Accidental Misnaming: After a (real life) American Senator referred to our heroes as "Beaver and Buffcoat" (see Fan Nickname on the Trivia tab), the show introduced a Running Gag in which Beavis and/or Butt-Head's names were mispronounced by people who didn't know them well.Abusive Parents: In "Drones", the boys recount Beavis's mother's attempt to leave him behind at an IKEA so she could go to Vegas with a gang of bikers.The revival and older episodes will also be a part of ViacomCBS' relaunched streamer Paramount+, with the duo making a few appearances in the Mega Crossover ad campaign alongside various other characters and personalities.
RETROPIE BEAVIS AND BUTTHEAD VIRTUAL STUPIDITY SERIES
On July 1, 2020, the boys were again Uncanceled, this time by Comedy Central (who had aired reruns of the show before) the network announced that the series would get two new seasons in which the dull-witted duo would face "a whole new Gen Z world", with plans for additional Spin-Offs and specials. However, Judge tried his best to find another network to pick the show up again, even as Silicon Valley took up most of his time.Įventually, Judge's persistence (and the end of Silicon Valley) paid off. The 2011 series, however, only lasted one season before being canceled again. In late 2011, the show returned to MTV while the format had been slightly tweaked - the snark segments now covered both music videos and MTV original shows such as Jersey Shore, Teen Mom and True Life, presumably to prevent the sort of rights issues that surround the original series' snark segments - the show remained the same otherwise. DVD and VHS releases of the series have left out most of the Music Video segments due to rights issues, losing a lot of the series' best moments. A later Mike Judge creation, King of the Hill, would retool Tom Anderson into the lead character of Hank Hill.
Additionally, supporting character Daria successfully spun off into her own show. Also spurring objections were the boys' constant use of fireworks to blow things up, along with their tendency to amuse themselves with physical violence and animal cruelty, most notably the infamous pilot episode "Frog Baseball".Ī total of 199 episodes were produced, as well as the 1996 feature-length film Beavis and Butt-Head Do America, several computer games, a 28 issue comic book series from Marvel Comics, and tons of associated merchandise. In one case in real life which apparently was inspired by the show's antics, a boy killed his brother by giving him a ride in a commercial dryer, the way one of the characters did to the other, which made the show rein in some of its more outrageous acts of stupidity. In any event, the incident, which was simply an unfortunate accident, scarred the boy possibly for life. It horrified the Moral Guardians from the get-go, and a few of its more controversial aspects had to be dropped - notably Beavis's pyromania, after they reportedly inspired a viewing child to set a fire in his house that killed his sister note According to the child's mother, it was his babysitter who apparently let him watch the series, and prior to the fire incident he would go around the house laughing like the main characters. The dimwitted duo were, in turn, foiled by the sarcastic Daria Morgendorffer, who occasionally tricked them into publicly embarrassing themselves, and local hot-rodder/gangleader Todd Ianuzzi, whom they admired but who invariably ended up maiming them (similar to how Stewart views them). The character who took the worst abuse was Principal McVicker, who was driven to drink, medication, and in the finale, a seemingly fatal heart attack. The most common targets of the boys' antics were their elderly neighbor Tom Anderson (who was basically an older, more senile prototype of Hank Hill), their geeky school classmate Stewart Stevenson, and most of the faculty of their high school.
