Synopsis: The boys flip through the TV as we are introduced to their now iconic laugh.
Following the title card, we see Beavis lighting a firecracker in the anal region of a flying insect. After blowing it to smithereens, The boys rejoice by jamming to Black Sabbath's "Iron Man." While doing this, they then see a frog in the distance and declare, FROG BASEBALL!!!"
As Beavis pitches 3 perfect strikes to strikeout Butthead, he gets smashed in the back of the head with the bat. Butthead then throws the frog in the air, and hits it with the bat decimating it. The boys celebrate as they rock out to Deep Purple's "Smoke on the Water." While doing this, they see a dog in the background, and declare, "DOG BASEBALL!!!" Before a credits card airs stating no animals were harmed in the making of the short as the sound of a dog whimpering is heard in the background.

Character Introductions:
Beavis - Crazy, more mentally unstable of the two idiots. His ridged voice provides some of the more ridiculous aspects we see. His alter ego, Cornholio, usually appears when Beavis is hyped up on something. His on-going mission, to find "TP for his bunghole."
Butthead - Leader of the two idiots. He speaks with a speech impediment. Butthead shows slightly more common sense, and mental stability than Beavis. He still has his share of bad ideas, and is not as smooth at times when he needs to be.
Frog - Unfortunate Baseball stand-in for Beavis and Butthead. He is smashed to death when Butthead hits him with the baseball bat during "Frog Baseball."
Mrs. Hagen's Poodle - Replacement "baseball" during "Dog Baseball" after Beavis and Butthead destroy the frog at the conclusion of "Frog Baseball."

Conclusion:
Made for those who enjoy stupid humor. You need to be able to understand the humor to truly get it. This may be violent and sadistic, but it's funny in that you cannot believe what they're doing. Many of us have probably had the longing to hit a home run with a frog, but never actually did so because it feels wrong. This made it the perfect opening episode for the two boys who are intensely morally challenged. This short produced by Mike Judge for MTV was retained for 8 more seasons.
