2[[caption-width-right:500:''"Move it over dad 'cause I'm a double-dipper! Upside down on the zip-zip-zipper! 1, 2, 1, 2, 3, I've got a ticket so ride with me!"'']]
3* Butt-Head is not exactly Sherlock when it comes to gathering evidence. After observing broken glass, footprints leading up to where the TV was, the open door ''and'' the burglars themselves throwing the TV in their van? "[[FailedASpotCheck This sucks]]."
4* The TitleSequence casts the boys in a Series/StarskyAndHutch-esque 1970s cop show, where they score with chicks, kick ass and escape big explosions. The very first image after the sequence ends? The boys digging through the garbage looking for a TV.
5* Muddy drops the boys off at the airport to go do the job on Dallas. Butt-Head can't believe they're going to "get paid to score." He's ComicallyMissingThePoint, and then Beavis misses it even further:
6-->'''Beavis:''' Yeah! Heh heh heh! And then we're gonna get a big screen TV! Heh heh. [[InsaneTrollLogic With two remotes!]]
7* This little exchange between Flemming and Bork:
8-->'''Agent Flemming:''' Did you give him a [[AssShove cavity search]]?\
9'''Agent Bork:''' Uh, the witness?\
10'''Agent Flemming:''' [[InsaneTrollLogic Damn it, Bork! You can never be too careful!]]
11** This actually becomes a running gag, Agent Flemming orders cavity searches for nearly every person they interrogate during their investigation, including the elderly passengers on the America Tours bus, Mr. Anderson and Butt-Head. This culminates in a brilliant punch line after Butt-Head's cavity search:
12--->'''Butt-Head:''' Uhhh... did I just score?
13** According to Judge, he was at one point approached by Robert Stack (Agent Flemming) who joked "So, uh...this script is all about cavity searches, is it?"
14** At the very end of the movie, Butt-Head [[BrickJoke remarks that his butt is still sore]].
15* The exchange between Butt-Head & a pilot after Butt-Head [[FallingIntoTheCockpit falls into the cockpit]] while the plane is plummeting. All while Beavis is happily jabbering away beside them as he watches the plane nosedive.
16-->'''Pilot:''' Get the hell out of the cockpit!\
17'''Butt-Head:''' [[HehHehYouSaidX Huh huh... you said--]]\
18'''Pilot:''' NOW!!! ''(pulls Butt-Head out of the way)''
19* This exchange.
20-->'''Agent Bork:''' You know that guy whose camper they were whacking off in?\
21'''Agent Flemming:''' Bork! You are a federal agent. You represent the United States government. ''[[PrepositionsAreNotToEndSentencesWith Never end a sentence with a preposition!]]''\
22'''Bork:''' Oh, uh... You know that guy in whose camper they... I mean, that guy off in whose camper they were whacking?
23* The Franchise/{{Godzilla}}-themed opening sequence. The visual of Beavis breathing fire at his enemies is just amazing.
24** You can almost hear the soldiers screaming from the fire, which Beavis just responds to by muttering "Butthole".
25* The road trip montage on the America Tour bus, which includes such gems as Beavis and Butt-Head being more interested in a donkey taking a crap than the Grand Canyon, them laughing at various dirty-sounding road signs, such as "Butte" and "Big Piney" and "Bald Knob", and headbanging to the montage music.
26-->'''Beavis:''' ''(reading a sign saying Meeteetse)'' Me tee pee.
27* When they arrive at Yellowstone National Park, the duo are absolutely ''mesmerized'' by the motion controlled flushing for the park urinals, to the point where they stay in there so long that the bus leaves without them.
28** Funnier when you consider that moments before, they were dismissing the Old Faithful geyser.
29--->'''Ranger:''' There are over 200 active geysers in Yellowstone Park. Old Faithful here is one of the largest. During an eruption, the geyser can reach as high as 200 feet.\
30'''Butt-Head:''' So?\
31'''Ranger:''' The - the geyser shoots out over 12,000 gallons in a single eruption.\
32'''Beavis:''' That's not that much, really.
33* When the tour bus arrives at the Hoover Dam:
34--> '''Butt-Head:''' We're in Washington.\
35'''Beavis:''' Yea, we're gonna score now.\
36'''Old lady:''' Actually sons, we're at the Hoover Dam.\
37'''Beavis:''' Uh, no. We're in WASHINGTON!\
38'''Butt-Head:''' WE'RE GONNA SCORE NOW!
39* When the two end up on a bus full of nuns on their way to New Mexico, Beavis is taken in by having the Bible read to him, since "there's this talking snake, and a naked chick, and a dude who puts a leaf on his schlong".
40* The boys ComicallyMissingThePoint when Muddy is getting ready to shoot them.
41-->'''Muddy:''' Oh, I'm gonna enjoy this. AnyLastWords\
42'''Butt-Head:''' Uh, I have a couple. Butt cheeks.\
43'''Beavis:''' Yeah, um, and boobs! I just wanna say that again. Boobs!
44* Mr. Van Dressen tells the boys, currently trying to steal the school's TV from the A/V room, "We don't need TV to entertain us."
45-->'''Butt-Head:''' He said "anus".\
46'''Beavis:''' Enter-tain us, anus, yeah!\
47'''Mr. Van Dressen:''' Have you guys heard a word I've said?\
48'''Butt-Head:''' Uh, yeah. Anus.
49** In the DVDCommentary, Mike Judge cited that as the line he was proudest of.
50--->'''Mike Judge:''' I remember when I was writing the script, I wrote that right there and thought, "okay, I've done a good day's work."
51** The two promptly smash the TV on the pavement outside by accident. Their response to Principal [=McVicker=] coming out and getting upset is just perfect.
52--->'''Butt-Head (blithely walking away):''' Uhhh... that belongs to the school.\
53'''Beavis (following):''' Yeah, heh heh. [[ImplausibleDeniability It's supposed to be in the A/V room. Wasn't our fault.]]
54* The DeletedScene of Beavis using the Declaration Of Independence as toilet paper. It's even more hilarious that there was a security guard standing right there, fast asleep, who didn't notice Beavis smashing the display case with a flagpole and stealing the document until the alarm sounded.
55* The montage of the two arriving at the luxurious hotel and casino they're staying at and spending most of it staring and giggling at a topless Egyptian statue, to the tunes of Music/RedHotChiliPeppers' cover of "Love Rollercoaster" by The Ohio Players.
56* Cornholio!Beavis standing in front of a photo/painting of Richard Nixon.
57-->'''Cornholio:''' ARE YOU THREATENING ME?!
58* UsefulNotes/BillClinton giving a touching, grateful speech to the two after they foiled Muddy's and Dallas's plot. Their reaction?
59-->'''Butt-Head:''' "Huhuh, he said extend."
60* Beavis and Butt-Head fighting over who "gets to go first" with Dallas. It's even more hilarious that Beavis doesn't have any pants on during the brawl.
61-->'''Beavis:''' You always go first!\
62'''Butt-Head:''' Damn it, Beavis, we've never done this before!
63** Before that, after hearing Muddy is paying them $10,000 to "do" her, Dallas offers double that amount if they "do" him. [[OneDialogueTwoConversations Given he thinks "do" means "have sex with"]], Butt-head is unenthusiastic about the idea. Beavis, on the other hand...
64-->'''Beavis''': I don't know, Butt-head, that is a lot of money. Maybe if we close our eyes and pretend he's a chick--''*[[DopeSlap whack]]*''
65* When the two are about to die of dehydration in the desert, they spend what may be their last few moments alive... giggling at two vultures having sex.
66** Later in that same scene, Beavis has his MushroomSamba from eating a peyote cactus.
67* Beavis thinks Seattle is in Washington, D.C. and suggests that they go see Hole after they score.
68* Their escape from Muddy's car while it's moving on the interstate. This involves Butt-Head pushing Beavis out of the trunk and then falling out himself when the car hits a road bump. They end up causing a huge car pileup, including crashing Tom Anderson's trailer.
69* Beavis/Cornholio jacking off in Anderson's camper, complete with music that makes the scene ten times funnier.[[note]]"Mucha Muchacha" by Esquivel, of all songs![[/note]] And Anderson's reaction when he finds Beavis.
70-->'''Anderson:''' "Pull your damn pants up, boy! I don't want to see that! Dammit, get out of here! And if I ever catch you whackin' in here again, I'm gonna hog-tie you!"
71** Not to mention Beavis's reaction to getting caught:
72--->'''Beavis:''' " Heh-heh, heh-heh. How's it going?" *continues whacking*
73** Before going to "whack off," there's a bit where Beavis looks at the photo of Dallas and Anderson's camper. The film cuts between the two objects repeatedly until suddenly cutting to [[VisualInnuendo the Washington Monument]], accompanied by Beavis/Cornholio saying "Boi-oi-oing!"
74* When Flemming demands that Beavis show him the unit, he snaps out of Cornholio mode just long enough to say "Why does everyone want to see my schlong?"
75* Butt-Head makes a pass at Chelsea Clinton...[[DestinationDefenestration and promptly gets thrown out the window]]. Only to be surrounded by more than a dozen ATF agents.
76* When touring the Hoover Dam:
77-->'''Beavis:''' Uh, is this a God dam?
78** [[WordOfGod Mike Judge]] says that he's amazed how many people tell him that was one of the funniest jokes in the movie.
79* Beavis and Butt-Head getting on the PA at the US Senate, announcing their intentions to do it with Dallas for all of the Senate to hear. Who all then start laughing like Beavis and Butt-Head.
80* Beavis' "We're Never Gonna Score" scene manages to be both [[TearJerker sad]] and [[SugarWiki/FunnyMoments hilarious]] at the same time. Even more so because, despite the sophomoric subject matter and his own crude vocabulary, the music swells like it's some powerful, moving inspirational speech. Especially this part:
81-->'''Beavis:''' Look at this guy - he's old, but he's probably scored a million times!\
82'''Old Guy:''' ''(proudly)'' Oh ''yeah...''
83** Special mention goes to the music in that scene. It sounds tragic, dramatic, and [[SeriousBusiness juxtaposes perfectly with Beavis ranting]] about how they're never gonna score.
84* Butt-Head playing with a car jack while in the trunk of Muddy's car.
85-->'''Butt-Head:''' Huh huh, check it out Beavis. I'm jacking off.
86* Cornholio in the Oval Office. On the Red Phone. HilarityEnsues.
87** More specifically, when the general who answers the phone, likely expecting orders from the President, is understandably confused to hear some lunatic introducing himself as "Cornholio" and rambling incoherently about his bunghole. About five seconds into this "conversation," said soldier [[BreakingTheFourthWall looks directly at the camera]] with a [[YouHaveGotToBeKiddingMe "You have GOT to be kidding me"]] look on his face.
88--->'''Soldier:''' Sir, we're awaiting your final orders.\
89'''Beavis/Cornholio:''' I order you to surrender your TP!
90** Shortly after, Beavis/Cornholio manages to charm several ''world leaders'' with his insane caffeine/sugar-induced ravings. The fact that they were actually willing to give him the time of day is both hilarious and weirdly heartwarming.
91-->'''Foreign Diplomat''': "TP for my bunghole?"
92-->'''Beavis''': Hehehh...yeah yeah, TP for my bunghole!
93** And the standoff between the ATF and Beavis is worth mentioning:
94--->'''Agent Flemming:''' This is your last chance, give us the unit now.\
95'''Beavis:''' (breaking out of his Cornholio persona briefly): Why does everybody want to see my schlong?
96* The duo are walking through the desert.
97-->'''Butt-Head:''' This desert is stupid. They need to put a drinking fountain out here.\
98'''Beavis:''' Yeah, yeah. Or, like a 7-Eleven or something.
99** "The sun sucks."
100* The boys wind up at a Catholic church and go into the confessionals, thinking they're porta-potties. That's not the best part: they stay in there long enough to ''take confessions'' from random people.
101-->'''Random dude''' Forgive me, Father, I've sinned. I, uh... I slept with a woman, and-\
102'''Butt-Head''' Really? Uh huh huh. Was she naked? Uh huh huh huh.\
103'''Random dude''' Uh... yes, Father. Please forgive me, I-\
104'''Butt-Head''' Cool! Uh huh huh. Could you, like, see her boobs??\
105''[over in the other booth]''\
106'''Older random dude''' ...uh, I'm sorry. How many "Hail Marys"?\
107'''Beavis''' A thousand!! Heh heh heh! And I want you to [[ComedicSociopathy hit yourself! Right now!]] Heh.\
108'''Older random dude''' Uh, now?\
109'''Beavis''' Yeah! DO IT! Heh heh.\
110'''Older random dude''' [punch] Ow!\
111'''Beavis''' Yeah yeah yeah, harder!!!\
112'''Older random dude''' [punch] Ow!!!\
113'''Beavis''' Do it again!!!\
114'''Older random dude''' [whack] AGH!!!
115** Afterwards, they both get struck with a BoltOfDivineRetribution...and don't even notice.
116** Beavis telling the older guy to hit himself is laced with FridgeBrilliance as it's kind of a riff on self-flagellation, practiced by some religions.
117** After the nuns finally have enough of them and leave them behind in the Petrified Forest in Arizona, both Beavis and Butt-Head realize they've gotten very sidetracked and ask the next guy they see for the direction to Washington.
118--->'''Passersby:''' Uh yeah, [[DeadpanSnarker about 2000 miles that way!]] *gestures in a general northeastern direction*\
119'''Butt-Head:''' [[SarcasmBlind Uh, thanks dude!]] [[TooDumbToLive *the two wander off aimlessly into the Arizona desert*]]
120* One scene has Agent Flemming giving a dramatic speech about how fragile the X-5 unit is and how if it's broken or damaged, it'll wipe out huge swathes of America. The very next cut shows the X-5 unit sewn into the seat of Beavis's pants, with Butt-Head kicking it repeatedly.
121* Butt-Head draining all the water in Hoover Dam's reservoir, causing unspeakable destruction because he thought the "master station control" console read "masturbation control" and started fiddling with it. Meanwhile, Mr. Anderson and his wife are parked downriver and get washed away by the ensuing flood.
122* The old woman Beavis and Butt-Head first meets on the flight to Las Vegas. Due to her poor hearing, she ''badly'' misjudges Beavis and Butt-Head's characters.
123-->'''Old Lady:''' I'll mostly be doing the slots!\
124'''Beavis:''' Heh, I'm hoping to be doing some sluts too! They got a lot of sluts in Las Vegas?\
125'''Lady:''' Oh, they got so many slots you don't know where to begin!\
126'''Beavis:''' Woah! Hey, Butt-Head, this chick is pretty cool! She says there's going to be tons of sluts in Las Vegas!\
127'''Butt-Head:''' Cool!\
128'''Lady:''' [[ComicallyMissingThePoint It's nice to meet young men, who are so well-mannered!]]
129** She's the one who causes Beavis to regress into Cornholio on the plane, due to trying to help him calm down from his fear of flying by offering him some Xanax. It's actually a bottle of [[MustHaveCaffeine energy pills.]]
130** After meeting up with Dallas, who gives them tickets to the America Tour bus (as part of her plot against Grimes), the old lady turns out to be one of the passengers.
131--->'''Lady:''' Did you have any luck in Vegas?\
132'''Beavis:''' We didn't score yet.\
133'''Lady:''' Oh, well, sorry to hear that. Me, I took a beating! *chuckles*\
134'''Butt-Head:''' Cool!
