"Crying" is the second episode of season 8 and 202nd episode overall of the American animated television series Beavis and Butt-Head. It aired alongside "Werewolves of Highland" on October 27, 2011 on MTV.

Plot

Beavis and Butt-Head watch an episode of The Bachelor. While eating a chili dog, Beavis finds an onion, which causes a tear to run down his eye. Butt-Head told Mr. Van Driessen, Coach Buzzcut, and the other students that Beavis cried. Beavis, however, denies the fact that he was crying.

Cutting to 80 years later, the duo are seen in a retirement home, where Butt-Head is still giving Beavis a hard time for "crying", but he dies shortly afterward, much to Beavis's delight.

Reception

The episode was seen by 3,286,000 people in its initial airing.[1]

IGN praises the episode's gag and finale and says "The short culminates with in a hilarious finale and a gag that's simple, and a little cheap, but perfectly encapsulates the spirit of the unhinged duo."[2] HitFix comments on the episode's plot, saying "But whether they're causing headaches for others or just themselves, the two—and the show—remain very funny", later stating "Beavis and Butt-Head are who they've always been, for ill or (comedically) for good. I'm glad to have them back", when reviewing this episode and "Werewolves of Highland".[3] Assignment X said the episode was "at their simplistic best".[4]
