I say every episode is great, but they’re not always funny: some of them are so weird or so dark – or so both – that there aren’t many jokes.
It just feels like every time you start a new episode, you’re going to see something completely new. It has the throwaway spontaneity of a child making up a story on the spot, but it follows each one through to an inventive or funny conclusion. Technically it’s all set in one place, the Kingdom of Ooo, but whichever direction they head they seem to run into a race of creatures we’ve never seen before, an awesome place unlike any of the others, or a weird new magical artefact.

It’s free and easy with its visual imagination. It’s a mix of the straightforward earnestness of a kids’ cartoon, the fun plays on language you’d normally find in something more mature, and the conspicuously modern idioms that make the heroes feel likeably ordinary in their fantasy setting.

The fact that they’re never jerks to each other in any serious way just makes the series a fun place to be, and the characters completely likeable.
You win this round, Cartoon Network – I’ll watch these unauthorised rips of your content on YouTube. I would have bought the hell out of a DVD box set or something, but the Cartoon Network cleverly saw me coming and decided not to release one so that I would have no way of giving them money. I was all, “Man, did that pilot go down so well people still buy stuff relating to it years later? That makes it even dumber that it definitely never got picked up, a fact I will continue to assume without ever checking.” Then I checked that assumption, and found they made FIFTY THREE EPISODES of this incredible thing and never told me. Until about a month ago, when someone said something about an Adventure Time T-shirt on Twitter. It seemed far too awesome to ever get picked up, and sure enough, no-one ever mentioned it again.
