Mike Judge presented the first five minutes of OUR generation’s Beavis and Butthead, which is also called Beavis and Butthead, at Comic-Con this week. But you can watch it here without all the Nerd Panic of the carnival.

  1. I don’t get it, where’s the CGI?

  2. This is the opening act to the Pixies’ “Doolittle” tour, right?

  3. Nerd Panic Room starring Jodie Foster and her grown-up, live-in son, played by Jesse Eisenberg, probably. Clark Duke? Details are most certainly not important here.

  4. Every time I think I’m out, they puuuuuuuul me back in.

  5. Oh look, it’s the SS Beavis and Butthead. There is goes, sailing away. Indeed, that ship has sailed.

  6. I think the Jersey Shore part would have been funnier if Beavis and Butt-Head just didn’t say anything at all.

  7. I can’t be the only person who is excited for this, can I?

    • It’s a big world out there, so the chances are that there is in fact someone else who’s excited about this.

      I could see how this would be funny if it weren’t for the existence of reruns, youtube, and people who still like to quote the Cornholio episodes. But seeing as how pretty much every joke was recycled from 1994, it was kinda lame.

    • i feel really weird about it. like, i was in 6th grade or so when it originally came out, and it was such a huge deal to go over to my friends house that had MTV (cuz my family didnt get cable tv or internet until i was way in high school- old lady over here) and it felt completely subversive and strange. and it just doesn’t seem that it would have the same level of impact for today’s kids who basically have probably seen way, way worse on tv. like, jersey shore is way more fucked up and offensive, you know? also- do kids like beavis and butthead even exist anymore? like, when i was in middle school/high school, there definitely were fucking weiiiiiird burn our metal heads all over the place. i dated quite a few, yay me. but i feel like that zeitgeist is maybe over? so where is the audience? all of this confuses me. also insert all sorts of other questions about how necessary it is to reinvent a counter culture that already existed. in short- i’m confused.

    • Well, I definitely lol’d at the Jersey Shore part. So…no?

      • “I’m a whore, hello?”
        “That’s how she answers the phone.”

        • “If that family tree kept going, we could figure out where Herpes came from.”

          • Thought the story was kind of meh but the Jersey Shore stuff was fantastic. Gross violence was never their thing, so that’s annoying. And pulling out Cornholio straight away is serious pandering to get your attention fast… then having him as a leader of a cult? Lazy.

            I understand Judge wants to grab everyone’s attention fast, but he should have maintained the same rhythm. And I never say anything bad about anything Mike Judge has ever done because King of the Hill is just perfect and Idiocracy? Let alone everything else. Oh, that Extract movie was a giant fucking disappointment. But I think this show could be good. I like that they’re making fun of the terrible MTV shows as MTV no longer plays videos.

            That being said, I still think about that episode in which they cut their hair and glue it to their face, thinking they have cool beards like ZZ Top and go to the mall to try to pick up sluts.

            Plus Beavis and Butthead paved the way for Daria. So if you say anything bad about this show in its old incarnation or current, I will cut you.

  8. More yawn-inducing ideas for nostalgia mining reboots:

    - Daria: The Mid-Thirties Years!
    - Liquid Television 3000
    - Remote Control LCD
    - TRL LOL ASAP

    • -Are You STILL Afraid of the Dark, You Fucking Pansy?
      -The Secret Drug Addiction of Alex Mack
      -Doogie Howser, Chief of Medicine
      -The Jetsons (set in actual 2011)

    • ‘Oh I did not find that comment of his to be funny at all. I am clicking the grumpy hand icon because that’s how I feel about this guy. Argh, this guy! I mean come on already, enough!’ – That Person

  9. Much Like Summer’s Eve, Beavis and Butthead Advocate Screwing your Hands

  10. Somewhere, in a dim studio apartment, Dan Cortese sits solemnly beside a silent telephone.

  11. LOL! FUCK YEEAAAHHHH!!! Daddy like.
