Beavis and Butt-Head in Virtual Stupidity

Beavis and Butt-Head in Virtual Stupidity is a point-and-click adventure video game developed by ICOM Simulations and published by Viacom New Media for Windows. It is based on Beavis and Butt-Head, an American animated television series created by Mike Judge for MTV.

Plot
The game starts with Beavis and Butt-Head working at Burger World. They are met by Todd, who threatens them. Despite this, Beavis and Butt-Head like Todd because of his power and consider him "cool." They decide to try to join Todd's gang. At Highland High, the duo are forced to stay in Science Class and dissect a frog. Eventually, they manage to skip class after lying to the science teacher that they are going to the bathroom. They manage to slip from school after spitting on Principal McVicker from the school rooftop, causing him to leave the school entrance. From then on, Beavis and Butt-Head explore various areas from Highland, including their house, BurgerWorld, the park, and Maxi-Mart, completing various tasks, in order to get closer to Todd and his gang. After a series of events including a prison escape, defeating Todd's rivals and retrieving Todd's car, Beavis and Butt-Head are trapped in the car's trunk by girls, with which they return home after being rescued by Daria Morgendorffer. The police track Todd's car and arrest him, leaving Beavis and Butt-Head safe at home while they return to their usual routine of watching television. ==Music videos==

Reviewing the PC version, a reviewer for Next Generation said it "may be one of the funniest games to ever hit store shelves."
