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, the Ice King (voiced by Tom Kenny) creates a computer virus to delete everything in Ooo except him and Princess Bubblegum (voiced by Hynden Walch). Finn and Jake try to remove the virus before it can glitch out the universe.
"A Glitch Is a Glitch" is the second episode to feature CGI, the first being "Guardians of Sunshine". "A Glitch is a Glitch" is the only episode in the series to feature no 2D animation at all. Pendleton Ward, the show's creator, was a fan of OReilly's short films and decided to let him create his very own episode. The episode was seen by 2.004 million viewers, and received largely positive critical feedback.
