3	When Finn and Jake find themselves at a loose end, they look for possibilities on a "questing board". However, without realising the implications, they take a quest from the reverse side of the board, and are forced to achieve the opposite of what they initially assumed, or see Ooo destroyed by a bizarre "reverse curse".
4	----
5	!!''The Flip Side'' has the following tropes:
6	* AbductionIsLove: The story is driven by Princess {{Painting\|s}}'s desire to be kidnapped by Monkey Wizard, and his indifference to her.
7	* ActionGirl: Princess Skyblade Harbinger, who ended Monkey Wizard's princess-kidnapping by stealing his rabbit.
8	* AllKnowingSingingNarrator: Slim Strings in the Western section.
9	* TheApunkalypse: The Wasteland Abominations have this style.
10	* BizarroUniverse: The effect of the Reverse Curse, which starts off by just interchanging things and then turns all things sense into nonsense.
11	* CallingYourAttacks: '''MARCELINE SUPER PUNCH!'''
12	* CoversAlwaysLie: The cover of the collected edition shows Jake chasing a cowboy-styled Lemongrab. Although Lemongrab makes a couple of brief cameos, he doesn't turn up in the Western bit. This is probably because the cover was originally an alternate cover for the comic issue, by an artist who probably wasn't told much beyond the basics.
13	* CowboyEpisode: The Dustberg section, complete with saloons, stetsons, a hillbilly musician narrator, and a main street gunfight.
14	* DireBeast: Mr. Biscuits the giant rabbit. %% NOT Rodents Of Unusual Size, as rabbits are not rodents.
15	* DisproportionateRetribution: The security guards at the museum beat the hell out of an owl just for flying over and hooting.
16	* FaceMonsterTurn: When the Reverse Curse turns Jake into the Princess Rustler.
17	* FluffyTamer: Marceline's response to the giant bunny rabbit.
18	* FusionDance: At the climax, Finn, Jake and Princess Bubblegum end up as random combinations of one another.
19	* HighSchoolDance: The Marshmallow Mixer.
20	* LaserHallway: Parodied when Finn, Jake, Ice King and Gunther are stealing the Lecherous Heart - after the four have done acrobatics through the lasers it's revealed that the "lasers" were normal torches held by security guards, who completely fail to react.
21	* MaybeMagicMaybeMundane: All Princess Skyblade Harbinger's prophecies end up coming true, but they're so mundane that they might just be good guesses.
22	* SeriousBusiness: The Marshmallow Mixer King and Queen election is treated like an actual war.
23	* {{Shapeshifting}}: Princess Painting's face and artistic style change randomly.
24	* ShoutOut:
25	** Some of Princess Painting's appearances are references to real-world artworks and {{painters}}.
26	** One of the covers for Issue 3 spoofs ''Franchise/PlanetOfTheApes''.
27	* SickAndWrong: The characters' response to Ricardio making out with the Lecherous Heart.
