YouTube/L337 0wnage2 Massive crowds descended on Wal-Mart stores across the U.S. on Thursday as the retailer kicked off its Black Friday doorbuster deals one day early.

The deals, which included $350 savings on a $1,000 flatscreen TV, started at 6 p.m. on Thanksgiving Day.

Here's a look at the chaos inside one Wal-Mart as the sales began.

Photos posted to social media revealed insanely long checkout lines and crowded aisles.
