A Bag of Eyeballs

I'm always watching a seemingly random order of television episodes pulled from different genres. Netflix makes it very easy. Also hulu, crackle and of course YouTube (the original gangsta).

I had already watched all of 'Workaholics' before Saturday night, but some episodes slipped from my memory. I decided to revisit Season 3's Episode 4: "To Kill a Chupacabraj". At one point, when the main trio are trying to intimidate their hostage, they pull the old 'blindfolded grape eyeballs in a bag trick'. But since this is a comedy, they use a clear plastic bag and forget to blindfold the guy. This episode was originally released on June 19, 2012.


A couple hours pass and I've watched other shows and movies.

There's an animated series that I've been hearing about/seeing on t-shirts for a while now. Cartoon Network's 'Adventure Time'. The first season was recently added to netflix so I decided to give it a chance. I randomly chose an episode. Episode 11: "Wizard", for obvious reasons (wizards are awesome). This one premiered on May 10, 2010. The two main characters are training with a frog/sentient sperm swarm sorcerer to become full fledged wizards. One of the tests just so happens to be the old 'blindfolded grape eyeballs in a bag trick'.



In my opinion, these were two completely random episodes to choose to watch in such tight proximity of one another.  Plus the episodes weren't even halloween themed or shown originally in October.

Also I'd like to note that I was pleased that the hype around 'Adventure Time' didn't disappoint. The show is pretty cool.

So what does this mean (if anything)? 
Are my eyeballs in danger?
Is there something I should be looking at?
Am I focused on something I shouldn't be?
OR
Am I seeing things the way they should be seen?
