History Recap / SouthParkS14E10Insheeption

* AttentionDeficitOohShiny: Randy seemingly becomes a PapaWolf and offers to go into the dream and save Stan and the others... but the moment he goes in, he immediately starts acting lackadaisical and carefree as a butterfly. When Stan asks for his help, he ''outright refuses'' and spends the episode laughing and dicking around as a butterfly. It's enough to make one wonder if Stan's hoarding wasn't triggered by the stress from his utter jackassery.

** One would think they'd talk about Stan's parents being completely inattentive towards his problems (even in the dream, Randy acts carefree as a butterfly and outright ''rejects'' helping him when he asks) as a possible reason for his hoarding... but it never comes up.

* BackgroundMusic: Played straight for most of the episode but invoked in one scene -- the psychiatrist tells Freddy Krueger to explain the logic while he'll "provide the background" and proceeds to hum the music from ''Film/{{Inception}}'' as Freddy explains the logic.

* TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt: The end of Europe, that is.

* TakeThat: Twenty minutes of "people who find ''Inception'' cool because they think it is complex are dumb, because it's actually pretty simple".

* ShoutOut: Young Mr. Mackey's room features posters of [[Series/Space1999 "Space: 1989"]], [[Series/TheSixMillionDollarMan "The Six Billion Dollar Man"]], and [[ComicStrip/{{Peanuts}} "Snoopey"]], as well as Shogun Warriors figures of ''Manga/MazingerZ'', ''Anime/BraveRaideen'' and [[''Manga/GetterRobo'' Getter Dragon]].

* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: Dr. Chinstrap maintains the usual zaniness of a south park adult, but he has his moments. When he is going through Stan's locker, he tries to accommodate Stan's decisions; but gets more insistent when he pulls increasingly undesirable items from the locker. He finally gets insistent about throwing something away when he pulls out a sandwich full of maggots.

* RefusalOfTheCall: Freddy at first but then he hears about [[TheRealHeroes the firemen]].

* AmbiguousEnding: Stan refuses to go through his own hoarding therapy after witnessing Mr. Mackey's therapy, and proceeds to just clean out his locker like he should have in the first place. Kyle asks him, "How do you know that ''wasn't'' your therapy?"

* BackgroundMusic: Played straight for most of the episode, but invoked in one scene -- the psychiatrist tells Freddy Krueger to explain the logic while he'll "provide the background" and proceeds to hum the music from ''Film/{{Inception}}'' as Freddy explains the logic.
* BaitAndSwitch: At first it seems that the episode is going to follow the usual gag of adults and sometimes children taking something far too seriously when the gathered people act like Stan's cluttered locker is a disaster zone. Then Dr. Chinstrap starts taking items out which include a broken toothbrush and a rotting sandwich, both of which Stan is reluctant to throw away. Until he just snaps and refuses to throw any of it away, proving he has a problem.

* OnlySaneMan: Freddy Krueger is the only one who recognizes that Mr Yelman is a sheep herder.

* AmbiguousEnding: Ends with Stan refusing to go through his own hoarding therapy after witnessing Mr. Mackey's therapy, and proceeds to clean out his locker without having to deal with his hoarding problems. Kyle asks him, "How do you know that ''wasn't'' your therapy?"

* AnimalHoarding: Justified. Mr. Yelman is a sheep herder and has any right to hoard sheep. Not that the psychocologist would agree.

* TheMindIsAPlaything: After going into the dream to save Stan, Randy [[MakesJustAsMuchSenseInContext turns into a butterfly]] [[AdultsAreUseless and becomes more concerned with having sex with other butterflies]].
