Princess Potluck

Synopsis
The Ice King does everything possible to ruin a princess potluck he believes he didn't get invited to and uses a variety of tactics to attempt to do so.

Plot
The episode begins as Finn and Jake are walking towards the Princess' Potluck and Finn complains that his callous on his ankle, due to his missing sock, is going to ruin his fun and the party. An arrow then whizzes by Jake's head from somewhere off-screen. The two arrive and Finn gets excited about a bounce house, which turns out to be Bounce House Princess. She invites him in, but he declines. After greeting Princess Princess Princess, Embryo Princess and Skeleton Princess (who Finn says, "hey, you" to) they approach Princess Bubblegum. She tells them that she is hosting a raffle and the winner will receive a mysterious prize, kept in a cooler. Finn then gives her a soda, which is warm and shaken up. Princess Bubblegum then burries it in snow, which happens to be next to Ice King's Castle.

The scene shifts to Ice King, who is playing with mini teepees on his belly. He then hears the noise from the party outside and grabs Gunter and goes to see. He proclaims that his "off again on again GF" Princess Bubblegum and his "BF's" Finn and Jake are throwing a party without him. He gets mad and goes off to create a plan to ruin the potluck.

Ice King flies to a forest, where he captures a variety of rabbits and cats. He returns to the Ice Kingdom and begins to tape lemons onto the cats, and tells Gunter to bake more lasagna (which he pronounces, ''lazagnah). ''Ice King then flies out the window and goes to the borderland between the Ice Kingdom and the Princess Potluck. He pulls out two bags. He opens one of them and sends out the cats. Finn notices them and tells to check it out. Jake proclaims he does not like cats, but does like fresh lemon in his ice tea. Princess Bubblegum uses the lemons attached to the cats' backs to flavor her drinks. She states that they did not have to make a lemon run after all, to which Lumpy Space Princess relpies, "Yes!"

Ice King, seeing the cats did not work, plans to use the rabbits he fed lasagne to, but a terrible stench coming from the bag makes him leave them. He then plans to dress Gunter up as a princessain order to send her undercover and then begins to fantisize about marrying her, to which Gunter pulls out a taser. He then throws Gunter out the window to the potluck below. Jake notices her and announces her arrival, and then another arrow narrowly misses him. Slime Princess invites Gunter to party with them, to which she accepts, and begins to dance. Ice King, shocked, now calls the Banana Guards to "tattle". He says the party next door is disturbing the peace. The Banana Guards then say they don't like him, and hang up. Ice King calls again, this time in the guise of an elderly lady. The Banana Guards still think it is Ice King, so he tells them to hold on while he gets his "husband". His voice switches to a thick manly voice, stating they need to shut the party down immediatly. His voice then continues to switch back between the old lady, her husband, a pizza delivery boy, and "George". The Banana Guards then cut him off by saying they'll take care of it. When they arrive, they begin to party, which angers Ice King.

His next idea is to create another party in order to make them jealous. He creates some snowmen and tells a female penguin, Guntelina, to go serve food to them. She instead shoves the trays into their bottoms. The princesses do not seem to notice them, and Ice King wonders if there is someway he could magically destroy their party. He then realizes he can, as he is magic, and begins to attack the potluck. Everyone takes refuge in Bouncy House Princess, except for Finn, who jumps onto Ice King and beats him with his shoe. He asks him why he is doing this. Ice King states it was because he did not get invited to the potluck, but Princess Bubblegum states that she did, in fact, send him an invitation. He then says he always waits until his mail piles up and falls over, before he makes them into crafts. The party resumes with Ice King now happy. Princess Bubblegum announces that Finn won the raffle, and the prize is a sea lard. Jake is about to make fun of Finn's prize, but is suddenly hit with an arrow. Everyone turns to see the enraged Squirrel, foaming at the mouth, screaming, "YOU SON OF A BLEEP-BLOB!!!! JAAAAAKE!" Jake, confused, says, "Hey, yooouuu," and the episode ends.

Trivia

 * This episode marks the first time Finn calls Ice King by his initials as 'IK'.
 * Finn first said to Skeleton Princess: "Hey you..." the most likely cause of this is because he doesn't remember or recognize Skeleton princess.
 * The reason why Flame princess was not there, was because the episode took place doing BMO Noire, and Finn did not know her at that time. And she was still in her cage.
 * Even though the ice king caught some rabbits, they were never used due to them stinking up the sack they were carried in.
 * Ice king mispronounces lasagna in this episode.

Cultural references

 * While the Ice King tried and made the others jealous by having his own party, his dancing resembles the "Stanky Leg" and the famous "Twerkin".
 * Ice King was able to sense that someone was messing with his snow, similar to how Marvel's Spiderman uses spider senses.

Episode connections

 * Aspects of this episode hint that this episode occurs at the exact same time as "BMO Noire":
 * Finn is missing a sock and Jake has a lipstick spiral on his face and has long eyelashes, which matches up with the events of the former episode as they leave BMO alone in the house.
 * By the end of the episode, Jake has an arrow on his head, and Finn is carrying The Sea Lard, which is how the duo appear when they return to the house just as BMO finds Finn's other sock.
 * Finn's scream from "Burning Low" returns once again.
 * The Squirrel from "The Duke", appears once again, shooting Jake with an arrow.
 * The Ice King has a similar hat to the one Joshua wears.

Production notes

 * Although the episode's title is the same as one of Pendleton Ward's proposed episodes in the Adventure Time series presentation, it is not a recreation of the original proposed episode, according to Adam Muto.
