The Boys Are Back In Town, Beavis and Butt-Head Are Here In 2011
If I was compiling a list of 90′s television series that would, most likely, never be revived again, Beavis and Butt-head would certainly hold a spot on it. But nostalgia for the grungy decade is “in” these days and my excitement for the return of the mumbling, grumbling bastard-children overcomes me at the moment as MTV released a nice-sized “sneak peek” today of an upcoming episode from the new season of the show, being res-erected this year, entitled Holy Cornholio. Did you hear what I just said? The hooded menace is back and from the video you can expect more classic pill-munching schizophrenia and Freudian anal obsessiveness from the nutcase.
With an announcement made earlier in the year of a planned reboot, it didn’t become a reality to me until it was in front of my eyes. This teaser video did, in fact, assuaded a couple uncertainties about the show’s second life, I, like many other fans, held. One very important issue being the reinstatement of couchside pop-culture criticisms. When I say this I’m referring to those segments in the original show where the lovable imbeciles would narrate and crack jokes over some music video that was popular at the time. What we actually get is brilliance beyond the commentating of a Radiohead video, instead the nitwits watch, another MTV production, Jersey Shore.
Butt-head going to town on Snooki and the rest of the guidos is just priceless, invaluable humor. Imagine the future possiblities. I hope to see the boys ribbing over Lady Gaga videos wishing they could watch Headbanger’s Ball again. Sorry to bore you with my stream-of-consciousness blabber over here. Now back to business.
There’s no officially slated release date as of now but we can be sure that Mike Judge has voiced and animated at least a full season’s worth of material to come out, I’m guessing, soon. This 5-minute long clip is hardly enough to hold me over but, for now, it’ll have to do. After about two decades of retirement, Beavis and Butt-head are still rocking the same signature threads and are ready to expose themselves to the masses once again. Huh-huh, Huh-huh, dude I said “exposed asses.”
