20* SuperSmoke: Scorcher also has the power to turn into black smoke.
21* TalkingWithSigns: Scorcher communicates by creating scrolls with writing on out of thin air.
22* UnusualEuphemism: Ice King claims that a guy got hit in the "boing-loings", which is what finally distracts Scorcher.
