Recap / Beavis And Butt Head S 0 E 1 Frog Baseball

Go To

Airdate: September 22nd, 1992

The boys play a twisted baseball game using a frog as the ball.


Tropes:

  • Black Comedy Animal Cruelty: The boys catch a frog and use it as a baseball. At the end, they spot a poodle and hit it with their bats.
  • Characterization Marches On: Butt-Head is noticeably more prone to shouting compared to The Stoic he eventually became.
  • Credits Gag: In one version: "No animals were harmed in the making of this film... except for Beavis."
  • Early-Installment Weirdness:
    • Butt-Head has a very different voice compared to the one he has in the series. Beavis, meanwhile, sounds nothing like he eventually does.
    • The animation is much cruder, with oddities such as the duo having smaller heads when they play frog baseball.
    • A McDonald's restaurant can be seen in the background. The series would instead use Burger World.
    • The title card is a still image.
  • The Ghost: Mrs. Higgins herself is not shown.
  • Kick the Dog: Beavis and Butt-Head abuse both a random frog and Mrs. Higgins' poodle for fun.
  • Recycled Animation: The animation of the boys yelling "FROG BASEBALL!" is reused when they yell "DOG BASEBALL!"
  • They Killed Kenny Again: Butt-Head manages to whack Beavis through the head with his bat. The latter comes back in the next scene, alive and well.
  • To Be Continued: A "To be continued..." card plays as the boys abuse the poodle.
