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 - The Snow Golem is voiced by the creator himself Pendleton Ward while the Fire Wolf pup is voiced by Dee Bradley Baker - While this is a Thanksgiving special episode Cartoon Network said that this episode was “Oscar-worthy" but it didn’t win any awards
Yea no I guess I wasn’t the only one creeped out by the weird Deer 🦌 😅 Edit: guess I never realised everyone mostly felt creeped out lol even the designers and storyboard artist were to😂
