Beavis and Butt-Head

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.

This is the exact same hilarity as the original show. This is a can't miss revival that was way overdue. You'll be laughing through the entire show. It even takes some time to let beavis explore the world by himself.

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.

These new episodes are awesome. Mike Judge still has it. The episode where the YouTuber whispers into the camera & makes sounds with Crayola markers had me dying. I haven't laughed that hard in a while. Don't sleep on these new episodes. They're hysterical.

I really liked the new episodes. I think they've been well adapted and continue to make me laugh, but the videos that have come in to replace the musicals (or on new musicals) are so bad that they make me think twice about skipping them and, therefore, take a lot of the fun out of the whole thing. I'd enjoy it a lot more if it was ONLY Beavis and Butt-Head. Or replace the terrible extra videos with something that has something to do with the humor of the series. Anything but idiotic youtubers. Even if they're about music, let it at least be something interesting. And no matter how much they say otherwise, there are plenty of good bands or projects waiting to be discovered or viewed. This will do everyone a great favor, especially the audience.
