Pendleton Ward, the show's creator, was a fan of OReilly's short films and decided to let him create his very own episode.
As Finn and Jake are drawing a picture of Ice King on their computer, a brick with a floppy disk taped to it flies in through their window.
Meanwhile, in the Candy Kingdom, the Ice King appears and discusses with Princess Bubblegum a purported statement she made about going on a date with him if he was the last person in Ooo.
Finn and Jake arrive and Ice King tells them that he created the virus so that, indeed, he will be the last person around, which will force Bubblegum to go on a date with him.
They find the virus, a grotesque digital likeness of Ice King's head, eating pieces of source code, which in turn deletes reality.
OReilly found that mixing his trademark glitch style with good character animation was difficult, and presented a lot of technical hurdles.
In particular, he found a scene in the end, wherein an earlier clip is superimposed above Finn and Jake to function almost as a thought bubble, to be easy to storyboard, but difficult to animate.
There were originally plans for OReilly to craft a completely different intro that Flying Lotus would score, so he sent over some tracks during production.
Club gave the entry a "B+", saying that "[The episode] falls on the far end of the weird spectrum, which is saying something with a show as odd as Adventure Time.
[6] Sava later wrote that while "Adventure Time's most experimental episode isn’t a full-fledged triumph, David OReilly’s completely 3-D animated installment reveals just how far outside the box this series is willing to go.
