Beavis tries to hire somebody to kill Butt-Head.
Tropes:
- Disproportionate Retribution:
- Beavis decides to get back at Butt-Head slapping his sunburned back by killing him.
- Likewise, the contractors decide to beat up Beavis when he decides to cancel the "job" he hired them for just before they actually start it.
- The Dog Bites Back: The episode in a nutshell. Beavis can't take Butt-Head's insults anymore and decides to kill him.
- Embarrassingly Painful Sunburn: Beavis gets one of these because Butt-Head left him out in the heat all day, and didn't bother to check on him.
- Everyone Has Standards: Beavis actually feels guilty when it seems like Butt-Head is really about to get killed.
- The Ghost: Butt-Head apparently has an uncle; Beavis stole a picture of Butt-Head from his house.
- Karma Houdini: While Beavis spends the entire episode pissed at him enough to want his death, Butt-Head actually ends up unscathed. Beavis feels remorse and tries to call off the hit; the painters start to beat him up for it. Butt-Head even suggests they could slap his sunburn, as that makes him hurt more.
- My God, What Have I Done?: Beavis starts having second thoughts about ordering a hit on Butt-Head, and when the contractors show up to do the "job" (which is just to do some unspecified renovation on the house), he tries to call it off.
- No-Holds-Barred Beatdown: The painters deliver one to Beavis when the latter cancels the "job" he assigned them for.
- One Dialogue, Two Conversations: Beavis talks to a man at the diner, thinking he's a hitman, and asks for a job. The man assumes Beavis is looking for something physical-related and points him to the hardware store. The same thing happens when Beavis speaks to the store assistant. The former thinks he's ordering an assassination; the latter thinks he's being called on to do some work on the house.
- Professional Killer: Beavis tries to hire one of these to kill Butt-Head, but he mistakes a painter for one. To him, a hitman is always bald and wears all black, much like "the guy from Goodfellas."
- Rage Breaking Point: After getting his sunburn slapped by Butt-Head one too many times, Beavis declares he has enough and intends to kill Butt-Head.
- Tranquil Fury: Beavis acts calm when he threatens Butt-Head as he's getting slapped on his sunburn. He keeps this up as he decides to kill him.
- Ungrateful Bastard: Beavis tries to save Butt-Head from the "hitmen", only for Butt-Head to suggest to the men to hit Beavis on his sunburn as it makes him hurt more.
- Would Hurt a Child: The painters have no issue attacking Beavis, a teenager, all because he reconsidered the "job".
