Finn and Jake find a creature in the wilderness and make him their pet.

Tropes

  • Buffy Speak: Finn refers to grapes as "purple whatevers".
  • I Taste Delicious: Jake eats a drawing of himself before the Jiggler can, and remarks "I taste awesome."
  • Literal Metaphor: The song Finn is singing addressed to "baby" is done in a manner of many songs addressing the speaker's love interest as "baby", but here Finn's song is singing to a literal baby from a possibly parental perspective.
  • Noodle Incident:
  • Our Monsters Are Weird: The Jiggler is a strange little creature that looks like two black and white balls stuck together, with four noodly limbs it can stick out of various orifices on its body. It communicates by whistling and can apparently eat drawings right off the paper.
  • Pet Baby Wild Animal: Finn and Jake take in a stranger creature they call the Jiggler, but end up having to return it to its mother when it falls ill.
  • Rage Breaking Point: The mother Jiggler rejecting her baby seems to really set Finn off.
    Finn: Mama's supposed to love babies! She's supposed to love babies!
  • Spoof Aesop: The lesson Finn and Jake learn from this episode is "kidnapping people is bad".
