5.6 "Hard Sell" Trivia Quiz

Answer: Moby Dick

The episode began at the boys' home where they were watching television. They were laughing at the programming and then all of a sudden the announcer said they would be back with more of the show, "Moby Dick", in a little bit. One of the commercials they saw advertised a job in telemarketing.

Answer: 100 Dollars

A woman was in an advertisement on television for a telemarketing position and she inquired as to if anyone would like to get paid 100 dollars per day to just be on the phone and converse with unique individuals. Beavis and Butt-head expressed pleasure at this type of job. Butt-head said they could help a lot of people with that kind of money.

Answer: Magazines

Beavis and Butt-head went to the place that was advertised on television and met with the person who would decide whether or not to hire them. The guy said how he loved telemarketing since you give them a good spin and then take the customer's money. He mentioned that the item they would be selling is magazines.

Answer: National Geographic

The person interviewing Beavis and Butt-head said they could not laugh on the job or else they would not be number one in the telemarketing industry. The two laughed and then Butt-head asked if they sold graphic magazines. Beavis then laughed and suggested that "National Geographic" was a risqué publication.

Answer: False

The person interviewing the duo asked that Butt-head read the script so he could measure his ability to effectively sell a product to a customer over the phone. Butt-head read slowly and mangled parts of the script. This started to peeve the person but then Butt-head and Beavis advised him to go easy since they considered it complicated.

Answer: Star Trek

Midway through the episode, the duo was in the call center ready to commence their first venture into telemarketing. Butt-head put on the speaker phone and started to say, "Kirk to Scotty, Kirk to Scotty, I need more speed". This was a reference to characters on "Star Trek" and that phrase was mentioned quite often on the show.

Answer: Mr. Anderson

Beavis first called up Mr. Anderson since he was on the roll sheet. He quickly read off his script but Mr. Anderson stopped him since he said he was not interested in buying from him. However, Beavis mentioned that he had guns and ammunition so this intrigued Mr. Anderson.

He asked Beavis to sign him up for a gross so Beavis agreed. However, Mr. Anderson did not realize that Beavis was selling him a magazine on guns and ammunition.

Answer: Refrigerator

Butt-head's second call was to a woman but he was unable to completely finish the script. He then asked her if her refrigerator was walking (he messed up the famous prank phrase, "Is your refrigerator running? Well then you better go catch it!"). This annoyed his supervisor so he told Butt-head to just stick to the point of selling magazines.

Answer: He strangled them

The supervisor wanted to walk through with Butt-head how a successful call went so he put a call on speaker phone to train him. During this, Butt-head slacked off and Beavis also said something that indicated to the supervisor that neither one was serious about the job. This infuriated him so he strangled the two and kicked them out.

Answer: False

Beavis got his second caller on the line and the guy answered with a "Hello?" so Beavis simply said "Hello?" back. He also asked the person how it was going so the person asked Beavis who was calling. Beavis said he did not know and then told him that perhaps he had the wrong number. Beavis then said he could sign him up for something gross but the man hung up.
