Censorship[]

Certain material present in the original Spike and Mike version of the short was removed from one or both versions aired on MTV.

  • The opening in which Beavis and Butt-Head were huffing glue aired on Liquid Television, but was removed from the Beavis and Butt-Head series version.
  • The Liquid Television airing removed the phone number displayed in the TV commercial as well as Sterculius's line "I am Sterculius, god of feces." These were restored in the series version.
  • Butt-Head's Asian Happy Boy impersonation, Butt-Head asking a woman if she'd like to sniff some glue, the use of the trademarked name "Hyundai", and several crowd members giving Van Driessen the finger were removed by MTV for all airings.

Other edits[]

  • The lines in the T.V. commercial "Coming to the Metro Plex sports arena. Watch as the Pile-driver takes on the Schween Machine." were edited out on Liquid Television. They were restored in the series version.

Trivia[]

  • The infomercial in the opening scene was a parody of "Tom Vu's Secrets of Success".
  • This is the last Beavis and Butt-Head episode to be animated using cel-painted animation, until it was re-used later on from the Season 3 episode Comedians.
  • Mike Judge himself despises this episode's animation, alongside with Door-To-Door and Give Blood. He described it as "awful, I don't know why anybody liked it... I was burying my head in the sand."[3]
  • The uncensored version of this short was made available on VHS under the title Spike & Mike's Sick and Twisted Festival of Animation, Volume 1.
  • This is the first appearance of David Van Driessen.
    • Despite being killed by the monster truck, Van Driessen still appears in future episodes.
    • Van Driessen says "okay" normally instead of the "m'kay" which would later become the character's trademark.
    • This is the only episode of the original series in which Van Driessen wears a tie-dyed shirt instead of his usual blue T-shirt with the peace sign.

Goofs[]

  • The color of Beavis' shorts changes from gray to red as he begins singing the heavy metal riff. This goof also appeared in Frog Baseball.
