"BMO Noire" is the seventeenth episode of the fourth season of the American animated television series Adventure Time. The episode was written and storyboarded by Tom Herpich and Skyler Page, from a story by Patrick McHale, Kent Osborne, and Pendleton Ward. It originally aired on Cartoon Network on August 6, 2012. The episode guest stars Andy Milonakis as N.E.P.T.R.
The series follows the adventures of Finn (voiced by Jeremy Shada), a human boy, and his best friend and adoptive brother Jake (voiced by John DiMaggio), a dog with magical powers to change shape and grow and shrink at will. In this episode, animated to emulate the style of a crime noir film, BMO (voiced by Niki Yang) goes on the hunt for Finn's missing sock.
The episode is largely carried by the voice acting of Yang. Because so much of the dialogue was delivered by her, and she had to voice several different characters, Yang noted that she had trouble sleeping the day before she was scheduled to record. According to Nielsen ratings, the episode ranked as the number one telecast of the day among all boy demographics aged 2–11 and 6–11. The episode received largely positive reviews from critics, who particularly lauded Yang’s voice performance.
