Beavis and Butt-head have to replace the frying oil at Burger World, but purchase motor oil by mistake.
Tropes
- Comically Missing the Point: In the end, Beavis and Butt-Head watch a news report where environmentalists are cleaning oil off of fish. The duo instead thinks they are using oil on the fish to eat them.Beavis: They forgot to put the breading on it.
Butt-Head: Yeah. Those environmentalists are dumb. I bet those fish taste like crap. - Lethally Stupid: Beavis and Butt-Head end up polluting the restaurant by placing motor oil in the fryer.
- Literal-Minded: The manager tells Beavis and Butt-Head to change the oil, as in fry oil. The duo thinks he means motor oil.
- One Dialogue, Two Conversations: The mechanic thinks Beavis and Butt-Head need oil for their car; the duo thinks he is telling them how to use it in the fryer.
- Poor Communication Kills:
- The manager fails to confirm to the duo that he wants fry oil, not motor oil.
- The two fail to specify to the mechanic what they need to use the oil for, making him think they need it for their car.
