Episode: Trouble in Lumpy Space

The frog and the mushroom are a portal. Don't ask questions.

The next episode up is "Trouble in Lumpy Space." This episode introduces Lumpy Space Princess, who is hands down one of my favorite characters in the series. From her obnoxious mannerisms to the valley girl speak, her character is absolute hilarious in all the right ways. Though not often seen, when she's in an episode its almost always hilarious how out of touch she is with the rest of Ooo.

The episode starts with Finn, Jake, Princess Bubblegum, LSP, and Hot Dog Princess having a tea ceremony. During this LSP accidentally bites Jake, giving him the early stages of the lumps. The lumps are a disease that transform into a Lumpy Space person, both physically and mentally. If the antidote isn't used by sunset, he'll be lumpy forever.

They travel to Lumpy Space where its revealed that they only way to travel is by car due to the kingdom being on clouds. They meet LSP's parents, who are physically conjoined. They chide her for bring "smooth people" into their kingdom as well as her attitude. With that route closed off, they turn to LSP's friend Melisa. 

This doesn't really work, as LSP gets distracted by the "Promcoming" dance that night. Finn manages to wrestle the antidote away from some Lumpy Space teenagers wanting to be smooth and eventually cure himself and Jake of the lumps.

Score: 7/10

I like this episode, but LSP is the only thing it has going for it. Jake and Finn's transformation due to the lumps can be a bit grating sometimes, but overall pretty funny. I think its a good look into one of the places besides the Candy Kingdom, even if its not mentioned too many other times. Lumpy Space is beautifully designed, looking like what I imagine clouds would look like on a really good acid trip. Overall a few good laughs with beautiful background art. Also "lump" as a curse word. Brilliant.
