Predatory Business: Difference between revisions

* Pizza Bat in ''[[No More Heroes]] 2: Desperate Struggle'', which has hurt the local fast food places like Burger Suplex.

* ''[[Ben Jordan: Paranormal Investigator]]'' has this as "Bean There, Done that".

* In ''[[Hyperdimension Neptunia]]'', there's a company called Avenir, a technology factory who owns a majority of the business on Lastation, and has used its influence to crush its competition and garner protection from Parliament, preventing Neptune and her friends from entering the Basilicom.

* Wal Mart Watch actually has a [[YouTube]] parody called ''[[Harry Potter and The Dark Lord Waldemart]]''.

 

 

** While Wall Mart ''is'' {{spoiler|the physical shell of an [[Eldritch Abomination]]}}, the boys make the argument that if the citizens of South Park really don't want it to succeed over the local "mom & pop" stores... ''stop shopping there''. This is [[Pun|reflected]] by the core of the Wall Mart being a mirror, so the boys (who were told to destroy the core) see themselves in it. [[Spoof Aesop|So then they just break the mirror which causes the Wall Mart to collapse into itself.]]

** Subverted in the episode for [[Bland-Name Product|Harbucks]] Coffee. Most of the episode involves a small coffee shop owner, Mr. Tweek, trying to keep Harbucks from imposing on his business, including forcing the four main characters to rally the town around him. Then it turns out that Harbucks actually does make better coffee than Tweek's when the townspeople finally get around to tasting it, and Mr. Tweek is even able to get a good job working there instead.

* Megalomart from ''[[King of the Hill]]''. Also Alamo Beer in a few episodes. However, after the Megalomart is blown up and rebuilt it stops being this.

* Superstore USA from ''[[Family Guy]]''.
