Just finished Adventure Time for the first time. Finn's loss of his arm trying to connect with his selfish father and its replacement with a demon-laden version of himself followed by cold metal is a rich examination of the dehumanizing reduction of man to utility expanded upon by almost every other character (but particularly his disembodied mother). That said, Jake was totally his cure for male loneliness.

So either a cool robot arm or a cool magic dog

Great, now you are ready to watch Distant Lands and then Fionna and Cake!

Jake is also a terrible father

Some of the analyses of Adventure Time I've seen make me tempted to try to get past the voice acting and give it a shot.

You realize that John DiMaggio (most famous for voicing the Scotsman in Samurai Jack and Master Shake('s muscles) in Aqua Teen Hunger Force, but has also done some other notable roles such as Elzar on Futurama or Bender on Futurama and apparently like half of the shows that involve voice acting out there) voices Jake as well as Banana guards 1 and 2!?

That doesn't stop the voices from being annoyingly high and children's tv coded. I've only seen a little bit of the show, but for me that's an obstacle.

I may try to muddle through and see if I can stand it.

Huh, here I was thinking it was a reference to masturbation. And how evil it is.
