"El Dia De Los Muertos Estupidos" is the 16th episode from season 7 of The Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy.
Synopsis[]
When Harold drives Billy, Mandy, and Grim to the hamburger restaurant, they somehow end up in Mexico. There, the people are celebrating Dia de los Muertos, but local kids say it may be the last celebration ever, because Del Uglio, a masked and ugly luchador, is set on stealing the "Golden Nose of Chipotle", a pre-Hispanic relic on which the festivity is based. To get to the nose, Del Uglio has one half of the map, while the other half is held by his lost twin brother, who oddly enough, turns out to be Billy.
In the end, Grim defeats Del Uglio, but it is Mandy who keeps the golden nose for herself and sells it, which makes her rich, all while abandoning Grim, Billy and Harold in Mexico.

- The story of the origin of Dia de Los Muertos that the boy tells is based on the conquisition of Hernando Cortes in 1518. The true origin of the holiday takes place in such cultures as the Mayans.
