Transcript[]
[We open to Beavis and Butt-head watching TV. An advertisement about the President is currently on.] TV Announcer: Today, President Clinton will be visiting our very own Highland High School! We'll be holding an event called "Youth: The Next Generation". Butt-head: Huh huh, that guy's really fat. Beavis: Heh, yeah. Announcer: The president will answer spontaneous questions from students picked at random. Beavis: Heh heh, he said picked. Heh heh. [We cut to Highland High's teachers lounge. McVicker has gathered the staff for a meeting regarding the event.] McVicker: Are the hand-picked honor students rehearsing their questions? Dr. Charleston: Yes, sir! McVicker: Is security in place? Mrs. Dickie: Check. McVicker: Now, what about B-Beavis and Butt-head?! [The staff looks confused and unsure as they keep shifting eye focus and contemplating.] Mr. Stevenson: Maybe they won't come to school today! [In reaction, McVicker just slams his paper into the desk.] McVicker: You idiot! It's Taco Day in the cafeteria! They'll be here! Now look, the future of Highland High is at stake, not to mention my personal career. B-Beavis and Butt-head must not be allowed within THREE MILES of the President!! Mrs. Wilcox: Maybe we could just kill them! Mr. Miller: That would be cool. [The staff except McVicker laugh about it ala Beavis and Butt-head. McVicker was just trying to think of a workaround without the result being in jail.] McVicker: Uhh, tempting, but I've got a better idea. [McVicker smirks over his idea as we fade to black. Soon, Beavis and Butt-head are back in the principal's office for a different reason.] McVicker: Boys, take the day off! [He pulls up a phony looking pass to the boys to give them.] McVicker: T-This pass will allow you to stay off-campus. Way off-campus, for the next 24 hours. You can go anywhere, do anything! [Butt-head takes the pass.] Butt-head: But today's Taco Day! Huh huh huh. [McVicker also pulls out a stack of money, which is given to Beavis.] McVicker: Here's fifty bucks. Go down to the House of Tacos and stuff yourselves. Beavis: Heh heh, you said stuff. Heh McVicker: I'LL SAY IT AGAIN IF YA DON'T GET OUTTA HERE! [The boys sprint out of the doorway, leaving McVicker less stressed. The boys are outside, holding the pass.] Butt-head: Woah! We can go anywhere and do anything! Beavis: Yeah, heh heh. [Two thought bubbles appear over their heads, but nothing is in them, accompanied with electricity crackling. The bubbles soon pop.] Beavis: It's cool to like, try and think of stuff. Butt-head: Yeah, huh huh. This pass is cool. Beavis: This proves that we're cooler than other people. Butt-head: Yeah, huh huh. People would be jealous if they knew we had it. Let's go show everyone! |
Censorship[]
- A shot of Beavis lighting a cigarette during the Tag Team video was edited out in later airings.
- The TV broadcast has an extra scene with McVicker. After he hears about the boys being back on campus, he calls for Ms. Tress to bring him a new pair of pants and he starts freaking out. It's possible that it was filler and isn't present on home video versions.
- Beavis' "FIRE! FIRE!" quip was deleted before the first run, obviously missing from Butt-Head's "...and set it on fire!" and then jumping to "Yeah!" after an obvious deleted frame. The edit is even more obvious on airings where Butt-Head is abruptly cut off after stating about "invading a country". The former edit is more common than the latter.
- The scene with Beavis shouting "BACK OFF, YOU FAT PIG!" is cut from broadcasts as well as the Paramount+ release of this episode, and is replaced with a shot of Butt-Head looking confused as Beavis picks his nose again. This would make his frowning expression non-sensical. The reason the edit was done has not been explained yet, although the unedited scene is present on home video.
Music Videos[]
- Tag Team - "Whoomp! (There It Is)"
- Daisy Chainsaw - "Love Your Money"
- Tool - "Sober"
- Rollins Band - "Low Self Opinion"
- Suzanne Vega - "Blood Makes Noise"
- Georgia Satellites - "Keep Your Hands to Yourself"
Goofs[]
- When Clinton says "Did you boys have a question?", the Secret Service member on the left side of the screen has brown hair but when Butt-Head discusses flying over a country, he becomes blonde.
Trivia[]
- This episode premiered in MTV's First Annual Butt Bowl.
- This episode sometimes aired as two parts with both parts airing alongside different episodes (Example: Politically Correct/First half of Citizen Butt-Head, then Second half of Citizen Butt-Head/Buff 'n' Stuff). When aired this way, the second half was titled "Citizen Butt-Head (Part 2)."
- When President Clinton gave Beavis and Butt-Head the "Students of the Year" award, the band started playing the United States Anthem while Butt-Head said "This band sucks," even though they were rocking out to the band's music earlier.
