The Hard Easy (Adventure Time)

"The Hard Easy" is the twenty-third 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 October 1, 2012. The episode guest stars Brian Doyle-Murray as Prince Huge and Jonathan Katz as the Mudscamp elder.

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, a group of Mudscamps asks Finn and Jake to protect them from the Mega Frog, their predator. Finn eventually learns that the Mega Frog is actually a cursed prince, and only a kiss can break the spell.

Katz originally was supposed to have appeared in the third season episode "The New Frontier", but scheduling conflicts resulted in him being unable to voice a character for the show until this episode. "The Hard Easy", which was advertised as the 100th episode of the series, was viewed by 2.643 million viewers, and received largely positive reviews from television critics.
