Finn creates a pie-throwing robot to prank Jake, but requires a power supply to make it operational.

Tropes

  • Big "NO!": Finn, when the Ice King zaps NEPTR the robot with his ice magic.
    "Noooooooooooo— Oh wait, that's what we wanted to happen."
  • Blood Oath: One is mentioned, when Finn releases a bunch of balloons from their blood oath after they transport him to and from the Ice King's lair:
    Finn: Thanks guys. Your blood oath is fulfilled.
    Balloons: YAY! To the mesosphere!
    One Balloon: FINALLY, WE CAN DIE!
  • Bowdlerise: During the imagination zone scene, the storyboards originally had Ice King teach NEPTR about princess storage. He says that if you leave all of your princesses piled on top of each other in a massive pit, they'll keep each other warm and "feed off each other".
  • Even Evil Has Loved Ones: The ending suggests that, in his own way, Ice King really did care for NEPTR as a son.
  • Insistent Terminology: When NEPTR worries about the morality of sneaking into the Ice King's castle, Finn assures him they're not breaking and entering, they're pranking and entering.
  • Ironic Echo Cut: Finn says this to NEPTR while they're sneaking around the Ice King's palace.
    Finn: [Jake] could wake up from his nap at any second!
    (Cut to Jake, still asleep)
    Jake: (talking in his sleep) I might wake up at any moment... Nah, I'm still asleep.
  • Lightning Can Do Anything: A freak lightning strike brings NEPTR to life, though it takes another one to fully power him up.
  • Pie in the Face: Finn plots to build a Never-Ending Pie-Throwing Robot to get back at Jake for his "butter prank".
  • Taking the Bullet: When Finn and NEPTR are fighting Ice King, Ice King fires a thunderbolt at NEPTR and Finn tries to take it for him, but this is subverted when the thunderbolt ignores Finn and hits NEPTR anyway.
