Go To

Burger World gets robbed.


  • Achievements in Ignorance: Beavis and Butt-Head don't realize they're being robbed, only managing to alert the cop because Butt-Head asks the robber to quit pointing the gun at him.
  • Bottle Episode: The episode takes place solely at Burger World.
  • Caught Up in a Robbery: The duo gets robbed at Burger World, but they are too stupid to realize the severity of the situation. Butt-Head was perfectly willing to give the robber the money when asked.
  • Comically Missing the Point: Until the robber reveals his gun.
  • Dramatic Irony: The duo thinks they have the power to arrest whoever they want because they made a citizens arrest.
  • Laser-Guided Karma: The duo spent the episode harassing people. In the end, they try to arrest the cop from earlier and get beaten to a pulp for their troubles.
  • No-Holds-Barred Beatdown: The cop from the beginning of the episode kicks the two silly because they try to arrest him.
  • Rule of Three: Beavis and Butt-Head attempt to arrest three people: an older man who looks suspicious, a buxom woman who threw a napkin on the ground, and the cop from earlier.
  • Screw This, I'm Outta Here: Beavis and Butt-Head harass a customer they think looks suspicious, so he decides to go somewhere else.
  • Skewed Priorities:
    • Beavis and Butt-Head are bummed that the officer came back for his free refill instead of relieved that he arrived in time for the robbery.
    • Butt-Head is less scared about being shot and more annoyed with being poked with the gun.
  • Spanner in the Works: Beavis and Butt-Head were completely oblivious about what was really going on, yet they still manage to expose the robber when Butt-Head tells him to quit pointing his gun at him.
  • Ungrateful Bastard: When the officer arrives in time for the robbery, Beavis and Butt-Head complain that he wants a free refill.
