Koosalagoopagoop is the second segment of the twenty-first episode of Dexter's Laboratory. It first aired on December 3, 1997.
In this episode, Dee Dee learns about a magical place called Koosland from Koosy. However, she learns that things aren't what they seem when the Koosland inhabitants treat Koosy with disrespect.
Plot[]
One night, Dee Dee asks her imaginary friend Koosy to tell her a story when she can't fall asleep. He eagerly tells her about The Land of Koos and how he is the king. After learning this, Dee Dee excitedly asks Koosy to take her to Koosland, but he declines because it's a holiday and sends Dee Dee back to bed. Dee Dee feints returning to bed, but she immediately turns around and jumps into Koosy's heart and ends up in The Land of Koos.
There, Koosy and Dee Dee are on a bridge where the latter takes in the sights. Koosy tells Dee Dee that she has to leave, only for her to run off and frolic through a grassy field where she runs into Trollbetoot Forest, with Koosy chasing after her. Inside the forest, Dee Dee sees a picnic cloth and a basket in the middle of a clearing. Four Trollbes appear and sing "Picnic Time" with Dee Dee joining in. The Trollbes tell them the picnic is over and Dee Dee asks Koosy to introduce her to them. Koosy tells her that the residents of The Land of Koos can't see real boys or girls, prompting the shortest Trollbe, believing that Koosy was talking to him, to punch him in his knees. Before leaving, the Trollbes tell Koosy not to go to the King's ball, threatening that they'll mess him up.
Dee Dee, after learning about the ball, takes Koosy to the Koosland Royal Castle where the ball was held. Outside, Koosy overhears the shortest Trollbetoot tell Bob, the bouncer, to let him know if he sees Koosy. Koosy and Dee Dee, the former reluctant, head inside the castle via a crack in the wall. Inside the ballroom, Dee Dee sees the King and Queen of Koosland sitting in their thrones. She then drags Koosy towards the king and makes Koosy punch him, briefly knocking the king unconscious. Dee Dee then picks up the crown, places it on Koosy's head, and makes him kiss the queen.
The Koosland residents all run toward Koosy and the queen ready to attack the former, but the king stops them from doing so. Koosy then explains to Dee Dee that he lied about him being the king so she could like him. Dee Dee, however, already likes and loves Koosy, giving him a hug. As everyone in the ballroom is touched by the moment, the royal messenger runs toward the royal couple and tells them that the countryside has fogged in. The king then asks Koosy to guide his sleigh, to which he agrees to.
