"Supersize Me" is the eighth episode of the eighth season of the animated television series Beavis and Butt-Head. It originally aired on MTV on November 28, 2011. The episode is a parody of the 2004 documentary film Super Size Me by Morgan Spurlock.

Plot

The episode begins with Beavis and Butt-Head watching television. They see a documentary about a man who eats nothing but fast food for 30 days and decides to try it themselves. They believe that eating fast food will make them rich and famous. They start their experiment by going to Burger World, where they order large quantities of food.

As the days go by, Beavis and Butt-Head continue to eat excessive amounts of fast food. They become increasingly unhealthy, gaining weight and experiencing various health issues. Despite their deteriorating condition, they remain oblivious to the negative effects of their diet.

Eventually, their teacher, Mr. Van Driessen, becomes concerned about their health and tries to intervene. However, Beavis and Butt-Head ignore his advice and continue their experiment. The episode ends with the duo still consuming fast food, showing no signs of stopping.
