Beavis and Butt-Head

Mike Judge manages to awaken the sleeping deviant inside fans of the original series in this updated version of the 90s classic that inspired (or uninspired) the MTV generation.

While the days of introducing the youth of America to heavy metal legends, such as White Zombie and Alice in Chains have long passed, this fresh take on these two legendary heathens in the modern universe doesn't disappoint die hard fans who recall their first glimpse of Beavis and Butthead from "The Liquid Television" days.

Beavis and Butthead are still the same burnt out, oblivious ne'er do-wells aging metalheads know and love. Judge even manages to slip a music video into the online content teens (such as Beavis and Butthead) watch today, maintaining relevance and increasing believability for a younger audience.

While this classic buddy show has been so often written off as mindless nonsense, and even credited with the dissolution of morals and attention spans of America, Its longevity, and that of it's talented and thoughtful creator, solidifies what Gen X stoners always knew, Mike Judge is a god damn genius, who reflected the angst and confusion of a transitional generation, often treated like criminals at the onset of puberty. He gave them something that felt like theirs, a secret code of sorts that their parents couldn't understand. And now he's done it again, proving himself a hero, a light in the darkness who comes through when the world needs to laugh at itself the most.

Or have Butt-Head gotten a a tad more intelligent over the years? I recall these two back in the day when I was a kid. Shows sticks to the original formula and it is nice to see them back in action. Good stupid fun all around.

Beavis and Butt-Head (2022) is a series that I recently watched on Paramount+. The storyline follows our two friends, Beavis and Butthead, in a new world of music, technology and worldly entertainment since we lost saw them. A new world opens the door for new hijinks.

This series was created by and contains the voices of legend Mike Judge (King of the Hill) and also contains the voices of Piotr Michael (Lightyear), Chris Diamantopoulos (True Story), Kosha Patel (Girlboss) and Mary Birdsong (Reno 911).

This stays so true to the original Beavis and Butthead decades later. I was thoroughly impressed at how well this brought me back to those days when this series was on TV. The jokes are perfect as is the circumstances and how our characters react to it. Loved the situations and old characters they brought back into the universe also. Just about everything about this relaunch is perfect.

Overall, this couldn't have been better relaunched by Paramount+. I would score this a 10/10 and strongly recommend it.

I remember being pretty disappointed in 2011's season 8 of Beavis and Butt-head because it tried too hard to integrate rap and hip-hop videos in place of the heavy metal videos of B&B's original hay-day. This series does a MUCH better job of staying true to how B&B would react to today's pop and social media videos. And, of course, the skits are much truer to the original series as well. Three cheers to Paramount+ and Mike Judge! Thanks for bringing this cult classic back to life for this generation and mine!

In this political correct age im glad Beavis and butthead are still the same.

There antics are hilourios and I am laughing and loving every episode.

We need more shows like this.
