![]() ![]() After hearing what the children's father told them, they realize that tonight is Halloween. Mistaking them for handing out samples, Butt-head takes their candy and slams the door in their faces, and soon their father takes it back and beats them up, while sarcastically telling them to have a happy Halloween. So, watch these fools, and watch them well, you will not regret it.The episode starts with Beavis and Butt-head watching a horror film, when two kids trick-or-treating show up at their door. Is there anything wrong with that? Methinks not. This might be a bit of a stretch, but I almost view them as the 90s version of Lenny and George from "Of Mice and Men." These are just two guys who are trying to figure out life and laughing the whole way through. Although they wreak havoc and destroy all that is good, Beavis and Butt-Head endure as good people (in some sense) because they are completely confident in themselves, they do not really have bad feelings towards anyone, and even though we might consider their lives to be meager and pathetic, they are really happy with what they have, they do not think less of themselves, and they (in their own ways) try to improve themselves (like trying to pick up chicks). But at the same time, Beavis and Butt-Head can be seen as a positive spin on that indifferent generation. On one level it is about two stupid teenagers who have nothing better to do than laugh, and so it serves as a critique to the general apathy of that early 90s generation. But Beavis and Butt-Head goes much deeper than a lot of people give it credit for. While those claims do have reason behind them, often times the people saying these things have not given this show a fair analysis, taking it simply for what it appears to be. Beavis and Butt-Head is often times misconstrued as a terribly immature, offensive, and vulgar show. ![]()
