Business Time

Business Time is the eighth episode in season one of Adventure Time. This and the episode "Evicted!" were shown before the show's official premiere.

Synopsis
Finn and Jake are melting icebergs to find items to build their Gauntlet Dock, but they find several Businessmen that they hire to do small chores for them, like finishing their Gauntlet Dock. Later on, Hot Dog Princess cries for help when Battle Cubes attack her. Finn and Jake get tired after battling the cubes for too long and leave it to the Businessmen. As the Businessmen battle the cubes, Finn realizes that they are helpful after all and accepts them. The Businessmen soon began to do all the work for Finn and Jake as they ate ice cream and played games on Beemo. Eventually, the Businessmen turn into villains and start vacuuming Fuzzy Friends into their "Care Sac" to protect them. Finn fires them, and they suck him up too, but Jake, using his fat to his advantage, gets stuck in the vacuum tube and keeps growing until the vacuum robot explodes. As Finn falls, he rehires the businessmen and tells them to refreeze themselves and float back into the ocean. Finn tries to suck in his gut like Jake, but is still fat.

Trivia

 * The cover of Fantastic Story Magazine was the inspiration for the title card.

 * The businessmen write "Fin and Jake Adventure Co." misspelling Finn's name.
