Beavis and Butt-head knock on a local woman's door, hoping to collect a reward for finding her "lost" kids who were playing in their front yard. This woman, probably the worst mother in the entire world, asks if Beavis and Butt-head, whom she obviously doesn't know or ever heard of, will watch her children. Yes, leave her two young children with two complete strangers, those strangers being Beavis and Butt-head no less. But oh well. So she leaves to see her ex, while our dynamic duo settle back on the couch to watch their monster truck rally, which is quickly hindered by the oldest boy, age 5 and twice as smart as B&B, who wants to show them his toys and hogs the TV. Beavis soon bonds with the baby, who is a few IQ points superior to the former, and when he's told the baby's hungry, he gives it a can of beans and a can-opener. They join the children in coloring on the walls, and think it's cool when the baby soils its diaper. By the time the Mother of the Year comes back, she wonders why her children are still up and why the strangers she hired to watch them are asleep in the kids' bed. She kicks them out, deeming them the worst babysitters ever (coming from one of the worst moms ever). Walking away with no money, only Beavis is not disappointed, since he left "a little something" in the bed.

Another great B&B cartoon. Again, what kind of mother entrusts two complete strangers to watch her young children? She was obviously new to the neighborhood since everybody knows Beavis and Butt-head. But anyway, it's a great episode. Really funny. Check it out if you can.

Quite shocking

Okay, maybe I am a little over sensitive for this episode, especially since I've not long become a dad but I was worried that I was going to see some children get hurt but luckily this was not the case. Considering that this programme has got into loads of trouble anyway after upsets with children I'm glad to see they did not stir up any further upset. Even if the show is not really aimed at children, there is still a decency factor which they should stick to like all decent TV shows.

Beavis and Butthead knock on a parents door to say that they found her kids on the pavement (well actually the sidewalk, but you know what I mean) and not just playing in the yard. They ask her for money for their trouble, but she says if they want to earn money that bad, she will pay them to look after her kids for a couple of hours.

She basically allowed strangers to look after her kids and they didn't even know how to look after them. Beavis tried giving the baby a tin of beans unopened. When Butthead asked how is he supposed to open it, Beavis went and got him the tin opener.

I suppose this is not too bad with regards to episode quality but all I can say is thank God it's all pretend. If this were to happen in real life, you can guarantee heads would be rolling.
