Revision as of 01:56, 22 November 2003 by 68.0.180.237 (talk)(diff) ← Previous revision | Latest revision (diff) | Newer revision → (diff)In the South Park episode entitled Gnomes (Underpants Gnomes), The Underpants Gnomes are a community of underground gnomes who collect underpants.
The Underpants Gnomes have a three-step business plan, consisting of:
- Collect underpants
- ???
- Take over the world!
Where none of the gnomes actually knows what the second step is, and all of them assume someone else within the organization does.
A similar business model is also found in one episode of Arthur, where an organization of pets form the Sock exchange.
