Battle Ball
Battle Ball is a product where a transformable ball is rolled out, and a figurine pops up. Bart gets introducted to Battle Ball, and becomes addicted, making Marge think he's dealing drugs.
History
When Bart and his sisters are taken to friend from toddler group Dylan's birthday party by their mother Marge, Bart is introduced to Battle Ball by other boys, and sparks an interest in the toy. At school, Bart is told by Nelson that Ralph has got a Platinum Lavagini card from his grandmother in Japan, and they play. Martin reports to Principal Skinner that the boys are dealing "drugs". He reports to Marge about it, and she sneaks in on Bart and Milhouse playing in the basement. When Milhouse mentions "they're imported", her suspicions grow.
Later, Marge turns over Bart's room searching for evidence that he's dealing drugs (and finds some itching powder she mistakes for cocaine). Bart enters, with Marge asking if he's dealing drugs. Bart tells her he won't deal drugs until his allowance is raised, and shows Marge a Battle Ball, a snowman that pops out carrots, and she exclaims the figurine will be an ornament at Christmas. Bart then flushes his cards and figurines down the toilet, in disgrace that Marge likes the toy.
Behind the Laughter
Battle Ball is a parody of Bakugan Battle Brawlers.
