"Crying (Beavis and Butt-Head)"

"Crying" is the second episode of Season 8 and 202nd episode overall of the American animated television series Beavis and Butt-Head. It aired alongside "Werewolves of Highland" on October 27, 2011 on MTV.

Plot

Beavis and Butt-head watch an episode of The Bachelor. While eating a chili dog, Beavis finds an onion, which causes a tear to run down his eye. Later when they are in school, Butt-head makes fun of Beavis and announces to Mr. Van Driessen and the other students that he cried, which annoys Beavis. During gym class, Butt-head annoys Beavis to the point that he tries to attack him, but Coach Buzzcut intervenes by grabbing him. Cutting to 80 years later, the duo are seen in a retirement home, where Butt-head is still giving Beavis a hard time for "crying", but he dies shortly afterward, much to Beavis's delight.

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]
