        That reminds me of a scene in Archer. One of the characters temporarily decides to become a country music star. A foreign dictator becomes obsessed with her. On the day her album drops, she happens to be in that dictator’s country. Instantly, the album went platinum. How?

        Cut to a scene where pallets and pallets of her album are being unloaded - all purchased by that dictator.
