TV Review: Beavis and Butt-head: "The Rat" / "Spill"

Season 8 - Episode 9/10
MTV (US)

It's incredible how funny Beavis and Butt-head has been since it came back.

"The Rat" is fucking hilarious. Really fucking hilarious. The guys have a rat in their apartment and try and catch it. Cue a ridiculous scene where they end up trapping themselves in a spring loaded rat trap and end up covered in cuts and bruises. Genuinely one of the funniest things I've seen on TV this year. The rest of the story sees them adopt the rat as a pet and take him to work at Burger World and cause chaos. It's a great episode, and probably the best since the show's return.

"Spill" sees the boys accidentally sign up to clean up an oil spill when they hear that there will be "filthy chicks covered in oil." Obviously, that meant baby birds, but the two go, hit on the big breasted activist and end up on TV portrayed as heroes. Fantastic.

The show's form since it has returned to our screens has been outstanding, and it's almost as if it's never bee away. Another fantastic installment.

The Rat: **** 1/2
Spill: ****
