A year?

The toy was introduced in the United States in 1996, quickly becoming a fad. The doll's short supply due to the unexpected demand led to an increase in price and violence over the limited stock among customers.

That actually makes it funnier to me; I didn't see it coming, and it makes perfect sense in context of Black Friday.

I worked at Target back when they released the original Tickle Me Elmo and had to open the doors Black Friday morning. I watched a woman grab another by the hair and fight, over a loving toy.

He's that kid from the episode when the girls called Stan (I think?) ugly, so he wanted to burn the world down, burn it down.

I remember seeing people doing this poo poo in the 80s for the Cabbage Patch dolls. Someone shoved my mom carrying my baby sister to the floor as they ran past, scared the hell out of us and my dad beat the holy hell out of the guy.

Everything about that episode was spot on and well timed. Even the Elmo joke; it's recent enough that you remember what it was, but long enough ago that you figure South Park just skipped it. Thematically appropriate to a Black Friday episode, and creepy without being overly so.

And the gaming references were on point, including what I hope was a deliberate undercurrent that console wars are stupid. It's the hardest I've laughed at a South Park in quite a while.

When I found out Dan Weiss and David Benioff were writing an episode of It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia this is kind of what I hoped it would be like. A ton of political intrigue, backstabbing, and gratuitous sex scenes. South Park delivered so well...there were parts that were exactly like GoT, and parts that just sort of felt like GoT show due to the writing, blocking, soundtrack, etc.

I feel like a 3 parter would be perfect since it would end 2 days before our Black Friday, but I also think cutting it short next week would be funny as a "get your poo poo together GRRM" message.
