Beavis and Butt-head

Holiday Specials

At least two holiday specials were produced. A Halloween special, and a Christmas special.

The Halloween special involved the two attempting to trick or treat, with incredibly mixed results, as well as memorably ridiculous costumes. Beavis and Butt-head eventually become separated. After stealing some kids' candy, Beavis turns into the Great Cornholio. Butt-head is taken out to the country and deserted by Todd and his gang, where he ends up in the barn of a crazy old man. Eventually Beavis ends up at the barn, and at the end of the episode it is implied (but not shown) that he is killed by Butt-head and the old man who are wielding a chainsaw. All music videos aired during the Halloween special were Halloween-themed.

The Christmas special consists of two segments that parodied popular Christmas stories. The first was a parody of A Christmas Carol, featuring Beavis and Ebeneezer Scrooge, and the second was a send up of It's A Wonderful Life, with the angel Charlie trying to convince Butt-head to kill himself for the good of all mankind. The special also contained short segments where Butt-head dressed as Santa and read letters from viewers, while Beavis was dressed as a reindeer whom Butt-head occasionally struck with a bullwhip.

The running joke during these segments was that in every letter written by a girl, she wants Beavis, which pisses off Butt-head and leads him to hit Beavis even more with the bullwhip.

All of the letters read by Santa Butt-head were actually sent in by MTV viewers, as several months before the special aired, MTV had a commercial encouraging viewers to write letters to Santa Butt-head, and provided an address to where they should be sent.
