Beavis mistakes a rabies bite for puberty.
Tropes:
- The Dog Bites Back: Pun not intended, but Beavis ends up biting and scratching the crap out of Butt-Head when his rabies gets worse.
- Framing Device: Beavis praying to God about wanting answers for his recent changes... which are really just rabies.
- Know When to Fold 'Em: Butt-head stops trying to fight Beavis when he realizes just how rabid Beavis has become after Butt-head gets scratched up and injured.
- Not So Stoic: Butt-Head looks genuinely terrified when Beavis attacks him.
- O.O.C. Is Serious Business: Thanks to his rabies, Beavis stops acting submissive to Butt-Head and attacks him with animalistic fury at the slightest provocation. It's enough to make the normally unflappable Butt-Head scared enough to decide to book it rather than keep on fighting.
- Recycled Premise: To the episode, "Rabies Scare", pretty much answering what would happen if Beavis really was sick.
- Screw This, I'm Outta Here: When Beavis attacks Butt-Head like a feral animal, the latter decides not to stick around and flees the house, telling Beavis he'll kick his ass later.
- Uncertain Doom: The episode ends with Beavis succumbing to his rabies and pouncing on Anderson, and it's never explained how Beavis got better.
- Whole-Plot Reference: To Judy Blume's "Are You There, God? It's Me, Margaret."
