The Hills (finally) ended its goddamn run on MTV this week. Let's never speak of that show ever again. (Although I did have a secret thing for Lo Bosworth on that show... just throwing that out there.)


Anyways, it's been CONFIRMED that NEW EPISODES OF BEAVIS & BUTTHEAD are in the works!

'Beavis and Butt-head" -- the show that celebrated the slacker way of life and helped make MTV into a network that did more than just play music videos -- is coming back. The move to resurrect the hugely popular 1990s animated anti-heroes has been rumored for several days. But yesterday, sources at MTV confirmed that a new batch of "Beavis and Butt-head" episodes are in the works. The new series would keep Beavis and Butt-head in their perpetual high-school state, but it would be updated so that the pals -- who obsessively watch music videos on a battered TV set -- could lob their snarky comments at more current targets like Lady Gaga. The show's minimalist animated style is also expected to remain intact. The return of "Beavis and Butt-head" will be a backdoor means for MTV to return to showing music videos -- something the network was founded upon but abandoned in the last decade to make room for popular reality shows like "Laguna Beach," "The Hills" and "Jersey Shore." "Beavis and Butt-head," which premiered in 1993, began as an animated short called "Frog Baseball," which aired on MTV's "Liquid Television." The basic plotline revolved around two shorts-wearing, spectacularly immature teenage pals whose banter was delivered against the backbeat of their constant idiotic laughter. Series creator Mike Judge, who's also creating the new episodes, voiced both characters. The guys worked at a fast-food joint and were always out to "score" with "chicks" when they weren't sitting on a ratty couch watching music videos. Beavis, the blond half, usually wore a Metallica T-shirt and would morph into his crazed, gibberish-spewing alter-ego, "Cornholio," when he ingested too much sugar. Butt-head was the "cooler" of the two. He usually wore an AC/DC T-shirt and often picked on Beavis in much the same way Moe would slap around Curly, Larry and Shemp on "The Three Stooges." The duo was so successful they were spun off into a 1996 big-screen movie, "Beavis and Butt-head Do America" and a marketing juggernaut of T-shirts and character trinkets. A recurring character on the show, high-school classmate Daria (whom they called "Diarrhea"), eventually got her own MTV series. After MTV canceled "Beavis and Butt-head" in 1997, Judge went on to create "King of the Hill" for Fox. He also wrote the cult-classic movie comedy "Office Space" and last year's big-screen movie "Extract." MTV officials had no comment yesterday. Judge is "not commenting at this time," his publicist said.

I'M IN. SO IN.

Time to dig out my old copy of the late '90's Beavis & Butthead PC game. Hope it works on Windows 7.

AHHHHHHHHHHHH MAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH GHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAD

THIS IS THE BEST NEWS EVAR!!!!

I <3 Mike Judge. Lol

OMFG, this cannot be true. Beavis & Butthead was the funniest shit. A ways back when I was around 5 years old or somewhere around their, i forget, my parents always switched the channel or shut the tv off when that show came on. I guess they didn't want me to repeat what Beavis & Butthead said, because I would have at the time.

Cannot wait for it to come back.

Never seen the show. Sounds seriously familiar though.

My sisters were in high school. I was able to watch it cause my mom and dad really couldn't police me being in the same room with them, especially when babysitting. I still grew up not saying bad words around my parents. I knew better. Haha.

Not just Beavis & Butthead, but its spinoff Daria was a pretty awesome show too. I think the entire collection just came out on DVD (albeit with the standard 'switched audio tracks' shit). I should pick it up.


And yeah, I'm with John on this one. I remember when this shit premiered on MTV. It came on at 7pm every night and for the first 10 months or so there were only like 15 episodes that they constantly replayed. Back then MTV actually played music so it was fine. (And since B&B were well ahead of their time it was alright to only have a few episodes.) Early on they had a lot of episodes and scenes that eventually got removed from circulation, like the Mexico episode where they smuggle drugs and whack some Mexican kid to death with a pinata bat.


I still have a few old Beavis & Butthead posters that I had back in college. One is the standard headbanging pose, one is a Beavis 'Cornholio' poster, and the other one is Beavis & Butthead in a dryer with the quote, "Huh huh huh. I just made my pants dirtier."


I have the Beavis & Butthead Do America DVD and the Beavis & Butthead Experience CD. The Nirvana song on it is awesome, as well as Come To Butthead:




"I would do something that, like, really sucks... for your loooooove. I would do, like, homework and stuff... for your loooooove."


I used to have this old Beavis & Butthead book that came out in the mid-'90s. Don't remember the name but it was funny as hell. It had such stupid shit in it like, "who would win in a fight, Vince Neil (Motley Crue singer) or a blade of grass?". It also had lyrics to Van Driessen songs (that hippie teacher). I wonder if that book is available in ebook form anywhere on the net? I need to hunt that down if so.

I loved Daria too, and King of the Hill was a spinoff kinda too, cause wasn't Hank or one of the other characters based off of the neighbor of theirs? Or... wait, was it just some quick appearance of Hank in an episode or two? I can't remember.

I HATE King of the Hill.

Yeah after I typed that I went and read about it. They are based off the same person in Mike Judge's life. Lol So it's KINDA a spinoff, but not exactly.

Beavis & Butt-head officially returns to MTV on October 27th, 2011. I can't wait. Here is a preview clip:

Nothing has changed. I love the Jersey Shore comments, lol.

I now have a reason for continuing to draw air on a daily basis...

This is like a family tree, if your family was made of whores...
If they like did this chart long enough, they could find out where herpes began...

Snooki, "I'm a whore, hello..."
Butthead, "That's how she answers the phone..."

I didn't realized how much I had missed these guys (B&B, not Jersey Shore)

Thought the old show was stupid. Hasnt changed didnt laugh once

Amen Steve, amen. Beavis and Butt-head created a genre that previously hadn't existed. So many episodes that I literally fell off my couch because I was laughing so hard. The video commentaries were akin to Mystery Science Theater, but for music videos instead of movies. Some really good mocking of different bands.

I guess this means I'm old...

Omg. This entire thread is a blast from the past... LOL


I CAN'T FUCKING WAIT FOR BEAVIS AND BUTTHEAD. Soooooo excited. I should mark it on my calendar. Haha.

Steve, to play your Beavis & Butthead game in Windows 7, you may have to run it in MS-DOS compatibility mode...that's pimp.

MTV is really starting to advertise the B&B return heavily over the past few days. The other night they showed a trailer-esque commercial for the new episodes with lots of clips. (There is a shorter commercial running on MTV constantly, but it has nowhere near the content that this 'trailer' did.) I have to say, this show hasn't skipped a beat. Same animation, same B&B humor.

In one of the 'trailer' clips B&B were watching an episode of 16 & Pregnant. Butt-head remarked that, "this would be a lot better if they actually showed them getting pregnant." In another clip Butt-head wonders why girls are all into that vampire crap and Beavis & he go and try to get converted so they can pick up chicks. They end up finding a hairy, unshaven homeless guy in an alleyway, think he's a werewolf and ask him to bite them (which he does). B&B end up catching Hepatitis C from it, but while their condition deteriorates the morons think that they are undergoing the transformation, lol.


Can't wait. This is going to rule. October 27th @ 10pm Eastern time.

First episode of the new B&B season aired last night on MTV. Was as awesome as expected. The first half where they try to become undead to pick up chicks (due to the irresistibility of vamps/werewolves/undead on females) was classic.

The hippie teacher is back.
The buzzcut gym teacher is back.
Stewart is back (complete with Winger t-shirt too!).


MTV should re-run this like there's no tomorrow 'til next week's new episode so try and catch it if you can. Hell, it may even be on MTV's website. I don't know.

How the fuck have u not sen this show....it fkn rocked! Thier return is glorious and upgradesmtv 200%!!!!!
