Beavis gets stuck in the copy machine after he tries to take a picture of his butt.


  • Accidental Hero: After so many delays in extracting Beavis, it's Butt-Head who saves the day when he activates the machine because he wanted to see Beavis' "female artery". It knocks the boy out with damaging the machine and reveals that his femoral artery was not pierced; he just suffered rectal lacerations.
  • Apathetic Citizens: None of the teachers care that Beavis is injured; they only care about getting their copy machine back.
  • Bait-and-Switch: The repairman objects to the firemen taking the carriage off the copy machine. Not because it could potentially put Beavis' safety at risk, but because it could delay the use of the copy machine for at least another three days.
  • Cheek Copy: Deconstructed, as Beavis breaks through the machine and gets severely injured.
  • Here We Go Again!: Butt-Head gets Beavis to copy his butt again to see the stitches, which ends up breaking the machine again.
  • Jerkass Has a Point: McVicker, while just as callous as the other teachers, was right to call out Beavis for his stunt, since he disobeyed orders and ended up wasting everyone's time.
    McVicker: You're lucky you almost died, or you would be in big trouble. (briefly thinks about what he said before continuing) If you ever try to copy your butt again, I will have you expelled from the entire school system!
  • No Sympathy: None of the staff members care about Beavis' predicament at all; they only want him out because they need to use the copy machine themselves.
  • Skewed Priorities: The school faculty is not happy with Beavis getting stuck in the copy machine at all... because they have their own documents to copy and he's holding them up. And they refuse to let the firemen take him out safely because doing so would delay their use of it even more.
  • Surprisingly Realistic Outcome: Beavis jumps on top of the copy machine, and due to his weight, he breaks through the glass, possibly potentially cutting his femoral artery.
  • Tempting Fate:
    • Buzzcut attempts to avert this by telling Beavis not to copy his butt.
    • McVicker also attempts to avert this by threatening to expel Beavis if he tries to copy his butt again. Of course, Beavis still doesn't listen.
  • Too Dumb to Live: Even after getting freed from the copy machine, Beavis decides to sit on it again anyway, severely injuring himself once more.
  • What the Hell, Hero?: McVicker singles out Beavis for his stupidity and threatens to expel him if he ever sits on the copy machine again.
