Reference excerpt

"Werewolves of Highland" is the first episode of season 8 and 201st episode overall of the American animated television sitcom Beavis and Butt-Head, as well as the first episode of the series' revival after its initial cancellation in 1997. It aired alongside "Crying" on October 27, 2011, on MTV.

Plot Beavis and Butt-Head sneak into a movie theater, where they watch Twilight until a member of staff throws them out. They see that girls find the undead appealing. In class, Butt-Head asks David Van Driessen how to become undead during a lesson about romantic literature; he tells them that they must be bitten by one, which prompts the duo to leave class and look for a member of the undead. The duo find a crazy old homeless man named Henry, whom they mistake for a werewolf due to his long white hair and beard and large canine teeth. Beavis and Butt-Head ask him to bite them. Henry asks for a dollar, but Butt-Head gives him a piece of gum instead and he bites them several times. Henry is afflicted with several diseases and infects the duo with them. The duo are later seen at home, feeling poorly, their sickly-pale skin sporting a slew of bite marks and bruises, but they believe that they have become werewolves. While the boys are sitting in front of a shop in town, two gorgeous young women find them and have them taken to the hospital, even though the duo wrongly thought the beauties were going to take them on a date. At the hospital, it is discovered that Beavis and Butt-Head not only contracted hepatitis C, but hepatitis A, hepatitis B, gonorrhea, gangrene, MRSA and staph, surprising the doctor that they are still alive. As the nurse attempts to insert catheters while the duo are in intensive care, they start giggling at her touching their penises, despite being in deep comas, with Butt-Head uttering the word: "Deep..."

Production This episode was created in response to the cultural phenomenon with vampires in movies and TV shows. Mike Judge mentioned that he wanted the new episodes to be topical, starting with this episode, but there is no instance where the series acknowledges its 14-year gap. As of this episode, the hand-drawn animation process has also been updated and is in high-definition, but produced in the 4:3 aspect ratio, unlike most HD programs which are typically produced in 16:9. However, archive footage was used for featured video segments due to being broadcast in both 1080i and 480i. During the first video segment Beavis utters the word "fire" a total of 7 times within 28 seconds, with Butt-Head saying it once as well, as a reference to the writers' ban on using the word "fire" which was set in place during the first run after the series was associated with a fire that was thought to have resulted in the death of a two-year-old in 1993.

Reception The episode was seen by 3,286,000 viewers in its initial airing. IGN commented that the episode was one of the show's funniest episodes, stating "It would appear that Mike Judge's comedy senses have only sharpened over years" and also said "with a pilot this solid, and the promise of some great TV (and perhaps another movie) down the pipe, it's safe to assume Mike Judge's cult fame will continue for decades to come". HitFix states "Beavis and Butt-Head are who they've always been, for ill or (comedically) for good. I'm glad to have them back" when reviewing this episode and "Crying". Assignment X called the episode "reckless, silly and on target".

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Werewolves of Highland

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Werewolves of Highland claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In science, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Werewolves of Highland before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Werewolves of Highland ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Werewolves of Highland

In research: Werewolves of Highland appears in science research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses Werewolves of Highland in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: Werewolves of Highland is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics 2011 American television episodes, Beavis and Butt-Head episodes, Mass media portrayals of sexually transmitted infections, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Werewolves of Highland outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
