Beavis and Butt-Head are progressively demoted to kindergarten.


Tropes

  • Does Not Like Spam: Butt-Head spits out one of the teacher's cookies in disgust.
    Butt-Head These cookies suck! You have any, like, nachos?
  • Held Back in School: Beavis and Butt-Head are so stupid that they get demoted to kindergarten. Of course, it doesn't last.
  • Kicked Upstairs: Principal Brown sends Beavis and Butt-Head back to high school as "star pupils" to keep them away from the elementary school.
    McVicker: Star pupils, my ass! These two boys are morons!
    Brown: You just weren't reaching them. They learned everything they're gonna learn in elementary school. Now their young minds need room to grow, so we graduated them early. And we're not taking them back!
  • Kiddie Kid: Despite being a teenager, Beavis shows excitement for coloring time.
    Beavis: (clenches his fists and shakes in excitement) Yeah, yeah, yeah! Coloring! Yeah!
  • Not So Above It All: McVicker and Buzzcut start laughing like Beavis and Butt-Head as they have the two demoted to the elementary school, thus finally being able to get rid of them.
  • One of the Kids: Unlike Butt-Head, Beavis is actually shown to be having fun with their kindergarten classmates.
  • Rage Breaking Point: The kindergarten teacher was rather tolerant of Beavis and Butt-Head's behavior, but she eventually loses it when they start a spitting frenzy across the room.
    Teacher: (to Principal Brown) Either get these imbeciles out of my class, or get yourself a new kindergarten teacher!
  • Status Quo Is God: Beavis and Butt-Head are sent back to high school as the elementary school couldn't take them any longer.
  • Tempting Fate: The kindergarten teacher tells Butt-Head that she doesn't like spitting because it can spread germs. Beavis, upon hearing this, creates a spitting frenzy across the room with Butt-Head.
  • Tranquil Fury: The kindergarten teacher when Butt-Head spits out one of her cookies.
    Teacher: And I don't like spitting. Spitting can spread germs.
