When he said "betty my princess" everything clicked for me in my child brain. Like the reason he chases the princesses is because part of him still is looking for her
@@plugshirt1762 damn man, don't be too hard on yourself. Although, not to brag but I just turned 18 7 months ago and when it first came out, I instantly understood the princess part the first time I watched it but that's just me. Heck that episode came out at 2011, I was probably 6 or 7 when I watched it.
What’s so genius about it is not only the characters but people who watch the show hate the ice king he is a weird gross and deranged loner that kidnaps women. But when we see the tape like Shelby says they show the weirdest person of ooo empathy…
It’s weirdly hilarious that their mic’s were muted while watching a set with an episode called “No One Can Hear You”. It sucks that it happened, but that’s so ironic yet so perfect.
I find it hilarious that seconds after you say 'I don't think anything important is going to be on that tape' it immediately reveals the Ice King's whole backstory. Show drops biggest unexpected lore bomb in tv history.
So many of the people I've seen react to this episode say something similar, it's hilarious. Show really does a good job luring you into thinking it's just going to be a typical early series random silliness episode of little consequence, then bam.
It's not a spoiler but he says "Betty my princess maybe you could love me again" I think that to some correlation with and or the reason why he captures princesses also the crown made him go crazy but it also kept him alive.
Ice King has to be one of the most tragic characters in any cartoon. The more we learn about his backstory the more interesting it becomes. The last tape was always a huge bombshell, it honestly changed the course of the show. I can’t wait for them to reach the later episodes where his connections with certain characters are explored, it’s really some of the best the show has to offer.
They werent married by the way, Betty was his fiancée... they were going to get married but alas... the crown happened (and if it didn't, the Mushroom War would have) Love how this episode completely changes how you see the Ice King looking back and going forward, not just for the audience but the characters too (since you guys are in like s5 onward, i can point out Finn first refers to IK as Simon in Beyond This Earthly Realm). Think about the tapes from Finn's perspective, he just saw a member of his own race go insane; this crazy old man that's been bothering him used to be just like him; he's now one of the only other humans he knows exists... and he's too far gone to even know who he used to be.
Fun fact: Ice King's origin story is inspired by H.P. Lovecraft's stories were a scholar finding a mystical item that slowly drives them insane is a recurring theme.
This is a turning point in the series imo. After this, it seemed to me like the writers had more of an idea where they wanted to take things, and more than that, that they had fully realized the land of OOO's background. ...Not to mention totally recontextualizing the Ice King, from an unredeemable if pathetic creep to a tragically demented old man. Looking forward to future reactions from here!
It’s a bit early but Merry Christmas & here is a present 🎁 of some surprising information about our favorite character the Ice King aka Simon Petrikov - The title design & outline of the title references to A Charlie Brown Christmas - What happens to Ice King is similar to Gollum from the Lord of the Rings franchise while also having some also from Mr.Freeze from Batman - When Finn says "What does it mean?" Is a reference to Jack Skellington from the movie The Nightmare Before Christmas - Notice when Ice King enters the tree there is a poster which seem to be a man wearing a badge similar the ones in the Star Trek series
Thank god this episode wasn't muted.. That would've ruined a real important moment for the series reaction. The last 3 were nice, but not super important to anything, other than introducing banana man and his space ship.
ive been excited to see you guys see these eps since you began!! yeah man, what a lore drop in the middle of whats otherwise a silly christmas special. and suddenly ice kings goofiness feels a lot more sad and bittersweet. it really elevates him above being a stock fairytale villain
Fun fact alouette is a children's song meant to teach different body parts but the actual content is about a big bird romanticizing about how delicious each part of a little bird is and saying that he will pluck every feather from every part of the bird....
This is IT. This isn't the BIGGEST episode in terms of things that will COMPLETELY recontextualize everything about Ice King... but this is the start of it. This is the part where he went from being a comedic villain to a tragic figure. MORE OF IT IS COMING. I WISH TO FEAST UPON YOUR HORROR AS YOU SEE IT. So as you might guess its less that Ice King is actually an incel but, because of the curse destroying his mind, he doesn't remember anything. He CAN'T remember who he was or why he wants things anymore; he's just lonely and stripped of all impulse control and restraint. So he doesn't understand that his obsession with princesses is him badly missing a fiance he used to call his princess; he doesn't remember her. He doesn't remember ANYTHING, not that he used to be human or how he wound up this way or his own name. There's a REASON people often compare the curse of the ice crown to dementia. You'll see why as you go on.
On the 1 hand I'm sad I won't get to see ur reactions to s3ep15-18, as there were quite a few interesting and important episodes among them. On the other, I'm very happy to see ur reactions to a highlight of this season that is ep19-20. The way it recontextualises our view of Ice King and confirms so many of our suspicions abt Adventure Time's world is just delightful. It really elevated Ice King as a character in my eyes and made me feel for the guy. Not to mention all the mysteries this sets up. Truly an amazing pare of episodes.
I'm watching these adventure time reactions through the mega 'we binged all of season' videos, so I've only seen your season 1 reactions so far, but I'm looking forward to when this comes out as part of a mega video
Oh this is the start OF LORE LORE LIKE THE LORE OF THE LORE lol 🤣🤣🤣 and incase you missed Simon aka Ice King lost his sanity if you look back at the video hes clearly a smart individual from his past but the crown made him go insane and incase you missed it in the video he said About Betty his princess airgo why he captures any of the princesses of ooo cause he is Still Simon just messed up cause of the crown
Actually Santa Claus was one of the previous owners of the Ice Crown, so the Ice King is actually Santa Claus due to the fact that the crown traps the personality of its owners inside of it.
Get ready for the beginning of the Adventure Time Lore. Pay attention to the next following episodes after this point. Also his name is Simon. Get used to calling him Simon.
This is when you start to really love Ice King. His layers and past flesh him out as a deep and important character, and along with Finn and Jake, gained some empathy for this old man. His behavior as Ice King is still problematic, but he has come so far from just “finn” main villain as he was first shown as. He is an integral part of this show.
Hm, I see, so Episode 15 & 16 and Episode 17 & 18 is not going to happen on UA-cam due to Audio Problems, huh? That’s fine, it happens, i am just happy you still managed to Upload this Reaction at least. Hehehe, it’s almost amazing how this Pair of Episodes started-off so Easy going and insignificant, but ended with a Bombshell of a Reveal that kind of started a Shift in direction for Ice King. Things will just keep getting interesting from here.
I absolutely loved this lore drop as a kid, up until that point ice king was just the wacky creepy kidnapper who had a screw loose and coulsnt understand social cues, and the instant i saw this episode it completely changed how i viewed ice king. I felt so bad for him seeing him lose control of his sanity due to a cursed crown he just happened upon
When he said "betty my princess" everything clicked for me in my child brain. Like the reason he chases the princesses is because part of him still is looking for her
Such a tragic thing to put in a kid’s show… this is where I knew it was more
This did not click for child me and I didn’t realize until I saw a comment a few months ago lol

I'm so glad the mic issues were solved before Holly Jolly Secrets
tho the loss of episode 15 is sad, i'd loved to see your reactions to that insanity
What was 15
@@Tm-dn9ob "No one can hear you" its the creepy deer episode
@@TerraWispr ohh, honestly I can go without reliving that
The penguins have different names. Gunter, Gunthalina, Gunther,
Gunder, Goonder, Goonthy, Gonter to name a few
F for the most disturbing episode 15 "no one can hear you" 😔
Well, no one could heard them...
Divine intervention
Not having to see the deer take off its hooves and wriggle its fingers is such a win, I mean it's pure body horror
God fucking dammit
is that the freaky dear one? i had a nightmare of that episode once. freaked me tf out
UA-cam viewers: Oh boy if only we could see them react to Holly Jolly Secrets sooner!
(*monkey paw finger curls up*)
JAJAJAJJAA time-skip full xD 🤙🏻
A true monkey paw since we miss the Deer
King Crimson strikes again
The beginning of why Ice King is one of the best characters in this show.
Finally you guys are seeing the episode that turned Ice King from a joke to a tragedy.
It's not a spoiler but he says "Betty my princess maybe you could love me again" I think that to some correlation with and or the reason why he captures princesses also the crown made him go crazy but it also kept him alive.
Ice King has to be one of the most tragic characters in any cartoon. The more we learn about his backstory the more interesting it becomes.

I can’t wait for them to reach the later episodes where his connections with certain characters are explored, it’s really some of the best the show has to offer.
The big one. This single episode is what began the process of making Ice King one of my favorite characters.
Imagine if their mics were still muted when reacting to Episode 20, would’ve been so unfortunate lol
I would literally scream.
The episode where Ice King went from goofy recurring villain to possibly the most tragic character in the show
Simon/Ice King literally adventure time's greatest character.
everyone misses the whole "Scandinavia" thing. as in, he got the crown from somewhere around Sweden and Norway. Scandinavia doesn't exist in Ooo
Prepare yourselves because from this point onwards the plot begins to get clearer
They werent married by the way, Betty was his fiancée... they were going to get married but alas... the crown happened (and if it didn't, the Mushroom War would have)
Love how this episode completely changes how you see the Ice King looking back and going forward, not just for the audience but the characters too (since you guys are in like s5 onward, i can point out Finn first refers to IK as Simon in Beyond This Earthly Realm).

And thus begins the journey to understand Ice King's tragic history. Genuinely the best part of all of Adventure Time IMO.
H-Man: Makes me feel sorry for the guy underneath the crown.
Me: You don't even know the half of it.
“It’s like crazy crazy crazy! All the time! …All the time…” - Ice King
Aww, I was looking forward on your reactions on the freaky deer episode and the wholesome fire pup/snow golem episode.
I’m sad that 15-18 episodes were muted, but I would be sadder if these episodes were muted, so it’s ok
YES ice knight lore time his story is so heart breaking
Fun fact:
Ice King's origin story is inspired by H.P. Lovecraft's stories were a scholar finding a mystical item that slowly drives them insane is a recurring theme.
"Betty, my princess..."
Not gonna lie, i almost teared when he asked forgiveness for betty, cause damn this guys really suffering because of that crowm
This is where Adventure Time went from a great show to an amazing show
LOL, I can't believe Marcy stole Ice King's song.
This is a turning point in the series imo. After this, it seemed to me like the writers had more of an idea where they wanted to take things, and more than that, that they had fully realized the land of OOO's background.
...Not to mention totally recontextualizing the Ice King, from an unredeemable if pathetic creep to a tragically demented old man.
Looking forward to future reactions from here!
and so it begins into the story of Simon and Betty
Tom Kenny is just sOO good 👏👏👏

Thank god this episode wasn't muted.. That would've ruined a real important moment for the series reaction.
The last 3 were nice, but not super important to anything, other than introducing banana man and his space ship.
I think the universe did us a favor lmao
finally they got to see a bit of ice kings past! I can't wait for the rest of them to react to ice kings past
We may not be able to watch episodes 15-18 but this one is really where the Ice King becomes one of my favorites.
From this chapter on, Adventure Time is going to change and just wait for what comes next...
They're already about to end season 5 🔥
ive been excited to see you guys see these eps since you began!! yeah man, what a lore drop in the middle of whats otherwise a silly christmas special. and suddenly ice kings goofiness feels a lot more sad and bittersweet. it really elevates him above being a stock fairytale villain
Phil was the ninja who got his "jammies" and glasses stolen in the City of Thieves.
Fun fact alouette is a children's song meant to teach different body parts but the actual content is about a big bird romanticizing about how delicious each part of a little bird is and saying that he will pluck every feather from every part of the bird....
Imagine their mics were muted watching this one 😭 I’d be so sad
“He used to be a scientist” 😡: I was an ANTIQUARIAN DAMMIT😡😂
It definitely was a bold move develop the lore in a Christmas special
And there is more to come
"so the crown is the incel?" LMAOOOOOO
Shame 15-18 got messed up but thank god it was them rather than these! *This* is where Adventure Time's best lore begins!
HOLLY JOLLY SECRETS! YES! FINALLY!

I can't wait for them to get to the entire backstory of the Ice King.
Can't wait for them to watch "I remember you" now
I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS EPISODE.
I feel like I’ve been waiting for this for an eternity and now the wait is over 😭
And so it begins for real
This was the moment Adventure Time changed and I'm glad it happened o Christmas
Punch Bowl;
Princess Bublegum;
Peppermint Butler;
Phlannel Boxingday...
Cinnamon Bun? (Maybe)
Just don't forget.
I'm so glad your mics weren't on mute these episodes, I've been waiting for this
Man, Ice King is (one of) the most depressed character in cartoon history. I feel for him
The punch bowl has such a deep lore...

This was the moment that I went from hating the Ice King to loving the Ice King. This show is incredible.
dont forget his wizard eyes that make anyone crazy in a couple days
Finally!! you guys now know the truth. Simon is by far the best written character in Adventure Time. His story only gets better from here
They have finally met Simon/Ice King I can’t wait for them to learn their story!!! My favorite character!
Yall are gonna LOVE the new AT mini series once yall finish
"So basically everyo--WHOTHEF*CK IS PHIL??" 😂
And the second episode I've been waiting for them to get to since they started reacting to Adventure Time checked off the list.
Nice.
I’m so freaking happy right now. I love this episode so much!

Yay! I've been really excited to see you guys react to this episode!
That's a shame, I was waiting for you guys to react to "Thank You", which is one of my all-time favorite episodes.
This is the episode everyone who watches AT reactions wants to see.
This scene always gives me chills
Actually Santa Claus was one of the previous owners of the Ice Crown, so the Ice King is actually Santa Claus due to the fact that the crown traps the personality of its owners inside of it.
"Hello, my name is Simon Petrikov."

Wow, the crazy old tart toter really was there to high five us yesterday!
Omggg i got super excited its amazing seeing the first reactions to this !!!!!
this lore drop made my little kid brain do backflips
ICE KING LORE!! omg i cant wait for you guys to learn more about him its some of my favourite parts of adventure time
good, cutting right to the first episodes of lore
Kinda weird how the episodes you reacted to cut out audio and saved this one. Funny how that works. Smart move universe.
Great reaction! I love the reveal here!
16:30 YEP! WELCOME TO MY THOUGHT PROCESS AFTER WATCHING IT ON-DEMAND SINCE I MISSED IT THE FIRST TIME!
Cant wait to see them learn more

I felt so bad for him seeing him lose control of his sanity due to a cursed crown he just happened upon
It's insane how important this lore becomes going forward.
If you thought the lich’s introduction was a tone shift for the show then you haven’t seen anything.
It’s finally here. The episode that fundamentally changed Adventure Time. The lore drops will become more frequent
Simon is one of the best characters in the show.
This is the episode where everything changes
