Beavis and Butt-Head don't want to learn about evolution.


  • Big "SHUT UP!": McVicker during the meeting.
  • The Bus Came Back: The Positive Acting Teens return for the first time in the revival. Stewart is still friends with them.
  • Call-Back: Buzzcut attempts to show the class how to start a wrestling match, similar to what happened in "Spanish Fly", which Beavis and Butt-Head don't understand.
  • Comically Missing the Point: The Positive Acting Teens believe Beavis and Butt-Head got suspended for their creationist beliefs, not for being lazy.
  • Creepy Gym Coach: Invoked. The duo think this after watching Buzzcut demonstrate how to start a wrestling match.
    Butt-Head: Woah! You're definitely going to Hell!
  • Gilligan Cut: Butt-Head suggests they go to McVicker and tell him he's going to Hell. Cue the next scene where they got suspended.
  • Gone Horribly Right: The Positive Active Teens encourage Beavis and Butt-Head to avoid learning what they can't understand, specifically evolution. However, the duo takes this literally and proceeds to skip all their classes because they're too stupid to understand them.
  • Running Gag: The duo telling teachers they'll go to Hell.
  • Sarcasm Mode: The science teacher when she has to teach creationism.
  • Screw This, I'm Outta Here: Beavis and Butt-Head do this throughout the episode because of the belief that "if you can't understand it, then it must not be true."
  • Take a Third Option: Van Driessen suggests that since they can't agree to disagree, both sides should compromise. They come to the conclusion that the students don't have to learn about evolution if they don't want to. Unfortunately, the entire class chose this option, believing they would get out of doing their schoolwork. Instead, they have to learn about creationism.
  • Take That!: To creationism.
