Beavis and Butt-Head attempt to egg a house.


Tropes:

  • Egging: The episode's plot. The pair attempt to egg a house, but suffer from poor aim.
  • Epic Fail: The pair's attempt to egg their neighbors' house is pretty bad due to how bad their aim is and their throws not reaching the house and they even managed to get egg on themselves. For their second attempt at egging, they try kicking the eggs toward the house, but all their kicks miss the eggs and Beavis ends up slipping on the egg yolks and falls on the rest of the eggs. When Butt-Head first tries teepeeing their house, Butt-Head throws it at a tree, but it falls off the branch and rolls into a sewer drain.
  • Evil Cannot Comprehend Good: Per usual, Beavis and Butt-Head believe the couple is lame, given their friendliness towards them. They even misinterpret the couple's sincere gratitude for them cleaning up the toilet paper from their lawn as the couple stealing "their" toilet paper.
  • Horrible Judge of Character: The new neighbors presume that Beavis and Butt-Head are nice boys, much like Tom Anderson. For their part, they mention they weren't able to have children of their own and wouldn't mind treating Beavis and Butt-Head as the children they never had.
  • May I Borrow a Cup of Sugar?: The new neighbors bring up this trope when Beavis and Butt-Head ask for more things.
  • Pathetically Weak: The boys can't throw eggs far enough to even hit the house from the front lawn. Every egg comes up too short.
  • Soapbox Sadie: One of the boys's classmates chastises them for using toilet paper to prank a house when there's a nationwide toilet paper shortage, and tells them to keep up with the news.
  • Toilet Paper Prank: When the egging doesn't work, they resort to trying to throw toilet paper on the house. It works the second time. The neighbors simply presume that the pair cleaned up after two hoodlum boys.
  • Ungrateful Bastard: The couple only ever shows kindness and generosity to the boys, giving them everything they ask for and even baking them some cookies without asking for anything in return. Beavis and Butt-Head still try to vandalize their home on the basis that they believe the couple sucks.
