The most satisfying "they got what was coming to them" moments in cartoons.


Okay, let's be honest, without Beavis and Butt-Head we wouldn't have had series like Family Guy and South Park. And what B&B as characters constantly show is they always get away with the most deplorable of behavior, because of people "Trying to understand them." Or made some other excuse that kept them out of trouble.


The reactions of the others in the series after B&B have been given a reprieve in court after they had actually set the school on fire.

It basically sums up the series in a whole, B&B will never be held accountable for their actions.

BUT NOT ALWAYS.

Beavis and Butt-Head getting their sorry butts handed over to them in the episode "Babes R us" after having been denied access to a strip club and trying to force their way in through sheer violence.

So let's talk about those moments where the luck of the most malicious of cartoon characters ran out.

Staying with Beavis and Butt-Head...




"Used Car"
A used Car salesman mistakes B&B for potential customers and allows them to do a test drive, which ends up with the terrible twosome destroying the car. When the manager demands to see B&B's driving licences and that they pay for the damage they caused, B&B are quick to inform him that they have neither licences OR money. Exasperated, the guy sends B&B on their way. B&B are getting away with it once again, until...


But B&B aren't the only bad apples from cartoon world who do terrible stuff and get away with it all of the time, so let's talk about more instances where the luck of those bad kids finally ran out.

...it shouldn't be a surprise that he's on this list... Eric Cartman.

Cartman is basically worse than Butt-Head when it comes to his morality, for Butt-Head everything is a laugh, even if it DOES mean that that laugh comes at other's expense. With Cartman, everything he does is out of spite, rub him the wrong way, and you'll pay the price. Butt-Head doesn't have the scheming capability and the intelligence to pull off Cartman's shenanigans.

Cartman uses his age in advantage, seeing as how as an elementary school student, he won't be doing any time. His huge ego being a direct result of his upbringing and the way people deal with him, as far as he's concerned, the world revolves around him.

BUT NOT ALWAYS!

In the most recent series of South Park, Cartman's scheme to get his mom fired from her job at a Real Estate agency, by starting one of his own and luring her customers away, backfired in a spectacular way. As it forced his mother to sell the family house, and have the two of them move into a Hot Dog stand instead.

And so, to improve their domestic situation, Cartman collects a lot of money, not so they can move into a better house, but for his mom to get breast implants. His reasoning being that as a trophy wife, his mom would get a lot of millionaires to chase after her. But his mom wasn't having any of it, and Cartman, trying to play chicken, went "If you won't get them, I WILL!"

The biggest difference between Butt-Head and Cartman is that Butt-Head has no problem to admit being responsible for his actions. Laughing it off and going "Yeah that was cool!" Cartman, even with now living in poverty and having fake boobs, Will NEVER admit that anything he's going through is his fault

I admire the work you put into these things.

I have nothing to add at this moment but I thought I would say that.

The recent movie...

... Although I guess the problem with Beavis and Butt-Head "getting what was coming to them" is that they're too stupid to understand what they're doing wrong and sometimes don't even understand that getting beaten up is a punishment of sorts. Hell, their reaction to Todd beating them up is "Todd is cool!". More often than not, they're so stupid they literally have no idea about anything going on around them.
