Stan may have a hoarding problem.His locker is completely messy and he does not want to throw anything away.His girlfriend Wendy is worried about him.He visits Mr Mackey, the school counselor who also seems to have a hoarding problem.A doctor then decides to find the root of Stan and Mackey's hoarding problem by looking through Mackey's subconscious.However, Stan gets trapped in Mackey's subconscious and the doctors call the dream infiltrators(like the ones from Inception) to rescue them.Meanwhile, Mackey's subconscious dream is him as a child in 1974. The younger version of Mackey and Stan are trying to find the root of Mackey's hoarding problem.The episode spoofs the reality TV series "Hoarders"(which I have not seen), and the movie "Inception"(which I thought was fairly good albeit a tad overrated).The episode has some very hilarious moments as well as a scene where something happens to Mackey which may be seen as depressing or messed up.Overall, this is an excellent episode.

This is a FANTASTIC episode!
First off, I love the film Inception. I think it's Nolan's best and one of the best of 2010, BUT it was just hilarious to see it being made fun of this way. I am sure the writers love the film also and they are just going by what the media may secretly think or say, but this episode was hilarious all around! Episodes like this prove that South Park still has it and continues to be the best animated show on television (FORGET Family Guy!). Great episode, and the Inception star 'lookalikes' actually looked very similar to the actors, most notably Leonardo Dicarpio and Joseph Gordon Levitt.

The reality show "Hoarders" meets "Inception" meets "the most powerful dream infiltrator" in the definition of awesome. The same moment they announced "the most powerful dream infiltrator" I knew who it was, but that didn't spoil his appearance at all. Can you guess without watching?
