Beavis and Butthead

[cosine]

You're aware that Mike Judge created Beavis and Butthead before he did Office Space, King of the Hill, and whatever else you might know him for?  Or maybe you don't like those either. 

Unsurprisingly, no, I don't especially like those either.

B and B were really great, comedic genius.
MTV started off horrible and got worse,
the vids were just plain lame wussy , cheesy and gay, but not in a Judas Priest gay more like
a Donny Osmond trying to look tough kind of gay. village people gay.
there was no real metal or punk.
Someone needed to tell Jounrey and that ilk that they suck and rock isn't for crybabies
Winger really sucked, Bon Jovi really sucks.
Some one needed to tell corporate rock to stfu!
thank God for B & B and south park. 
real metal is far superior to most of the crap that passes for rock, I look in the rock sections of stores
and see indigo girls!
that aint rock !!!!
Just because some whiney crybaby is under thirty and gay does not mean it's rock!
Priest may be gay but it rocks, old Bowie, gay but it rocks,
...Metalica? not only rocks but is as good as Mozart and Schuman, AC/DC rocks!

When that movie came out in front of the theatre was two life sized stand up cardboard cut outs of B and B, they had motion detectors and when you stood in front of them they said "hey baby"
I was standing near one a 14 yr old girl walked past and it said "hey baby" and I allmost had to fight
her dad untill I convinced it was Beavis!

Crude sophomoric humor, crudely drawn and often poorly voice acted, it still offered a welcome relief of humor after a long day at work.

That is most definitely true.  All the major radio stations played almost nothing but crap.  A bunch of bands came out of Chicago and Seattle, played smaller clubs, but won a much bigger following in the end.  People called it alternative rock, but there was nothing alternative about it.  The free market works in the end.

That's what I always said.  It was just rock.  Maybe it was just marketing.

B&B was the right cartoon at the right time, its still funny.

You know, I maybe could appreciate it just a little bit more if I understand correctly that its subject matter was kind of supposed to be a parody, a satire of the "culture of high school retards." That's the impression I got from some of the responses in this thread.



Maybe.



I'm still not totally convinced.

I agree that Beavis and Butthead was the right show at the right time. ATHF, however, is timeless

It was satire about a substantial part of an entire generation.  I guess you just had to be there.

HnnnHnnn, HehnnnHehnnnn-you said "little part".  HnnHnnn-cool, Hehnnn!

Yeah, it was a time before kids became emo, a time before the Internet was commonplace.  It was the dark ages...

Did you also think that the Simpsons were supposed to be role models?
