Beavis and Butt-Head in Virtual Stupidity

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.

Three full-length music videos (with included commentary by Beavis and Butt-Head) are viewable on various television sets in the game:

1. GWAR – "Saddam a Go-Go"
2. Primus – "DMV"
3. Sausage – "Riddles Are Abound Tonight"
