This article is about the day after Thanksgiving. For the episode of Transformers Animated, see Black Friday (episode).
Actual security footage of a Toys"R"Us on Black Friday.

Black Friday is a colloquial term for the day after Thanksgiving in the United States, which is one of the largest sales days of the year. Often, stores open very early (6am is common), slash prices and offer special time-sensitive sales (such as ending pricing at noon).

In the case of toys, they may also offer special multi-pack deals or release exclusives on that day as an incentive. Hasbro is particularly mercenary in this regard, as they sometimes offer same-line exclusives to different stores. Sometimes these are merely bonus packs, while occasionally, a toy may be specially redecoed.

Shopping on Black Friday is a contact sport; bruises and contusions are commonplace. A helmet and pads are highly recommended, although using tasers or mace is considered unsporting.
