In the episode where Chef dies, the "Super Adventurers Club" is a jab at the Adventurers Club in DTD. I was watching an interview with the South Park creators talking about postmodern representation in telivision and they confirmed the Adventurers Club was their target in that episode.

Originally Posted By chrisknight02 It was a brilliant episode. In my opinion it was mostly about post-modernism.

It was secondarily about how terrorists and the government control people by effecting their imaginations. The terrorists bombed imagination land. That's how terrorism works, they make people afraid of things that arn't rational to fear. Then the government used that fear to nuke imagination land.

Originally Posted By FiveBearRugs I liked episode 3, but I felt it was a bit weaker to the first two parts. Butters imagining people and weapons for the good guys was funny (Tartar-control Crest!). I saw Darth Maul fighting either Jesus or Popeye...but the Woodland Christmas Critters destroy TRON.
