Plot
Beavis and Butt-Head are watching an award show on TV, where they see Morgan Spurlock of Super Size Me fame on the red carpet with a woman in tow. After Butt-Head explains to Beavis that Spurlock is famous only because he ate nothing but fast food for a whole month, the two decide to do the same thing in the hopes of getting fame and women. The boys then start their plans by eating obscene amounts of fast food at Burger World for days and then volunteering to work a shift for their manager, who allows them free food in exchange. The boys then quickly grab as much food as they can before leaving. The boys continue to gorge while in school until Mr. Van Driessen tells them that food is banned in class. After Butt-Head quickly sways Van Driessen's opinion by explaining that they are eating for 30 days "like that Sherlock dude", Van Driessen assumes that the boys are doing this in order to showcase the dangers of teenage obesity, to which he allows them to continue eating in class and even gets two of the boys' classmates to make a video documentary as their semester service project. After Beavis and Butt-Head both gain a large amount of weight, their video reaches Burger World headquarters, who decide to give Beavis and Butt-Head all-you-can-eat coupons for Taco Yummo, whose headquarters see another video and provide gift cards to Wiener Shack.
