Perseus: What imaginary character are you?!
Lollipop King: The Lollipop King? From the Lollipop Forest?
Snarf: And I'm Snarf. Snarf, snarf snarf snarf.
Perseus: And what imaginary character are you?
Butters: Oh, I'm not imaginary. I'm Butters.
Perseus: What's a "Butters"?
(edit) General: Why would you agree to suck someone's balls?
Kyle: I didn't think there was gonna be a goddamn leprechaun! (edit) Orc: We are free! Now all of Imaginationland is ours!
Minotaur: Not all, foolish Orc. There are still parts of Imaginationland we don't control.
Freddy: Tomorrow, we shall build our own castle right on this spot.
Minotaur: Who put you in charge Krueger? I am the most evil character here!
ManBearPig: Nonsense! Your evil is stale!
Headless Horseman: I am the most evil imaginary character!
(Freddy hisses)
Squirrely: Now come on, y'all. We shouldn't be fightin'. We're supposed to all be on the same side.
Chippy: Yeah, you're right Squirrely Squirrel.
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!
Jason: Man, I do not want to meet the kid that dreamt those things up. (edit) Stephen: Butters, time for breakfast!
Butters: Gah! Oh, jeez. It was just a dream.
Stephen: Come on Butters, Mom's cooked waffles and nanas for you.
Butters: Oh Mom, Dad, I dreamed I was in Imaginationland and then terrorists attacked it.
Stephen: You are in Imaginationland. This is a dream.
Butters: Huh?
Mayor of Imaginationland: Hey! Wake up stupid! (edit) 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! (edit)

How's come Stan and Kyle were the only ones interviewed? Butters couldn't be interviewed because he was trapped in Imaginationland. But what about Jimmy? He was in Imaginationland too yet he didn't even appear in this episode. (edit) This episode poses a contradiction over Jesus. Previously, he has been shown as a 'real' person, living in South Park and with his own television show. However, here he lives in Imaginationland, suggesting that he is imaginary. (edit) The evil Woodland Critters are clearly unaware of the fact that AIDS actually cannot be transmitted through urine. (edit) The Secretary of Defense first refers to the imagination portal experiment as "Project X." However, when he shows it to Stan and Kyle, he says it's called, "Project Imagination Doorway." (edit) In the original airing of this episode, when Kyle is about to die, Cartman yells "NOOO!" and it's in one of the adults voices. They fixed it five days later, and had Cartman's normal voice yell. (edit)

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. (edit) 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. (edit) 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." (edit) 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. (edit) 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.
