Beavis and Butt-Head

Kidnapped is the fifth episode in Season 3 of Beavis and Butt-Head. It is the 34th episode overall.

Summary[]

Watching TV, Beavis and Butt-head see an ad for a rock concert called "Mucho Metal". They want to go, but have no money to buy tickets. As they are thinking about what to do, Stewart walks in through their open door and warns them about strangers getting in, bringing up a girl who was kidnapped. This gives Butt-head the idea to "kidnap" Stewart and demand ransom money from his parents. He asks Stewart to hang out with him and Beavis, which he of course agrees to. As he sits on the couch, the duo head to the kitchen and call Stewart's parents demanding money, but it goes to voicemail.

As Stewart is annoying Beavis and Butt-head by watching lame TV, trying to make conversation, etc., they leave his parents even more messages demanding ransom. Just when the duo is fed up, Stewart reveals he has to leave because he and his parents are attending Mucho Metal that night. Beavis and Butt-head hurry after him and are later seen at the concert with the Stevenson family, who bought the two tickets. However, the Stevensons annoy Beavis and Butt-head so much they can't enjoy the concert and they sneak away through the crowd. When the family gets home, Mr. Stevenson wonders where Beavis and Butt-head went and, after listening to part of one of the many messages from the duo on his answering machine, goes into a panic thinking they were kidnapped.
