Title.
I’m hoping to move on to Idiocracy pretty swiftly but need an overture.
If I am being honest I do not think Gen Z’ers as a whole would appreciate that kind of humour based on my experience with people in that age group. Obviously not a universal rule, but that kind of humour doesn’t seem very relevant to newer generations.
Frankly - my kids in front of the tv is pure Beavis and Butt-head :D
Fair point!
If the end goal is moving to Idiocracy, I do not remember exactly the episode but I do remember Beavis and Butthead met people who were dumber than them, which was the whole episode, and the humour felt a lot like what Idiocracy was as a whole.
It has been a long time since I saw the show so hopefully you know what I am talking about, and that I am not misremembering it. haha
I watched Idiocracy last night. It’s still funny, but it hits way closer to home now.
I used to love an episode where Butthead gets a nosebleed and keeps making it worse and worse, I think it was just called Nosebleed. There was another episode where he thinks he’s pregnant. I was a teenager at the time so I don’t know if they’re still funny.
Actually the film (Beavis and Butthead Do America) stills holds up. I watched about a year ago and still enjoyed it. There’s a newer film which is supposed to be really good but I haven’t watched it yet.
Do America is still so funny I laughed the entire way through it.
Hehehehe “slots”
After gerting a full cavity search:
huhuh, did I just score?
I often work “Don’t stop 'til you reach the back of their teeth!” into conversation…
Is that a god dam?
I also think it was called Nosebleed and is my answer to this question as well. That one and Worker’s Constipation are my favorites.
Cornholio.
it’s difficult because they don’t come with the music videos anymore. that was peak beavis & butthead. breakin the law. breakin the law…
If you were out on the high seas, one may search for the “King Turd collection” which was assembled by fans to be the most complete version of the original show out there.
Yar. Thank ye.
Like a lot of things from the past, it’s best to view this in context. The original B&B ran from '93 to '97, long before internet streaming was a thing. Commercial radio still controlled what music most people heard. This show broke the mold and exposed people to A: underground music that didn’t get airplay “ladies and gentlemen… the Butthole Surfers” and B: older music that didn’t get played on the radio anymore. FM radio was pretty freeform until the mid 80’s when deejays were required to stick to a strict playlist. The impact was obvious when CD sales spiked for old/underground music after being featured on the show. Same thing for songs used in video game soundtracks.
The overture is Office Space.
That shit is a documentary.
Now I gotta rewatch Ren and Stimpy
As a Gen Zer who’s into 90s adult animation, I don’t think B&B needs a particular episode. It’s a pretty simple show when it comes down to it, it’s a bunch of gags about stupid people being stupid.
I re-watched a few episodes recently. I agree that it’s simply not going to resonate with anyone younger than a Millennial. There was a lot of cultural context and subtexts that made sense at the time that will absolutely be lost on Zoomers.
Just go straight to Idiocracy. It doesn’t need prologue any more than Office Space would.
whorehouse
“I am the great Cornholio!”
Would you like to see my portfolio?
Maybe something from the 2022 reboot?
