History NightmareFuel / BeavisAndButthead

* There is an episode where Beavis and Butt-Head shoot down a plane while trying to hunt ducks. Then we see the people inside the plane crying for help, and, aside from weakly attempting to open the door, [[FridgeHorror Beavis and Butt-Head leave them to die]].

* In another early episode, Van Driessen gets attacked by a bear that is pretty disturbing in appearance.

* In "Prank Call", the boys were pranking a really big and scary guy with an unfortunate name (Harry Sachz), and they gave him Stewart's address, causing an enraged Harry to burst into Stewart's home and [[WouldHurtAChild threaten him]]. Stewart's dad walks in with a phone, prompting Harry to think he made the calls and drag him to the bathroom, where he shoves the phone [[AssShove up his ass off-screen]]. While Mr. Stevenson deserved it for trying to [[AbusiveParents throw Stewart under the bus]] [[DirtyCoward to save himself]], it's no less horrifying.

* At the end of "Spring Break", the duo are implied to have died ''yet again'' when they get dropped into a trash compactor, thinking they're driving to the Jersey Shore. The episode ''ends there''. While it IS PlayedForLaughs, dark laughs at that, it's still kind of gruesome to think about.
* The episode "Are You There God? It's Me, Beavis" seems to be an answer to the original series episode "Rabies Scare" where, unlike in that episode, Beavis actually *does* contract rabies after getting attacked by an infected skunk. Beavis spends the entire episode losing his mind and it's terrifying seeing him with the yellow eyes and actual foam around his mouth. At the end of the episode, Beavis turns completely feral and viciously attacks Tom Anderson like a wild animal.

* They end up dying ''again'' in "Hoarders." They stupidly believe that hoarding will help them score, but instead of their own belongings, they fill the house with other people's trash. Unfortunately, they can't find the door and eventually get buried underneath the trash. Instead of trying to escape, they think it's more comfortable to live in their trash. TimeSkip ten years later and they're found on their couch as skeletons.

* "Wood Shop" is a revisit to the "Beavis bleeding horribly" element. The two are in shop class and put everything to be cut in half by a table saw -- [[TooDumbToLive including a phone and a first aid kit]]. Then Beavis ''cuts his own finger off, leading to a massive amount of bleeding'', pictured above.

* And while we're talking NauseaFuel, there's "Tainted Meat". Beavis's wiener is itching terribly, and he can't stop scratching it obsessively, even at Burger World -- and he uses one of the spatulas to do it. We get this really unnerving sequence, in ominous slow-motion, of Beavis taking his hand out of his pants long enough to put some more burger patties on the grill, without washing his hands. The result is a montage of everyone in the restaurant keeling over from food poisoning. Butt-Head, surprise surprise, [[CaptainOblivious barely notices what's happening]], packs up an order for a now-horrified customer, and wishes him a great day. A news report later states that health experts had never seen a bacteria this aggressive, which implies that Beavis ''is'' Patient Zero due to his incredibly poor hygiene.

--> '''Butt-Head:''' UH!!!! YOU ASSWIPE!!
--> '''Beavis:''' Woah, you look REALLY cool now!

* In "Prank Call", the boys were pranking a really big and scary guy with an unfortunate name (Harry Sachz), and they gave him Stewart's address, causing an enraged Harry to burst into Stewart's home and [[WouldHurtAChild threaten him]]. Stewart's dad walks in with a phone, prompting Harry to think he made the calls and drag him to the bathroom, where he shoves the phone [[AssShove up his ass off-screen]]! Though, to be honest, Stewart's dad was [[DirtyCoward trying to pin the blame on]] [[AbusiveParents his own son]], so he ended up deserving it.

* The episode "Beavis Gets Rabies" seems to be an answer to the original series episode "Rabies Scare" where, unlike in that episode, Beavis actually *does* contract rabies after getting attacked by an infected skunk. Beavis spends the entire episode losing his mind and it's terrifying seeing him with the yellow eyes and actual foam around his mouth. At the end of the episode, Beavis turns completely feral and viciously attacks Tom Anderson like a wild animal.

--> "Your abuse of two students has come to our attention"? Who are they?! ''[[NotHelpingYourCase I'LL KILL 'EM!]]''

** Really, Beavis and Butt-Head's indifference to the suffering of others really makes them turn from comedic Anti-Heroes into full-blown {{Villain Protagonist}}s.

** It's implied that the bacteria was caused by Beavis' incredibly poor hygiene, so yes, Beavis '''IS''' Patient Zero. The infection clears up as soon as he washes himself.

Let's just say that this show has quite a few moments that can be off-putting for some people.

* "The Good Deed" starts off fairly tame until the boys mistake an entire barrel of insect poison for Spanish Fly. Attempting to get the girls at the school dance party to drink it, they decide to take it there and pour it into the fruit bowl. The poison is so strong, when Beavis puts an orange slice into it, it disintegrates ''instantly'' and even some of it got on Beavis' foot with him remarking it started to bleed. After awhile, the duo then drink the ''[[TooDumbToLive entire bowl]]'' with their stomachs inflating as a result. It's not long after they are taken to the hospital where it seemed like they were going to recover [[IronButtMonkey as usual]] right? ''[[SubvertedTrope NOPE]]''! They actually [[DisneyDeath flatlined]] marking the first time in the entire series Beavis and Butt-Head ''DIE''! This is the same duo that survived being run over by cars, falling out buildings, struck by lightning, and stricken with multiple types of life-threatening diseases at once! Even crazier to remember the episode [[DownerEnding ends]] this way! It's a good thing that this series doesn't run on continuity for the most part as the duo are shown to be still alive in later episodes.

* When the duo comment on Music/{{Pantera}}'s "This Love", Butt-Head theorizes that the lead singer is angry because of a domineering father. The commentary starts off pretty funny, with both of them imitating "Pantera's father" ("Dammit Panerta! You treat your stepmother with respect!") That is, until Beavis gets a little TOO in-character and specific with it, visibly freaking out and shaking/screaming as he does so. Even Butt-Head is slightly unnerved by this, and tells Beavis to calm down.

** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rjg5WAKqhDM This hidden easter egg scene]] in which Butt-Head pulls out a shotgun, says "[[PrecisionFStrike Fuck you, Beavis!]]" and blows Beavis's brains out. Jarring, to say the least, and makes one wonder how the game got away with a T rating.
* A meta example comes from a spoof ''{{Magazine/Mad}}'' did back in the '90s, which portrayed them as very old men. At one point in one of the final panels of the comic, Butt-Head is now little more than a BrainInAJar kept alive through a complex life-support system. He was making the most of it only for Beavis to come along wanting some popcorn and decides to unplug Butt-Head so that he could use the microwave. This was made all the more worse with the latter [[FridgeHorror being aware of what's going to happen to him, but obviously being powerless to do anything to stop it]] and the Xs in his eyes after he dies. Even though he was, well, a [[AssholeVictim butt-head]], it's still horrifying to watch.

* Beavis' kidneys exploding in "Kidney". After refusing to go the bathroom for three days due to not wanting to give up the side of the couch without the spring sticking into his ass to Butt-Head, Beavis' kidneys burst, and we see the sheer force of the explosions as two large bumps spring out of his shirt. This is followed by him screaming in agony before collapsing onto the floor.

** Shall we mention that this is the ''only'' episode where Buzzcut is genuinely scared shitless and screaming in terror alongside the boys? It drives home the fact that even the toughest people on the planet (in this case, a Marine who is implied to be a war criminal) can break down if placed in imminent fear for his life.
