Beavis and Butt-Head (random sampling of early season 4 episodes)

(watching some crappy music video)
Beavis: "Whoa, check it out, Butt-Head! She's inspecting their nads."
Butt-Head: "You call those nads, sir? Drop and give me twenty."
Beavis: "Yeah, yeah. Back in line."
Butt-Head: "He's pretending to feel her butt."
Beavis: "She won't let him feel her butt because, like, he failed the nad inspection. Whoa! She just licked that dude's armpit!"
Butt-Head: "Yeah. The guy with the best nads gets his armpit licked."

synopsis: These are some early adventures of Beavis and Butt-Head.

impressions: This review covers all of the season 4 episodes available on Paramount Plus as of early August 2026. Most of these, I don't own on DVD/Bluray and some of them I had never seen before. This time, I couldn't help but notice how bad many music videos were back in the 1990s; seriously, some of them were little more than singers grunting and people running around looking stupid; it's no wonder that so many such videos were chosen to be ridiculed in this show. I will say that Paramount did better with this season - they have 21 of the total 32 season 4 episodes. Here are the episode synopses:

(4.1) Wall of Youth - they get forced into an artistic endeavor, which ends badly

(4.2) Cow Tipping - they try and fail cow tipping

(4.4) Rabies Scare - Beavis gets bitten by a dog and thinks he has rabies

(4.5) They're Coming to Take Me Away, Huh Huh - after failing to impress the school psychiatrist, they are put in a mental institution

(4.6) Jump! - they go to the bank to get money, and end up talking a banker off of the roof

(4.9) 1-900-BEAVIS - they become obsessed with 900 services>

(4.10) Water Safety - they cause all kinds of problems in a water class

(4.12) Late night With Butt-Head - they dream of being TV show hosts (note: one of the music videos and its commentary from episode 2.22 is re-used here

(4.13) The Final Judgement of Beavis - Beavis knocks himself out and hallucinates, while Butt-Head thinks he's dead and tries to bury him in the backyard
