Beavis & Butthead Bunghole in One

Huh-huh, he said "hole"

It's not unusual to hear "sssshhh!" at tee time as a golfer lines up a shot. But "Shut your cakehole"?

That's one of the crass pleasures found within Beavis & Butthead Bunghole in One- a humorous, if not particularly replayable, game of miniature golf.

Up to four players use a basic click-and-drag putting method on a single 18-hole course designed around themes from Mike Judge's celebrated MTV cartoon. Most are funny. In Hole 11, Van Driesen's Psychedelic Playground, players putt through a rotating peace sign and between glowing lava lamp pylons to the drone of New Age music. In Hole 18, the "Corn-hole-io," obstacles spin out of control in a sugar-frenzy, and the putting green is made of toilet paper.

Bunghole's strength, however, lies in the range of insults and idiotic comments issuing from the six golfers available. Beavis, Butthead, Van Driesen, Principal McVicar, and Todd and Tom Anderson offer up dialogue recognizably borrowed from the show. Beavis screams, "Stop taking your sweet-ass time piddlin' around." Butthead mocks opponents with "You'll never score," while Van Driesen urges us to "Try not to think of it as work."

However, the game isn't customizable and doesn't allow for any hijinks. The holes can't be edited, and each must be finished before proceeding to the next. You can't just say "this sucks" and move on.
