It's really just a creepy scene at first but what we learn about golb later makes it horrifying, likely what it was is Puhoy was born out of finn's desire for his relationship with flame princess to work out, since finn was that worlds source then when he dies in that world there's no longer a reason for that world to exist so golb comes to devour it.

That's why finn forgets it seconds after returning to the real world, every trace that that world ever existed was erased and it's only memory is finn about to tell jake about a dream he had.

[gengargamer]

The idea of Golb destroying the pillow world and making Finn forget would make sense. Golb’s destruction powers are seemingly very strong, as when Golb eliminated Magic Man’s wife, even Prismo could not bring her back.

[kaizer]

a note: Jake throws away his favorite mug to illustrate the idea of impermanence. however, he then fishes the mug out of the knife storm because he wanted it back. even if something is gone, the idea it can be regained can become a drive. we do have a degree of control, if we allow ourselves to make the effort

[robertcollins]

3:09 The reason pillow world isnt a kingdom is because Rosalinen would have been called 'Pillow Princess' lol. There is no way this was not the original idea.

[vinny]

I love how if Golb did erase that reality to him seeing this old man survive that, then fly towards him bounce off his tongue flip around him and fly away was definitely a 1st which makes sense why he turned in confusion.

[Changed.User]

The idea of living an entire life in another world and forgetting it in an instant is truly terrifying.

[BLVGamingY]

i refuse to believe that golb has motives and reason to support his actions, i think this is finn escaping death by the skin of his teeth, because golb destroys yet another universe.

[samroe]

Puhoy is a reference to the Star Trek TNG episode The Inner Light. In that episode Captain Picard goes on a similar journey to that of Finn where he starts a family in an imaginary world. In fact Jonathan Frakes, who plays Riker in TNG is the voice of adult Finn in this episode

[O-Council]

It''s not the fact finn was able to bounce off Golb's tongue unharmed that is terrifying, the really terrifying thing is that GOLB ACKNOWLEDGED HIM AND TURNED AROUND. Sure anyone can interact with a primordial evil and survive, but to have one actively acknowledge you and survive, fucking nuts,

[aggiemoon]

I had so much existential anxiety as a kid and this episode was so scarring to me as a kid because it realized my worst fear: life moving too fast for me to notice anything or live before it's over.

[DillonMeyer]

Pretty sure Golb just normally exists outside of reality and dreams, so when Finn died in his dream but still lived in reality, he had to pass through the same place as Golb to get to his real body. His dream would have ended and no longer existed, so there's nothing there to go back to.

Basically Finn temporarily entered the seam between reality and unreality.

[mikelake]

8:57 not the most terrifying the most terrifying is that episode finn found his dead body under his tree house or those imaginary apparitons

[Casual-Yohoho-Enjoyer]

I could believe either way till the last moment. A dream that spanned the entire lifetime? Yeah, seen weirder things in Adventure Time, it could definitely be just a dream. But you don't just see the embodiment of all chaos, destruction, change and decay when dying in a dream. That's too bizarre of a sight to not be real. It all happened. Don't know what happened exactly but it did

[ccayco]

I once went to the hospital and was given a heavy dose of fentanyl. While under, I felt like I was I lived for a very long time with some people who I considered friends. Then when I came to, I realized I was still in the hospital, confused as hell, and had a rush of intense sadness over me as I realized that my friends who I spent so much time with were gone. It made me question what real was, since I still have very vivid and near tangible memories with things that I guess never existed. And I did live the passage of time while under, becoming far older in there than I was when I woke up.

When I finally did a rewatch of Adventure Time and finished this episode, I was terrified because it brought back a lot of that sadness because it was basically a reminder of a lifetime that didn't happen and that I'll never get back, and worse - something I'll probably eventually forget.

Anyways, pillows are fun.

[antonifugueroa]

This episode kinda traumatized me, ive had dreams where I wake up and fear that I will forget just for me to wake up and not remember a thing. Its exactly like this episode that's why this episode was haunting

[dissonanceparadiddle]

Considering golb wasn't at the pillow world. I think it's more as finn went from pillow world back to his home universe he met a being outside of universes. Golb was probably shown to be surprised Finn was somewhere where no one should ever exist. I don't view golb as evil. I view him as the embodiment of entropy. The reason things went bad when he was summoned is because he's NEVER supposed to be in a universe. I'm curious though how he ranks with prismo and his boss

[lilibane]

I had a dream where I lived 50 years as a pirate captain with my crew being akin to family...
when I woke up I started crying.

[AngryNerdBird]

4:38 I always got the impression that this moment is a combination of his last memory of Jake and his own inner monologue thinking about this memory.

It was the show's way of fitting his own self doubt into the narrative without making the episode run too long. Short length shows like this have to get creative to fit everything they can into an episode.

[SleepyCipher]

Huh, I thought it implied the pillow world was real and that Golb was there because he was about to destroy it.
