A South Park scene built around the line "Don't let Black Friday be the end" left us stunned, and then came a reveal that what happened wasn't real. South Park (1997) stars Trey Parker and Matt Stone.

The Dutch angle in South Park's Black Friday scene

The scene even hit us with a Dutch angle. When the reveal came that it "wasn't real", it prompted the question: "You thought it was real the whole time?" The answer was yes.

Why not call the actual cops?

Calling the actual cops also came up. The reply was: "What are they going to do, man?" An ambulance came up as an alternative, and the answer to that was: "Yeah, them, probably."
