[xxsilentxxheroxx]

You sing so awesome :) and i will forever love adventure time

[agent00redneck]

Dude. Your beard is awesome.

[TheMoistTwinkie]

I think part of what makes your show so awesome is that there's actually emotion in it. Lots of cartoons nowadays don't have any feeling, and that's why they'll never reach their full potential, but Adventure Time connects to me in a lot of ways. Thanks for making such a great show

[seanziess]

I watch your show every chance it get it's a great show, what is the significance of "8.13.21" ?!?!?!?!?

[kendallov]

[scotlandcow]

[scotlandcow]

@scotlandcow your*



[Co0kiem0nster01]

Definately one of the greatest cartoons ever made!

[Vekktoria]

Man that was so not boring that was awesome! Lol I need friends like you you are one real guy. The shows the best, you know how people have favorite bands and artists and stuff? So my favorite band is NIN and my favorite show of all time will always will be Adventure Time. When I'm feeling down it brings me back up again. It's a very real show it has it's moments but it's funny, the show doesn't forget to laugh.

[varsaixx]

you kind of look like theamazingatheist.

[MRWILSON740]

Actually watch this cartoon open your eyes and mind it is a form of mind control

[jordantiste]

The voice of Lumpy Space Princess is one of the funniest things in television's history.

[FuzzyDude7]

Hey Pendleton,

I just want to let you know that you are my biggest inspiration and

I cannot wait until I get to plug life into my doodles so that

they can hang out with Finn and Jake. Keep on rockin'.

You're my idol.

I love you.

-Jake Kaplan (17 year old kid who likes to draw from nj)

[zorath4519]

Do you smoke? we all need to know this!



[CivilCJ]

"Fantastical cartoon world" = drugs, lots of drugs

[SoSaysAlfred]

I hope one day to have a beard as grand as yours!

[theCeilingWalker]

Man. What I' give to be one of those "funny people" that work on Adventure Time. You guys are creating something beautiful.

[XChildOfTheMermaidsX]

Wow. I dont know if youll ever see this Pen, but i love your show. You are one of the few people that have inspired me-i want to be something along the lines of author/show creator/storywriter when i grow up. I cant think of anything else to say except...thank you.

[terrornhubris]

Him and I*

[terrornhubris]

Mr. Ward, Thank you for creating this great show, I'm 35 and my 6 year old son was watching your show and I thought,"great, another old cartoon with the same old stuff." but this show has bonded him and in such a profound way that we don't miss an episode, it's funny,witty and a great cartoon. We laugh so much and I'll never forget these moments we have with each other. Thanks again and keep making them great!

[MrOnewiththecouch]

What a bad ass!

[PuddleOfShitInMyFace]

and pls NEVER change the intro :O

[PuddleOfShitInMyFace]

iam 25 and i LOVE ADVENTURE TIME. PLS dont let this end. its brilliant and stupid/cute at the same time

[ebilly99]

Mr Ward do you Identify with Fin or the ice king the most?

[DestroyerKitteh]

PLEASE DONT EVER LET ADVENTURE TIME END

[venomousfish]

i LIKE YOUR GLASSES.

[poopypantsoo1]

Im 16 and adventure time is the best show ever by the way only awesome dudes play music in interviews

[BeautyandHealthGuru]

Adventure time is the best bro! Keep on making it xD

[rejectcarp]

Ahh, the stoned animator. First cousin to the awkward tweaked out puppeteer. I love your work man.

[Pantonesara]

As seen on: Drugs.

FFFFFFFFFFFFFffu-

[mejorxz123]

Adventure Time is Epic!

[TheNightmoose]

Penn has a drumset? OMG hes the ice king!!!

[Themadness03080]

[WaterHead96]

You're original and unique. Dont' lose that.

Honestly, an 18 year old fan of cartoons.

:)

[MissRainbowMess]

Pendleton Ward. Adventure Time is probably gonna be the next Spongebob

[ajredpanda]

I just watched that kids theories on the mushroom war thing an if he's right the show is really deep

[ajredpanda]

Is adventure times setting really post- apocalyptic

[TheMoistTwinkie]

@ajredpanda Yep, at the very beginning of the intro before it flashes by the ice kingom, marcelene and all that stuff, youll see a dead tree with nukes around it

[remanuelmr]

Hello there Pendleton Ward ! Nice to meet you. You have made a pretty good show! And im planning to make a show too in a few years ,but i have a few questions . How did you made your show? Did you just made the whole show on your house and sent it to cartoon network? or did you just went to cartoon network and just told them your idea to them and they animated for you? How did you do it?

[elocrellim]

Not surprised at all that this guy created the show lol.



[imalwayswatchingu00]

Man you remind me of me, except I'm skinny and have no beard :P

We act the same :)

[MarcelPJPeloquin]

Love the show! It's funny, has continuity, and is something I can watched more than once. That's rare in a cartoon man. Good job!

[jacobe71]

I like your beard, it adds charactor

[JoeyStockton]

Dimethyltryptamine.

[shortbusoneohone]

@JoeyStockton Lies at the epitome of the very idea of adventure.

[gumbeh84]

love your work man

[EmanBloe]

He's awesome. All opposing arguments are invalid.

[fartingforfreedom]

@zio, go choke on your hatred, douchebag.

[japaneseloverk]

I couldnt even get pass the first minute because i was too distracted by his whole beard situation...and this is most definitely a compliment haha!

[BigGReynolds79]

Please shave

Women will sworm once u do

[dsquid]

@BigGReynolds79 "Swarm"

[HayaMikaChan]

I want to be an animator when I get older. And I can tell you this, Adventure Time is one of my inspirations. I hope someday to make an awesome cartoon like Adventure Time.

[Vaughan3715]

Dude a wicked hot chick saw my adventure time background on my phone tonight and we talked about the show for a while and ended up making out. Thanks man. Adventure time got me some make out action and a phone number

[JsBrbr88]

I'm a 23 year old man, and I love your show. If making it timeless was your aim, I believe it is fair to say you have succeeded utterly.

[tiland520]

;)

[DinoDude65]

Dear Mr. Ward,

You saved Cartoon Network. You an J.G. Quintel.

Thank you, - Grateful 17-year old.

[Trev0rHarringt0n]

@DinoDude65 I agree! Cartoon Network was drastically declining in actual entertaining material... Thank you Pen! :)

[HyperBlossom12345]

if this is the REAL creator of Adventure Time then can u tell me is there really a princess called Abortion Princess and if Finn ever marry a princess it will be Abortion Princess cuz i read it on adventure time wiki and i wanted to know cuz im a MarcelinexFinn Fan and can u create more fionna episodes where marshall have speaking lines plz?

[TheAxecaddy]

so... so... stoned...

[Trekkie626]

And he just starts playing the drums... nice!

[MrSimonskies]

Wtf this Guy is making cartoons. Cool lol

[gravelgravel2]

YOU AR EFUKIN MENTAL !LOL

[LIGHTRONIX]

hahaha who takes hot baths

[Smokesterr]

Btw he looks/act stoned.

[Smokesterr]

Greatest Mind Of All Time.

[69updowndownup]

this guys stoned lol.

[LeagueOfFriendship]

Cool guy!

[Diptardable]

Oh Adventure time was made by a stoner, lol i couldve never guessed.

[freshg00nie]

prolly smokes a lot , and does shrooms or sumthin, but that just makes him even cooler in my book . i fukn love adventure time and flapjack . keep doin wat ur doin !

[Antoni1242]

Love the show! And I enjoyed watching this!

[kholt1776]

pendleton ward is so awkward. you can tell he's just a humble dude who was thrust into the spotlight. i like that about him. i hate hollywood whores (in the figurative sense)

[IzUgartechea]

This guy does drugs. And trips hard off said drugs.

[redpaul79]

every time he makes that grotesque "tsk!" sound i want to vomit--but this guy is brilliant, i agree

[redpaul79]

fuckin weirdo

[freereg29]

1. Smoke weed

2. Become a cartoon creator

3. ????

4. Profit

[freereg29]

Dear awesome sir, please do make a Finn and Jake MMORPG. The RPG elements plus the Ooo Lore and all that is perfect for an Adventure Time MMORPG. Plus its being referenced everywhere (Skyrim, Terraria Wall of Flesh) and all that. Please hear me out here

[12814693]

Your extremly awkward creepy and maybe stoned but you are a fucking genius thanks for my high memories

[ZiotheZero]

@12814693 nothing genius here, just drugs and memes, but I guess any idiot would mistake this guy for a genius.

[CorvidDude]

@ZiotheZero

What do you think genius is made of? Drugs and Memes!

[zimonslot]

something's really, really, rrrreally off with this guy....

[GdDrThgHe]

Santa clause 0.0

[redjello720]

i found this quite easy to fap to

[Jackyclench]

your description... everything is true... you're getting the point across 110%

i just hope that kids today will be able to appreciate the show in the future... i feel like they're gonna be all fucked up from the trash on these days... i mean, cartoon network is basically "liveaction network"...

btw... are you the ice king...? like, is your real name simon? cause i was lookin at your beard, and then you're like, "i have drums..." and you went over to play them... and it was uncanny...

[sabiankid1]

this guy is stoned as fuck. blazed out of his mind

[landobjarnson]

Haha you rock bro great show

[greenfishy13]

Mr. Dude I love you o3o and your grizzle beard c: like a nerdy lumberjack :D

[elankrylon]

This dude is so high... lol

[RadRobertNG]

Mr. Ward, this cartoon is timeless, like the old episodes of Spongebob. Plus, you got Derek Dryman, who worked on Spongebob. I think youre doing a great job sir, and I solute you!

[KenlovesJ]

SO his character LSP sounds like the Kelly Likes shoes dude...

[Triciatly]

Why is this video not working!?!? The sounds okay though :-/

[CHEESEYBELL1]

Yeah what he's trying to say is that he's sniffing Cole while makin it

[stgodd]

why cant i find adventure time on dvd or blu ray in the uk anywhere? (Online shops or in stores)

[TheCakeIsALieGxG]

I love Adventure Time! Thank you so much for bringing this show into our lives. :D

[ABri591]

Your work is fantastic Pen, it really brings me up and you have good reason to be proud of that :D Take care x

[TacoPounders]

Love your show, Pendleton. It gives me hope for future generations. Any kid that appreciates this over Hannah Montana and Jonas Brothers, I love you.

[dmgdmg777]

Mr. Ward, you are my hero. I am an aspiring animator, and the only reason I think I can is because of you. Thank you.

[ilovebvbforeva12]

8:53 now i know why finn cant sing without autotune!! :) BUT I STILL LOVE THIS SHOW!!!! ITS MY FAVORITE ;D

[madelinesayshello]

@ilovebvbforeva12 because pen obviously does the voice for finn :/

[PuddleOfShitInMyFace]

@ilovebvbforeva12 hahahaha its best when he sings with autotune :DDD remember when he was a foot ? and jake "calm down fin" and fin "nooohoohooo jahaake ihiii will nooohot caAaallm dowohohon" hahahaha

[Kestroid]

Can you believe this guy is like 29 O.o

[aaustinnkerr]

ADD? 

[lilkenny00]

[madijaz]

*random topic *random topic *instrument *random topic *random topic *random topic *instrument *random topic *song

[Tenraiden]

I LOVE Adventure Time and everyone in it! but I did not expect Pendleton Ward to be fat and bearded

[VividlyEndless]

Cake the cat and fiona the human was also kick ass :D

[Lemileant]

this is wiggedy wiggedy whack

[milosmunze]

Adventure Time is made by Santa...?

[Theteller3]

@milosmunze of course, since there are so many kids these day santa dont have enuff time to deliver present to everyone so he made adventure time and left it at that

[Nodog438]

the shows on CN are now made by people taking acid trips. sad

[TokyoMystify]

@Nodog438 1/10, that's the best I can do for you.

[b0viefan]

this brave, bearded man, and creator of probably my favourite cartoon, was significantly high while making that video.

[yoursuchacunt]

were you high when you made it because when im high its way funnier :D but it funny period .  just saying

[HoboJIm117]

You should do an AMA, on this site called reddit.com.

It would be very interesting.

[AlwazACaliGirl]

That's why the ice king has drums XD

[XxcaptonfalconxX]

Algrabraic dude!

[InsightVidya]

haha he actually talks like LSP in real life

[delbertgrady]

ok so like i have this man playing drums on my computer now

[lambyiii]

Pen is strangely hot. I love his blue eyes and scruffy facial hair :>

[bluntobjct]

ok, now i know where the ice king was based on. :p

[rewindyourpants]

Mr. Ward, all I have to say is that you have fucking done it with this show. Fan Fucking Tastic sir.

[KaztenStudios]

@benwaight whenever i get bored i don't brag about myself

[benwaight]

this interview is boring... I HAVE A DRUMSET.

now I know, whenever things get boring, just lay out a sweet beat on the tubs.

[Taikina]

he looks like a gentle magical story telling grampa

[TheTrixters]

Looks like a young Santa Claus.

[boredtodeathstudios]

In the episode 'memory of a memory' you

see finn and jake meet up with young

marcaline (most likely around age 7-8) and in the backround you see a distroyed city

and even in an eariler episode 'go with me'

you see finn and marcaline watching a movie on a truck half in the ground is all the destroyed backround the result of a post

apocoliptic world causing monsters and vampires even finns friend jake to be magical ?!?!?!?!?!?

please respond

[bluntobjct]

@boredtodeathstudios yes.

[boredtodeathstudios]

@bluntobjct cool

[RemarkableMarky]

@boredtodeathstudios Yes. The Mushroom War,

[Zukken]

Pendleton looks like he gets super high.

[siduuuuh]

this guys a great singer

[wizard12112]

I can hear your beard scratch... good man

[bobcatstars]

I love adventure time more than anyone could ever love something so much!!!! My whole room is adventure time! No joke ;)

[nervousn1nja]

you need to make an adventure time album!!!!!!!

like if you agree that this is a mathematical idea

[emmyisadinosaur]

@nervousn1nja MATHEMATICAL! YEAH!

[C9R9D]

Dude your legitimately one of my favorite people haha

[emilyirish]

i love you.

[BootyBot]

wow this guy is crazy creative

[rastabrains1995]

Hes so hiiigggghhh i can tell ^.^

[scompieie]

have you ever thouhgt of moving the show to adult swim, you would have more freedom?

[Kevinlouis]

hush.....I aint gonna burn it.

[lozimia]

Did this guy create a ringtone creator app by any chance?

[theofficialDeFalco]

WHOA! Beautiful voice at the end. That came out of nowhere. Awesome!

[KatThePuppyGirl]

don't forget joshua and margeret!

[LadyGaGaLovers222]

Talk like her more!

[Zirooney]

Hahahaha, I don't always get what he is saying but I LOVE ADVENTURE TIME!!!What a ledge

[SpunjChan]

He reminds me of the ice king. :I

[pl0xman123]

Pendleton Ward is a darn hero for modern-day cartoons. I'm dead serious. I mean, look what poor kids has to grow up with today; Hannah Montana, Jonas Brothers and lots of other "educational" bad cartoons.

But then, along comes a show that brings back entertainment and humor in cartoons. I grew up with Ed, Ed 'n Eddy, Johnny Bravo, Louie & Co, Dexter's Laboratory all that good stuff, and seeing kids today grow up with Adventure Time fills me with hope that this generation might be safe after all.

[nickizzo5]

You look like Dumbledore. And that's a good thing.

[TeteateteMN]

I feel like pen would be a stranger I would witness a fight between a couple in public with, and he'd be like 'damn, mayne.' then walk away.

[NibTV1]

Adventure Time manages to capture the wonder of childhood, similar to Calvin and Hobbes but also deals with more mature issues.

[QBisbest]

This man is... beautiful..

[rigzroyalorder]

Love the episode where Jake was inside Finns pocket and turned over and farted right at the end!! Classic!!

[Desertbiker125]

This is going to sound crazy. With Adventure Time, you are writing my life. My best friend/roommate looks like Jake (He has big glasses that look like his eyes/had a mustache). We nicknamed our house Treehouse. We beatbox and rap randomly and completely weird beats. I'm in love with a girl that loves science. I love ninjas/sword fighting.... and justice. We play a grip load of instruments. We act insane and creepy for fun. All of this was true before I found out about the show. It's eery dude.

[Mrminico92]

You sir would make a GREAT addition at MM(Media molecue) The creators of little big planet. Your creativity has given me that ambient that media molecue gave me when i first laid eyes on little big plant 1 and 2.

[goatsru1]

you are awesome! your work is awesome! and I hope one day I get to work with you on something!! Keep it up!

[felloliettee]

He looks like a really nice and gentle person. Now I luv Adventure Time even more, 'cause I know that it was made by person with such a warm personality :)

[ThisIsMeYay79]

so i pitched it and they were like , WOO YAHHAAAA WOO YEH

[Chalibay415]

jazz drummer. dope.

[Mikeish101]

Fuck no man your interview was the fucken best! Me and all my friends love your show man. We're all 18 and its fucken the best thing we have ever seen.
