This show’s influence was so strong that it spawned a full-length film called “Beavis and Butt-Head Do America” in 1996 and another titled “Beavis and Butt-Head Do the Universe“ in 2022. The un-dynamic duo returned with an eighth, stand-alone season in 2011, and the series was revived last year. The original “Beavis and Butt-Head” arrived in 1993 on MTV and became an instant hit, running for seven seasons before going on hiatus in 1997. Judge devised one episode in which they marry each other without realizing it. There are a few bizarre tangents, particularly the return to an alternative universe where Beavis and Butt-Head are middle-aged. “That’s the beauty of ‘Beavis and Butt-Head’ - no matter what decade you were born in, you’re able to find ways to connect to them and even perhaps see bits of yourselves in them,” said Domenic DiMeglio, chief marketing officer for Paramount+. Judge relies on a producer to scour YouTube to find videos that might spark a spontaneous put-down. The look, feel and snark of the show hasn’t changed even if there are fewer music videos these days. It goes awry, of course, when he gets on a shuttle bus to a retirement community. There’s also a visit to a polling place - the boys mistake it for a strip club - and later a scheme to buy beer by spray-painting Beavis’ hair with white paint to make him look older. “Now try to empty your mind of all thoughts,” says the teacher.
“This sucks,” says Butt Head, the dark-haired one in braces and an AC/DC T-shirt. “It is almost fun sometimes to just go to that lazy part of your brain where you’re just blurting out whatever stupid thought comes out,” says Mike Judge, who created the duo and voices them.Ī second season of “Mike Judge's Beavis and Butt-Head” kicked off this month with our heroes at school-mandated meditation class, an alternative to detention. That’s right, Beavis and Butt-Head - forever un-matured - are on the streaming platform Paramount+ these days, still mocking culture and saying things like, “That cloud looks like a butt.” But it’s not the ‘90s until two of the most idiotic teenagers return, sniggering along the way. NEW YORK (AP) - The 1990s are making a comeback, with scrunchies acceptable again, “Night Court” back on TV and fanny packs and flannel all the rage.
