Recap / Beavis And Butthead S 10 E 21 Hoarders

Go To

Beavis and Butt-Head become hoarders, believing it'll help them score.


Tropes:

  • Becoming the Mask: The boys aren't hoarders, but they decide to pretend they are by filling their house up with trash in another attempt to score. Then Beavis swiftly develops a hoarder mindset when he insists that they keep a bunch of newspaper piles that he believes he might need (despite being completely illiterate), and refuses to move them even if they might be blocking to only way out of the house.
  • Help, I'm Stuck!: Multiple stacks of newspapers fall on top of Beavis, pinning him where he is. Meanwhile, a large pile of trash crumbles and buries Butt-Head as he tries to climb to freedom. Neither are able to move. Though the ending implies they eventually freed themselves considering their skeletons were found sitting on the couch.
  • Insane Troll Logic:
    • The two watch an episode of Hoarders and believe that it'll help them score because the loved ones embrace the hoarder.
    • The first thing they do is clean up the house and clear out all the garbage in it so they can have more room to fill the house up with garbage.
  • Never Learned to Read: Lampshaded by Butt-Head. Butt-Head brings up how Beavis should get rid of the newspapers, because he can't read to begin with. Beavis retorts he might learn to do it later on, perhaps using the newspapers as a guide.
  • Skewed Priorities After a certain point, Beavis becomes insanely defensive of a pile of newspapers, to the point where he would prefer they stay piled on where they are rather move them in the hope of leaving the house (and scoring with chicks).
  • They Killed Kenny Again: The two are buried under the refuse they find, and instead of escaping, they decide to stay. Ten years later, they are found as skeletons.
  • Time Skip: The episode ends with a jump to the year 2033, when the now dilapidated house is being torn down and the demolition crew discovers the skeletons of the boys.
  • Trash of the Titans: The boys fill their house up with all the garbage from the neighborhood. It's so bad that they're unable to find any of the exits and any attempt to climb out only results in the trash piles falling down and burying them. In the end, they're unable to get out and they ultimately starve to death.
