Beavis and butthead are back, clips from new show.

[rlemmon]

Have you guys heard about beavis and buthead getting a new show? It's coming on this fall on mtv. It will be i a little different this time. They will be making fun of tv shows and i would guess videos two. I loved these guys when they were on and i cant wait to see them back,  i love this kind of stuff.

Hers some segments from the new show. I loved the cornholio one. I cant wait for this!

[Ginsu Victim]

Oh man, this is awesome. Loved the clip, especially, "That's how she answers the phone."

[hypernova]

Few funny parts here and there, but to me that show just couldn't hold me as after awhile their mannerisms start grating on me.

[wp34]

Makes me happy I can still laugh at those dudes.

[RayB]

Few funny parts here and there, but to me that show just couldn't hold me as after awhile their mannerisms start grating on me.

It was the opposite for me. Their mannerisms and constant "huh huh" was grating until I got into the show. There's genuine funny in there (it is Mike Judge after all).

It's a bit disappointing they are "rehashing" (Cornholio) but hopefully it was only done to bridge the two eras.

Will they be bagging on video games? That would cool.

[Donkbaca]

I don't find Mike Judge all that funny. I can't believe King of The Hill was on for 13 years, that's just nuts.  Office space is decent, but kinda overrated, Idiocracy was ok...  Plus, when Beavis and Butthead was on, what 20 years ago? I can see a thirties something writing about highschool aged nonsense, but Judge is pushing 50 now.....

I don't think it will be a suprise to anyone, but I enjoyed this show waaaay more than I should have growing up.  I enjoyed them sitting in front of the tv more than anything, so since that is back all is golden. 

I thought King of the Hill was a pretty terrible show, it's like Judge took B&B and then watered it down to the point that your parents could watch it and find it enjoyable.  The fact taht he just recycled voices from B&B didn't help either.  Hank Hill indeed Mr. Anderson. 


But I knew that KOTH brought in a lot of money and as long as it was on fox B&B would never return to MTV.  it should be of no suprise now that KOTH has been cancelled that Judge would decide to exploit his other cash cow.  Imho the world is a better place with Beavis and Butthead in it. 

hu huh.... I said "in it"  hu huh

heh heh yeah... you said "in it" he he he heh heh yeah....

huh huh yeah... that's cool

[Ginsu Victim]

Being a teen when it originally ran, you just reminded me of the worst part....dopey teens doing those voices all the time. I might not look forward to this as much as I thought.

[Ginsu Victim]

He always said he didn't like doing Beavis' voice because it hurt his throat, so as expected, he toned it down. Doesn't really bother me.

[Donkbaca]

People forget that he quit B&BH because he was tired of it and wanted to do KOTH instead. He Luke KOTH better. Like I said, the dude is pushing 50 now, don't see how much he can add seeing as how he stopped because he was burned out on it

[Ginsu Victim]

Yeah, but just because he was burned out then means nothing now. Bands break up and then get back together years (or decades) later because they miss it. I'm sure he can look back on B&B fondly now.

[Donkbaca]

Name one band that got back together that was half as good as they were before they broke up

[Howard_Casto]

Genesis, Journey, Metallica, Black Sabbath, Kiss, Aerosmith (I think they officially broke up like 8 times over the years).

Want any more?

I'm not trying to be a smart ass or anything, it's just a bad analogy because the average rock band breaks up 2 to 3 times over their history.  You know that one or two years when they didn't tour?  Well officially speaking they had broken up. 

[nitz]

I loved Beavis and Butthead, still do, and I'm a big fan of Mike Judge's work.

Not sure about a reboot though, as for me, these guys are intrinsically linked with '90s pop culture. I'm afraid it might seem odd to have them making fun of youtube videos and reality TV, but it's Judge, and it's Beavis and Butthead, so I'm definitely willing to give it a chance.

It's a bit disappointing they are "rehashing" (Cornholio) but hopefully it was only done to bridge the two eras.

+1

The cornholio bit was far from the funniest thing they ever did IMO, but people loved it for some reason so they kept doing it. Hopefully they're just bridging the eras as you said and retire it (or at least mostly retire it) shortly.

People forget that he quit B&BH because he was tired of it and wanted to do KOTH instead. He Luke KOTH better. Like I said, the dude is pushing 50 now, don't see how much he can add seeing as how he stopped because he was burned out on it

It's been quite a few years, but I seem to remember Judge saying something at the time B&B ended along the lines of, "We've pretty much done everything we can with these guys, so it's time to end it." But a lot as changed in pop culture since then, and I can totally picture Judge watching crappy youtube videos and ridiculous reality TV and muttering to himself, "Damn, I wish I was doing Beavis and Butthead now because there is so much fodder here...so why don't I bring it back!?"

I'm a bit surprised at the lack of love for KOTH I love that show! It's not bust a gut, laugh a minute, raunchy funny, so if that's mainly what you're into, then I guess you wouldn't like it. The show's humor comes from the idiosyncrisies of it's characters and how they deal with the situations they get into, and I think that's ultimately more satisfying in the long run, rather than most shows which just use plots and characters as a means for delivering gags. For that reason, it's also not the kind of show you can just watch once in awhile and really get into which could be why some people don't like it I guess.

Get your facts straight, Metallica NEVER broke up. They had a lineup change, thats totally different. Journey sounds exactly the same as they did with Steve Perry, and their new album is pretty cool. That type of music from the era they came from is really difficult to evolve from. Those type of fans want the same ---steaming pile of meadow muffin---. KISS goes on tour whenever they need money, same as the Rolling Stones, and Aerosmith. 

  and since when are you an expert on touring bands and music in general Howard? "officially speaking they had broken up" that made me laugh, I hope that was a joke!

Get YOUR facts straight.  Shortly after the second lineup change when James went into rehab they were unsure if they were ever going to tour again.. i.e. they were broken up. 

You don't have to have a big blow out fight for a band to be considered broken up.  Anytime a band stops touring and they don't have any plans to tour in the forseeable future they are broken up.  Thus the "officially" bit.

Your opinions on the bands I mentioned are irrelevant.  First off their albums, generally speaking sold about as well after reforming as they did pre-breakup so quantifiably they are as good as they were before they broke up.  Secondly, those were just bands I was personally familiar with that I threw out there as examples.  The point was bands break up constantly and they constnatly come back just as strong. 

Also you make the point that those sorts of bands don't evolve.  So?  That's considered being a  timeless classic.  You know, just like Beavis and Butthead, the subject we are SUPPOSED to be talking about.  They don't need to do anything new with the show.  The old formula was great so more of the same will do just fine.

Like most humans on this planet I enjoy music and have farily decent knowledge of the bands I follow.  I am by no means an expert on anything musically related.  On the other hand with you insulting my knowledge on the subject then you are suggesting that you are an expert in the music field..... I look forward to your new album.   

Regardless this isn't a debate about music, it's a debate about the new B&B.... I just used your musical example to show that your example pretty much proves the opposite of what you meant it to. 

Thanks for playing!

[Donkbaca]

I don't consider beavis and butthead a timeless classic, i consider it a dated fad

  What? Who calls not touring to be officially broken up? Most every band does not constantly tour and have periods where they are not planning touring either. They will face an inevitable burnout if they are continually planning tours. Jeez, most bands I listen to right now would be, in your definition, broken up because they are not touring, nor scheduled to tour. Funny how a number of these bands manage to write albums when they are broken up as well.

No, youre not paying attention. I said it was difficult for a band like Journey to evolve. To some fans dismay, Metallica evolved completely. Take a look at bands like Megadeth that dont evolve, they get left on the wayside.

And why do you think the makers of Beavis and Butthead are basing on TV shows rather than music videos? You know why? Cause they dont even make videos anymore, and if they do, nobody sees them because MTV doesnt even play videos anymore. They dropped the "music television" from the network, its just MTV. If Beavis and Butthead was such a "timeless classic" as you have stated, they wouldnt have to change the format. So...they had to evolve. When you create something, you dont want to stick with the same old thing, its boring, Im sure Mike Judge wants to return to what put him on the map because a ton of stuff has happened since the series was cancelled, and now he has more money to play around with. Look at the ---steaming pile of meadow muffin--- South Park gets away with. Times have changed, and hopefully Mike Judge can take advantage of that.

What do you think bands do when they arent touring? They are writing new albums to release so they can go on tour again. Unless youre a huge band like Metallica, you dont NEED to go on tour, you can take a few years off, write the album, and then go on tour. Most bands have to tour in order to stay relevent, and make money.

Sure thing, Ill send you a copy when its finished. Look up a band called Battalion of Saints. Im the drummer for that band. My uncle George Anthony is the lead singer.

Youre so much better than everyone howard. Thank you for gracing this thread with your amazing insight. "Bands that arent on tour are broken up".

They definitely couldn't match the awesomeness of Rust in Peace ever again.

[Donkbaca]

You figure that if Beavis and Butthead were a timeless classic, that it would be running in syndication somehwere.  It might be, but for the life of me I can't think of any place that runs old B&B episodes, unlike say, Seinfeld, which IS a timeless classic seeing as how its damn near everywhere.

I think Judge is so overrated.  He did B&B then wanted to stop doing it to focus on KoTH, and his films.  His films have been a bust, sorry, they have been, office space has a cult niche and its a nice little movie, idiocracy was pretty much a dud, marginally funny.  So he just rode that KoTH gravy train, because, apparently, if you are an animated show on Fox, you pretty much have job security. 

If Judge was that great, he would have thought of something new post KoTH, I think its more likely that he sees this as a quick way to make some dough.  The idea of teenage kids who were fans of metal bands who were mostly popular in the 80's was plausible in the early 90's.  The idea that there are teenage kids that listen to 80's metal and watch music videos, well, I just don't think there are many of those around now...

[Mikezilla]

Exactly. Its hard to compare Metallica to Megadeth, because Im a fan of both, I just like Metallica more. My point was that as a band, if you dont evolve, I feel as though what you create doesnt have the same impact it did in your hey day. I cant even name the last 2 Megadeth albums, but I can tell you Metallica's.

I know I derailed this a bit, I just couldnt let Howard get away with that horrible analogy. I just hope B&B doesnt suck. I kinda wished they left it alone, cause it left on a high note.

[Mikezilla]

And thats why they have to bash on TV shows and YouTube clips. Daniel Tosh already did that. Part of what made B&B appealing back in the day was that it was violent, and pushed the envelope for a cartoon that was on mainstream TV. Look at all the ---steaming pile of meadow muffin--- that is out now! Archer, South Park, Drawn Together, Metalocalypse, Aqua Teen Hunger Force, and pretty much anything on adult swim for that matter. I think he is just trying to bank on the name, and it will fizzle out after a season or two. 

I agree with Donk in saying that if it was so great it would be running in syndication somewhere. I forgot to mention that in my earlier post. 

[Mikezilla]

Pretty sure the reason it isn't syndicated is that the licensing of the music video segments is a complete nightmare.

Ah. Didnt think of that. I guess that would pose as a problem. Hell, when I used to watch it, I didnt even think the video commentary was that funny, I liked the actual show part way better.

Yeah, I think the commentary probably only came about because Mtv needed to tie music to their programming. A criteria that MTV programming hasn't needed to meet for many years now.

[Donkbaca]

I thought the commentary came about because there are only so many loogie jokes you can squeeze into a half hour, and the writers were lazy 

[Mikezilla]

Im still waiting for Howard to respond to my comment.

[NiN^_^NiN]

I love B&B always have and I think if done right it can be a big hit again.

Look at Daria that became a huge hit when B&B just stopped (Although it was from a totally different crew as it wasn't done by mike)

Their movie did well so I think if it can be done right it will be a big success for the current generation of kids and us older guys and gals who loved it.

BTW Has anyone got a clip of the new show?

[Ginsu Victim]

[Bootay]

I agree that it can be a hit. Nostalgia is in...why do you think the ---smurfy--- Transformers movies are so big. Not because they are good. If the Transformers movie came out and there was no such thing as the original Transformers series before the movie came out, things would have been much different. Only fans of the original series and kids whose parents were fans of the original series went to see it. Sure there were probably a few that went and never heard of Transformers before, but I don't think those numbers are very high.

Now they have Yogi Bear, The Chipmunks, G.I.Joe... He-Man and Thundercats is coming. Oh yea...and The Smurfs. Not saying that these movies are good or big hits or will be. The reason some of these flopped is because they changed too much of it, like G.I. Joe for example. But from what I see the B&B show is the same, so I think it will be a hit again as long as they do it right. Rehashing cornholio is probably not the best way...but who knows. I am sure fans of the original and kids whose parents are fans will like it at least and that is enough to keep the series afloat.

[ChadTower]

Holy hell.  Stop slapfighting over Metallica and just go with Aerosmith.

Few things ever come back and are as good as you remember them.  I really hope this will be one but fear it will mostly expose how stupid we were back then to have liked it so much.

The one thing keeping me hopeful is that the Beavis and Butthead Movie was way way way better than it had any right to be.  So maybe this will be too... 

[DCsegaDH]

I'm a fan of King of the Hill, I thought that was funny and somewhat realistic. I like the characters too. Beavis and Butthead rules, I hope their just as good as I remember. I seems like everyone is bringing back old stuff. I don't mind movie remakes and shows like this, it gives a new audience a chance to see it.
