Plot

Beavis and Butt-Head watch an episode of The Bachelor. While eating a chili dog, Beavis finds a piece of onion, which causes a tear to run down his eye. This drives Butt-head to believe that Beavis is crying because he finds the show sad. Much to Beavis's chagrin, Butt-Head tells Mr. Van Driessen, Coach Buzzcut, and the other students that Beavis cried, but Beavis denies.

Flashforwarding to 80 years later, the duo are seen sitting in wheelchairs in a retirement home where Butt-Head is still mocking Beavis for crying. Butt-Head then coughs and collapses; a cheered-up Beavis then laughs.

Reception

The episode was seen by 3,286,000 people in its initial airing.[1]

IGN praises the episode's gag and finale and says "The short culminates with in a hilarious finale and a gag that's simple, and a little cheap, but perfectly encapsulates the spirit of the unhinged duo."[2] HitFix comments on the episode's plot, saying "But whether they're causing headaches for others or just themselves, the two—and the show—remain very funny", later stating "Beavis and Butt-Head are who they've always been, for ill or (comedically) for good. I'm glad to have them back", when reviewing this episode and "Werewolves of Highland".[3] Assignment X said the episode was "at their simplistic best".[4]

gollark: > The language is unusual in having only one data type: a word, a fixed number of bits, usually chosen to align with the architecture's machine word and of adequate capacity to represent any valid storage address. For many machines of the time, this data type was a 16-bit word. This choice later proved to be a significant problem when BCPL was used on machines in which the smallest addressable item was not a word but a byte or on machines with larger word sizes such as 32-bit or 64-bit.[citation needed]
