*This is a holdover from the original "daily dose of awesome" blog. Sadly, I don't think the show ever came back, but it was fun while it lasted.
I have to admit, I was skeptical when MTV announced that they were bringing back Beavis and Butt-head. I watched, and enjoyed, it back when it was originally on the air, but it seemed like something relegated to the 90's. As it turns out, I was completely wrong, and the show is funnier than ever.
Just as it was in the original iteration, each episode centers on the titular pair as they wander into various misadventures as they try to get chicks. Don't expect any continuity between episodes. The stories rarely wrap up, and some become so ludicrous that it would be impossible to "follow up" with any sort of ongoing consistency.
You might think that with MTV rarely showing music videos, that half of the appeal of the show (seeing the two heckle the aforementioned music videos) would disappear. This was not the case, the two still make fun of music videos, but they've also added the slew of MTV reality shows to their riffing repertoire. These make for some of the funniest parts of the series as they riff on things like Jersey Shore and 16 and Pregnant.
This show is "stupid" humor done right. Forget Family Guy or Adult Swim (sans Venture Bros. of course). If you want a genuinely hilarious show that thrives on ludicrous premises and centers on morons without delving into Flanderization, this is a show that is definitely worth checking out.
