Top 25 Awesome Adventure Time Quotes
1. ”You’re letting your brain dial turn your fear volume up.” (Finn the Human)
Although people typically fail to stay calm in danger, Finn lives by a different principle. Tapping into the body's panic mode and fear volume can sometimes take people off their A-game.
So, stop, breathe, and let your brain dial turn down a notch.
2. “Responsibility demands sacrifice.” (Princess Bubblegum)
Princess Bubblegum reminded us that people can never get everything they want. Even when a person's mind thinks otherwise or is equipped with magical powers, being responsible entails losing what we want most.
3. “You won’t be able to tell if everything is going to be totally haywire.” (BMO)
Nobody knows the future, and we don't have a time-traveling spell to make things right when we want to. BMO means we might eventually find ourselves in a better or worse place, but we must learn to roll with the punches.
4. “Suckin’ at something is the first step to being sorta good at something.” (Jake the Dog)
Like Demon Cat, Jake, the shape-shifting Dog, has approximate knowledge of many things (including personal development). Nobody is ever an expert from the get-go, so try and try until you succeed!
5. “Everything small is just a smaller version of something big.” (Finn the Human)
In this funny Adventure Time quip, Finn experiences an epiphany. Truthfully, problems change shape and size depending on who faces them. Some might have it easy; others might not.
This is a simple reminder from Cartoon Network to get off our privileged horses and be more sympathetic.
6. ”You’re getting hung up on imaginary problems. You gotta focus on what’s real.” (Jake the Dog)
The mind is a fickle thing capable of building or breaking us down. When we flood our thoughts with imaginary problems, we lose sight of what's important — reality. Jake the Dog is the best friend we all need! But how old is Jake?
7. “I say creepy is just another label we used to distance ourselves from stuff we don’t understand, or that it reminds us of something in ourselves that we’re not comfortable with.” (Finn the Human)
Sometimes, we don't need to overthink and take a leap of faith. It's right that creepy is just another label- one of the truest quotes throughout the show.
8. "Listen, when I look at you, my brain goes all stupid, and I just wanna hug you and sit on the couch and play BMO with you!" (Finn the Human)
Like Finn, don't be afraid to tell someone you like them! They may either be squeeze-lemon-sour, or you might score yourself a date. If a boy named Finn can do it, so can you! Find out Finn's age in Adventure Time.
9. "I just thought about my anxieties, and it's like my mind hand touched a hot memory stove." (Carroll)
Adventure Time quotes are coming in hot with their vivid imagery. Fears and anxieties can be vexing, so always be extra kind to everyone you meet.
10. “You were zapped by Darren the Ancient Sleeper; your dome was cracked, your root beer soaked into the ground! I buried your remains in a mason jar which is now your head, and... an-and now I'm—I'm with Starchy.” (Cherry Cream Soda Girl)
Despite marrying Starchy, Cherry Cream Soda never fully emotionally moved on from her deceased ex-husband. You could imagine her burst of emotions when she saw Root Beer Guy again!
11. "Thanks for responding to my call, guys. I'm in a serious pickle, and I mean the bad kind—I mean like, a really smelly brown pickle?" (Prismo)
This is quite an unsettling yet very funny quote, showing that you can be extra crafty with your similes and metaphors as long as you get the message across!
