[QUOTE=Diogenes the Cynic] By the way, legal contracts are non-binding on minors, so legally, the defendant in this case cannot be forced to suck the plaintiff’s balls. The judge was in error. [/QUOTE] That clearly does not apply to cartoon characters of any age. You could look it up. It’s in the Constitution. ---

Was the thing with Cartman in the truck a reference to Punisher? I only saw part of the movie, so I’m not sure. It didn’t seem like anything to do with 24 though. ---

I remembered seeing Joseph Smith and Krishna (he has a halo) in Imaginationland, and there were two other Superfriends, but I don’t remember which. Chances are, though, Muhammad was there. Does this mean that the terrorists blew up Muhammad?? Great episode. I second a request that someone explain what the final scene (Cartman in the truck) was a reference to. ---

[QUOTE=aliquot] Great episode. I second a request that someone explain what the final scene (Cartman in the truck) was a reference to. [/QUOTE] [Wikipedia](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Imaginationland) says it is a reference to a hitchhiking John Rambo in [First Blood](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0083944/). I haven’t seen this movie since the '80s so I can’t independently confirm or deny. But apparently the “Bauer Bag” is really a “Rambo Bag”. 🙂 ---

Anyone know where the music at the end was from? Both during the wall crumbling and then the semi scene. Taken from a film? A song? Original score? ---

Maybe the judge was a minimalist who believed the adversarial process should determine her application of the law. No sua sponte rulings for her. No, sir. Either way, her ruling was freaking hilarious. Paraphrasing: “You must put his testacles and scrotal sack in your mouth and draw on it succelently for a minimum of 30 seconds.” Succulently was sent me over the edge. I liked this episode. I was disturbed I recognized Snarf before they named him. That has to be taking the place in my mind of some mathematical formula that would better serve me. I also think I saw the following: Voltron Optimus Prime Orko (the magician from He-Man) Ronald McDonald Who else? Has anyone found anywhere online that identified every character? I kept expecting to see Towelie. Funny stuff. ---

As for the trilogy issue…I think before one of the last commercial breaks there was a “To Be Continued…” Then more show after the break, then another “To Be Continued…” at the end. I only watched it the one time Wednesday night though, maybe someone can correct me. ---

[/QUOTE] Link? > [@middleman](#): > > I was disturbed I recognized Snarf before they named him. That has to be taking the place in my mind of some mathematical formula that would better serve me. Well, you can wipe out that part of your mind which feels guilty about knowing such things by watching the [Thundercats movie](http://www.variety.com/article/VR1117966320.html?categoryid=13&cs=1) when it’s released. Brilliant ep, BTW. Oh, and as for the whole implausibility of Kyle being forced to suck Cartman’s balls, let’s remember this is a series in which for a good number of episodes the _same_ character would _die!_ [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/south-park-10-17/423133.md?page=1)
