‘Adventure Time’, Explained (Sort Of)

Adventure Time might just be the greatest cartoon to ever exist. From the way it pleases all members of its audience from young to old, to its downright surreal and trippy moments, it’s not a show you see once and forget. But what about people who have never seen the show or feel they need a quick crash course?

Kotaku has you covered:

They live in the post-apocalyptic Land of Ooo, amongst various magical kingdoms, like the Candy Kingdom or the Fire Kingdom. Each day Finn and Jake manage to land themselves on some kind of adventure, usually rescuing someone who needs rescuing and defeating someone (or something) that needs defeating.

And that, my friends, is just the tip of the candied iceberg….
