GMM 811: 4 Craziest Black Friday Stories

Black Friday plus two dollar waffle iron equals pandemonium. Let’s talk about that. ♪ (theme music) ♪ – Good Mythical Morning! – It is the day after Thanksgiving, aka Black Friday aka the day when the seed of darkness sprouts from within the souls of shoppers everywhere and they will stop at nothing – to get that deal. – Mmh. I recommend just going to RhettandLink.com/store, – Aww yes! – where we got some killer deals, – 20% off everything. Bobble heads, – Look at that! even more specialer price. Get all that stuff, y’all. Get it! Get it! After you get these crazy Black Friday stories that will convince you – to stay indoors on our website. – Okay yeah. It’s a lot safer to just go on a website based on what’s happened in past Black Fridays. So many people have been injured and some even killed. There is a website that has started, – called BlackFridayDeathCount.com, – Egh. where you can see all the mayhem that’s happening. Up to seven deaths – and 98 injuries, and that maybe — – Well you don’t see mayhem happening. – (both) It’s just a counter. – And that may be updated today. – We don’t know. – Hopefully not. But we’re not gonna talk about people dying on Black Friday, ’cause there’s plenty of weird stuff, crazy stuff, short of people actually dying, and some of our favorite ones we’re going to share with you right now. – Let me take you to the Walmart– – Take me there! in Little Rock, Arkansas in the year 2011. If you’ve been on our Instagram account on Wednesdays, you know that waffles get cuh-razay. – Oh yes. Waffle Wednesday. – But waffles also make people cuh-razay. What would you do? I’ll ask it this way, for a two dollar waffle iron? – Oh I’d start a fight. – Oh wait! Wait! Hold on. – (laughs) – It makes two waffles at a time. – Two bites. – That’s a dollar a waffle simultaneously. – Two fights! – (laughs) Well these Little Rock, Arkansonians checked all their humanity at the gates — – At the automatic doors. – to Walmart. Let’s watch this viral video taken when people were just rampaging – the two dollar waffles. – Okay. Okay, see this is classic Black Friday bedlam. People screaming, carts going everywhere, people just clamoring for — – they’re just in a pile on the floor. – They’re getting real close – to each other. – Oh yeah. And look? – Oh. Oh honey! – There we go. – (laughs) – We got a little peek at what she’s got. – Somebody needs to pull their pants up! – Oh, there she goes again. She is really into waffles! I could put a waffle right in there. (laughs) Well it’s more like a toaster. You put a waffle down there, – and then the waffle pops back up. – Oh man! She doesn’t need a waffle iron! – No but look — – She needs to go out back! She’s grabbing them though. Look. She’s going way down in there and look. – Is she coming up with anything? – You know what? – One. Oh she’s got two. Three. Four! – Yeah. She got one waffle iron – for every inch of crack she showed. – (laughs) And a toaster. She came and left with the toaster. – Congratulations to you, lady! – Alright. – (laughs) – No one was hurt in that, – except the waffle boxes. – Okay. This is one that I can relate to, unfortunately. Springfield, Massachusetts, 2012. A guy named Anthony Perry, he’s 34 years old, he’s babysitting his girlfriend’s two-year-old son, and he thinks in the middle of the night, “You know what? I should go to Kmart for a Black Friday deal, because two-year- olds love deals, man.” – (laughs) – So girlfriend’s at work, he goes to Kmart, and he’s going for the big TV, that’s what he’s interested in. – Of course. – But in the process, he leaves the two-year-old in the car. Now again, like I said, and I’ve told this story on GMM, and I think on Ear Biscuits, but I did a similar thing one time. I left Locke in the car — – Accidentally. As a baby. – going into Walmart. But I was only in there for three minutes and I came back and rectified the situation. Anthony did something a little bit different. So he’s in there for quite some time, checking out the deals, and then a security guard sees that there is – a two-year-old asleep inside the car, – Oh no. They bust the windshield. They take the baby. They take the baby to — – Toddler. – toddler to the hospital. Not ’cause it was hurt, just as a precaution; ended up being okay. Okay. Toddler’s okay. We can laugh at the rest of the story. – Meanwhile, they start trying – (lisp) Retht of the thory. to track down Anthony. Well you know where Anthony is. He’s at home with a brand new 51-inch television, hooking that sucker up – and checking it out! – Really? How did he get home — – Well he has a very confusing story. – if the kid’s in the car? Confusing story, he says, “Well, I got confused. — – (laughs) – while shopping. I lost the child, and then I needed to call somebody for a ride.” That makes absolutely no sense. I think what actually happened, is he saw that 51-inch television, – completely forgot a girlfriend, – And he forgot! – or a girlfriend with a kid, – Yeah forgot his whole life. and then he was like, “I can’t fit this 51-inch television in my car.” Calls a buddy, they get home, they check it out, and I can only imagine what that conversation was like when he got back with the girlfriend. Oh yeah. To me, that’s kind of a dating deal breaker. – You think so? – If you leave my toddler in the car – (laughs) – in exchange for, – “Wow, look at that television!” – 51 inches, though? – The cops come in and he’s like — – I don’t know. 51 inches.. – “But look, cops! What a big plasma!” – “Look at that man; it’s not 4K, but you know, it’s kinda overrated to get 4k.” You can’t really pick up on that level of detail anyway. – It’s not worth the price. Question mark. – That’s right. Yeah. Let’s to to Best Buy. I don’t know where this was, because it was posted on Reddit, and they’re not big on details over there. A Reddit user by the name of DaveVsVolcano – Hmm – was a Best Buy employee for six years and he talks about — he posts about a Black Friday incident where — Of course people were camping out the night before, and then his manager had the idea once they open the doors, funnel the whole crowd, – Smart. – which ended up being 1500 people, inside of the Best Buy, funneling them through the appliance section back to where the plasma TVs are, ’cause that’s what everybody wants, right? – Everybody wants ’em. – So then there’s 1500 people in there, and this is what he says. Quote, he says, “Well we get a complaint from one of our – patrons. — after checking the dryers, – Mhmm. we find a nice turd in one.” (laughs) – Oh a nice one, huh? “Good size, solid consistency, just sitting there.” Apparently, some lady didn’t want to relinquish her place in line, but had to relinquish something else into the dryer. You don’t know that though. I mean, you’re not sure this wasn’t part of – a Black Friday special or something? – Well — – Comes with a turd? – That would be Brown Friday – (laughs) – Hey! One. Give me one. Come on bring it. – I’ve never given anybody one. – (laughs) – Well, Brown Friday, so — – Here you go. One turd. Point at me. I don’t know man. I think that you could get somebody – to hold your place in line. – Hold on but it was a dryer not a washer? – Yeah. – Because a washer’s a top load. – I can see myself sitting on one of those. – (laughs) – But a dryer’s front load. – A dryer, you gotta open it and back into – the cave. – You gotta back in. Say, “I’m still in line! I’m still in line; I’m right here! I am right here!” “What are you doing right –” “Well don’t worry about that.” Now, if it was a washer, – it would be clear what to do afterward. – You just cut it on yeah. But with a dryer, I’m thinking… do you turn it on? – Yeah, you make dookie jerky. – (laughs) – Gosh. Yeah. – It eventually dries up and you just — When Jade poops on the rug outside, we have an outdoor rug, – Blow dry it. – I’m like, “I’m just gonna leave that ’til tomorrow.” And then I can kick it over the fence. – (laughs) – Woohoo! That’s what you need – a golf club for. – You don’t wanna kick it when it’s fresh. – Okay alright. How about this guy? – Bake that thing. – Mall of America in Minnesota, 2013. – I love this story. There is a guy who calls himself “Serge the Car Hauler”. – You know him from YouTube. – He’s a YouTuber. And he decided that it would be awesome to while they’re performing “Let it Snow” there on the first floor, to go up to the third floor of the Mall of America and drop $1000 cash. Here’s what he did. – As one dollar bills. – Yes. – One dollar individual bills. Yes. – He’s in the upper left there. – And you see all the people clamoring. – And they’re singing “Let it Snow”. I mean the crowd’s like, “This is amazing! Mall of America’s amazing!” Now this was a stunt to promote his YouTube channel, – Right there. – because every dollar bill had his Serge the Car Hauler YouTube channel written on it. This is a great way to get the word out, Serge. Congratulations on that. And look; the cash made it all the way down to the stage. All the way to the stage. And watch, he tries to throw it out and it all comes back on the stage. I’ll just take that as a tip. And they got a standing ovation. The singers did afterward, I think, because the audience thought – that it was part of the routine. – Well wouldn’t you have? And then of course, Serge got arrested for this. – Or no, he got a ticket for this. – A citation. He got a citation for disorderly conduct, and then of course he had to make a video on his YouTube channel to explain why exactly he did it. Here it is. – My name is Serge. I’m the Car Hauler. – (Rhett) The Car Hauler. – I’m the guy that threw the money. – Yep. And there’s some questions from people asking why I did this, who am I, – (Link) Yeah. – you know, what in the world, – (Rhett) What in the world, Serge? – am I stupid and all this stuff. And I had a really tough year. My story is that I threw out my last thousand dollars. I didn’t have enough money for a lot of things, and I’m going – through a horrible divorce. – Oh okay. And she even took the cat and won’t tell me where it is. – (Link) Oh! – (Rhett) Serge. And I thought I’d just spread some holiday cheer, be positive, and pay it forward type of thing. Make it snow money. The security didn’t like it. They gave me a citation, but I don’t see how holiday cheer – is disorderly conduct, but… – It’s not, Serge! – Yeah, it’s — – Holiday cheer is NOT disorderly conduct! – It’s holiday cheer! – Yeah it’s money! Oh where’s his cat? Man, give me a break. Where are his subscribers? I don’t know. Listen, this is what we’ve decided to do for Serge, we’re gonna — Hey, let’s spread some holiday cheer to him right now. Here’s what we want all of you guys to do. We want you to go over to Serge’s video — – Don’t tell them that we sent you. – Them being him. – Don’t tell Serge. – There’s only one of him. Don’t tell Serge that we sent you. Don’t say Good Mythical Morning. Just give him some holiday cheer on his most recent video. – I don’t even know what it is. – We’ll have a link in the description – for that. – Yeah so click on the link in the description; it will take you to that video. Give him some holiday cheer without explanation. Don’t bring us into this, because then it won’t be – as cheerful. – Yeah. Let’s pay it back to Serge. – Forward. – He paid all you guys $1000 in Minnesota, – we’re paying it forward to him. – Now we’re paying it back. Yeah. Thanks for liking and commenting and spreading that holiday cheer! – Yes. You know what time it is. – Hi, my name’s Savannah from Spooner, Wisconsin, and it’s time to spin the Wheel of Mythicality!

I’ll drop a two dollar bill with your YouTube channel on it. – I’ll drop a three dollar bill. – I’ll drop — – Ten dollar bill. – I’ll drop a deuce in a dryer – of your enemy. – Okay, you should vote for him.
