Our Take

For fans looking for a follow up of Beavis and Butt-Head: Do America, we kinda get a miniature one in the form of “The Mission” in that we once again get a bus trip through a desert that has Tom Anderson close by and I thoroughly enjoyed every bit of it. No we don’t get a trip sequence nor another reunion with the Motley Crue roadies,but it is in fact another jaunt in the desert that leads to a beating.

And how about this new Beavis character, huh?We don’t get a necessarily long running bit here with “Beavis H” but I’m hoping the little douche shows up in more episodes in the future. It seems when the producers do add new student friends they typically do well and get popular i.e. Stewart and Daria, so it will be interesting to see if a similar blip in popularity will arise for this new kid.

Last, but not least, no real music videos but we do get slightly shorter cutaways in addition to a visit from Tom Anderson that was a laugh riot .Overall a solid episode and a nice change in pace in the show’s recent filings of a lot of quick-rich schemes.
