Damn it! I was waiting for my posting rights to come back so I could submit a loop of this. More convenient than hitting the "play" button fifty times in a row. posted by Rory Marinich at 8:56 AM on November 21, 2012
I'm impressed by how many awesome things they managed to get into one short video! posted by El Sabor Asiatico at 8:57 AM on November 21, 2012
Here's a loop for those of us who don't want to hit the play button fifty times in a row. posted by joedan at 9:02 AM on November 21, 2012
Isn't it nice how a vapid and cartoony song can become something wonderful when you add Jake's singing to it? Ba-zing! posted by Mooseli at 9:12 AM on November 21, 2012 [11 favorites]
Oddly, when I saw that episode, the first thing that popped into my head was this relatively obscure video from 5 years ago.
That's the first thing I thought of too! But to be fair, I go back and watch that video at least once a year so I can giggle at "hyrup". posted by jason_steakums at 9:21 AM on November 21, 2012
Woah mhum, major nostalgia moment right there. Also, yes, uncannily similar pancake-related beats. Accidental, or deliberate? posted by Mizu at 9:24 AM on November 21, 2012
The high note makes me laugh every time. posted by chococat at 9:29 AM on November 21, 2012
Also great is the sing-alongable ukulele Extended Version, although it features significantly less New York and significantly better eyebrows. posted by Mizu at 9:30 AM on November 21, 2012 [1 favorite]
This is why they invented mashups. Also, I actually made bacon pancakes for my daughter a little while ago. They came out pretty good, but not really much better than just pancakes with bacon. posted by Rock Steady at 9:32 AM on November 21, 2012

This is why they invented mashups the internet.
That Empire State of Mind song is fucking execrable, but Jake and Adventure Time and bacon and pancakes elevate it to sublimity.
Incidentally, this is pretty much what my life is like. I mostly can't perform any task around the house without singing about it. It must be really irritating to live with me, but mrs ozzy doesn't complain. Much. posted by uncleozzy at 9:56 AM on November 21, 2012 [1 favorite]
That didn't sound very doleful at all.
Behold the power of Adventure Time. I seriously CANNOT WAIT until my kids are old enough to watch this show with me. posted by Doleful Creature at 10:05 AM on November 21, 2012 [2 favorites]
This is the perfect thing for a long afternoon at work just before a holiday. *hits replay again*
(Also, there's a part of me that thinks Jake has a certain "Jay-Z with a mustache wearing glasses" quality to him...) posted by librarianamy at 10:06 AM on November 21, 2012
When I watch Adventure Time, I feel like that kid in American Beauty watching the plastic bag dance. posted by orme at 12:56 PM on November 21, 2012 [4 favorites]
Bacon in pancakes? Sounds like something my (German) grandmother makes. She lines a huge pot with bacon, fill it halfway with batter, then folds the sticking up bacon strips over the top and throws is in the oven. She calls it "putt".
(Serve with either maple syrup or strawberry syrup.) posted by Brian Puccio at 1:18 PM on November 21, 2012
chococat: Despite Adventure Time's awesomeness, sometimes you just have to cook dinner.
I have burned dinner due to Adventure Time being watched in an adjacent room. True story. posted by Rock Steady at 1:24 PM on November 21, 2012
Dear AsMe: where can I find the best bacon pancakes in New York? posted by The Whelk at 2:02 PM on November 21, 2012

Holy crap that sounds amazing! I'm going to make a gluten-free version this weekend. posted by joedan at 3:16 PM on November 21, 2012
Man, the season opener a couple of weeks ago was good. They have really been filling in the show's mythology ever since the Christmas special about the Ice King's past. posted by painquale at 4:28 PM on November 21, 2012 [1 favorite]

I'm not sure how I feel about that. I think I liked it better when it was more mysterious. posted by Rock Steady at 4:39 PM on November 21, 2012
God in Amsterdam I asked the very nice and very straight forward waitress if I could possibly have both apples AND bacon in my thin pancake and she said sure and that's what I ate for breakfast for two weeks straight.
You don't even need lunch with an apple bacon pancake in your tummy. posted by The Whelk at 4:45 PM on November 21, 2012 [1 favorite]

It's probably on record for the shortest season break ever. I was all bummed out at the cliffhanger and then, what, less than a month later we had new episodes? posted by curious nu at 5:01 PM on November 21, 2012
i hate Futurama, especially Bender. but fuck if i don't have a crush on that same voice as manifested through an especially stretchy cartoon dog. posted by Conrad-Casserole at 8:10 PM on November 21, 2012
