Ep 3. Five More Short Graybles

Adventure Time with Finn and Jake is a wildly imaginative and wacky series set in the land of Ooo. The show follows the adventures of the human boy Finn and his best friend Jake, a shape-shifting dog with magical powers. The fifth season takes fans on even wilder journeys with the iconic duo and their friends.

Episode three of season five, “Five More Short Graybles,” is a collection of short stories that each center around a different character in the Adventure Time universe. The episode opens with a jazzy tune as we see Finn and Jake hanging up flyers all around town advertising an “open-mic night.” As the two set up for the event, they begin to introduce each of the short stories to the audience.

The first of the five stories features a penguin named Gunther. Gunther is known as one of the Ice King’s minions, but in this particular episode, he takes center stage. In his short grayble, Gunther finds himself on a deserted island where he must use his wits to survive. This short story is both comical and heartwarming as viewers get a glimpse into the life of one of the show’s most popular and lovable side characters.

The second short story focuses on a group of candy people who host a cooking competition. It’s a high-stakes event, with one unlucky contestant meeting a particularly gruesome end. This short story is full of misadventures and unexpected twists, showcasing the show's unique brand of humor and absurdity.

The third grayble features Marceline, the vampire queen, trying to get some much-needed rest. But as we know, things rarely go as planned in the land of Ooo. Marceline is bombarded by a series of visitors, each more bizarre than the last. Marceline’s short story is charming and humorous, showcasing her delightful quirks and playful personality.

Next up is a short story about BMO, Finn and Jake’s sentient video game console. BMO’s grayble is a tribute to silent film, complete with black and white filming and dramatic piano music. BMO’s adventure finds the console caught in a game of cat and mouse with a group of mice who have taken over his house. This story is an amusing nod to classic cinema, complete with intertitles and slapstick humor.

The final short story features Finn and Jake themselves. In their grayble, Finn and Jake are on a mission to find the perfect song to perform at their open-mic night. They travel far and wide, meeting a host of colorful characters along the way. This short story is a celebration of adventure, friendship, and the power of music to bring people together.
