When people nowadays think of the words adult cartoons they usually think of shows like South Park and Rick And Morty shows that are quite smart and clever. However back in the nineties when people thought of those exact same words they usually thought of something like Beavis And Butt-Head a show that is the complete opposite of smart and clever and that is something that did work for this show so much so that the show has spawned countless seasons of the show and two full length movies and so then join me as I review that actually has a shocking ending to it with the episode in question being called simply just "Bungholio: The Lord Of Harvest" enjoy.
The plot of this episode is when Beavis and Butt-Head decide to go out trick or treating they find it's hard to get sweets due to there age. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty really good as it's just a simple plot and to be frank that's all it needed to be as a show like this one really doesn't require deep and dark plots to make it's episodes work it just needs a dumb , stupid and simple plot and that's really it and while this episodes plot is dumb it's dumb in the best way possible as you can believe that these characters who lets be honest here aren't the sharpest of tools in the shed would believe that they could get sweets from there neighbors just by going door to door and when they do finally find an adult who will give them exactly what they want they of course have to go and mess it all up which again is in keeping with there character and while fair enough this episode could have done with having a much more stronger plot like what the first movie had that doesn't mean that it would have worked for the show and it's not something that could have worked for this episode either with the plot of this episode also being really rather entertaining and a well as being really rather engaging as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.
Starring in this episode is this episodes co-writer , director and executive producer and the shows creator Mike Judge as Beavis , Butt-Head , Tom Anderson , David Van Driessen , Bradley Buzzcut , Principal McVicker and Mr. Stevenson. Also starring in this episode is Adam Welsh as Stewart Stevenson , this episodes producer Kristofor Brown as The Chainsaw-wielding Farmer , Toby Huss as Todd Ianuzzi and T.P. Postlewaithe as B***hole.
Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought /felt that the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty not that bad. Which really isn't saying all that much as the only voice actor who alot of people will know worked after this show is Mike Judge and he really does kill it in this episode with him voicing multiple different characters more often then not in the same scene together and yet he somehow manages to make the all sound very different and very distinct from one another and while all of the episodes other actors do indeed turn in good performance in there own right there of course not going to top what Mike Judge was doing on this show from an acting point of view as he's just that good of an actor in this very episode and while that's not a knock against them as actors as there really good as well but it's just that he's the better actor in this very episode with the acting that's in this very episode also really being helped by the fact that this episodes script is just so good that all the episodes actors really have to do is just say the lines as they are written and a good performance really will come out them naturally which is something that really does hep to raise the overall quality of the acting that's in this very episode.
Doing the animation for this episode is the legends and the greats that are currently over at J.J. Sedelmaier Productions. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual animation that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual animation that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in al honesty not that bad altho with that being said due to the episodes mostly nighttime setting it was hard to get a good handle of just how good this shows animation could be as this was an episode that was made in the nineties and typically those don't usually age all that well and while yes there a few notable exceptions to that rule it would help if there where at least one or two day time scenes as that would help on seeing just how detailed this shows animation really could be with the animation in this episode having some really nice lighting to it which does make the episode seem a bit more cinematic then the average episode of the show most likely does do and with this episode being an extended episode it does give us a good look at the shows more realistic designs for the characters which to be frank do look timeless with this episode also having some really nice looking fluid animation to it as well which does make this episodes animation look a lot better then what it really had right to be.
In what was a really shocking move this episode just straight up ends with it being hinted that Beavis was killed of by a Zombiefied Butt-Head and The Chainsaw-wielding Farmer. Which granted is a bold way to end a horror themed episode but for a show that usually has the characters walk out of any given situation unscathed the very fact that they hinted at killing one or even both of the main characters could be a sign that this episode was how the show ended with the rest of the show including both of the movies taking place in Beavis's own might which would make sense as they never grow up both literally and figuratively and they always act the same way but on the other hand this episode could be seen as being a non canon episode with the ending just being thrown in there as a nod to slasher movies where alot of the times the characters do die but either way it's weird to think that an adult cartoon from the nineties actually had the courage to not only hint at both of the main characters dying at the hands of this farmer but also show blood right at the end of it something that alot of cartoons both aimed at adults and not don't do today for one reason or another and yet here it is in this very episode ad with the episodes shocking ending it could make this episode out to be one that people put on every single Halloween like they do for alot of Christmas specials as this is an episode could be shown at Halloween time as there's nothing offensive about this ending nor this episode with the ending of the episode making worth watching the hole entire episode for.
This episode does see Beavis turn into Cornholio which is always going to be good time as it's just super fun seeing this character get hyper on literally anything. With it happening due to the fact that he eats an entire bowl full of sweets which is something that is perfect or that character as Beavis much like Butt-Head is dumb as a rock and so when given the chance he would eat someone's entire sweet collection all to himself regardless of if he knows that his best friend also wants to eat it and because of that the entire third act of the episode becomes alot more fun to watch then what it already was as we get there entire town be terrorized by this one character as not one of them knows exactly what he wants and so they just offer him more sweets which is something that he very gladly takes and even tho Butt-Head doesn't really get all that much to do in this episode the very fact that he just lets it all happen all for his own personal enjoyment is something that does also feel true to his character as well as they both fully enjoy seeing the other get fully humiliated and this is something that would either one would believe would make the other feel humiliated because of it and it's due to how dumb and how simple minded that these two characters that we end up getting a really fun filled episode out of it that despite not really featuring alot of horror or even Halloween related stuff does work as a Halloween special for this show to have.
While this episode does feature the titular characters Trick Or Treating that's really the only thing that connects it to Halloween. Which is solid enough for this show as this show is about two dumb characters just doing stupid thins together it is something that I can very easily see making alot of halloween purists angry as it's just touching on the spirit of halloween without really going into why it's a holiday but at the same time given that this is a show about two stupid characters it really doesn't have to do any of that of that and it could be argued that y leaving all of that stuff of the episode that the show is then staying true to the spirit of the characters since if the episode was to go into detail about what it is that makes Halloween well Halloween as it would mean having to cut out all of the stuff of the boys commenting on various music videos in way that feels like that it was inspired by Mystery Science Theater 3000 and that is something that would make the people who love this show angry and plus by only including the trick or treating scenes it means that we get some throwbacks to things that where extremely popular in the nineties in the form of kids halloween costumes like the fact that there's two Mighty Morphin Power Rangers costumes which as someone who grew p watching and still does watch that show was a very fun thing to see in the episode and even seeing the boys own costumes is something that works not only for them as characters but for the show as well as there both just simple and just as funny as you'd really want them to be.
Now then this episode has / had an exact grand total running tome of exactly twenty one minuets and thirty two seconds. Which whilst it isn't the bogstandard running time for this show as this show usually had to eleven minuet segments to make up the full twenty two minuets of an episode here it's just one story being told over the cause of the episode and to the episodes credit it really does have the right amount of plot there to really cover that amount of running time but at the same time tho this episode really doesn't take as full advantage of it's extended running time as while it doesn't need to flesh out it characters or it's setting as we have the rest of the show for that what this episode could have done is used those extra eleven minuets to create a plot that makes it feel worthy of being in it's own special since as things stand apart from the truly shocking ending there's nothing regarding this episodes plot that couldn't be seen in a standard episode of the show itself and because of that this special episode which is also the series 6 premiere episode doesn't really feel like that it's all that special as it just feels like an extra episode of the show which granted might be the whole point but if your going to create an special episode of a TV show then give the episode a reason to be special and not just another episode of the show but when the episode really does do something that an average episode of the show might not do like it's shocking ending then it is something that does make the episode feel a bit more like a special because of it but I really will admit that this episode really does have some really good pacing to it tho.
So now then as this is comedy that really does mean that I have to actually talk about the actual comedy that's actually featured /presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual comedy that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty really good. With both of the episodes titular main characters being just as funny as you'd want them to be and them being stupid is what helps to male the episode even funnier as even tho seeing someone eat and entire bowl full of sweets to themselves in basically one going isn't funny what is funny is then seeing that exact same person then go around and basically terrorize his town as this hyper person who nobody can really understand and while yes granted alot of people won't get this episodes jokes for one reason or another but those that do will find it to be a really funny episode and with these two characters being as dumb as a rock the only kinds of jokes that your going to get in anything involving these two characters are dumb jokes and to this episodes credit those types of jokes can be funny if there done well which they are here as the characters are just likable enough to pull them off as those of jokes could come across as being really mean spirited if the characters weren't likable enough but because of the fact that we audience find the characters of Beavis And Butt-Head to be likable then we are laughing with them and not at them in all of this episodes jokes in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.
Overall whilst this episode might not be the best example of the characters and the show at there best it is something that newcomers to the show and people who didn't grow up watching the show myself included will like and will find some basic level of entertainment from as this episode is just that good of an episode of this show and is one that is a really funny episode of the show as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now then i've talked about all o the good and as well as all of the bad things that are in this very episode in this very review and as such that really does mean that this very episode really does earn itself grand old score of exactly a 7.5 out of 10 from me.
Now then as for where I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review well then boys and girls and as well as ladies and gentlemen I personally got all of the Images hat I personally used in this very review from the official Beavis And Butt-Head fandom wiki page , IMP Awards . Com and Google Images. With my personally preferred website to use to get the images from this very episode that I used in this very review being the really great the official Beavis And Butt-Head fandom wiki page really simply just due to the fact that really alot of if not really all of the images that are all really from this very episode with alot of them being better quality then what you'd really think of and all of the images are really of course up and really on the official Beavis And Butt-Head fandom wiki page are also really all fairly high in quality and as well as them all being really fairly freaking high in definition.
