The episode ends with him suddenly waking up in the real world and believing it to be AllJustADream, before his parents tell him that it was all real and [[YouAreGrounded ground him]] due to being in Imaginationland instead of helping his mother clean out the basement. In response, Butters tries to imagine himself not being grounded by them, which leads them to reveal that only works in Imaginationland. With that, Butters is left grounded and alone with nothing but his annoyance.

* GettingCrapPastTheRadar: Several deities and/or prophets are seen in Imaginationland and described as being "fictitious" characters. Among them are ancient deities like Anubis and Zeus, but also deities that are still worshipped today such as Jesus Christ, Moses, Buddha, Ganesha, Lao Zi, Krishna and Joseph Smith. Even God is mentioned being there. Parker and Stone explained on the audio commentary that they consider all these religious figures to be just as much fantasy as all the other fictitious characters. However they do point out that the stories themselves, whether it be the story of Jesus Christ or {{Star Wars}}, are entertaining and inspiring and thus should be kept told forever.

* BlackAndWhiteMorality: The good fictional characters fight evil fictional characters. No matter whether they are Dick Dastardly, The Joker or Cthulhu, the only goal of the bad guys is to destroy Imaginationland's good side.



* CreatorProvincialism: A disproportionate number of imaginary characters comes from American popular culture, folklore and advertising. Also the existence of the Council of Nine implies that Popeye and Luke Skywalker are as revered as Jesus and Zeus are. Justified in that American pop culture is hugely influential, and that movies, TV series, comics and books might as well be what mythology was for the past eras.
