Sex & Nudity

Violence & Gore

  • In an episode where these little people are terrorising Finn and Jake the both of them decide to use ketchup as a fake effect of blood when they kill them.
  • Even most of the violence present in this cartoon is mild and it's mostly towards fantasy characters (think of punches, kicks, swordfights... and the consequent bruises and scratches), in some cases this can be a little more graphic and even include red blood and gore, but that's rare.
  • The series mainly takes place in a post-apocalyptic world. The opening has a dismembered arm inside a hollow tree. Very fast, can't be seen without pausing. Fans think the arm belongs to Shoko.
  • In "The Enchiridion", Finn kills a monster shaped as a heart, red blood sprouts all over. Very brief and the blood might have not stained anything.
  • Some decapitation of small parts (noses and hands), or limb removal, mauling (i.e. arms chopped off) throughout the series, but no blood, only flesh wounds.
  • Several fight scenes are played out for humor. For example, there is a character named Ash, who everyone hates, since he is a douche. Marceline kicks his crotch and Finn starts beating him up with her. Finally Jake stomps him with his giant foot. Even the Ice King (Simon Petrikov) in one episode punches him with no good reason.
  • In "Who Would Win", Finn and Jake start beating up each other, because they are proving themselves who is more resilient. Both of them have lots of nasty looking bruises and cuts.
  • In "Freak City", the Magic Man turns a bird inside out making it show the birds guts, flesh and everything else.
  • Some scatological humor, including spitting and visible green vomit in some episodes, when the characters are disgusted. For example, Jake explicitly vomits into a jacuzzi in the episode "Jake the Dog". Farting is more frequent.
  • In "A Glitch is a Glitch", a pale skinned, creepy looking woman in a TV eats her own hair. She gags a lot, and is all the time ready to vomit. Jake and Finn are absolutely disgusted.
  • In "Princess Potluck", Finn has a rash on his leg in one episode. Some kind of disgusting pink liquid/puss drips from it.
  • Skeletons are seen in some episodes also, walking skeleton get smashed. Some characters practice necromancy.
  • In "Princess Monster Wife", the Ice King stole parts of other princesses bodies and made a monster out of them. Princess Bubblegum got half her face torn-off to set an example.
  • In "Daddy's Little Monster", a demon gets half his body torn off by a laser. All his insides show.
  • In "Return of the Nightosphere", a demon starts vomiting bananas and another one gets his head turned into abdominal muscles.
  • When Hunson Abadeer (The lord of evil), appears from The Nightosphere (Hell), he reconstructs himself to the real world in a gory manner. All his organs, blood and skin stick together, and create him in a brief (half a second) scene. This happens in "It Came from the Nightosphere" and in "Marcy & Hunson".
  • In "All Your Fault", is seen that Castle Lemongrab has rooms filled with guts, a room with a giant heart and a room with a monster that peels it's skin off to reveal it's skull.
  • In "Escape from the Citadel", The Lich has skin peeling off his ancient, rotten flesh and what seems to be veins hanging from his arms. He looks very disturbing indeed.
  • In "Mortal Folly", Finn presumably "kills" the Lich by shoving a sweater inside his (the Lich's) eye socket, and proceeds to pull through the other socket so that the sweater comes out between the sockets. And it does, breaking the Lich's skull.
  • In "Goliad", the homonymous character squashes an innocent bee.
  • In "The Pit", a demon sucks up almost all of Jake's blood. The blood is shown. A sword is made out of a demon's blood.
  • In "Mystery Dungeon", a rat appears on scene and grabs a pie, then Lemongrab punches it and kills it and he starts to eat that pie from its mouth.
  • In "The Great Bird Man", we see the eyes (with their roots) from a man, and they're put on and extracted at some points of an episode.
  • Some scenes from the miniseries "Stakes" include fingers briefly burning from the sun, a neck being pierced, a stake coming from the skin, animals dying and a character sucking blood from a horse.
  • In the episode titled "The Jiggler" a creature that Finn and Jake take home becomes violently ill and spews what appears to be blood or vomit out of many orifices of its body. In an effort to stop the leakage, Finn and Jake plug up the holes, only to have the creature expand and eventually burst. Jake and Finn are covered in twisted strands of the creature's body as Jake remarks "Our pet exploded".
  • References to violence and situations of threat are also frequent; this include "slay you and munch your eyeballs", "rip your throat", "unzip your skin", "rip your heart", "my head will be decapitated", "we'll suck their guts out through their brains", "pull that arm", etc. None of this finally occurs.

Profanity

Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking

  • Princess Bubblegum pours herself a glass of what appears to be alcohol in one episode. A character is named Root Beer Guy and his head has the shape of a beer mug. PERO.
  • In one episode a character is seen smoking a bubble pipe.
  • Marceline is seen wearing an anti-smoking shirt in one episode.
  • Ice King sees magical creatures and spirits with his "wizard eyes" ("Mortal Recoil"). An hallucinogen is mentioned briefly in another episode ("The Real You").

Frightening & Intense Scenes

  • Emotionally intense scenes when the show refers to character's backstories.
  • In one episode, Magic Man opens a door by constantly cracking and breaking his wrist.
  • Some characters have scary faces or bodies. Some are just disturbing in general.
  • Lemongrab eats Lemongrab 2 once and is next time seen with a chunk of his face bit off and he has no torso. Lemongrab 2 is eaten again and is seen again inside the stomach of Fat Lemongrab with a larger chunk of his face bit off.
  • Any episode involving The Lich can be intense. Also, speaking of said character, he has an extremely frightening and nightmarish appearance that is potentially terrifying for viewers, especially younger ones, and talks in a similarly creepy demonic-sounding voice.
  • It should be noted that on non-US airings of this show on TV, the episodes have been very heavily censored and cut. For example, in UK and Australian airings, almost every episode has had several edits made to it. Sometimes entire segments have been cut, or even banned (but it's very rare).

Spoilers

The Parents Guide items below may give away important plot points.

Violence & Gore

  • On-screen deaths are seen sometimes (for example, in one episode, a character dies and turns into ash (he is brought back to life in a later episode though). The episode "Too Old" depict extremely graphic cannibalism, and on-screen murder. Some episodes have relatively hidden themes such as assassination ("Jake vs. Me-Mow") and suicide plots ("Princess Cookie").

Frightening & Intense Scenes

  • A murder episode where a jelly filled bun is killed. A scene where Finn finds him is very disturbing, with the murdered guy smuttered all over the closet. He gets really shocked. But it was just an illusion.
  • Finn was abandoned as a baby, and at first he doesn't knew who are their biological parents. The scene where Finn says goodbye to his mother (specifically to her AI mode, because she had to sacrifice her body in order to save her people), in the latest episode of the miniseries "Islands", makes one of the most emotional scenes of the show.
