Beavis and Butt-Head in Virtual Stupidity

Oh dear, I do believe I have the vapors. This page contains content that is not safe for work or other locations with the potential for personal embarrassment. Such as: Comical gore and a partially-obscured F-bomb.

To do: Unused graphics.

Beavis and Butt-Head might not sound like the greatest property to base an adventure game on, but Virtual Stupidity is a well-regarded title in the genre (so much so that an episode of the Paramount+ revival was even named after it), on top of being a pretty good use of the license.

Hidden Developer Movies#

On the end credits screen, type BOIDUTS, YNNIF, SKCUS, or NAMTAH. They can also be viewed by getting the four biggest AIFF files on the disc and changing the file extensions to .mov.

A crudely-made CG animation featuring the one and only Hatman! This appears to be the earliest known instance of the Hatman Easter egg hidden in games made by ex-Viacom New Media developers.

Easter Eggs#

There are five locations in the game where, if certain spots are clicked with the Foot icon in a particular order, a secret hidden scenario script will be activated.

Shotgun#

Watch on YouTube

In the coffee house bathroom, click the three hinges on the right side of the mirror from top to bottom, then click the skull on the bathroom stall. Butt-Head will pull out a shotgun and blow Beavis' head off in a rather gory display, the only "death" in the game. Afterward, the game will reset to the title screen.

Missile Silo#

Watch on YouTube

At the Podunk Farm entrance, click the left-topmost side of the farm sign, the middle-bottom part of the sign, the right-topmost corner of it, then the top of the farm silo (time on the video: 3:14). The silo tower will open and a missile launches.

Slaughter House#

Watch on YouTube

Inside the slaughter house, click the bottom-left ceiling pin, then the bottom-right one. Then click the bottom side of the hooks to the left, first the left one, then the right one (time on the video: 4:07). Instead of a cow, a man with a cow head will be slaughtered in the machine. Instead of the cow bell, a cell phone is dropped to the trash bin.

Ending Shortcut#

Watch on YouTube

At the very first scene in the classroom, click the top-left and top-right corners of the exit door, then the top-left and top-right corners of the chalkboard. Butt-Head will draw Hatman on the chalkboard, after which the ending movie will play.

Bear Anal Cavity#

Watch on YouTube

At the Veteran's Hall, click the top-left, top-right, bottom-right, and bottom-left corners of the hall sign (time on the video: 0:50). A stuffed bear will appear at the hall doors, after which Beavis will check its anal cavity and pull out a shape from Zoop, a puzzle game published by Viacom.

Unused Sounds#

DUMMY.WAV, found only in the PlayStation version, is a dummy file containing six minutes of audio static.

Regional Differences#

A PlayStation port was produced exclusively for the Japanese market. Unlike the TV show, the first movie, or the mint commercial, all of which used English audio with Japanese subs, most of the audio in this game is dubbed instead, starring the comedian duo London Boots Ichi-gō Ni-gō as Beavis and Butt-Head.

In the PC version, VIDEO010 is a commercial for the Beavis and Butt-Head: Chicks 'n Stuff VHS. In the PlayStation version, this file is replaced by a Japanese title card, which is sandwiched in-between the Viacom logo and the "don't try this at home" disclaimer.

Windows	PlayStation

The title screen has a new menu layout and a "Press Start" message preceding it.

The Primus "DMV" music video is uncensored in the Japanese release, while the international release bleeps the words "THC" and "smoke" with dog barks and pig squeals, respectively.

Other Changes#

• A Japanese staff roll was inserted after the "Thank you for playing [...] DUMBASS" ending screen.
• The hidden videos were removed.
