  Butt-Head: We ate a lot of Burger World food, and now we're fat.
• Comically Missing the Point:
  • This exchange at the beginning of the episode:
    Butt-Head: And once you're famous—
    Beavis: Yeah, you get to eat more.
  • Beavis and Butt-Head decide to eat at Burger World every day to become famous like Morgan Spurlock, not realizing that the actual purpose of his documentary was to advise people against eating fast food every day.
  • The general public (Van Driessen in particular) misinterprets the duo's attempt to get famous by binge-eating at Burger World as a campaign against teen obesity.
• Corrupt Corporate Executive: The executives at both Burger World and Taco Yummo are presented as being willing to slander rival corporations to avoid bad publicity.

• Fat and Proud: Beavis and Butt-Head don't mind their excess weight gain, with Butt-Head saying, "Teen obesity kicks ass."

  Butt-Head: Yeah, more food for us.

• Mistaken for Profound: Everyone thinks that Beavis and Butt-Head are trying to expose the fast food industry for its obesity impacts.
