Smart Beavis and Butt-Head abduct Tom Anderson for experimentation.
Tropes:
- Achievements in Ignorance: Anderson fixes the interdimensional boys' anal probing device without understanding what it even is, or that it's part of a vehicle capable of both space and dimensional travel.
- Anal Probing: What the boys intended to do to Anderson. It's the only kind of "scientific" experiment they can think of doing.
- Bizarre Alien Biology: Implied. Smart Beavis needs to ask how many anuses a human has.
- The Bus Came Back:
- Todd, McVicker, Buzzcut, and Mrs. Stevenson, or at least the Smart versions of them, return. Also the Smart version of the judge from Do the Universe and "Two Stupid Men" returns to preside over Smart Beavis and Butt-Head's trial.
- Perhaps the one cameo nobody expected was Daria, even being voiced by her original actress!
- Company Credit Card Abuse: The head of the council points out that instead of their mission, which was to explore the various universes, Smart Beavis and Smart Butthead ran up an expense account on space nachos and interstellar pornography.
- Continuity Nod: Their ship still is missing material from when they crashed it in "Home Aide."
- A Day in the Limelight: Smart Beavis and Butt-Head get an appearance that goes beyond a quick cameo.
- Disproportionate Retribution: The Supreme Leaders threaten Smart Beavis and Butt-head with death for spending two years wasting their time and money on nachos, porn, and observing Old Beavis and Butt-head, rather than have them do something more mundane or proportionate like community service to pay back their expenses.
- Evil Doppelgänger: Inverted. Smart Todd is a much more intelligent and lawful character than his main counterpart, with his eloquent defense of the law even earning him praise from Smart Daria. That being said, he's perfectly fine with putting Smart Beavis and Butt-head to death for their failure but at least this time it can be chalked up to him being willing to defend the system that the Smart duo abused, rather than for any petty or criminal reasons.
- Evil Laugh: Smart Beavis and Butt-Head don't laugh evilly per se. They just attach villainous descriptors to their usual expressions of amusement.Smart Butt-Head: Humorous, but also menacing, yes.
Smart Beavis: Yes, yes, mirthful and sinister as well, yes, yes. - Hoist by His Own Petard: Smart Beavis, delirious from the beam, sticks himself into the machine and turns it on, which probes his anus.
- Horrible Judge of Character: Tom Anderson assumes Smart Beavis and Butt-Head are members of the Elks Club who want to induct him for winning the chili cook-off.
- I Just Shot Marvin in the Face: Smart Butt-Head unknowingly holds his stun ray the wrong way and shoots Smart Beavis by accident. Later, he does the same thing with a memory-wiping device, erasing both he and Smart Beavis' memories when he was intending on inflicting amnesia on Anderson.
- Jerkass Ball: Smart Beavis and Butt-Head are normally pretty benign, but in this episode, they attempt to abduct Tom Anderson and perform scientific experiments on him via an anal-probing device. To be fair to them though, the supreme leaders of their planet are forcing them to do so under penalty of death, and they are quite polite to Tom Anderson, intending to wipe his mind after the fact.
- Leaning on the Fourth Wall: The Supreme Leaders mention how the duo were supposed to spend the last two years - roughly the amount of time since the revival has started airing - observing other universes, but in addition to spending all their money on nachos and porn, they also spent their time observing versions of themselves that were in middle age... at the height of their powers.
- Normal Fish in a Tiny Pond: Implied by their other appearances, this episode spells out how Smart Beavis and Butt-Head are losers in their home universe, but above average in ours.
- Planet of Hats: The world Smart Beavis and Butt-Head come from appears to be populated by ultra scientifically-minded big-brained geniuses who all attach the word "smart" to the beginnings of their names.
- Sesquipedalian Loquaciousness: Smart Todd is not only far more verbose than his original counterpart, he's more verbose than the rest of the supreme leaders combined.Smart Judge: This tribunal finds you guilty.
Smart McVicker: Guilty.
Smart Buzzcut: Guilty.
Smart Daria: Guilty.
Smart Van Driessen: Guilty, m'kay.
Smart Todd: Thoroughly at odds with the Deontological Theory of Law as put forth by Smart Immanuel Kant.
Smart Daria: Well put, Smart Todd. - The Unreveal: If Smart Beavis and Butt-Head were able to get their sentence commuted or not.
- What Happened to the Mouse?: It's never explained what happened to Serena Ryan.
