Recap / Beavis And Butthead S 10 E 06 Pardon Our Dust

Go To

Old Beavis and Butt-Head unwittingly get their house demolished in exchange for beer money.


Tropes:

  • The Bus Came Back: The head of the city council is also the foreman from "Two Stupid Men" who was also highly annoyed by Old Beavis.
  • Comically Small Bribe: The duo will help the man demolish their house... in exchange for what amounts less than fifty dollars worth of beer money, rather than ask for a condo of their own.
  • Crooked Contractor: The man wants to destroy the low income housing apartments, which would harm not just Old Beavis and Butt-Head but the other residents, so he can build condos in its place.
  • Failed a Spot Check: Old Beavis and Butthead have gotten so stupid that they couldn't even recognize the housing complex they agree to demolish is their home. When it's time for their home to be demolished, they don't notice the demolition crew destroying the complex despite getting multiple eviction notes on their door, which they don't bother reading. After the pair leave to buy beer and they return to their home, the complex is destroyed by a wrecking ball while the pair happily cheer for its destruction. After the demolition is complete, the pair try to return home, completely oblivious to the fact that they no longer have a home and they sit on the rubble drinking beer wondering where their home is.
  • Gone Horribly Right: The pair do succeed in getting their apartment destroyed, and end up homeless, living on the rubble.
  • Manipulative Bastard: It's implied the man knew that Old Beavis and Butt-Head were the residents of the low income housing complex, and purposefully made them seem annoying to the city council in order to get them evicted.
  • Mind over Matter: Smart Beavis and Smart Butt-Head fly on a comet at the beginning of the episode, but resort to this when they don't know how to steer it. Unfortunately, they splat on the moon.
  • Pyromaniac: Being egged on, Beavis's entire speech to the city council amounts to wanting to burn everything and anything. Old Butt-Head even yields his time just to continue listening to him rant. Unfortunately, this works against him as it just convinces the city council to tear down the apartment.
  • Real Joke Name: The city council assumes Old Beavis and Butt-Head are using fake names.
