Vote up the jokes that went right over your head in 'Adventure Time.'
Adventure Time is a bright and colorful cartoon that's a captivating thrill-ride for anyone who joins Finn and Jake on their Candy Kingdom quests. It's also got some pretty dirty jokes for a kids' cartoon. While the characters the two protagonists encounter on their journeys might seem charming and innocent enough, the adult jokes in Adventure Time will sneak up on you and make you think twice about how much of a children's show it really is. Filled to the brim with both silly antics and grown-up humor, Adventure Time is a cartoon that provides fun for the whole family, not just the little ones.
Dirty jokes in cartoons are typically pretty low-key, since they need to fly over the heads of their younger audiences, so some of the Adventure Time adult jokes are pretty easy to miss. But just because a little kid can't appreciate the adult humor in Adventure Time, doesn't mean that you can't!
Just for a split second, in the episode "We Fixed a Truck," one of the candy hearts says something very naughty on its belly. As a crowd of candy is cheering in rejoice, the audience at home gets a look at the candy citizens.
Front and center, instead of "Hug Me," this big Valentine candy says "Tug Me."
The way Tree Trunks talks about apple pie is not in the way normal people talk about apple pie. Actually, the way she talks about her pie is the same way the movie American Pietalks about apple pie.
She likes to tease other characters with it, saying things like, "If you want a taste of my juicy apple pie, you better be nice, got that?"
During the episode "The Creeps," Lumpy Space Princess explains that she and her boyfriend, Brad, have split. The reason? He told her she wasn't ready for him. LSP, however, says she has no idea what that even means.
Meanwhile, throughout the whole episode, Lady Rainicorn is sucking people up into her body as some sort of weird Lady Rainicorn prank. After she phases Lumpy Space Princess into her body, LSP is suddenly "ready" for Brad.
Finn's attitude towards Jake's transformations suggests he may be a bit frustrated about other things in his life. In the episode "Gut Grinder," Finn makes an innuendo about Jake when he turns into a giant monster, exclaiming "Jake, you never turn into a giant monster when I want you to!
Instead, it's always, 'Not now, Finn, I have a headache.'"

Lady Rainicorn And Jake Are Into Some Pretty Trippy Stuff
Lady Rainicorn and Jake have a strangely intimate relationship with each other. For example, Lady Rainicorn says to Jake, "Do you remember when we got completely naked and frantically floated around in the farmer's cabbage patch?"
As the Duke of Nuts, you're asking to have dirty jokes made about your nutty royalty. In the episode "Henchman," Finn is given the duty of ransacking the Duke's castle. Instead of sacking it himself, though, he runs around shouting, "My boss is going to sack your castle!"
The Duke's response to this? "Why would you want to sack my nut castle?"
