Beavis and Butt-Head

It would be easy to attack B&B as ignorant, vulgar, depraved, repulsive slobs. Of course they are. But that would miss the point, which is that they reflect the society that produced them. To study B&B is to confront our culture of narcissism, alienation, functional illiteracy, instant gratification, and TV zombiehood. Those who hate B&B are confusing the messengers with the message.

Easy to write off as trash, but its slap in the face to the very channel hosting it, and the very people watching it was priceless.

I personally find the music video/Shitty MTV show segments a lot funnier than the adventure parts of episodes, but both are pretty hilarious. I like how the duo are absolute morons put in normal, everyday places and situations but end up causing carnage that they completely misconstrue. I laugh pretty damn hard whenever they have the two comment on MTV's awful shows like 16 and Pregnant and Jersey Shore moreso than the music videos, but those can be pretty funny as well.

A landmark of the 1990s, not necessarily the funniest thing out there, but captures the spirit of its time and pretty unique for what it is.

This sort of stupid humour that Mike Judge excels at is something that really gets to me. "We were in-burrito." The duo lead a rather simplistic life, with simplistic goals, and are often oblivious to the carnage around them (that they caused), so it's no wonder '90s kids look up to them. Apart from the awfully animated earlier episodes, I can throw on any one and have a good chuckle, even the finale. I didn't really watch the music video commentaries so much, though.

Hear me out: there’s a erudite subtext. 🤣 It’s a little dark, though. They got placed in juxtaposition with the very media & culture they criticized, and the culture they satirized sometimes viewed them as almost aspirational icons, supposedly? Though they were a parody of a tragic archetype? Anyway, brilliant. 🤣 (*dodges staples shot from weaponized mechanical pencils, grabs desk shield and runs out of class*)

Hehehe. You said bone.

like 20 eps

I'm like angry at numbers. There's like too many of them and stuff.

Show was ok. Would have been a lot better if it wasn't interupted by music vids.
