You think you have seen busy, crowded stores before? Until you've seen the early morning opening of an electronics or clothing store on Black Friday, you ain't seen nothin' yet!

Take a look at our top 5 favorite Black Friday crowd videos to see the ruthlessness of humanity when faced with huge price reductions on limited quantities of goods!
