Meanwhile, a Wall-Mart opens in South Park to much fanfare, and everyone in town starts shopping there. The episode begins with Cartman betting Kyle five dollars that when people die they 'crap their pants', which Kyle rebuffs. The plot of this episode is a direct parody of the 1983 Disney movie Something Wicked This Way Comes based on the 1962 novel by Ray Bradbury.
The four boys have to fight against Wall-Mart and to find a way to stop it from taking over the entire town. In the episode, a Wall-Mart is built in South Park, and the people start to get addicted to shopping from it, due to its irresistibly attractive bargains, thus leading many businesses in South Park to close down.
It originally aired on Comedy Central in the United States on November 3, 2004. ' Something Wall-Mart This Way Comes' is the ninth episode of the eighth season of the American animated television series South Park, and the 120th episode of the series overall.
