Plot

Cuber hosts the second installment of his short graybles series, this time focusing on Finn and Jake, Marceline, Tree Trunks, Ice King and Beemo.

1. Finn and Jake's tale starts with Jake bringing Finn a book he found that he believes is a warlock spell-book, which is actually an old pre-war, fairy-tale book which take reads "Little Jack Horner", which he believes to be a spell. When they try the "spell" and fail they decide that sticking their thumbs into things and saying "Oh, What a Good Boy Am I" will activate the spell. They then proceed to stick their thumbs in random places throughout Ooo.

2. In Marceline's tale, Marceline is searching for Wizard Bill's music store and encounters a Rock Giant who helps her get there.

3. In Tree Trunk's tale, she sees Shelby accidentally mimicing an obsene gesture at her so she goes to the Banana Guards, who prove unhelpful. So she decides, along with Cinnamon Bun and the Gumdrop Lasses to take the law into their own hands, they attack Shelby when Tree Trunks realizes that it was a misunderstanding.

4. In the Ice King's tale, The Ice King announces that he will be marrying his new "Bride", which is his foot that he drew a face on. He gives "her" a wedding ring and the Gunters drink his "good luck" tears.

5. In BMO's tale, he gives Football another lesson in being human. during the lesson he accidentally shorts himself out while "drinking" tea.

Cuber then announces the theme, which is the five tastes: Jake states that the plum from the pie was sweet, Marceline says that the music store owner plays the most savory sounds in Ooo, Tree Trunks says that the incident left a sour taste in her mouth, The Ice King says that the tears are salty, and "Football" says that the tea is bitter. But when Cuber is interrupted by the "audience's" confusion about the theme, they thought it was the five fingers, Finn and Jake stick their thumbs in things throughout the episode, The Rock Giant uses his Index finger to assist Marceline to the music store, Shelby accidentally mimics an obsene gesture when sitting on the middle finger of a fist on a statue, Ice King puts the engagement ring on his ring-finger, and BMO teaches "Football" to drink tea while holding his pinky-finger upwards. Cuber states that people haven't had five fingers for Bagillions of years.
