Story:
In beavis and buttheads house it starts with their TV playing a movie trailer that shows an action hero pulling the spleen out from a mans body. The movie is called the intern.
Cut to beavis and butthead sitting on the couch.
Butthead says "woah, that looks cool, we could go if we had some money"

thought bubbles appear above their heads with light bulbs fizzling off and on.

Then they laugh

Next they are walking on the sidewalk in their neighborhood singing "dont wanna fall in the mud, all i wanna do is sell my blood"
Beavis asks how much the blood drive pays for a gallon of blood. Butt-head advises beavis to not take their first offer and that they give you a big ole bottle of mad dog 20 20 to drink before you donate blood.

The boys arrive to the blood drive mobile. 
Around the blood mobile are signs posted that read:
"Thanks blood donors, we sure wish we could pay you"
"we need your free blood"
"Give blood and get a lousy cookie in return"
"thank you for giving your blood without thought of compensation"

As the boys look at all these signs, butthead says "woah, we're gonna be rich"
The boys laugh then head inside the blood mobile.
Inside, you see all that is happening inside as country music plays in the background.
blood on tables and cots. Syringes and bags full of blood are everywhere as a nurse at the far end of the trailer is at her desk.

The nurse, with square framed eye glasses and blonde poofy hair approaches the boys and asks if she can help them.

"we got blood" butt head says
Beavis chimes in "wanna buy some?"

The nurse then asks if they are 18 or older.
"uh no" says butthead
she asks if they've been screened for diseases of the circulatory system
"no, says beavis"
The nurse then asks if the boys are on any kind of medication.
The boys simply laugh with cracked looks on their faces.

"Good enough, beggars cant be choosers" says the nurse in which she tells the boys to sit down and roll up their sleeves.
As the nurse approaches beavis and butthead with the needles they get nervouse and shake. Beavis asks about the mad dog 20 20 Butthead asks if they get anything first.

Then urse replies "yes, the thanks of the community"

The boys scream as the needles stab into their arms as blood bursts out of them.
the nurse is telling the boys about when the bags get full and walks away to answer the phone thats now ringing at her desk.

As the bags fill enormousely large of blood from the boys, the nurse realized the person calling is a dude names tyler.
She turns away from the boys and starts yelling at tyler saying
"of course i sound mad, I bear your 3 children, seen you through detox 4 times, then you vanish for 15 years, and now you call me at work, how bad do you think i miss you, well guess again, you're the saddest excuse for a...." the nurse stops yelling at tyler after she looks at beavis and butthead with their blood bags larger than them. She turns back to the phone to tyler and says "I gotta go, come around 9 and wear that mesh under shirt" then hangs up

She runs to the boys' bodies which are now skeleton thin from all of their blood in the bags.
She tells them to forget about the donation and gives them each a fig newton.

cut to shot of the blood mobile from outside as the boys walk out, carrying the huge bags of their blood over their shoulders, then collapse onto the ground.

The boys are now back home sitting on the couch, skinny and drained of blood as the needles in their arms are still pumping blood out of them. Their TV shows another movie trailer for a gory murder film called bloodbath.

Butthead laughs and says "bloodbath, that sound cool"
He then grabs his bag of blood and throws it on beavis, making the bag burst and leaving beavis completely red and covered in blood.

Beavis says "that was cool"
