this episode was already creepy enough, but then the deer took off its hooves. *THAT THING HAS HANDS*

Bro as a kid I literally had nightmares of the scene where the deer takes his hands out, i shit u not one night I started crying cuz there was a deer in my backyard

Finn had to fight literal gods, and yet the creator said that the deer was his most difficult opponent.

The fact that even peppermint butler was not strong enough to kill the deer is also frightening af

The scariest part was that the deer made no noise

I never thought about how jake didn’t want Finn to look for the people because he didn’t want to see the deer again. That had me shook

The creepiest part for me is how the deer’s eyes are in the front of its head which implies that it’s a predator which also means it isn’t a deer, instead it’s a predatory deer mimic

The episode that scared me the most was the one where ice king dressed up as a horse and just stared at Finn and Jake lmao

What freaked me out was that this one didn’t really have an ending, the weird ass deer just got flushed away, still alive, no explanation

Fun Fact: The deer, known officially as Stag, according to the Adventure Time DVD commentary, did survive the end of this episode. But he was turned into a telescope by Magic Man at the beginning of the episode "Son of Mars". He remained a telescope until Magic Man's power was superseded by Bonnibel Bubblegum's magic as a pure candy elemental. After the events of "Skyhooks II" he was turned back to normal when Lumpy Space Princess reset the Land of Ooo. He now presumably remains at large.

"It's just another goofy episode filled with silly jokes for kids."

The deer has no ears, has human eyes, all its hooves and "hooves" look like cups, it effortlessly breaks bones and runs away, and it survives having its neck snapped like nothing happened. I feel like it comes from a long ancestry of mutated deer from the beginning of Ooo, meaning that theres likely a whole family of these things running around Either that, or its been alive since Ooo formed, as it seems impossible to kill.

This whole episode was like a creepypasta story you find online. Only except this had a good ending to it.

The episode is called “No one can hear you”. Jesus Christ

Fun fact: It's canon the deer survives but was turned into a telescope by magic man. When magic man lost his powers and become normal man the deer could of transformed back.

Well candy people actually aren’t the most intelligent species in the ooo so they would of easily believed jake and go on with their lives pretty normally

This episode was scary enough, *Then the hooves came off*

Deer: Reveals hands My Brain: Brilliant! I can make so many nightmares outta this bad boy.

I think the scary thing about the hands is that it implies the deer really isn't normal, like it's some whole other nightmare in disguise.

This deer managed to break Finn's legs and knock him unconscious for a long time, injure Jake's head and traumatise him, and capture the entire candy kingdom. And all of these in just 1 episode. If this deer killed Finn while he was asleep the show would be over. That is really disturbing to consider how easy this deer could have ended the show alone lol.

The scariest part about this episode is that Finn and Jake are the *only* defense against these kind of things. Nobody else would really happen upon mass kidnappings. A whole 6 months passed.

Adventure Time as a whole was a nightmare-fueled wasteland masquerading as a happy, brightly-colored fun time, honestly

“It’s just a deer don’t think too much about it” amazing. You have somehow made it even more unsettling.

Just imagine being that last person and having a walking deer with fingers come and attack you. Just one second there was no one then they turn and the deer is just there. That's be such a heartdropping feeling

"It's just a deer. Don't think too much about it." Yeah, it's just an average normal nefarious finger-wiggling deer. Nothing to worry about, really.

Everyone agrees that one of,if not the *THE* creepiest part. T h e H a n d s.

this episode : **exists** everyone : *"so anyway, i started theorizing-"*

Everyone’s gangsta until the deer takes off his hooves😂

I can’t believe it’s been 9 years since this episode was first released

F I N N S E Y E S They were so disturbing that they had to censor them

I can ruin your night in a few words The creators confirmed the deer was still alive...

We're also gonna ignore the fact princess bubblegum said "the deer wanted my sugar but I didnt give him any, if you know what I mean"

Me at kid: "just a normal episode" Me at teen: "the heck am i watching..."

The worst part about it was that this was ask from finn’s perspective, where everyone in the town is mysteriously gone, you have no idea what happened in the 6 months, your only best friend had gone insane, and you want to go and do something about the strange sounds coming from the sewers but your legs are broken so you’re completely helpless

Sees “Adventure Time’s deer episode” *All the Terraria warnings proceed to happen at once* (a horrible chill runs down your spine, the air is getting colder around you, etc)

That "no one can hear you" with the nurse in a ghost town alone with a insane man while you're trying to save the only person who can save you and your loved ones gave me chills

What bothered me was Jake going mental and the part saying he had been waiting for months for a surprise birthday. Also I think the candy people stuck to the wall was a horror movie reference, but I’m not sure

For me it makes me annoyed that this episode was never explained or reference ever again. This was one of the more creepy episode but nothing comes after that. Wtf is this stupid ass comment I made

The episode also implies that the deer outsmarted Bubblegum, thwarted Peppermint Butler’s dark magic stuff and bypassed the Gumball Guardians in order to kidnap everyone, and apparently did it so sneakily and efficiently that nobody could build up some armed resistance against it.

this episode is literally a lost episode but wearing a fun colorful mask

"it's just a deer, don't think about it" I'll stop thinking about it when I see if other deer in that world have the same hands

I can’t believe he didn’t talk about the part where pinces bubblegum insinuates the deer tried to R ape them at the end of the episode

The most horrifying thing is that in elements when LSP turns everybody back to normal you can see *the deer* being reverted back to normal The fact that *thing* survived it’s necked being crushed horrifies me

When I saw the deer remove his hooves, I laughed, I actually laughed. I never felt fear in this episode. I was only 6 that time. Watching this at 15 makes me scared now. I guess innocence makes us fearless

Honestly, it just seems fucked up when you realize the deer just has their neck broken abruptly at the end, and then its just rolled into the drain. The reason that's creepy is because not only is it easy to assume it's a death, but it's a meaningless one. Obviously there was reason to kill the deer, but the focus of the story is on the trauma this creature caused, not the creature itself. And it's death is... realistically blunt. We still know nothing about the deer except what it can cause. We know it isn't normal, but from that episode alone. We cant even be sure it's dead.

In my opinion, the creepiest part is "He wanted my sugar but I didn't give him any, if you know what I mean."

Theory : the deer is the same deer Simon freezes in “Simon & Marcy” and the deer went crazy, so after it was unfrozen from the sun eventually it just became a lunatic

Plot twist : he didn't want us to know the true identity of the deer because he's the deer

The REAL scary episode is the one with the nurse clowns that kisses your boo boos.

Everybody flipping out over this episode but no one's talking about the forced pole dancing episode

This was definitely one of the more disturbing episodes that stuck with me as a kid, and the fact that none of it is ever explained freaks me out more. As a kid I always thought the deer would come back somehow, but he never did.

The creepiest part is the fact that he has eyes in the front of his head and means he’s a predatory animal mimicking a deer.

Adventure time has the same energy as twilight zone, as in sometimes there’s no moral at all, it’s just “wow, wouldn’t it be absolutely fucked if that happened?”

How is no one talking bout th music, it gives such a weird eerie feel making it so much scarier

This feels like one of those "lost episodes" but we all saw it

This deer just. It always gave me the willies. This episode in particular always feels like a fever dream, or something a fan wrote up, cause it feels like a creepypasta gone wrong. It feels like the one Creepy Pasta i watched where finn and jake got caught by Ice King and got locked away, and they wasted away a while before eating each other and eventually dieing, before the episode ended with something like ‘We’re working on an error, brb’ essentially. Feels like its on a similar beat of fucked up

Everyone is saying that the deer's hands were the creepiest part, but honestly I think it's the name of the episode

The true horror of this episode is the feeling of helplessness in this, Finn is stuck watching jake fall deeper into madness, he knows something is wrong but what can he do? Until the climax of the episode, he’s stuck

1:42 THE FACT THAT HE IS FRONT FACING THOUGH

The fact that we know more about the lich than the deer is terrifying

Broken legs don’t take 6 months to heal. Jake asks how his legs are at the end and he responds ‘still broken.’ Couldn’t have been over 6-8 weeks

This is very creepy and disturbing because what if you were a candy person and walking around the kingdom and jake tells u to meet him here and u see a deer looking at you and stands up and grabs you.

The things that scared me the most in this episode were how the deer crushed Finn's legs, the six months gap, the title of the episode, Jake's childish attitude with the puppets and balloons *AND THE EYES*

The deer is so OP that it even managed to capture Peppermint Butler

The most disturbing part was when the deer broke finn's legs idk this kind of stuff really scare me

The fact that this episode didn’t really have that much jokes or comedy elements is really scary, because Adventure Time is kinda known for having lots of comedic moments

This episode, and the deer specifically, terrifies me on like a spiritual level. I have NEVER and I mean NEVER been as scared as I was/am when I see/think about this deer. Keep in mind that I am (almost) 18, I binged adventure time for the first time recently (Dec 2020-Jan 2021) so I saw it for the first time a few weeks ago, and that I LOVE horror movies. I watch one at least once a week and I absolutely adore them. I have seen all the movies people report to be the scariest, most thrilling, and bone-chilling pieces of cinema. I have seen too many suspense/thriller/horror movies to count, and I have NEVER gotten scared (like I jump at jump scares occasionally, but that's about it, and even then I don't jump too often). BUT THIS DEER SCARES THE EVER-LOVING SH*T OUT OF ME!! I've been trying to find/watch analysis videos on this episode because I love film/media analysis so I thought it would make me feel better (it has a little bit, but when I see those deer hands I just-). FUN FACT: The creators said that the 2 cinder blocks and the sewer flushing were NOT ENOUGH to kill this deer. They said he has recovered and still exists somewhere in Ooo. Have fun sleeping with that little tidbit, I know I do.

I like to imagine the deer is the one frozen by Simon 1000 years ago, preserved in the ice and slowly being transformed by the radiation.

Dude you absolutely need to talk about that weird af episode where Finn get transformed into a giant feet by the Magic Man

what about that one episode where jake got poisoned and almost died to a tiny cat?

The more I look back at this show the more I realize that it is literally cosmic horror

Tbh watching that episode gave a liitle frightening emptiness at the end where they just threw the deer and cheered, *that deer deserved to be boiled in the fire kingdom*

But honestly wasn’t “The Creeps” episode nearly as creepy as this one? I mean, to be honest the whole deer thing was most likely the cause of the Mushroom war and how animals were probably affected by the nuclear bombs, which caused the deer to be more human-like. While in “the creeps”, there is a creepy ass house their staying it, completely unexplained as to who made it and why it’s there... the fact that Shoko was seen in the episode is very creepy, and it’s still unexplained how Finn is able to keep seeing his past life.

No one: The Deer: *f i n g e r s*

i like how we all found this episode universally horrifying as children

The Deer is one of Golb's scholars

I love how Finn just gets merked by a deer

In a strange way the earlier episodes are darker then the newer ones

The fact the deer casually took it's hooves off and there's HANDS. This program is messed up how did I not notice this when I was younger.

for me i feel like who ever directed that show at that time tried to meddle with the fear of the unknown, and it worked flawlessly for adults and children

Jake trying to abduct Finn is so unsettling it's like watching a different person using his body.

Most disturbing A.T. tier list: 1. Billy/litch lore 2. Finn becoming the ice king in alternate universe in "finn the human" 3. "The comet" where Finn is met with a choice of living forever or staying on earth. (His dad takes the deal and leaves him) 4. Ice king(simon) and marceline backstory 5. When Finn lost his arm 6. "The vault"ghost lady who turned out to be Shoko. (Shoko is Finn from a past life) 7. "Egress" in which Finn cannot find his way out of a dungeon without his eyes closed. 8. "Infinity train" where on finns birthday, they go on an infinity train where Finn almost spent the rest of eternity. 9. "Recardio" he's just a creep.

The scariest character in adventure time is the deer but the scariest thing about the deer is the deer is not a deer

I love this episode when I was a kid

you know what's a more disturbing episode? the episode with the mini versions of themselves

Finn is a heavily abused and mistreated character in this series: seperated from parents later abandoned by dad, sexually assaulted/abused more than once, injured/physically abused almost daily. Among a lot more

this feels like a lost episode

When the bugs crawl out of Jakes ears and scurry all over his body

broken legs usually take 4 - 6 weeks to heal, and with finn receiving two huge breaks in each his legs like that, I'm sure the 6 months isn't accurate, but it'd be more like 2 - 3 months, probably.

Jake: their hiding Finn: from what? Jake: ......FROM ME

“It’s just a deer don’t worry about” That thing broke Finns legs twice, had human like hands and used it’s saliva to stick the Candy People like flies in a spider web THAT IS NOT A DEER

The way they handled the sounds in this episode scared me at night despite the visuals looking bright

real question: what was the deer actually planing for the candy people?

The scene at the sewers looks kinda like "It".

I remember that when I was a child I watched this uncensored on TV and I was not able to sleep. It was too scary. It still is

This is probably the episode that marked me the most. It's just so unsettling and dark for what was supposed to be a kid's show. Not to mention that, like, wtf was with that deer?

_"It's just a deer. Don't think too much about it."_ *Princess Bubblegum:* Thank you for saving my kingdom, boys. The deer wanted our sugar, but I didn't give him any, if you know what I mean. 😉 Was that an innuendo?

I remember watching this episode when it premiered, how many years have passed since then? Wow... time flies

I don't think there is a single piece of fiction that's even comparable to this one episode It's just... So unsettling and depraved in such a weird way

i get more shivers when a person talks about the episode than the actual episode itself
