View Full Version : Beavis and Butthead Returning?

REVIEWniverse has exclusively learned from an anonymous source that Mike Judge is currently outlining 30 new episodes of his iconic animated comedy Beavis and Butt-Head for its native network.
The source conceded that plans for actual broadcast are not yet cemented, or even a given, but confirmed that the King of the Hill/Office Space/Idiocracy maestro is definitely in the midst of writing new B and B material with the hopes of a full-throttle return...Judge plans on retaining the show's original ghetto-tech aesthetic, right down to the faded color palatte.

When I read it the biggest doubt I had was whether they'd try to update it with really good animation and make the show into more of a Family Guy thing or something.
But it was pretty sweet to hear that they intend to keep the same style, and Mike Judge is writing it.
As long as it's Beavis and Butthead watching videos and engaging in activities like taking spanish fly and rolling tires down hills, I will watch it.

That's no shit. It just didn't look right. And the voices weren't the same. It was absolute garbage. I doubt the same people were involved with it the second time around though. As long as Mike Judge is in charge then I say it's gonna be the classic Beavis and Butthead we all love and miss.

B&B is by far a pioneer in the realm of "mature" or "crass" cartoons. I'm positive that without this show their would have been no South Park, Drawn Together, ATHF, the list goes on and on. But taking into account how many of these shows exist, is their room for a returning classic such as this. I recall how psyched I was when Ren & Stimpy returned with new episodes on Spike a year or three ago, and of course that ended in disappointment. As Jeritron mentioned, as long as they keep the old animation (not to say that a little spruce up wouldn't hurt) and Mike Judge stays at the helm, it should be okay.
On a side thought, I've always envisioned Beavis & and Butthead returning but as half hour program consisting solely of the two dudes watching present day videos and commenting on them.

I'm pretty sure a lot more than 90% of people disliked that.

I feel worried about this now, like it will spawn a "whole new generation" of fans who will ruin it somehow like Napoleon Dynamite or something, and I will feel embarrassed to have my avatar.

Never really got into it.
I don't know about this. Beavis and Butthead was perfect for the time that it originally aired. It might not work well in a 2010 internet-ubiquitous culture where it will air right before The Kardashians Go to a Beach.

I'm all for it, IF they keep the original asthetics in place as the article mentioned. If it tries to be too much about today and being culturally relevant with today's music and society and what not, maybe not so much.

DrA nailed it on the head.
It is like if Mike Myers decided to make a Wayne's World 3 now. Just wrong.

On July 14, 2010, the return of Beavis And Butt-head was confirmed to the New York Post by sources at MTV. Mike Judge will create the new series and once again provide the voices of Beavis and Butt-head. The new series will feature Beavis and Butt-head still in high school and will feature current music videos for the duo to comment on and make fun of.
They NEED to keep this like it was. Same market etc. Ofc there will be changes, but they still need the music vids, old, new and other music (RnB etc). Just don't butcher it completely. It needs to keep it's soul.

I highly look forward to it and hope with this news, they put out a DVD of all the episodes the 3 Best of Volumes didn't have.

"The problem with" things like this is that when a show returns years later, it always seems like it is trying way too hard to "capture the essence" of the old show and just ends up seeming like some dickhead wrote some shitty "fan fiction" or something where they just repeat old jokes for a "cheap pop." Always seems really forced.
Mostly worried about the Napoleon Dynamite quoting thing though.

Was just watching a DVD of The Animation Show by Mike Judge and there is an intro "by" Beavis and Butt-head. It is from 2006 and it is still funny so it is making me feel like this would actually be good.

Wouldn't mind seeing B&BH talk about Kanye West videos. They were cool in the 90's but seeing them in the 10's would be fresh. Especially with Ke$ha videos

When I was a teenager I was the biggest Beavis and Butthead fan. I owned all of the VHS tapes + all the books they did. The Ensucklopedia was the best. I hope the new episodes stay true to the old ones.

The new show, which debuts later this year, will be very familiar to fans of the Nineties original. "They'll be self-contained segments with the boys in different situations like they used to be," Toffler says. "But this time around, they'll watch Jersey Shore, UFC matches and user-generated videos from YouTube, in addition to music videos." All of the programming will be displayed on the duo's TV, even if it comes from YouTube — "like silly videos of cats playing music."

2:05 seconds in and I am in tears because of happiness. Seriously. I am so fucking happy right now I could hug somebody stupid!
The dialogue in this is fucking classic!
Although, does it seem like Mike Judge is a little rusty doing Beavis' voice?

Hoping they find a way to connect it to King of the Hill's canon but I may be asking for too much.

Hopefully this doesn't suck. I probably watched Beavis and Butthead do America 100 times from 6th to 8th grade as well as all the episodes. Adding the random clips on top of music videos could be amazing.

Now if only MTV could re-revive Celebrity Deathmatch and all would be right with the world.
They tried that a few years ago. It sucked.
