Jake is wise, but he’s also the reason that wisdom and intelligence are two different stats.

Jake was a well developed character

You forgot the best one: "The shapes are always changing. Changing is their normal state, like us. Even if we're not changing on the outside, we're changing on the inside constantly. There's some stuff about me that I've been ignoring for a long time. I'm afraid of that stuff. But it's part of who I am. As long as I know the shape of my soul, I'll be alright." That's my favorite quote in the entire show. Possibly in life.

Jake getting so many opportunities for cosmic power and denying it for sandwiches is honestly a way I'd wanna live my life. It also reflects a silent character development, in that he doesn't need control to be happy.

"Dying together sucks a little less than dying alone" is sadder in retrospect.

Sacrificed his favorite cup so finn could learn from it what a good boi

I once saw one interview where Pen described Jake as "one dog that gives terrible advice" . And, indeed, Jake can be really stupid sometimes. That's part of the joke, besides the humanization Jake, in the end of the day, still a dog. He has a short attention span, is always interested in food and has no goals or agenda, besides amusing himself. And that's the brilliant part of it. For having such low standards and simple mindset, Jake involuntarily becomes zen, dropping periodically some truths about pain, struggle, love and, mostly important, how in the big picture all those things do not matter that much. While Jake's intentions sometimes can be dubious, or just straight up selfish, his wisdom comes from his simple mind. Perhaps Diogenes was right. Living like a dog can be a virtue.

Finn: what about tier 15- Jake: *YOU STAY AWAY FROM THAT* Finn: … Jake: DO NOT DO TIER 15- Dam jake you good?

His explanation of law hurts with how true it is…

"You get everything you want the moment you want it, what's the point of living?" Him wishing for sandwiches all the time kinda makes sense now

I like how Jake pretty consistently has dumb, silly, worthless advice, but every now and then he drops some genuine pearls that are so profound they can be applied in real life

Jake is the perfect representation of what I want my life to be like in this world. Just coasting through life... enjoying every moment as it comes

Jake grew to be a wise responsible dog in the end.

Jake always reminded me of a drunk sage. Full of untold wisdom but also at various stages of inebriation during the day.

"STAY AWAY FROM THAT! DO *NOT* GO TO TIER FIFTEEN!"

Jake really busted his favorite cup no hesitation just to help his bro feel better all while spitting some wise junk. A real friend.

Jake was honestly so wise, he just hid it behind his goofy personality

Jake would make the best therapy dog. He's honest and gives great advice on everything.

"To live life, you need problems" as a child you laugh at Jake, as an adult you understand him

I love the fact that he threw away his perfect cup just to teach his friend a lesson

the echoing fart scene had me on the ground crying as a kid and here i am years later still laughing uncontrollably at it

3:20 - I just got the fact that Jake is taking about Lady Rainicorn - for the longest time I was so freaking confused as to why he was saying Flame Princess (or any woman that isn’t a rainicorn/other mythical creature) had a horn and a 15 foot stomach.

of all of them, 'sucking at something is the first step at being good at something' is the one that stayed with me the most. Its so hopeful and true.

What about tier 15? YOU STAY AWAY FROM THAT! ....... *DO NOT DO TIER FIFTEE-*

1:10 is straight up spitting facts about life

“Dang girl, if you wasn’t a figment of my imagination, I’d wanna have to babeh😏” 💯✌🏻🤣YES

See these clips are a prime example of why jake automatically got into the 50th dead floor. He was already content with life and very much a go with the moment kinda dude. So he found peace and tranquility before death and once death arose on him he was just that. Peace and tranquillity. Once jake realized what the 50th dead floor was he went and got reincarnated with his best friend just so he can do it all again because he enjoys life for what it is. All the small things. I grew up watching shows like adventure time, regular show, teen titans, Ben 10 all the classics and it really help mold me into the adult I am now. All those little lessons and values I got from watching these shows really stuck with me. So thank you jake. And thank you CN for making me who I am today. R.I.P Cartoon Network

Jake said he’s happy to be in multiverses

now that im older, most of jake's words rly hit me and i realized he's actually a wise dog

1:56 i never noticed the glass magically refills with milk until now. That's a genius trap

Jake understands that variety is the spice of life. There is no happiness without suffering, no life without death. Nothing *means* anything unless it's contrasted by something else. If the only color we saw was red, everything would be red and we wouldn't be able to walk around. It's the other colors that give objects meaning, and it lets us walk around. Same thing for stuff like happiness. You couldn't just be happy all the time, that would be a meaningless existence. You *need* struggle to make the happy times actually significant.

"We could rule them like gods!..angry gods.." this has to be the funniest quote

You missed Prismo following up with “Dude I’ll just make you a sandwich”. Best part lol

*Why does the “bad biscuits make the Baker broke bro” line sound like a DOOM verse*

Pauling: ok Heavy, do you want the stock shotgun, the Family Business or the Panic Attack? Heavy: 1:18

Adventure time is timeless for the same reason Spongebob is timeless. When I was 13 watching this show, I was Finn. Now that I’m 23 watching this show, I’m Jake. Much like Spongebob, the show is a portrayal of your adult self coaching your young self through life, which is why it will never be beaten.

Jake saying "I am in control" then having an immediate mental breakdown is one of the most relatable things in adventure time

I love how the cup is suddenly not real once Jake can't see it

"No punchies, I am in control! [instantly sobs]" That is the BIGGEST VIBE

I am close to tears, this show makes me so happy I’m gonna rewatch it til I die I think

Ok, now I can see why jake was sent to nirvana after death.

"NO PUNCHIES! I AM IN CONTROL!" *sobs*

the dying together one hurts so much after together again

2:05 that's definitely bender

Damn, I miss the old Cartoon Network because it actually made younger people think as well as teach life lessons

This show is such a gem on so many levels,the writing probably being the biggest one. What a trip to watch.

Jake spitting fax for almost 4 and a half minutes

jake was, still is and will probably remain as my favourite character in all of media, there is something about him that just resonated with me, and I think he is the purest form of stoicism, especially the favourite mug scene, man I love jake!

"Cause dying together sucks a little less than dying alone" dang

Nobody: Jake being a good big bro: DO NOT DO TIER 15!

Jake always dropped the deepest bits of existential wisdom when you never asked him to.

You forgot this " Work and fun don't mix unless you are a clown"

I always wondered why Jake didn't wanted Finn to get into tier 15 Then i understanded that having sexual intercourse with literal fire is kinda a bad idea

4:08 this scene is actually really good

the voice acting in this was always so top tier

Jake is the best character fr fr ong

2:25 jake summing up the history of how america happened

The lesson Jake gave to Finn when he threw his favorite mug out of the window really resonated with me. We must not become too attached to our possessions. And that includes people. Because at any point they can disappear forever, and you must accept it and move on.

I was being taught life morals and lessons by a cartoon dog who seemed like he was high most of the time. I miss the beautiful days when young generations had access to this kind of content.

Dying Together Sucks a Little less then dying Alone ~ Wise Magical Dog

I went to a catholic high school, and I wanted my senior yearbook quote to be “suckin at something is the first step to being sorta good at something” and it got rejected twice. My quote ended up being some random ass Bible verse.

Jake was one of the best characters ever created. He was the dad, the best friend, the wingman, the joker, the support system, the chef and the mystery.

The quote where Jake says “The shapes are always changing. Changing is their normal state, like us. Even if we’re not changing on the outside, we are on the inside. Constantly. There’s some stuff within me that I’ve been ignoring for a long time. I’m.. afraid of that stuff. But it’s part of who I am. As long as I know the Shape of my Soul, it’ll be alright.” Honestly one of the wisest quotes I’ve ever heard.

The fact that he later tried to get his cup back at the end of that episode is hilarious! 🤣

Jake teaching us Stoicism without us knowing❤

Jake is one of my idols, in one sense its quite childish to place a fictional character on such a high pedestal. In another sense, Jake´s ability to be so blunt is only one of his many admirable traits as a character. He´s like fine wine.

0:46 a true master artist

Just finished watching all 10 seasons it still slaps

I love how the cadence of his voice drops super menacingly when he says “Angry Gods.” 😂

I think the Favorite Cup analogy is the best to use for yourself and life and it always keeps coming back in my mind all the time.

one must imagine jake happy

"Making pancakes! Making, making pancakes!" - Jake the dog.

One time I had a dream of Jake and we were at beach. He emerged from the ocean and told me "If you can't find the spoon, you be the spoon."I woke up confused and asked everyone around me what it means, no one can give me a solid answer. That was like 7 years ago and I still wonders what does it actually mean. Edit: Years and months past, I decided I want to be the spoon. Something tells me there's something valuable about being my own spoon. Finding the right spoon is okay, it takes patience and all that but I would love to make my spoon from scratch, make a new spoon with my own hand, hard work, blood, sweat and tears. It might not be the perfect spoon but it holds value to me and me only. Haha, probably wouldn't make sense but this is what I've came to. I'm grateful I get to read others interpretation. Thank you all.

0:58 foreshadowed distant lands

jake is the dumbest genius we all love

Jake was such a good character

0:28 - 0:30 truly the pinnacle of comedy

2:17 Jake is woke (WAKE?)

The "If you get everything you wanted, right when you want them, then what is the point of living?" really hit me. Being taught patience and working hard feels more rewarding at the end of the day.

I like how Jake befriends real-butt deities by just being himself.

4:18 unironically good advice for a breakup

I’m surprised no one said “whatever you want mama”

“Sucking at something is the first step to being kinda good at something” 😩🙌🏿 love jake 🐾

Jake is is easily top 3 for my favourite cartoon characters

What a wise and profound sidekick.

This man gave up his favorite cup to teach his friend a lesson

Last clip is deep. Jake shows us to be stoic. You can’t control your environment, but u sure can control your reaction.

I like that Jake consistently wishes for sandwiches

0:15 me playing skyrim

he's in the same genre as uncle iroh. goofball father figure who's full of wisdom.

They literally wrote the best character ever. He’s so helpful and fun and I love him

Some of the stuff Jake says is so well thought out and actually really great for kids to hear

“DO NOT DO STAIR 15!” Jake knew what was up ;)

John DiMaggio is iconic for voicing this amazing character

1:10 I swear if there was one thing that carried over from my childhood it was this single quote

One of the wisest people in the world, and people won’t listen because he’s a fictional character. Every one of these quotes are excellent life advise, but no one really listens. Albert Einstein once said to read children fairy tales if you want them to be smart, but no one does anymore

Finn: "What about Tier 15?" Jake: "YOU STAY AWAY FROM THAT!" Finn: "..." Jake: "DO NOT DO TIER FIFTEE-" Lmfao

The pillow fort episode is by far one of the best. I love the little detail where jake gets his cup back 🤣

pure wisdom. jake is awesome.
