"Crying" is the second episode of season 8 and 202nd episode overall of the American animated television sitcom Beavis and Butt-Head. It aired alongside "Werewolves of Highland" on October 27, 2011, on MTV.
Plot
[edit]Beavis and Butt-Head watch an episode of The Bachelor. While eating a chili dog, Beavis finds a piece of onion, which causes a tear to run down his face. This drives Butt-Head to believe that Beavis is crying because he finds the show sad. Much to Beavis's chagrin, Butt-Head tells Mr. Van Driessen, Coach Buzzcut, and the other students that Beavis cried, but Beavis denies it.
Flashforwarding 80 years, the duo are seen sitting in wheelchairs in a retirement home where Butt-Head is still mocking Beavis for crying. Butt-Head's laughter brings on a heart attack and he dies. Beavis insists that he was not crying and is not now, either. A cheered-up Beavis then laughs.

IGN praises the episode's gag and finale and says "The short culminates with 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]
