Plot

[Spoiler warningSpoiler warning]: Plot and/or ending details follow.

After doing very poorly in school, as usual, an exasperated Principal McVicker informs the boys that they simply are not ready for their current grade in school, and arranges for them to be sent to another school for their elementary schooling. They continue to fail each grade until finally being sent to kindergarten. Beavis still manages to cause a major incident in this class, forcing the principal of the elementary class to consider other options. Ultimately the principal decides (after a comment from the boys about going up a grade where the women are more attractive) to declare the boys to be geniuses so they will have to go back to their original school, much to McVicker's frustration.
