Everybody knows the hit Cartoon Network show Adventure Time. It's about Finn the human and Jake the dog having fun and being heroes in the land of Ooo. What do I think of it? It's pretty clever and definitely deserves the acclamation it gets. I do however, have a consistent criticism about the show. It's often too weird. I remember an episode about Finn waking up as Bubblegum's prince and then this green worm appears and it jets get weirder and weirder from there. You can never know what to expect from the show. I've reached the point to where I've grown numb of the outlandish shenanigans. I've expected the weirdness in every episode. The excessive weirdness is tiring me down. And I have accepted the fate that I will always like the show but never ever love it.
The same goes for this episode. It has a great story. Very relatable. I've always had to procrastinate every task and then doing it in the last minute. But, it took an unexpected rural route. It goes into a dream sequence which went long, weird and confusing. Kinda like puberty. It was filled with numerous outlandish shenanigans in between. Many many weird and almost creepy concepts of dream world. And it's just too whimsical and freaky to actually be enjoyable. Well at least in my eyes. I mean it had a couple of good moments. The drag racing bit, the carnival bit, it was all nice and funny. But that dream sequence is so influental and lurid it was the only memorable thing in the whole episode. I guess I could say it's concepts are creative, but it was way too exaggerated. Pity. Knowing that this episode had a great concept to start with.

One of those episodes that went downhill. I like the idea of SpongeBob pretending to be dumb in front of Patrick. It proved to be a very good concept when perfectly executed. As SpongeBob shows his brilliant act, Patrick shows his clueless charm. Combining to make the perfect comedic reaction. However, once Patrick completely forgets about the entire plan, it somehow gets a bit annoying. I believe it wasn't much of Pat's fault. But Janet and Marty are irritating. Especially in the end when we found out that they didn't have a son. Making the whole thing a bit pointless and wasteful for SpongeBob. Who sacrificed his dignity for a friend. Speaking of SpongeBob, I couldn't get enough of his idiot acts. Absolutely genius. The slapstick works so well with the concept in this episode, it's unbelievable.
As a whole, it had a pretty good concept. Many funny dialogues and brilliant slapstick from SpongeBob. It's just that it would be better if the 2 fake parents acknowledged SpongeBob's honesty. I can understand Patrick being a dummy, but when the other 2 starts gagging along, it gets itchy. It does produce some funny one-liners from the starfishes. It's just that the 3 are too brutally stupid to be enjoyed. Another pity. Considering that the first half of the episode is really funny and enjoyable. To see SpongeBob establishing the situation and explaining his genuine actions to sacrifice his self-regard just to get the best out of his best friend. It's an episode with a refreshing concept. A good plot. But the episode took the wrong route towards the end. It turns out the main plot came 5 minutes before the end. And it's annoying. Wow, things turned out terribly for this episode. It's one of those episode that sliced bread on it's peak. But then it made a mistake ...
