No One Can Hear You

"No One Can Hear You" is the fifteenth episode in season three of Adventure Time.

Synopsis
A deer is wreaking havoc in Candy Kingdom. It breaks Finn's legs and hits Jake's head, causing Jake to act even crazier than usual, who has been waiting six months for a surprise party.

Plot
A deer is causing trouble in the Candy Kingdom by licking the Candy Peoples faces. Finn and Jake try to get rid of it, but it throws Jake off, kicks him in the head, and breaks Finn's legs.

Finn wakes up in a hospital room, and tries to get Dr. Ice Creams attention. Not getting even a reply by anyone, he gets up and into a wheelchair next to his bed.

He goes out for a stroll in the kingdom but can't find anyone. He then finds Jake foraging for food in a dumpster, occasionally reaching for a bandage on his head and saying "Ouchies," suggesting that he had a head injury. Jake explains that there is no one in the kingdom because he's waiting for people to throw him a surprise party, saying that it's his birthday. At first, Finn believes this, shouting to the town, "I sure don't expect anyone to jump out at me!"

Jake takes Finn back to his makeshift house, telling him to collect wood for a hobo fire. He agrees and starts to wonder around. Raising his arms, he realises that he has bad body odor. Wheeling over to a fountain, he removes his hat and shirt and bathes in the fountain. This is one of four times he has removed his hat. (To Cut a Womans Hair, Beautopia, Another Way, and this episode)

Finn wonders where everyone is, but Jake gets worried because he didn't want Finn to look for everyone and "ruin the surprise." After that, the deer comes along and Finn yells at it. The deer simply ignores this and gallops away. Finn hears noises coming from a nearby Sewer, thinking that they sound like candy people. Finn tells Jake about this. He say's to give them more time for the surprise. Finn gets a little frustrated by how he's been waiting all day for the alleged surprise party. Jake claims he's been waiting six months for people to come out, bugs crawling out of his ears while stating this. Finn realizes that Jake has lost it, and they weren't friends anymore. Finn then attempts makes a daring escape for the sewer, but the vicious Jake stops him.

Finn wakes up again, tied up to a lightpost. Jake has several puppets out. He dances them around with them saying, "Happy Birthday Jake!" Finn tricks Jake into letting him free, claiming that he won't run away. But of course, as soon as he is free, he makes a run for the sewer. Finn runs, with Jake right on his tail after realizing that Finn was lying to him.

Finn goes down into the sewer and falls into the water in it. He swims out and runs through a passage until he finds a strange looking door. He goes in the door and finds the candy people there stuck to the walls in an orange substance. Jake soon finds him down there and is excited to see everyone saying that it is his party. Finn tells him to stop acting crazy and punches him until his mind is the same again.

Jake is then back to normal and Finn explains that Jake trapped the candy people down there for his own "birthday fantasy." Jake takes Peppermint Butler off the wall and apologizes to him. Peppermint Butler tells Jake that it wasn't him that did it, and points to the deer standing behind them saying "it was him."

The deer walks up to them, stands in a bipedal position and removes its hoofs and uses his hands. Finn tries to attack it while Jake frees the candy people. Jake needs to climb up to get more candy people free and he is right above Finn and the deer. He unties the strings tied to the bricks on his feet, which fall on and possibly kill the deer. Finn and Bubblegum push the deer into the sewer pipe, where it is washed away by the current.

Princess Bubblegum explains that the deer wanted their sugar and says she didn't give it to him, if he knows what she means, and winks at Finn. Finn frowns and says "boy, it stinks down here," and they all go to take a bath. Jake carries everyone and they float away on the balloons tied around Jake, holding on to each other by the feet.

Trivia

 * It is unknown where Lady Rainicorn was after Finn woke up.
 * The episode's title may be a reference to the tagline for the 1979 movie Alien. It was "In Space, No One Can Hear You Scream". Another reference to Alien is when Finn goes to the sewer and discovers that the Candy People are stuck on the walls by a kind of goo, much like what the Xenomorph do to their victims.
 * The title card resembles the famous painting The Scream by Edvard Munch; this can be seen in the red background and how Jake clasps his hands to his face and screams. The swirling background of the title card resembles the poster for the 1958 Alfred Hitchcock film Vertigo.
 * Finn again removed his hat, and is also shown bathing for the first time.
 * It's unknown whether six months actually passed during this episode. Andy Ristaino stated that the time frame of six months was in dog months, in reference to dog years, the term sometimes used to describe aging in dogs. Jake's inability to tell the proper time could just be attributed to his psychosis, along with being unreliable at the time.
 * Jake keeping Finn from leaving, while his legs were both broken, may be a reference to Misery.
 * When Finn runs away from Jake and his leg casts break this is very similar to a scene from Forrest Gump in which he loses the braces on his legs as a kid.
 * An injured Finn waking from a coma to find the entire hospital he's in abandoned is likely a reference to 28 Days Later or The Walking Dead.
 * Actually, the origin of that cliché comes from the book The Day of the Triffids, written by John Wyndham in 1951. 28 Days later and The Walking Dead taken their beginnings from that book.
 * Finn states his legs where still broken even when he was running.
 * Finn never made his "freaky eyes" in the episode like he did in the preview.
 * You can see a Gingerbread Muto at the beginning near one of the house when Finn & Jake are chasing Stag.
 * If you look closely at one of the scenes where Finn was strolling when he first woke up, you can see a window slowly open.
 * If the Candy people had been trapped in the sewer by the deer, it is highly unlikely that they could've tended to Finn's broken legs and Jake's possible concussion. Though Jake wasn't surprised about Finn's legs being broken, as he says "Yeah, I saw that," so he could've helped Finn and himself when he woke up.
