The episode begins with the Cult of Cartman members (made up of die-hard Eric Cartman fans) discussing their favorite Cartman moments. They eagerly anticipate watching Cartmanland, which they believe is the pinnacle of Cartman's sheer genius and depravity.

As the episode progresses, viewers are treated to a behind-the-scenes look at the creation of Cartmanland.

He grows increasingly bored and frustrated with each passing day; his rides are no longer fun and his moods become more and more erratic.

In the end, Cartman is forced to reckon with the consequences of his selfishness. He learns that sometimes, having too much of a good thing can be even worse than having nothing at all. The Cult of Cartman members watch on, enraptured by the episode that only serves to prove their point; that Cartman is the ultimate anti-hero, the master of his own fate, and always one step ahead of everyone else.
