After being forced to work on a holiday, KO, Rad, and Enid take a stand.
Tropes:
- Appeal to Tradition: Between giving the employees Shucksgiving off and keeping the store running for Super Black Friday, Gar decides to compromise by allowing the "tradition" of serving them a holiday meal when foot traffic dies down. Enid asks how this is a tradition when they've never done it before, but Gar points out all traditions are made up, so they may as well come up with one that works for them.
- Berserk Button: For Principal Claus, it's not respecting the people waiting in line for Super Black Friday. He gives Shannon and Darrell a mighty smackdown for doing just that.
- Black Comedy: When K.O. asks why principal Claus isn't spending time with his family Claus replies that he is. This leads K.O. to ask if Claus is his dad, only for Claus to quickly reply "No" and explain that he meant the shoppers waiting in line are like family to him.
- Evil Is Petty: Shannon and Darrell have come to the Plaza not to attack them as usual, but to make fun of the people waiting in line.
- Foreshadowing: The cutaway to A Real Magic Skeleton being mobbed by customers gives a quick glimpse of how the seemingly docile customers in line will inevitability act once KO and friends opens Gar's up for the sale.
- Gilligan Cut: Brandon says A Real Magic Skeleton was okay with running the store alone. Cut to him being overwhelmed by shoppers, who have apparently torn him to pieces.
- Retail Riot: As soon as the clock strikes 6:00 PM, the people in line storm the Bodega, completely overwhelming our heroes. At 6:01, the crowd stops and disperses, leaving the Bodega stripped bare.
- Right on Queue: The Super Black Friday shoppers gather in a line that wraps around the Plaza four times. When the Bodega crew asks why anyone would go through all this trouble instead of spending time with their families, Principal Claus points out how those waiting in line form their own family and treat it as a tradition.
- Screams Like a Little Girl: Rad when a little girl mistakes him for a Glorby and tries to buy him.
- Thanksgiving Episode: Set on the equivalent to Thanksgiving, and also a pseudo-Christmas Episode, about Black Friday and how it more or less pits these holidays against each other for retail workers.
- True Meaning of Christmas: Spoofed. Principal Claus teaches K.O., Rad and Enid the true meaning of Super Black Friday.
- You Mean "Xmas":
- Shucksgiving, which is a lot like Thanksgiving but with a bigger emphasis on corn. This is presumably because the setting has a living ear of corn as a godlike figure.
- Super Black Friday, which leads into a generic holiday season, is treated as a holiday unto itself, which Principal Claus dedicates himself to.
