Right after they leave, BMO runs up to the bathroom, pulls up a stool, hops on so that it can see itself in the mirror, and begins a friendly conversation with its new friend Football. In the first of five short stories in the episode, Finn and Jake leave the treehouse for groceries, allowing BMO to do whatever it pleases. The first of the Five Short Graybles episodes in Adventure Time is also the first time that the audience and BMO meet Football – better known as ‘BMO’s reflection in the bathroom mirror’. When the characters realize that they’re inhabiting the same dream, BMO remarks “the unconscious is so complicated,” yes it is, little robot, yes it is.
BMO is invited into a theater to watch a show in which CMOs play Finn and Jake and talk about how they are boring without BMO around, leading BMO to muse “I love art.”Īs the episode goes on, it gets darker as the dreams turn into nightmares and BMO, Finn, and Jake are all pulled into the same dreamspace. Unsurprisingly, BMO is a director, adorned with a beret and scarf, holding a bag of popcorn. When an axe cut creates a rift in the wood so large the roof falls in, along with all the bikini babes who had flown onto the roof for reasons that remain a mystery, BMO yells to its invited guests that these aren’t the real Finn and Jake and to “get them!” The bikini babes immediately begin attacking Finn and Jake who remain silent through a good amount of pain, but finally Jake cries “uncle” and Finn begins to explain that their wager all began that morning when… but BMO plainly says “oh I don’t care” before excitedly declaring “let’s just party!”Ī classic “we’re all in each others’ dreams” episode, Orb gives us a view into BMO’s subconscious. Finally they get desperate and start to hack at the wall with axes leading to a surprising reference to The Shining. Hijinks ensue as Finn and Jake attempt to convince BMO that they are indeed the real Finn and Jake and that BMO shouldn’t be scared. BMO assumes something has taken over Finn and Jake’s bodies and frightenedly jumps into the wall, then begins to adorably rock itself while listening to the song. When Finn and Jake don’t say anything in response, it asks why they aren’t talking and gets “the juice?” and “me too” signs as a response. It excitedly announces that it’s invited some bikini babes over to dance to its favorite song. BMO enters the episode after the wager has begun. Shh! begins with Finn and Jake deciding to see who can go longer without talking and only using a limited number of pre-prepared signs to communicate.

But BMO is up to the task and never breaks character, using – to Jake’s alarm – a real gun to free Finn from Me-Mow’s capture and bring Me-Mow to justice. The episode takes a turn when disgraced assassin Me-Mow mistakes the wanted posters BMO created for its LARP for real wanted posters and actually attacks Finn while he plays as Jack Rabbit Johnson.

One of the greatest lines BMO has in the series comes from this episode when Jake complains that BMO’s spurs hurt his horse’s back and BMO replies in a monotone: “horses do not talk.” This list will include both BMO-specific episodes and some which aren’t, but still include some of my favorite BMO moments that helped it carve out a place in my heart.īMO’s western outing introduces us to a bit of a mean streak in our tiny robot cowboy, or at least an extreme commitment to playing through its scenarios as seriously as possible.īMO begins the episode making special sentient sandwiches to bribe Jake into acting as a horse for the LARP, and we later learn that BMO has similarly bribed Finn with special sentient sandwiches and Neptr with a single Finn cake to take part as well.
With BMO’s special episode of Adventure Time: Distant Lands already released on HBO Max in the US and hopefully to be released soon in the UK, I wanted to take a look back at some of the best BMO episodes in the original Adventure Time series. The little robot has all the capabilities of a smartphone (and more, as we know it can play VHS tapes), an incredible imagination, a sometimes concerningly intense commitment to its passions, and it shares my love for classic genre cinema. BMO is easily one of my favorite characters from Adventure Time.
