  ==Reception==
  "Black Friday" received critical acclaim. Max Nicholson of IGN gave the episode a score of 8.7 out of 10, writing: "Cleverly fusing elements of the Next-Gen Console War with HBO's Game of Thrones, 'Black Friday' was easily one of the best ''South Park'' episodes we've seen in Season 17."
  Ryan McGee of ''The A.V. Club'' gave the episode an A−, praising the ''Game of Thrones'' parody, saying, "Why wrap ''Game of Thrones'' in all this? There's no ''real'' reason to do so, except that it's really amusing and offers up a great way to frame the overall narrative. What makes the approach really work is that 'Black Friday' is not a one-for-one parody so much as a thematic one."
