Go To

Beavis and Butt-Head mistake a polling place for a strip club.


Tropes:

  • Book Dumb: Beavis and Butt-Head mistake Ronald Reagan for a stripper.
  • Dramatic Irony: At the end, the duo comes across an actual strip club (with free entrances for those with voting pins, which the two have), only to mistake it as another "rip-off" and leave.
    Butt-Head: We're not falling for that again. Sorry, dumbasses. We, like, outsmarted you.
    Beavis: Really. How dumb do we look?
  • Election Day Episode: This episode takes place during election day.
  • Never Learned to Read: The whole episode came to play because the two misread "Polling Place" as "Polling Palace", slang for strip club.
  • One Dialogue, Two Conversations:
    • The duo meets up with an elderly man, who talks to them about elections. They think he's talking about strippers.
      Butt-Head: We're, like, really into it.
      Man: Well, good for you, boys. Now, I wasn't interested in any of this stuff until Ronald Reagan.
      Butt-Head: Oh, yeah? Is she a slut?
      Beavis: Yeah, yeah. I bet Ronald Reagan has big hooters.
      Butt-Head: I hope she's in there shaking her butt.
    • Later, the two tell an elderly lady that they voted for a stripper. The lady thinks they are using it as slang for a female candidate.
      Lady: If you filled out a ballot and then put it in that box, then you voted.
      Butt-Head: Yeah, for a stripper.
      Lady: Look, I didn't think she was a great candidate either, but she's better than the one we've got.
      Butt-Head: Is this because Beavis didn't put in enough money?
