[SIGHS] Another Thanksgiving is in the books.

Which means Christmas is starting.

Say, Lis, I couldn't help but notice you're holding a piece of paper.

Oh, this piece of paper?

Why, it's just my Christmas list, is all.

What a coincidence.

I also have my Christmas list right here in my hand.

Oh, you selfish little gangsters.

There's always another shakedown, isn't there?

What do you know, Bart? There's only one present on my list.

My word, that's reasonable.

I, too, only found one present to be list-worthy.

Oh, give me the lists.

[MARGE GROANS]

We already have a TV.

We've been through ten Super Bowls, XLIV through LIII.

But our dumb TV is not a smart TV.

And I just want one other smart thing in this house.

Yeah, well, we'll think about it.

[BART AND LISA HUMMING HAPPILY]

I want everything about Christmas to be perfect, but that smart TV the kids want is $ , .

[SCOFFS] That's ridiculous.

Our TV may not be smart, but it's street smart.

ANNOUNCER: It's Sprawl-Mart's huge Black Friday sale.

Jay-G headphones only $ . .

Two-piece sofa set only $ . .

And this GL K Smart TV only $ . .

GL K Smart TV.
Where have I heard that before?

The kids are chanting it nonstop.

BART AND LISA: GL K Smart TV.

- GL K Smart TV.
- Knock it off!

ANNOUNCER: Supplies are limited, so be here when the doors open at : a.m.!

Black Friday: like The Purge, but for bargains.

That's how we get it. We have to go.

Oh, old TV, you really are dumb.

You just told us how to replace you. [LAUGHS]

Why do we have an antenna on an HDTV?

I thought it looked cool.

So the customers will be entering from here, here and here.

Our biggest concern are the cutsies.

- I hate those Nazis.
- I said "cutsies."

- You think the Nazis didn't take cuts?

I leave for Sprawl-Mart now, getting us a good place in line.

Godspeed, hot woman.

I love you, too, Homie, but I have to go.

My tongue is frozen to your zipper.

Aw, Marge, great to see you out here.

You want a Cup O' Noodles to chase away the chill?

I can't afford the real thing, but if you stare at the label while you drink it, you'd swear there was real chicken powder in there.

I'm getting a Futon Friend for my granddaughter.
