Now, they're tackling other unfamiliar frontiers, like an escape room… and a cardboard box.

In fact, that was the last time we saw them, and during that outing, they traveled to space and through time. Their made-for-streaming movie certainly proved that already. Now, they're back with more misadventures: a slew of fresh episodes rebooted for modern audiences that should appeal to fans old and new.įor anyone concerned that time had done something crazy to Beavis and Butt-Head, like help them to finally mature or learn how to be productive members of society, don't worry they're still just as comically moronic as you remember.

After returning to the small screen from a hiatus that lasted over a decade, the pair starred in this summer’s Beavis and Butt-Head Do the Universe, a Paramount+ exclusive that found the teenage slackers doing what they do best: trying to score and being their arrestingly stupid selves. When Beavis consumes too much sugar or caffeine, he pulls his shirt over his head, acts erratically, and calls himself “the Great Cornholio.” In this state, he often mutters nonsense and repeatedly demands “TP for my bunghole” or “bungholio.It truly is the summer of Beavis and Butt-Head. In response, references to Beavis‘s pyromania were dropped from later episodes, but the creators later alluded to the incident in a scene where Beavis, working in a fast-food burger joint, punningly cheers, “Fryer! Fryer!”Īnother recurring gag is Beavis‘s alter ego, Cornholio. In 1993, the show was blamed for inspiring a fire set by a five-year-old. In early episodes, Beavis would chant “Fire! Fire!” while playing with fire. Over the course of the series, Beavis became known for his dim wit, crass sense of humor, underbite, large forehead, unusual laugh, raspy and nasal voice, and fascination with fire. The show featured the title characters idly causing trouble and criticizing popular music videos of the day. Judge later said that he named Beavis after a neighbor named Bobby Beavis, who, he was quick to say, was nothing like his character, a caricature of a delinquent, grunge-loving teen.īeavis and Butt-Head ran on MTV from 1993 to 1997, rebooted for one season in 2011. Later that year, MTV bought the short and hired Mike Judge (the creator) for an ongoing series with the characters Beavis and Butt-Head. Beavis first appeared in an animated short called Frog Baseball, presented at a 1992 international animation festival.
