"Crying" is the second episode of Season 8 and 202nd episode overall of the American animated television series Beavis and Butt-head. It aired alongside "Werewolves of Highland" on October 27, 2011 on MTV.
Plot
Beavis and Butt-head watch an episode of The Bachelor. While eating a chili dog, Beavis finds an onion, which causes a tear to run down his eye. Butt-head starts making fun of him for it, believing that it was the show that made him cry. Later when they are walking down the street and in school, Butt-head still makes fun of Beavis and announces to Mr. Van Driessen and the other students that he cried, which annoys Beavis. During gym class, Butt-head annoys Beavis to the point that he tries to attack him, but Coach Buzzcut intervenes by grabbing him. Cutting to 80 years later, the duo are seen in a retirement home, where Butt-head is still making fun of Beavis for "crying", but he dies shortly afterward, much to Beavis's delight.
