Beavis and Butt-head are best experienced in short bursts. The new feature, "Beavis and Butt-head Do the Universe", is frustratingly loaded with annoying non-Beavises and non-Butt-heads, and plot deviations that have nothing to do with the single-minded obsessions we cherish these two lovable innocents for. Rating: one Huh.
I'm glad to see they are back in the vignette brève configuration that best suits their unique, subtle exploration of the human foibles we can all understand. In "Escape Room", an unforeseen circumstance throws them into a situation that will require all of their considerable wile to handle. Luckily, a handle does present itself, and they are able as ever to resolve any difficulty by shifting their expectations away from problem-solving to making the best of things. If only we all could do likewise. Two huhs.
"The Special One" is quite an unexpected surprise. Butt-head does not appear this time; instead it allows Beavis to meet his soulmate - will he score? The answer upends our expectations - perhaps what is Cool and what Sucks are after all situational. Ten heh-heh-hehs.
