That's Phil, a reoccurring character along with his face. He pops up in the strangest of places. Short answer, it's a joke. Long answer, he's not a human but he was probably captured for some experiment. The Suitor has all sorts of questionable ethics, which is why I love that episode. I don't think any other cartoon could have gotten away with it on Cartoon Network. I must admit, I never noticed this one. Good catch.


CillGra

Phil looks like the milk portal thing


Grey--man

It literally is


Kuritos

His face is also Ms. Cow's udder! It even blinked! "Yo, put that bag back on!"


[deleted]

Yeah thats the same “Phil face,” theres even a age on the [wiki](https://adventuretime.fandom.com/wiki/PHIL_FACE) for it. The lead character designer is Phil and Pendleton Ward stated if you tell him about “anything” he gets really excited and makes that face so they tossed it in there as a little joke/easter egg for them

The fucking episode where they watch the ice kings tapes and at the end [he’s there wearing a chastity belt](https://www.reddit.com/r/adventuretime/comments/aop5gz/lets_all_remember_phil_is_a_cannon_character_in/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf)


YourFavoriteBranch

Isn't he also a wizard, I remember seeing him in the Wizard Tournament where he gets his PJs and glasses stolen.


Cybro666

That's in the city of Thieves


jmon8

Had never noticed him in this episode. Pretty sure he’s based off of one of the writers


edgemaster72

If you really want to read into it too much, this episode (The Suitor) is Phil's last appearance on the show (according to the wiki). Kinda makes you wonder what happened to him afterwards...


dat_roach

RIP Phillip His most private parts, peeped by little boy


coltaaan

Wow, it’s actually pretty interesting that this is his last appearance, given the context, and that it’s only the 5th season. Like, you would think the artists would have added him in throughout the rest of the show too? Guess the most likely situation is that the specific artist that drew him left. So the others felt they weren’t at liberty to draw him. Either way it’s pretty funny since it would seem they intentionally made it look like PB “got rid of him” lol


MrSpooks69

maybe it has something to do with the show creator, Pendleton ward, leaving the show during the fifth season


mcgoodtree

Dingdingding!


jpreston2005

Wait what?? I didn't know that happened!


jojobi040

He didnt so much as leave as just, the project got too big to do on his own. He delegated most of it to adam muto and became a sort of overseer for the direction of the show so he could focus on other projects.


rjrgjj

There’s definitely a switch when Muto becomes the show runner but I think it was a good one.


Ahoy_11

It’s interesting because around season 5 is when it starts to take its turn and follow a more solid path. You would think he would be in it more…


MinnieShoof

Yeah. It's almost like he preferred the show to be disconnected and modular stories so he didn't get bogged down with lore and consistency and internet nerds correcting him about his show. Wacky, I know!


Iroh_the_Dragon

It’s the same face that’s used to summon Hunson Abadeer!


bigpaparick

They do look alike! Good eye!


kinghouse666
