I have a question regarding an episode Beavis and Butthead called "Breakdown" where Beavis and Butt-Head's inane laughter over the intercom finally drives Principal Mc Vicker to suffer a terrible mental breakdown and has to be institutionalized. This of course is after years of having to deal with Beavis and Buthead's crap. The guy just finally loses it pretty much has a serious break from reality.
What trope does this type of emotional/psychological meltdown fit under? And what are some similar examples?
