Frog baseball

From Beavis and Butt-Head

Original Air Date: 4 September, 1992

Frog baseball was one of two pilot episodes of Beavis and Butt-head (the other being Peace, Love and Understanding) which aired as segments on MTV's Liquid Television program.

Beavis and Butt-head are introduced sitting on a couch watching television, snickering at an advertisement for "Thigh-master". Later, the duo is standing in a field killing insects with firecrackers, when Beavis spots a frog on the ground. They decide to play a game of baseball, using the frog as the ball. Butt-head manages to hit the frog on after two strikes and one "ball", reducing it to a bloody mess. After they enjoy a brief bout of air-guitaring, Beavis spots Mrs. Higgin's poodle and they both chase after it, seeking some more of America's favorite pass-time.

{Beavis and Butt-Head are sitting on the couch, flipping through the channels.}

TV NARRATOR #1: …I guarantee it.

{Channel Changes, television displays a man next to the text "Cop Rock Weekdays at 9:00 PM TV39".}

TV NARRATOR #2: …Tonight at nine…

{Channel changes again, television displays a woman doing leg exercises.}

TV NARRATOR #3: …Then I found Thigh-Master. With Thigh-Master, it's easy to squeeze, squeeze your way to more shapely hips and thighs.

BEAVIS AND BUTT-HEAD: {Both laugh}

{Theme song plays, after the title screen Beavis and Butt-Head are shown standing in a field. Beavis is trying to light a firecracker attached to a large insect.}

BUTT-HEAD: Light one in his butt. {Both laughing.}

{Beavis succeeds in lighting the firecracker and throws it on the ground where it explodes, shredding the insect.}

BUTT-HEAD: That was cool.

BEAVIS AND BUTT-HEAD: {Simultaneously, to the theme of I am Iron Man} Da da da-da-da, da-na-na-na-na-na da-da-da, da-da…

BEAVIS: Yes!

{The frog falls to the ground, a bloody mess. Both are laughing.}

BUTT-HEAD: That was cool.

BEAVIS AND BUTT-HEAD: {Simultaneously, to the theme of I am Smoke on the Water.} Da da da, da da da-na, da da da da-da…
