"Bad Timing" is the forty-ninth episode from the fifth season of Adventure Time, an animated television series. It was written by Pendleton Ward, who created the show, and Kent Osborne, its head of story from a story they developed along with Jack Pendarvis and the current showrunner, Adam Muto. In the episode, Lumpy Space Princess falls in love with a former mate (Mark Proksch) from secondary school. When she suspects she has lost her date to Princess Bubblegum, she attempts to wield time travel to win back his affections.
Visually unique to this episode, it comprises two frames: a circular inner frame holds the main story, while the outer margins carry small creatures. The writers likened the story to revisiting a former high school peer who was, at the time, unnoticeable. Originally aired on March 3, 2014, this broadcast was seen by more than one million viewers. Writers of entertainment-related publications praised the episode for its depth of mood and visuals. The New Yorker critic Emily Nussbaum, in particular, saw it as establishing Lumpy's intricacy as a character, and Eric Kohn in IndieWire called the episode the pièce de résistance of the show.
