This quote from NEPTR (The Never Ending Pie Throwing Robot) made me sad and touched in a very deep way and made me realize that Adventure Time isn't just a kids show:
"Creator, I am eager to commence the creation and propulsion of pies forever, but my pie-hucking appendage is... malfunctioning, and my oven lamp is cold, and my tank treads do not roll! They only do skids! Why, creator? Does it please you to watch me struggle?"
The line is a joke but the delivery just makes me feel a deep existential angst.
I'd also add that NEPTR does not know that he was created somewhat accidentally by an unskilled creator and that his intended body plan did not become realized. Both points that are also quite tragic and close to home for some cosmologies.
