Some episodes featuring incredibly dangerous activities fell mostly out of circulation after complaints:
- In the Season 2 episode Home Improvement, one of the original Tom Anderson stories, he pays the boys to paint his house (the origin of later references to 'painting his cat's butt blue'). Beavis & Butt-Head sniff paint thinner, get 'high', and destroy quite a few things in the process. Episode featured one of the three CAUTION messages ("Breathing paint thinner will damage your brain. Look what it's done to Beavis and Butt-head.").
- The original appearance of Stuart's House and his parents involved the moronic duo being left in the kitchen alone, where they activated the gas flow on the stove and then lit a lighter, blowing the crap out of the kitchen. (Stuart's mom shows up, asking "Would you boys like some lemonade?", to which Stuart's dad rants about how "We don't even have goddamn kitchen!"). Also featured a warning about how huffing natural gas was bad, not to mention that fire was horrendously dangerous, again, if you weren't animated.
- Episode "Incognito" fell out of syndication after only a few airings. In it, Earl brought (and used) a pistol with him to class. This was, however, some time before the Columbine incident.
-The episode "Ball Breakers" saw Beavis and Butthead drop a bowling ball from the roof of a building on to the street. This episode was withdrawn from circulation after an 18-year-old named Calvin Settle dropped a bowling ball from the top section of the New Jersey Route 139 superhighway, killing an 8 month old girl named Natalia Rivera. Morality in Media, a media watchdog group similar to the Parents Television Council, tried to connect the incident with this episode. However, it's not clear that the episode and the incident were connected.
