Synopsis
Five short stories about the senses
 * Sight
 * Touch
 * Taste
 * Smell
 * Hearing

Plot
It starts out with a strange man greeting the viewer, he says he will show them a series of five shorts from the "days of old", all connected someway, and would like you to guess what the "theme" is. He then takes out his holo-pyramid that has pictures of Finn and Jake, BMO, PB, The Ice King, and LSP. The shorts begin.

Sight
Finn and Jake leave BMO alone in the house as the claim they are going to the "grocery kingdom." BMO then runs up to the treehouse Bathroom, locks the door, and then asks itself "Finn?" "Jake?" to make sure no one is watching, and when BMO thinks no one is, it then continues to talk to itself, but this time to the mirror. BMO pretends to have an imaginary friend named "Football" and pretends to impress the friend by showing him that they are a "real living boy." Football is impressed by all the things BMO accomplishes like "brushing its teeth," "cleaning itself with soap," and "peeing" although BMO only pretends to do this stuff and does a poor job doing it. The camera then zooms out and Finn and Jake turned out to be watching BMO the whole time, and are weirded out by BMO's actions. They then check off "Prove BMO does weird stuff when no one is around" on their list of things to do.

Touch
For accomplishing this they try to high-five each other but fail miserably, missing the first time and hardly hitting the second time, so thinking that it was weak, they attempt again but this time with a running start. They succeed but they feel they can do better and back up even further for an even greater high-five. After accomplishing this achievement, Finn says he has the most awesome idea ever, and Jake says "He has gone mad with power, and he is loving it." There is a scene change and Finn is seen on a catapult talking through a walkie talkie to Jake who is in the Desert of Doom using an unknown skeleton and his stretchy powers to catapult himself, Finn then exclaims "GO!" and they are thrust towards each other. the scene changes and the senses "Smell" and "Taste" are shown afterwards. Finn and Jake reappear in "Hearing." (see Hearing for end of scenario.)

Taste
Princess Bubblegum is shown working hard to create a sandwich for Cinnamon Bun. She makes the cheese by spinning a cow around on a weird contraption that looks like what pilots and astronauts in reality use for speed and pressure simulations. She then creates the lettuce by growing and shrinking a small piece of spinach to the perfect size with chemicals, she makes a tomato by combining an octopus and a balloon in a transportation machine, she chants odd spells to make a loaf of bread. After doing all this she cuts up the ingredients and combines them in a unique way into what she presents to Cinnamon Bun as "the most ultimate sandwich that ever existed and ever will exist." To her horror, Cinnamon Bun eats the sandwich with a hole in his stomach which then spits most of it out onto her face and the floor. Behind a window, Finn is seen flying through the air, screaming, as the scene ends.

Smell
In the next scene, the Ice King searches through his cave for the source of a stench. He finds Gunther and accuses him of stinking up the place with his "nasty booty." Ice King tells the penguin not to worry because he will solve the problem, The Ice King then places Gunther on a sheet of ice and sends it to sea claiming that Gunter will hurt his chance with the ladies. However, upon returning to his cave, the Ice King discovers the place still smells, and quickly realizes the smell was his own, his pits specifically, The Ice King then has his penguins clean him in the shower, and After the shower the Ice King throws out the penguins used for his shower. Then Gunter returns soaked in water, and the Ice King tells Gunter that the smell had actually come from himself and he was sorry. While wondering how he got to smell so bad under his armpits, they then sit in his recliner and Gunther farts in his armpit. As this happens Jake flies by outside the window, and then the scene changes.

Hearing (and Touch finale)
The final scene opens at the Candy Kingdom Talent Show with Peppermint Butler as MC. On stage a candy person attempts to make baskets, but only makes 2 out of 10. Backstage, LSP brags that her rendition of These Lumps will ensure her victory. She proceeds to sing the song to those backstage. As she begins to rush on stage Peppermint Butler informs her that she is not next. Instead, a group of candy people go on, and to LSP's horror they perform her song, "These Lumps." After they finish, a distraught LSP goes on stage and mumbles the words to These Lumps. The crowd accuses her of stealing the previous act. In anger she throws a basketball at an audience member. The ball ricochets off a audience member and makes a basket. She repeats this twice. The audience loves it, and names LSP the winner, but, suddenly, Finn and Jake complete their final high five over the stage causing a sonic boom and falling to the ground with a thud. The audience is even more impressed and name Finn and Jake the talent show's winners, making LSP very upset.

At the end, Cuber asks if you learned the theme of the stories, and tells you to pause the show to think about it. He then reveals that the theme was the five senses to the people who did not figure out what the theme was, and the show ends.

Trivia

 * Finn's list said "Prove that BMO does weird junk when nobody is around, Cut fingernail, Punching seminar: 6 PM, Haiku, and Find missing thermos."
 * The title card seems to depict Finn and Jake trying to high-five each other. Although you can not see the strange man, his silhouette gives him away, as can be seen from his perfectly circular head shadow. It could be the Cuber.
 * Cuber referred to Ice King as, "the Blue Guy," and LSP as, "the other thing." Showing that he doesn't actually know who they are.
 * In Cuber's room, you can see a hologram based globe of the Earth as it was/is in the time of Ooo. Part of it is destoryed.
 * When Princess Bubblegum is making the bread and is dressed as a witch the music for the title card of Incendium plays.
 * This episode reveals that Cinnamon Bun has a mouth below his mouth.
 * Even though PB was seen in a weakened state, hair messy, sleep deprived, ect. she attended the Talent show looking totally healthy.
 * All the stories happen simultaneously, seeing as Finn and Jake fly by windows in "smell" and "taste" and also have big roles in "hearing," "touch," and "sight."
 * Even though "hearing" was a big part of the show, during the story, very little hearing was done, and more hearing may have been done in the other stories as the only difference was the singing of the song "These Lumps."
 * PB Makes what she claims is "the ultimate sandwich," but it is really a matter of opinion whether or not the sandwich is good.
 * BMO wants to be a real life "boy". This could mean he thinks himself as a boy or that he is a boy computer.

Cultural References

 * Ice King referred to Gunter as "Stinky," which may be a reference to Mr. Popper's Penguins, considering one of the penguins is named Stinky. It's pointed out that this short should be about Smell, one of the 5 senses discussed within the episode.
 * The teleporter Bubblegum uses to make a tomato is similar to one from the 1958 film The Fly, where a teleportation accident between a human and a fly merge them together into a mutant creature. (only in Bubblegum's case, the combination was intentional)
 * BMO wanting to be real is similar to the story of Pinocchio.
 * Princess Bubblegum's facial expression and manner of speech, upon successfully generating cheese, mimics the character Wallace from the series of claymation films "Wallace and Gromit". Wallace would often excitedly shout "Cheese" upon it's discovery.
 * Cuber's head is almost as big as Pops' head in Regular Show

Errors

 * While Finn was running on their third high-five, in the first scene, you'll see Finn's left hand was raised, but in the second scene, it would seem he raised his right hand but then chose to high-five Jake with his left hand.
 * After BMO puts the soap to its face, the soap is still in its hands. Football, the reflection, puts his hands up in surprise. Then, before BMO "pees," the soap is back in its hands.
 * It's extremely unlikely that Princess Bubblegum would be able to attend the talent show, as Finn flew by her window on his way to high five Jake. She would have to be in two places at once.
 * The original episode description said Pen Ward was hosting the episode.

Production notes

 * The TV Guide and Adventure Time's Official Site on Cartoon Network states that this episode, along with "Dream of Love," would air on April 6, 2012, earlier than scheduled. This is an error.
 * Time Warner Cable also mistook the date of the episode and said that Friday, April 6 2012 was the date of the episodes premiere instead of Monday, April 9, 2012. This was also an error.
 * Emo Philips makes a guest appearance in this episode.
