![]() ![]() If you haven’t seen the show at all, or at least haven’t seen it in many years, definitely give it a watch and add a new piece of the Gothic to your collection. Plus, the strange and dark humor is brilliantly written and leaves you laughing even in the moments that creep you out the most. The animation is wonderfully awful to behold and the aesthetic is refreshing and distinct (come on, nautical and gothic? What’s not to love?). Not only does this show do a fantastic job at disturbing its audience, but it also does so with endless creativity and genuinely unexpected imagery. The show also frequently uses hyper-realism and even live action in addition to the two dimensional animation, which is extremely uncanny and jarring whenever it appears.Īnd of course there are the countless wtf moments that throw terrifying images at the viewer and leave lasting nightmares for years to come: There are unexplained, potentially disturbing plot points, like the fact that Peppermint Larry has a wife made of candy who may or may not actually be sentient (and vengeful to boot). peanut butter ice cream mixed with chunks of Lenny & Larrys chocolate chip. The entire show just exudes “creepy” and uneasiness even in subtle ways. Crisp spearmint and peppermint ice cream swirling with pieces of dark mint. The show brings out some interesting antiquated creepiness in other ways as well, including the bloodthirsty Doctor Barber, obsessed with “surgery”Īnd the fact that Captain K’nuckles clearly has a drinking problem, thinly veiled through the use of “candy” and “syrup” in the place of alcohol. The show is seemingly set in the mid to late 19th century and it really captures the griminess of the time through the dim colors and almost too-realistic style at certain moments. ![]() Look at this aesthetic this dingy, watercolored art style, that’s so morose and so unique. In the same scene, there are three eggs: Cammie's, Flapjack's, and another one on the fire, yet in the previous scene, they only grabbed two eggs from the vulture.Ok so can we all recognize The Marvelous Misadventures of Flapjack in the discussion of modern Gothic works because like first of all.Flapjack's egg was smaller than all the others, though all the the eggs were the same size.Cammie asked for scrambled eggs in one scene, yet they eat the egg non-scrambled.He then hands Flapjack a live lobster, before stating "the store ran out of costumes". K'nuckles then opens Bubbie's mouth in a lobster costume, stating that there is a ship going to Candied Island and they could stow away as lobsters onboard. Once there, Flapjack says hello again to Bubbie, and says that she is his oldest friend before Bubbie cuts him off. Flapjack keeps an eye on Candy Wife while Peppermint Larry is out of town, making Captain Knuckles jealous. Cammie chases the two to the edge of a cliff, where Cammie then, just when it seemed like it was over for Flapjack, suddenly left her fury and gave them a finely-built boat with a bow on it to sail back to Stormalong Harbor. When Peppermint Larry hosts his annual Adventure Beard-Off Contest Captain Knuckles enters the contest, with Flapjack pretending to be his beard. Flapjack and K'nuckles have a small argument on whether the boat would float or not, and during the argument, Cammie wakes up, furious that Flapjack "leave Cammie in poorly built raft". Once K'nuckles finished the raft, he and Flapjack sneak away while Cammie is sleeping. Meanwhile, K'nuckles builds three rafts, the first one being made out of fish (and being eaten by a shark), the second made out of bananas (eaten by a sea monkey), and the third made out of wood. However, later, when the real adventurer asks Flapjack to set sail with him, Flapjack declines, saying that he cant. Soon, Knuckles finds himself contending for Flapjacks attention with the real adventurer, who is far superior to him in mostly everything. Pleased, Cammie befriends Flapjack, and they play in the mud together, along with finding and eating "scrambled" eggs. When he learns Knuckles is really a man, he is devastated, but then he stays to dinner. ![]() When it seemed the two would be eaten, Flapjack notices a bow in Cammie's hair and a bra strap under the clothes, and says that she is a girl. They then meet an ogress who tries to attack K'nuckles and Flapjack. Instead of landing on Candied Island, they wind up on Cammie Island. K'nuckles and Flapjack dress as sardines and stow away on a ship which they think will take them to Candied Island (while Bubbie was exposed as a mammal (not a fish) before the boarding, and stayed behind). Originally, it was set to air on on Wedgies along with Captain and ToeNeil, but for unknown reasons, both never aired. In this short, Flapjack and Bubbie meet Knuckles. Cammie Island is the 8th episode in Season 1 alongside with the episode " Shave and a Haircut. The pilot is an unreleased The Marvelous Misadventures of Flapjack short used to pitch the show. ![]()
