Go To

Beavis believes he's pregnant after getting stomach cramps.


  • Big "NO!": Beavis does this after he believes he's passed a pregnancy test.
  • Bilingual Bonus: While he normally can't read English, Beavis can sort of read Spanish on the pregnancy test directions, which roughly translates to "before the test starts."
  • Continuity Nod: The tire marks from "Party" still remain on the lawn.
  • Dissonant Serenity: As usual, Butt-Head doesn't care about (or seem to notice) Beavis's problem, calmly sitting on the couch and eating doughnuts when he's screaming in the bathroom.
  • Good Girls Avoid Abortion: When scrolling through the channels, the boys watch a pro-life commercial where a couple learn they are about to have their fourth child. While the husband doubts they can afford to have it, his wife swears they'll find a way because "the more children they have, the more love." The commercial ends with the tagline "Life: The Beautiful Alternative."
  • I Have This Friend: Beavis asks Butt-Head "for a friend" what happens when you have babies. Butt-Head calls him a dumbass and tells him that you have to clean up bodily waste and give up "watching cool TV" for years.
  • Literal-Minded: Beavis temporarily calms down when Butt-Head tells him that dudes can't get pregnant. However, he later overhears a customer at Maxi Mart asking her friend "Why'd you get yourself pregnant?" His reaction: "You can get yourself pregnant? AUGGHH!"
  • Mistaken for Pregnant: The episode in a nutshell.
  • Mister Seahorse: Beavis runs to the toilet to give birth, only to find he was just very constipated.
  • Out-of-Character Moment: Likely due to the "pregnancy", Beavis refers to the two women at the Maxi Mart as "women" and not "chicks."
  • Pregnancy Test Plot: A woman stops at the Maxi Mart to buy a pregnancy test, which Beavis shoplifts. They say the test changes color if you're pregnant, and after Beavis pees on it, assumes it's positive because it's yellow.
  • Scare Chord: One of these plays whenever Beavis gets a pregnancy scare.
  • Screaming Birth:
    • The woman in the movie Beavis watches throughout the episode.
    • Beavis when he "gives birth."
  • Take That!:
    • The duo watch The Today Show at the end of the episode. Butt-Head says "they think they're cool, but they're really stupid."
    • Butt-Head says a downside to fatherhood is you have to watch nothing but Barney & Friends videos for years and years.
  • Wacky Cravings: Beavis thinks he has these because he impulsively picked up several cans of vegetables, and one of the women mentioned "cravings."
