butters learns he is the key to stopping the evil of Imaginationland; he is real, so he can use his imagination to beat the bad guys. elsewhere, kyle and stan are held captive in the pentagon until they tell the government how exactly they got in Imaginationland. the government then plans to destroy Imaginationland, with Butters (and Stan, who accidentally got knocked in) inside.
good part 2 to the trilogy. I did not like it as much as I did part one, but i did think it was interesting and made me want to see the conclusion. Grade- an Amoreless
Stan and Kyle are being held captive at the Pentagon until they tell the government exactly how they got into Imaginationland. Elsewhere…Cartman will not give up his quest to make Kyle follow through on their bet to suck his balls.

All Woodland Critters: Yay!
Minotaur: What evil imaginary characters are they?
Fishman: They were dreamt up by some fourth-grade kid as part of his Christmas story.
Squirrely: Now come on, y'all. We can't waste time arguing. There could still be survivors out there. We need to hunt them down, and kill them.
Rabbity: And eat their flesh!
Chippy: But first we should rape them!
Beary: How about we kill them, and then rape their bodies so we can use their blood as lubricant!
Squirrely: Say, that's a great idea Beary Bear!
All Woodland Critters: Yay!

Butters: Huh?
Mayor of Imaginationland: Hey! Wake up stupid! -
Kyle: Okay, fine, you know what? Let's just get it over with.
Cartman: Oh, no no no, not so fast Kyle. I've waited a long time for this I intend to savor each and every second.
Kyle: No, I'm serious- I want to see what's happening downstairs so let's just do it.
Cartman: Not just yet Kyle, there's still a few things that I need to do. By the way, I should tell you that I haven't had a chance to shower while making my way up here, my balls are extra vinegary.
Kyle: Just get to it already! -
General: Do you realize what's going on here? Terrorists have attacked our imagination and now our imaginations are running wild. You better start remembering!
Tom: It was the Chinese wasn't it?
Stan: What?
Tom: We have suspected that the Chinese government was working on a doorway to the imagination. Is that where you were?
Stan: No!
General: That's it isn't it. Where do the Chinese keep this portal? How does it work?
Tom: Is it better than ours?
Stan: Your what?
Tom: Our portal to the imagination built as a secret project back in 1962 to fight the soviets..
General: Ssssshhhh Tom! That's super secret!
Tom: Oohh I'm sorry sir..
Kyle: Wait, the US government has a portal to the imagination?
General: Ahhh.. see.. good job Tom! Why don't you just tell them everything about project X!?
Tom: Yes sir. We built a portal to the imagination to use against the Russians during the cold war but we never...
General: That was sarcasm! I was being sarcastic you f*cking idiot!
Tom: Oh geez. I'm really sorry sir.
Stan: If you already built a doorway to the imagination than why do you need us?
General: Alright, we might as well show it to them.... god dammit... -
Snarf: Oh boy, Snarf Snarf! My feet are really getting tired, Snarf.
Butters: Uh, Snarf, could you maybe like shut up for five minutes? -

Cartman: No. I've got dry balls and I'm running out of time. -
Squirrelly: Whoa, whoa, hang on y'all, we can't just kill her, that's not evil enough.
Freddy: What do you mean? We cut out her eyeball.
Jason: Yeah, that's super hardcore.
Squirrelly: Now come on y'all, we can do better than that.
Chippy: Hey, I know. Let's all tee in her empty eye socket.
Deery: Let's make her eat her own eyeball, and then pee in her empty eye socket.
Beary: How about we get someone with AIDS to pee in her eye socket so she dies all slow-like?
All Woodland Critters: Yeah!
Minotaur: Nobody here has AIDS!
All Woodland Critters: Aww!
Beary: But we got to have AIDS before we pee in her eye socket.
Squirrelly: Now don't be down y'all. I'll bet we can find some AIDS out in the forest! -
Kurt Russell: They're raping me! They're raping all of us! They're raping us and it hurts!

-
Butters: Please sir, I have to get home to my world.
Mayor: Oh, well, all you have to do is tap your heels together three times.
Butters: Really??
Mayor: NO you f*cking dipsh*t that was a joke!
Snarf: Mayor, what are we supposed to do, snarf snarf?
Mayor: Get to Castle Sunshine! It's your only hope!
Lollipop King: Castle Sunshine?
Mayor: Through the Gumdrop Forest. Others will be hiding there; go, run! Look out for the evil characters! They're assembling on the Yum Yum mountain!
(The Mayor groans and dies) -
General: Ever since the Cold War, the U.S. government has been working on a secret project to build a doorway into the imagination. It is called, Project Imagination Doorway.
Stan: That's not very imaginative.

NOTES (4)
ADD NOTES-
The entire "Imaginationland" trilogy won the 2008 Emmy Award for "Outstanding Animated Program (for Programming One Hour Or More)".
-
Kyle dies for a short time in this episode.
-
This is the second appearance of the satanic woodland critters. The first was in Woodland Critter Christmas.
-
Kenny does not appear in this episode.
-
-
ALLUSIONS (14)
ADD ALLUSIONS-
Kingdom Hearts:
The idea that Butters is the "key" may be a reference to this video game. The main character, Sora, is considered to be the key that connects all worlds.
-
God Of War II:
Perseus, Zeus, and Icarus (from Imaginationland III) are modeled after their characters in God Of War II, a game on the PS2.
-
Terminator 2:
Cartman's monologue in his dream sequence, "Every night the dream is the same," is a parody of Sarah Conner's dream sequence in Terminator 2 in which she begins her monologue the same way. In T2, Sarah Conner is watching kids play in a park when it is "it is taken from me" by an nuclear explosion and they all "turn to dust." In South Park, Kyle's mouth being sewn shut (and thus unable to imbibe Cartman's testicles) causes Cartman to say, "it is taken from me," and thus his balls, "turn to dust."
-
South Park References:
Woodland Critter Christmas: The Satanic Creatures from "WCC" reappear in this episode, they are imaginary because in the original Woodland Critter Christmas episode they were characters created by Cartman, thus imaginary.
ManBearPig: Al Gore's creation, his fictional menace to society, from ManBearPig appears in person in this episode as well as a now "real" and monstrous killing machine, who almost kills Kyle.
Queen Spider: When all hell is breaking loose in the initial free-for-all at the beginning, you can spot the Queen Spider from Red Hot Catholic Love in the background.
-
DOOM:
Manbearpig entering from the portal reenacts a scene in the video game Doom 3 begin in which the demons appear in a similar manner and attack the scientists. In fact, the special effects used for Manbearpig's vocalizations were originally used for the formerly-human enemies in the original Doom videogame.
-
Final Fantasy:
In addition to being an allusion to the movie Gladiator, the scene where Cartman is walking through the wheat field makes reference to a dream that the main character Aki Ross has, from the film, Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within had, quoting the line, "Every night the dream is the same."
-
The Abyss:
When Cartman is trying to revive Kyle, what Cartman says comes from the movie The Abyss when Virgil 'Bud' Brigman (Ed Harris) is talking to Lindsey Brigman (Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio) when he's trying to revive her while performing CPR.
-
Tron:
The guards who escort Butters and his companions to the Council of Nine are dressed and armed like Tron and his companions did on the Disney movie Tron.
-
Lord of the Rings
Castle Sunshine is an exact copy of Rivendell from Lord of the Rings film series. While "The Council of Nine" is probably a reference to the Council of Elrond in Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring.
-
Gladiator:
The scene of Cartman's dream is similar to the scene in Gladiator where Russel Crowe remembers his wife.
-
Hostel:
The way the evil imaginary characters of Imaginationland poked out Strawberry Shortcake's eye with a machete is just like a scene in the horror movie Hostel, where an asian girl got her eye poked out with a knife by a torturer.
-
Battlestar Galactica:
Cartman reads the beginning by saying, "Previously on Battlestar Galactica." Cylons from the first series are also visible in the episode.
-
Wizard of Oz:
When the Mayor of Imaginationland tells butters to click his heels three times in order to return home, he is making a very obvious (albeit sarcastic) reference to the Wizard of Oz.
-
Stargate:
The portal that the U.S. Government has to Imaginationland bears a striking similarity to the Stargate technology from the Stargate movie as well as the TV series. The music in the scene in which it's revealed is also very similar. Not to mention Kurt Russell (who starred in the Stargate movie) is in the platoon of marines entering the portal.
