The MTV TV version contains a deleted scene. The tour group is at the National Archives Museum, looking at the Declaration of Independence. Beavis and Butt-Head are seen in the bathroom. Beavis then walks out of the bathroom to look for some toilet paper. He walks up to the Declaration of Independence and decides that would work. He begins to lift the glass case, while the security guard is sleeping. Then, he uses a flag pole to break the glass. The glass finally breaks, setting off the alarm. The security guard is awoken by the alarm and rushes to the broken case. Beavis walks back to the bathroom undetected as multiple police officers also run to the broken case. He then flushes the Declaration of Independence after using it to wipe. Butt-Head tells him that they should leave. Beavis comments that paper sucked and it was crumbly. The camera then pans to a piece of the Declaration of Independence with John Hancock’s signature stuck on Beavis’s shoe.
