When Highland High's secretary calls Beavis and Butt-head's homes to see why the boys aren't in school, Beavis (not knowing who's on the other line) declares that the duo are dead (when, in reality, they're at home eating nachos and trying to find something good on television). While Mr. Van Driessen mourns the loss and gets the class to remember something good about the obnoxious duo, Principal McVicker stops shaking and becomes cheerful -- until the death makes the news and Beavis and Butt-head decide to leave home so they can see who died in school.
