The Crush is the 24th episode in Season 3 of Beavis and Butt-Head. It is the overall 55th episode.
Plot[]
At home, Beavis and Butt-Head are watching a news segment they managed to get on-screen for.
Later, the duo are seen sitting outside the Qwik-Mart (later dubbed the Maxi-Mart) with nachos and slushies. Todd (for the first time) drives up in his car, running over their bikes. He strangles the two for parking in his spot, takes their snacks and drives off. Beavis and Butt-Head marvel at how cool Todd is with hearts floating around their heads, deciding to go hang out with him. They follow him to a tennis court at the park, where he's blaring loud music with his gang and approach, saying they wish to join. The gang laughs at them, and Todd says that they have to pass an "entrance exam" first. The duo hesitantly say they're ready, and Todd gets his friend to cram Beavis and Butt-Head in his car's trunk. The car then crashes through a sign that reads "road closed due to rock slide", and they drive off.
Come nighttime, Todd and Slade stop back outside the Qwik-Mart, and Todd lets the petrified boys out of the trunk. Sarcastically noting that they didn't pass the initiation, he says that they're welcome to try again next week, and demands that they bring some gas money. As he drives off, Beavis and Butt-Head foolishly still believe Todd likes them and that they have a chance to join his gang, with hearts floating from them once again.

Censorship[]
In the original airing of the episode, Beavis is seen eating a nacho chip with a cockroach stuck to it while the duo are first sitting at the Qwik-Mart. This is cut out on the Mike Judge Collection, but can still be seen on streaming.
Trivia[]
- This episode is first for a couple of things:
- The first appearance of Todd and his gang.
- First episode to show the boys eating their nachos.
- The Maxi-Mart is shown as the Qwik-Mart in this episode. This is the only time it is called that.
- Todd's voice is different here, along with "Date Bait", due to Mike Judge voicing him before the eventual mainstay of Toby Huss.
- German airings of this episode have Blue System - "Dr. Mabuse" in place of the Rick James music video and the Blue System music video was a German exclusive commentary.
- This is the last episode to open or close with a short that was not connected to the main storyline.
