"It's just a regular deer" *Deer takes off hooves and wiggles his fingers* "😮"

Okay, I know we're all terrified of the 'deer,' but can we acknowledge that Finn, a 14-15 year old boy, got BOTH of his legs crushed in TWO different spots and just said, "Whatever?"

it's even creepier how this deer is a 1 and done character

"why would they make just a regular ass deer?" Deer removes gloves "NO NO!"

the fact that his eyes are on the front means its a predator fucking scary

There are so many things worse in this universe but that deer always triggers a primal terror once the gloves come off.

The fact that nux said skinwalker Jake, and the deer is a wendigo reference is on point. Literally hanging the candy people up to eat them later. Scary stuff.

The time adventure time became a psychological suspense thriller. Certainly won’t be the last.

See, Nux. You WISH it was Magic Man. Though he's a nihilistic agent of chaos, he still operates on his own jerk logic; you can understand him. NO ONE knows what's up with the deer, and that's horrifying.

The episode was trying to make us think that Jake did it and had gone crazy from the head injury he got from the deer but, Nux for the entire episode was too fixated on the deer to even buy into that possibility. Also, when the deer stands on its hind legs and reveals it has hands, that's peak creepy character design.

This episode was a hell of a childhood micro-trauma. Like this deer 🦌 is a the sickest pscicopath, everything he has done and was done to him ranges frpm horrible and disgusting to all the way deeranged.

And yes this is the "deer episode" hehe welcome to what I can only describe as Adventure time SCP.

As far horror / trauma shows for "kids" goes, while its wild they allowed this episode, it makes more sense when you consider this was the same network that aired Courage the Cowardly Dog.

It’s cool how a few episodes before this BMO said Jake like to “pretend it’s a joke” when a situation gets scary or traumatic

And still, to this day we never knew what the hell was up with that freaking deer.

All horror stories: None can scare better than I. Adventure Time Deer: Hold my hooves.

This deer took out Finn Jake Princess Bubblegum and Peppermint Butler absolutely diabolical

Nux: “Why did they make the deer just a normal deer? That’s just weird for this show.” 13:59 Nux.exe has stopped working

The Stag is one of the show’s creepiest character even storyboard artist & lead designer Andy Ristaino agrees to this, & this is one of the scariest episodes by the fans - “No One Can Hear You” title is maybe a reference to a quote form the movie “Alien” that being "In space, no one can hear you scream" which makes more connection to the movie with the Stag sticking the Candy People in the sewer by goo just like the Xenomorphs did, but with the balloons Jake wears & carnival music that play in the sewer is also references to “It” by Stephen King - While the title card is a reference to the famous painting called “The Scream” by Edvard Munch while also being a reference to Alfred Hitchcock - When Finn is running away from Jake his leg casts breaks similarly to when a young Forrest loses the braces on his legs while when he wakes up after a medical procedure only to find the Candy Kingdom empty is similar to the beginning of the movie “28 Days Later” - Notice that if you look in Jake's tent there is a picture of him & Finn that looks like characters drawn by artist Keith Haring & also there is a comic book called "Man Man" as a parody of Batman

Adventure time deer can't hurt you, it doesn't exist. Adventure time Deer: Removes hooves.

How that deer removed his hooves revealing his human hands and wiggling his fingers actually made me laugh but also gave me the coldest shiver as a teen.

I find it really funny that the deer episode happened right after the Vaush stuff, one could even accuse someone of planning this ahead of time

Nux: this is just a normal looking deer deer: takes off his hooves

The Deer is literally Pennywise. It lives in the sewers and takes the form of a non-threatening thing and attacks people.

14:02: I mean, I wouldn't be surprised if it was magic man but it was just a crazy deer. This is never brought up again, btw. XD

“There’s no way this could be a regular deer.” (Deer removed hooves)

4 more episodes left till nux explodes

I love that the fountain is shaped like the Jiggler Mom from season 1. Also, I don't think it was 6 months. That was just Jake's head trauma talking.

Never noticed before but a nice detail is how Jake spends a lot of time in this episode facing away from us. Almost like he's dismissing the suspicions.

Last part of the Adventure Time Horror Arc. Also, this episode was so disturbing.

most of this series is a "how did they get away with this" moment

There is a theory regarding the deer and it is that if you remember the chapter "very young" Princess Bubblegum says that to grow and increase the mass of candy she needs: mass of candy (as the candy people were in that same chapter) and something like saliva to join them and finish it off with some "heat" The theory says that the deer planned to recreate it on a large scale using the entire kingdom, but it is something that was never clarified until the end of the series.

That deer gave me nightmares as a kid. I'm glad I get to relive it with nux

yeah the Candy Kingdom has a lot more people in it than we see down there, or rescued, so either assume background character animation limit or all the other citizens actually were hiding out of fear.

Also notice and take note of the music design of this episode sound is a very big thing. Especially with something I noticed when Finn Trice tricking Jake it becomes this playful carnival music to the Slowdown creepy music

Adventure time does a fantastic job at getting you to think that you're used to the batshit insanity of it, and then just completely bombing your expectations. And this episode is no exception to it.

Ah yes. Nightmare episode.

Something about giving Jake's soulless eyes emotion is unreasonable unsettling to me

Nux: "i don't like this" Chat: "wait until you see the most f up part" Nux: "did Fin sleep through a apocalypse?" Chat: "wait until you see the most f up part" Nux: "This is too freaky" Chat: "wait until you see the most f up part" Nux: "OMG he is coping" Chat: "wait until you see the most f up part" Nux: "what the f is going on is he a skin walker?" Chat: "wait until you see the most f up part" Nux: "Dude this is insane" Chat: "wait until you see the most f up part" Nux:" Dude this is so Dark" Chat: "wait until you see the most f up part" Nux: "WHat is this episode" Chat: "oh you have not seen anything yet dude hehehe" Nux: it is worst it is officially worst" Chat: "wait until you see the most f up part" 14:00 15:59 Chat:"and that is the Deer episode"

YEP! This episode still creeps me the fuck out! It’s amazing how tweeking one detail can make something ten times creepier!

Nux's disturbed self had me giggling like Patrick at the end of the Secret Box episode

I dropped everything for this Deer. Can't wait to see Nux lose it.

Nux beat the pre watch allegations with the "its just a normal deer" lmao

I'm pretty sure this episode was made as a test by the creators to see what they could get away with for Adventure Time.

Yes! It’s _this_ episode! There are only 3-ish other episodes that I’m as excited for.

Definitely One of the weirdest Episodes of Adventure Time

Even though I've watched Adventure Time like 2 and a half times, this one has alway been in my brain

Oh Deer

Nux every episode: This broke me! The Deer: *actually breaks him*

We need too make sure Nux watches both episodes 19 & 20 @ one time.

I like how he said Jake was a skin-walker but didn't say that when the deer juat stood up and started throwing hands Also 4 more episodes till "THE EPISODE" nux ain't ready

11:35 This must be a reference to the 2001 Jeepers Creepers movie, they definitely took inspiration from it. Can't believe a kid's show went that far.

Heh, Nux's reaction to the deer's hands.

By the way Nux, the deer is still alive. He appeared in the final part of the Elements miniseries, transformed into candy.

Nux: time for adventure time because I need the drugs Bad trip commences

3:40: SNAIL!

Fun facts about this episode: Finn is seen bathing for the first time, contradicting his statement about not bathing in "Too Young." Gingerbread Muto appears at the beginning near one of the houses at the right side when Finn and Jake are chasing the Stag. When Finn looks into the sewer the first time, the manhole reads CKPW (presumably meaning: "Candy Kingdom Public Works") and has a picture of a cupcake. The title card music for "Five Short Graybles" plays toward the end of the episode, after the Stag washes down into the sewers. This episode is often considered the scariest episode of Adventure Time by fans. Cultural references: The episode's title may be a reference to the tagline for the 1979 movie Alien, which was "In space, no one can hear you scream." Another reference to Alien is when Finn goes to the sewer and discovers that the Candy People are stuck on the walls by a kind of goo, much like what the Xenomorph do to their victims. The title card resembles the famous painting The Scream by Edvard Munch. When Finn runs away from Jake and his leg casts break is very similar to a scene from Forrest Gump where Forrest loses the braces on his legs as a kid. In Jake's tent is a picture of him and Finn that somewhat resembles characters drawn by artist Keith Haring. Finn waking up after a medical procedure only to find the Candy Kingdom empty and abandoned is similar to what happens to Cillian Murphy's character at the beginning of the movie 28 Days Later. The lettering on the title cards is similar to that of Saul Bass's work, better-known for making the title sequences and poster for many Alfred Hitchcock films. In Jake's tent there is a comic book called, "Man Man," which closely resembles the Batman comics. Continuing with the horror references, the fact that Stag's lair is down in the sewer (where he meets his demise), the imagery of the balloons Jake wears, and the haunting snippets of carnival music that play may be references to the story It by Stephen King. Storyline analysis: Finn would have died if left in a coma unattended for more than a few days. However, there is a theory that each citizen in the Candy Kingdom was kidnapped one by one by the Stag within the 6 months time span-meaning that for every Candy Person that was kidnapped, there was still one to take care of Finn while he was in a coma, until the Stag kidnapped them. This could mean that Finn recovered shortly after the last Candy Person who took care of him (as well as the last one to go missing) was kidnapped by the Stag. Jake says that Finn had been in a coma for six months. However, Jake's head injury may have made him say a falsehood. This is supported by the fact that Finn says his legs are "still broken," despite him being shown to have extraordinary healing rates in other episodes. After six months, even a normal person's legs would be healed, but would have atrophied. However, it's also possible that his remark about his legs still being "broken" was a joke, considering he was laughing after saying so and Jake laughed with him. Errors: When the comic Jake kept in the box is first seen, it says "Manly Man," but it says "Man Man" in its second appearance. Finn shouldn't have taken a shower in the fountain while in his cast, because casts aren't allowed to get wet. All the beds in the hospital have a sign to write names on at first, but the one with Finn's name and others disappear during Finn's stay. When Finn punches Jake, he lands next to a wrench and a toolbox, which is not seen again. When Jake regains consciousness, he is not behind a door, while in the next frame, he is. During the zoom out where Finn tells Jake he imprisoned the candy people, Peppermint Butler is not covered in saliva, and Princess Bubblegum disappears from where she was first seen. When Jake reaches out to free Peppermint Butler, he is covered in saliva again. In the final scene, Peppermint Butler and other candy people are not seen flying while hanging from each other's legs. It appears the number of candy people Finn first sees does not match the rescued ones. When Finn goes back to the tent to tell Jake that he heard candy people in the sewers, the knife Jake keeps in the box next to the mattress is no longer there. When Jake reveals he has been waiting for six months and bugs start to crawl on him, his cape is gone. It reappears as Finn starts to move away from the tent. When Finn "pops his top", his nipples are visible. However, when he walks into the fountain to bathe, they are gone. When the stag is hit with cinder blocks his fingers are shown. As the candy people roll him to the drain he has his hooves back on (and while spiraling down the drain).

“Ooo No! It gonna be another horror episode isn’t it?!” Ahhh Nux, You poor soul, Good luck Boss🫡

Freak Deer needs no explanation, only fear from children and adults alike.

This episode creeped me out so much. Something about the way it stands and removes its hooves is genuinely terrifying.

Finn acknowledging that Jake just might be to far gone is probably the most terrifying part to me

Alastor’s Deer part before it Died

12:18 "you? You Did This." Finn doesn't just sound concerned or afraid anymore, He sounds betrayed.

Another horror episode, that's when you realize Pedelton Ward bamboozled CN. Adventure time? Nah, Horror time.

The suspense of this ep is everything almost as good as the deer

This is one of the most disturbing part of my childhood... esp when he removed the things on his foot and shows his fingers...

There are so few genuinely threatening things, but the way they manage to use childish fantasy to build real tension is unmatched! Adventure Time is truly a gem❤

Yeaaaaa this was the only ep that actually felt like I was on drugs or had a mental break and just woke up/regained sanity.

Oh great Nuxanor I AM EDGING for you to see the episode that everyone wants you to see Make the Adventure time reactions more, since YOU WILL MENTALLY EXPLODE 4 more left to go

I’ll always remember that scene from my childhood of the deer taking off their hooves to have humanoid hands, messes me up even now to see it

Nux said so many things people on Twitter are gonna take out of context and cancel him for 💀

yes Nux. this is in fact the deer episode that everyone talks about.

I'm almost sure that deer or Lemomgrab was my introduction to this show. It wasn't even the episode, it was a gif of it on Tumblr as a reaction to a post

I know this traumatised me as a child when I remember the Deer as terrifying without even remembering what happened in the episode

1:01 Finn really got his legs broke like Ichigo did against Tesra 😂

Been waitin' for the freak deer episode.

The Deer only shows up for 1 episode but god damn does it leave you with a lasting impression

that dear appeared traumatized us then just dipped into the background

Here it is, boys, the trauma turned into an episode!

Nux sees Jake get a concussion and wear head bandages, “It must be trauma!”

It's not six months, Jake lost track of time after going insane

Watched this on Kick, and then watched it again here. This episode is truly terrifying. Loved watching your bad trip!

This episode terrified me as a kid! Even now as an adult it sends shivers down my spine 😰

FUN FACT: The deer's real name is "Mr. Hands". Look it up! *Do it*

The fact that Finn got his legs snapped into places and just said "whatever"😮

they made this episode just to scare kids the fact its never mentioned ever makes it even worse

It's finally here... the deer episode, and that pep butt AND PB WERE CAPTURED TOO... and it's just some rando 1 off... what truly was this deer? I've seen some scary shiz, but even Deer God in Spooky's House of Jumpscares pales to this, Cthulhu and Satan are hugging each other crying in the presence of this deer.

Wish Finn's hair grew back when he was sleeping, just as a little hint, have it raggedy and longer

Now that I've been reminded of the trauma of this episode, I can't help but think that this deer was sent by Alastor himself to terrorize the mortal world.

3:00 SNAIL🐌 behind Nux

this episode was literally peak for me, when someone said adventure time I was always reminded by this episode, and I was like ffn 10 back then, it's been 10 years and this ep is just so memorable, literally etched in my brain

Dude. This is like animated creepy pasta. I hope this episode doesn't give me nightmares, because my brain likes to use what I watch against me whenever I sleep.

13:50 And doesn't that make it all the more terrifying?

This episode didn't scare me but it is like the only episode I remember everything that happened from when i washed it as a kid

I don’t ppl realize just how horrifying this episode was to kid due to their imagination. Picture being on a mission with a partner before the suspect knocks you out, only to wake up for an unknown amount of time with not a soul around. With only your partner being flat out insane upon seeing him and not being able to make out what he is thinking or saying. And even worse for the candy staff as one by one each of the staff was taken or went missing trying to take care of their only hope in a coma before disappearing themselves.

This episode and the farmworld episode both absolutely fucking traumatized me as a kid

Aight nux, This is legitimately just a mutant deer. It's a deer that was mutated into some freak creature.

1:14 clearly nux has never seen the squidward toenail episode

2:55 If only it were that simple... It's NEVER that simple in Adventure Time...

SCREW MY WORK, I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS
