  • The scene where Beavis is juggling flaming newspapers (which burns down the Laff Hole) is removed.
  • The fire references have been removed from the Vince Neil video. The Belly video was added to fill the time from the edited scenes.

  • The Fire references During the "Cool Kids" video.
  • A scene of Beavis trying unsuccessfully to light a lighter has been edited out.
  • When Stewart first walks in and Beavis and Butt-head get an idea to kidnap him, the thought balloons have been changed from lighters flicking to light bulbs.
  • When Stuart is watching Urkel, a shot of Urkel on the TV pointing to fire saying, "Did I do that?" has been removed.

  • The complete, unedited version of this episode appears on the home video release "Sticky Situations".
  
  
  
• In the episode "Good credit" the original version contains a shot of Beavis trying to burn Mr. Anderson's credit card; this has been edited out.
  
  
• In the episode "Way down mexico way" the original version contained the following disclaimer: "WARNING: If you're not a cartoon, swallowing a rubber full of drugs can kill you." The unedited version of this episode was shown only once or twice. Later airings were shown as a single episode,with the drug-smuggling subplot removed.
  
  
• In the episode "For better or verse", the original version contained two fire references that were eventually removed in later showings:a scene with Beavis showing Butt-head how to light aerosol spray on fire (which singes him), and fire references in the Das EFX video.
  
  
• In the episode "Tornado" the scene with "Barney" with his hands on fire, yelling "This sucks!" is heard, but the original visual is replaced with a "Technical Difficulties" card on Beavis and Butt-head's TV in a later showing
  
  
• In the episode "Sporting goods", the original version of this episode aired without the "dueling grasshoppers" at the very beginning, instead starting with the boys flicking their lighters as they talked to Daria.
  
  
• Two 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 (to the effect of 'Sniffing paint thinner is stupid if you're not a cartoon').
  • 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.
