Lol this is a good question.. I'm a go with the original set up earth being a show butters only had power in imagination land not earth


OldInterview6006

Imaginaaaationnn


Yonbuu

EeeemaginAaAAaAaAAaaashun đŸŽ”


d00dsm00t

Thats where that key change happened


thedudeslandlord

No man, it went up in there: imaaAAA? ImAAaa?


No-Photograph-1788

Plus, in the meta sense.. it's still taking place on a show... that were watching so technically never left the show


YeahMarkYeah

Yea, apparently EARTH is still getting pretty good ratings. That or the producers are still afraid of the boys sharing the photo.


V1k1ng1990

You must have some joozamek ancestry


Skwiggelf54

I can't believe they sucked eachothers jagons...


vdubdank30

No Butters, that only works in imaginationland! You’re grounded mister!


dendawg

Aw, hamburgers!


The_Brim

And Mexico. He has power there too


sonic_knx

Good point, I've wondered about this for so long lol


walruswes

I mean butters imaging that earth as a show would fit with his character a bit


NibruDez

Weren’t we cut off from the universe cause of the space cash incident in the pinewood derby episode ? Cause come to think of they haven’t encountered anything alien related since

NibruDez

I’d be down but they’d have to pull Something out the wazoo for them to give us a second chance. Which I feel like that’s a loose end since Earth was never “cancelled”


StazDBunney

Perhaps a second group of aliens belonging to the Galactic Empire shows up and let us join them, then we have a whole season or so that's just a Star Wars parody


The_Real_JohnnyRicky

Actually tsot took place after the pinewood derby incident and there was an entire level on the visitor ship.


Supreme_Lord_Cola

This is splitting hairs but it's POSSIBLE the visitors were already on or in close proximity to Earth when the barrier went up, and they just can't fly farther than the moon


Subject1928

That would explain the stereotypical aliens still being around (if they are, not sure if there are any Easter Eggs of them after Earth got canceled.) as well.


Global-Ad-907

Honestly, that season did rock! Whale wars, wrestling, pirate, ghosts of the x3 death celebrity conspiracy, Kenny died of fucking BS cause.. . Then also... the coon


Global-Ad-907

Well said. I must now review.


TheDuckyDino

The Stick of Truth in question:


Nibounium

That could have just been tv drama.


anonsharksfan

It's probably not considered canon, but Stick of Truth has aliens


Global-Ad-907

Nice catch


JustAnIdea3

Oh no! Not Finland! Hey guys, Finland's dead.


jimmysmiths5523

Was the Derby episode before or after the John Edwards episode, where he was elected giant douche of the universe?

Numerous-Stranger-81

Butters the Creator is descendant of the game show universe.


-mochaa-

Agreed


Jub1982

It’s a reality show


Global-Ad-907

Game show. Still after all humanity's fuck ups...we still hate, kill, and destroy, and cover it up with hallmark "love", that ONLY helps if another profits. So, yep.... people love to see others suffer. (Butters would never imagine that shit, even as Professor Chaos )


Unhappy-Support1455

“Save that picture children, something tells me it’s important.” Chef.


carljpg

Yeah suck my jaagon


spintrackz

Oh YEAH! now stick your finger in my thrusher!


dbeynyc

Butters imagined both everyone and the game show into existence.


MontrealChickenSpice

Especially the part where they suck each others jagons.


C_IsForCookie

I just want to know what happened to the picture of the aliens sucking each others jagons!!!???


SuttreeBeard

Oh, man. I can't believe I sucked your jagon.


JohnnyDrama21

Or sticking a finger in their threshers


DeathOfSlimShady

First one, then the other


feric89

Yes


Lesbean_luzer

Its a game show and Butters imagining into existence was a shitty idea the owner of the network had to advertise his dying show


Chesterthefester

Well one should exist inside of the other


Edaimantis

What episode is the butters thing from)


linglingvasprecious

I'd like to know this too! If I had to take a wild guess, possibly Imagination Land?


ryandmc609

It is Imagination Land.


ScaryCrowEffigy

It’s from the end of the Imagination Land trilogy.


Sezuresalad

Honestly I wouldn’t be surprised because with all the shit my epilepsy has done to me I would not be surprised if my life was a game show


unoriginalpunk

The episode Cancelled happened first [season 7 episode 1] the Imaginationland story ark happened second [season 11 episodes 10-12] Pinewood Derby [season 13 episode 6] would also have relevance here. I will be discussing all the mentioned episodes. If you haven't watched them, don't read. This is my spoiler warning. So, theoretically, both could be true. In the original timeline, we [Earth] were an intergalactic reality show almost canceled but saved by a boy photographing two Joozians sucking each others jagons. And then later, as an indirect consequence of a terroristic attack of the embodiment of the human imagination, Al Gore launches a missile to defeat ManBearPig and blows up all of Imaginationland, causing Butters Scotch to reimagine, well, everything. It would then probably be up for debate of whether or not Butters could reimagine things he has no knowledge of as there was a human memory wipe at the end of Cancelled. He should have no knowledge of Joozians or the intergalactic reality show, so, therefore, how could he reimagine this into existence? Or was Imaginationland contained to just Earth's collective imagination, and therefore, the multitude of aliens we've encountered in South Park would remain intact? Either way it would probably become a moot point after the episode Pinewood Derby [Season 13 Episode 6] any galactic life we've encountered that survived the reimagining would have be lost to us when McGee-zax sealed off Earth and isolated it from the rest of the universe as punishment when Earth failed the test to determine readiness to join the intergalactic community.


AgentCirceLuna

I remember thinking the season when Cancelled happened was ANCIENT as a teenager yet I remember when season 11 was coming out. Weird how your perception of time changes with age.


devil0o

Butters imagination now, because he didn't know about space Weinstein brothers.


SevroAuShitTalker

They aren't mutually exclusive. Earth is just made up of random species


None-Hostile

Can't it be both


Splendidbloke

There's also the episode where Baby Fuark McGeezax and co seal off planet earth from the rest of the universe thanks to Randy and his Pinewood Derby car, which kind of contradicts the earth being a tv show.


Yoshi3163

It’s from another universe they kinda explained all of this on the panderverse special. Which ever panders to you.


KL4SSIE

I believe that Butters is the singularity


Electro8bit

No that was just Earth’s imagination.


burgy76

What episode is the bottom picture?


Majestic-Delay7530

I just see it as a show as they kinda break the 4th wall with Kenny being aware he dies same with cartman. It’s an easy out answer but I think that’s why it’s funnier as a satire because it’s almost aware it’s a show.


Bored_Protag

Real life is more prevalent over imagination land. That being said imaginary things are in fact real so butters is infinite multiverse level in power scaling


TantorDaDestructor

Why not both?


-mochaa-

What about the third? That everything is a VR game


Nerf_Herder86

Can't it be both?


Oobiwhencanobeef

Both can be true, when the universe collapsed and butters had to imagine everything that doesn’t disprove the aliens reality show


bokmcdok

Butters only reimagined Imagination Land, not everything.

We are the music makers. We are the dreamers of dreams.


K-Zoro

I recently rewatched The Never Ending Story and the ending has the kid imagine everything in Fantasia back in existence. I didn’t remember the connection when I first watched this episode but it’s definitely there.


whomesteve

Butters reimagining everyone back into existence, because it happened after the canceled episode and Butters was never aware that earth was a game show, so once he reimagined everything back into existence he reimagined a world where earth never was a game show but it is still exactly the way it was as if it were designed to be a game show.


Financial-Working132

YES!


jmillsner

Hey, you earthlings wanna try a little BLECH?!


Primrus

I love this post. That's one of my favorite episodes. So just remember Matt and Trey were being threatened with cancelation and definitely didn't want to be; they had so many more ideas. I don't think it's canon, but it doesn't matter lol


Oslotopia

Yes


greatreference

It’s a cartoon dude


dead_or_undead

Butters imagined everyone *in imaginationland* into existence


Jigsaw428

I've wondered about this for so long lol


Chexzout

Neither are reality, they are both imaginative creations in an animated fantasy.
