Abduction is the twenty-third episode of Season 10 and the 268th overall episode of Beavis and Butt-Head.
Synopsis[]
Smart Beavis and Butt-Head try in vain to abduct an Earthling for experimentation.
Plot[]
Smart Beavis and Butt-Head are being called in by the Council of Supreme Leaders, expecting a reward for their achievements in space. Instead, they are being put on trial for wasting their time observing middle-aged Beavis and Butt-Head besides running up an expense account for space nachos and pornography. They are sentenced to death but their sentence will be suspended on the condition that they successfully complete a single scientific mission - go to Earth-1 and abduct a human to do experiments.
They make their way to "normal Earth" in their spaceship and witness Tom Anderson being crowned Chili King of Highland at the annual cook-off. When he goes to get some more beer from his car, the two aliens ambush him in the parking lot and order him to come along, which he does because he takes them for members of the Elks club offering him to join. Once on board the ship, Butt-Head uses his stun gun to render Anderson unconscious, but not before accidentally turning it on Beavis first. They load Tom into the experimentation apparatus, which turns out to be a defective anal probe. Anderson wakes up and, ever the handyman, offers to repair the machine for them. He soon discovers a loose wire housing to be the cause of the problem, which turns out to be an easy fix.
Before continuing the experiments, the duo want to wipe Anderson's memory with a mnemulator but hold it the wrong way and wipe themselves instead. Instantly forgetting their mission, Beavis steps into the probulating device to find out what it is and gets his anus thoroughly probed while Anderson leaves the ship. As they fly off without him, Smart Beavis remembers who he is, which s making it worse.

Trivia[]
- This is the first episode to focus exclusively on Smart Beavis and Smart Butt-Head.
- Smart versions of Daria, McVicker, Buzzcut, Todd, and Mrs. Stevenson appear in this episode, marking their debut in the 2022 revival. Tracy Grandstaff reprises her role for Smart Daria (but not Smart Mrs. Stevenson). A Smart version of the judge from Beavis and Butt-Head Do the Universe and "Two Stupid Men" also appears.
- The music video that the Smart duo watch is currently the oldest song to be reviewed in the 2022 revival; "Let the Cowboy Rock" was released in January 2012, a month after the last episode of the 2011 revival premiered, while the rest of the songs/videos that were reviewed in prior episodes were from the mid-late 2010s to early 2020s, closer to when the current revival is set.
- Serena Ryan is never mentioned at any point during the episode, despite being the first woman to score with any version of either of the duo.
- In the original animatic, Smart Van Driessen was the leader of the council instead of the Smart Judge, and the only Supreme Leader to speak. The Supreme Leaders also had slightly different designs, with Smart Todd retaining his mullet from his original counterpart. Smart Mrs. Stevenson was also absent. [1]
