Two imps who can only say "chips" and "ice cream" attach themselves to Jake's head.
Is there something screwy going on with Google Play?
Amazon instant doesn't have it up yet, either.

My brain keeps trying to figure out the deeper meaning of the episode, but I'm not sure there is one.

My brain keeps trying to figure out the deeper meaning
A father abandons his lesbian daughter only to discover he can't live without her, and when he tries to take her back she refuses and she and her girlfriend reject him and go to live on their own.
Alternatively, Morty Rogers could have killed his (adopted) candy daughter and her girlfriend, and becomes haunted by them. When he finally learns to accept their sexuality they remain resentful and leave him.
I got the feeling that they're a couple, since they're transferred together and the voices are both female. It's within the bounds of Adventure time to have an implied homosexual relationship. (PB&M)
Or maybe Morty Rogers accidentally ate some sentient candy people and got permanently haunted. It has as much meaning as we want to apply to it. I enjoyed it, it was a light episode with cute characters, I didn't care for Jermaine, he was too much of a downer.
Interesting note, for Adventure Time season 7 the first 8 episodes are titled "Stakes" (1-8), so it would seem we're getting a movie-length adventure time. My source is Wikipedia and their source is weak, so we'll have to wait and see.

Cartoon Network has already announced an upcoming Adventure Time Mini-Series, so that is probably what they're referring to.

Not sure if this counts as a deeper meaning but it seems like a classic sci-fi episode theme of the characters being bugged by what turns out to be sentient beings that just want to be free.

I wonder if the shot of Morty rising up from the ice cream was an homage to Apocalypse Now?

"To read deeply into art or any sort of cultural object is typically seen as insightful work, a la ‘the unexamined life isn’t worth living’ and all that, but “Chips and Ice Cream” argues that searching for subtext, searching for meaning, sometimes means ignoring what’s plainly in front of you. If you don’t understand what makes children laugh at Teletubbies, that doesn’t mean there isn’t anything there, it’s just been devalued in your eyes, and hence, invisible."

I'm not sure if I buy that. BMO was the one who saw value in their performance and saw meaning in what they were saying, and articulated it. Finn and Jake were the ones who brushed it off as not being there and were therefore utterly useless in this episode (which happens sometimes, I like that about them). If anything I would say the episode is about the importance of looking for meaning in what the people around you are saying.
