Talk about being thrown for a loop. You just never know what you're going to get on this show. This is the kind of episode the average Toon Zone reader dreams of, truly. The question is, will anyone else feel the same? Objectively, would it be as great if you didn't care about all the cameos?

Going by that judgment, I'd say.....it was still good. Cartman actually owning Kyle, Michael Bay, the return of Gibson, well-done cliffhanger...it's a good mix of ingredients, with or without Gizmo from Gremlins (he was there too).

Suppose the first visitor from the dark side of Imaginationland is the smoke monster from Lost?
 
There's A New Episode Of South Park Tonight At 10:00PM. I'll "imagine" You have a lot to say about this one. Why? Cause it's "Imaginationland" aka...

SOUTH PARK EPISODE 163 TALKBACK

"IMAGINATIONLAND" SYNOPSIS:
"Finding Cartman's leprechaun is just the tip of the iceberg when the boys are about to have the entire contents of the world's imagination laid before them. The boys realize that what they know has become a valuable commodity to the U. S. government. Meanwhile, Butters is about to become collateral damage."

This sounds like an enjoyable boys episode. (As in one that stars not only the four kids but also the rest of they're classmates). Hope people aren't as "love/hate" about it like last week's "More Crap"

Well that's it. Enjoy Everyone!
 
Looks like the list of inhabitants has been removed by people on Wikipedia who seem to think they have a higher authority than everyone else and consider the list "irrelevant". :P
 
What I predict will come from behind the wall:

Family Guy - Not my personal opinion. I'm putting myself in the mind of the creators.

Toon porn/hentai

Joe Camel - They parodied Joe Camel's marketing to children before, in that coffee house episode.

Chick tracts

Bratz - The creators clearly have a strong dislike for Bratz, seeing as the Stupid Spoiled Whore Playset is loosely based on Bratz.

That animated segment in the film Bowling for Columbine - The creators were really mad at Michael Moore when he claimed that that segment was made by the South Park animation team.
 
A lot of these characters were created in other countries besides the United States. Attacking the forign characters, they are not hurting american at all. Are they?

The Anime characters, that is an attack on the far east, and of course when they had the head of a care bear. The care bears were created by a greeting card company in Cleveland, but it was because of the imagination and creative of candains that they became big. So when they had that care bear head, that was a symbol of Canada imagination, so ha ha the joke is on them.
 
Man, someone needs to screencap this. There are way too many little easter eggs.

Brown Hornet, TMNT, Fosters Friends, Pac-Man, Orko, Totoro.
 
I can't wait for Imagination Part 2 next week when:
Butters could be rescued.
Cartman finds Kyle or Stan
We see what's behind the wall (maybe all the little known toons like Get Along Gang and Tiny Toons, or maybe cartoon villians, or who knows?)

Michael Bay? I thought it was Rachel Ray!

Also: I hope the Part 2 of South Park's Imagination does not start off with a Terrance and Phillip Show segment like it started off last year's Cartoon Wars Part 2 episode.
 
I'd be surprised if they really did reveal Adult Swim characters... not only because it's not something mass culture like they usually do, but it's also weird that they would do it seeing as how Trey sang a theme song for one of their shows (Saul of the Molemen). So I doubt it'll be that, but who knows, they probably don't even know, I couldn't spot any shapes in the dust clouds.

And also, I hate to pick fights, but to whoever said AS is unoriginal, shut up. You don't know what you're talking about. At all.

Fine episode last night, South Park. Good show, I hated to see it end because I wanted more (these things just speed by!).

A

I thought the terrorist angle was funny but I'm not going to hide that when the leprechaun said that there was a terrorist threat that I rolled my eyes.
 
All of the sudden, I was watching "Drawn Together". :anime: Yes, I, too, was surprised at seeing all these copyrighted characters collected in one place. At first I wondered about copyright problems, but then again "Drawn Together" does this all the time. I had a great time spotting characters, and it was bizarre fun to see Ronald McDonald, Totoro, and Cinderella all put together. And curiously enough I actually cared for these familiar characters a little bit: when the terrorists attacked I actually felt a little sad.

We can speculate a lot about what Trey and Matt are getting at.:

At first I thought this was a reference to how fundamentalist Muslims seemed to be always attacking free expression, such as the Mohammed drawings. The Taliban used to destroy paintings and statues. So it make sense for al-Qaeda hardliners to want to destroy products of imagination.

OTOH, that general kept saying, "Terrorists have taken over our imagination". That sounds familiar, but I don't know where I've heard that. Maybe it refers to being held in fear by terrorists?

I think the "bad stuff" on the other side of that wall are racist caricatures, gross jokes, sick sexual fantasies, offensive stuff. But Trey and Matt have always insisted on as much freedom of expression as possible. I'd think they'd frown on walling up a part of the Imaginationland as "bad". So I think they're going to find "offensive" characters on the other side of the wall, but then everyone's going to learn that it was wrong to wall up "bad" ideas and everyone will have a more open imagination instead, pissing off the closed minded terrorists.

The character list is back up at Wikipedia. But there are so many characters that I really doubt that list was complete. I think Trey and Matt themselves will have to publish their list so that everyone can get spotted. Weren't all the Super Best Friends in ImaginationLand, not just Buddha ( I thought there was a lot of evidence that Siddharta Gautama really lived )? And was Rockety Rocket a pre-existing character? Hmm, if you saw the "Drawn Together" season premiere you'll know it has NOT been a good few weeks for the Care Bears. :D I hope Disney doesn't mind Cinderella's ah, prominent role in the story. :p

I didn't like the Cartman subplot, though. I got fed up with him very quickly. It was too bad that he wasn't with the other kids during the attacks. ( BTW: Don't the other kids remember the attacks, too? Not just Stan and Kyle? And why didn't the Army take Cartman along? Wasn't he Butters's friend, too? )

And where the ---- is Kenny?! Maybe in Part 2, Kenny will save everything. :)
 
I KNEW something horrific would happen once the cute characters started showing up. It was the same feeling I got during 'A Woodland Critter Christmas'. Poor Butters...
