115. Beavis and Butt-head Do America (1996)

February 21, 2014

Beavis and Butt-head Do America worked pretty well as an extended episode of the show. In the same way as The Simpsons movie, or any other movie based on an animated TV show goes, it could just as easily have worked as a 3 or 4 part mini-series of episodes instead of a feature length film. Regardless, it was an entertaining movie. In typical Beavis and Butt-head fashion, this movie was centered around their television. Only this time their television was stolen, so they set out on an adventure to get their TV back (or at least watch someone else's). When they show up at a motel that advertises that they have TV, they unwittingly get involved in a man's (Bruce Willis) plot to kill his wife (Demi Moore). He tells them he will pay them to do his wife, and they think they are going to get paid to score with his wife, so they agree and head off to find her. When they do find her, she figures out what they are doing and immediately realizes how stupid they are, so she makes them the mule in her own agenda to carry a terrible virus into Washington D.C. With the police hot on their tails doing cavity searches on everyone who gets in their way, they manage to get to Washington while still hoping to score and watch TV. Eventually everything works out, and although they still never score, they do find their old TV and all goes back to normal.
