Please explain me the appeal of this show. It's not funny, it's not witty, it's not even surreal enough to be interesting. I'm sincerely curious

Please explain me the appeal of this show.
You had to be there man
Yeah you kinda had to be 13 in 1993 or whatever to get this.
i was like 8 when it was on but was still watching it because i was a cool kid who was allowed to watch MTV unlike most gays in my class who never knew what i was talking about whenever i'd reference Beavis & Butthead or The State in the 2nd grade
you had shitty parents, gay
I never really got into it until a few years ago when I was in my mid-30s.
this
It rang out the same bell as the whole grunge thing.
He's talking about the new one
that period in the early-mid 90s i rememebr when every edgelord boy (i was one of them of course) acted like Beavis & Butthead in school like a teacher would some a word that sounded like it would be something dirty and we'd be like "huh huh, you said"
i never grew out of this phase from childhood as still act like that as an adult lol
film was good
?t=300
yet another case of S&E showing they aren't stuck-up at all
The DUDE WEED LMAO skaters and punk rockers loved it. It is a brainlet thing.
Beavis and Butthead aren't stoners.
They have FXS
Sorry but only people with IQs in the red or green can enjoy Beavis and Butthead
its funny
I mean, i get It, it's an MTV show created as an excuse to broadcast "heavy" rock videos but still...
They actually adapted the show to include them watching music videos because it was on MTV after all. Funny how they years later didn't even have music videos anymore in allot of shows.
good. that was the worst part
It was to avoid copyright from musicians thinking their music is still worth anything. That's why all they would watch is shitty MTV shows of the era. Now in the Paramount series they watch YouTube videos cus you know those leeches signed off right away to be Beavis and Butthead
except it is funny and witty. You just are too stupid to get the jokes.
uhhhh
shut up, OP
ahuhuhuhuh
Bam and Steve-O
I kind of agree. Out of all of Judge's works I think Beavis & Butthead is the one most dependent on the culture surrounding it at the time. Much of his humor depends on relatability as a factor; you know, finding in his characters the sort of people you have to deal with in real life. The Beavis and Butthead archetypes just aren't really around anymore, nor are many of the minor characters in their school, etc. On top of this, the idea of lampooning videos in real time is no longer even remotely novel. You have to remember that, before guys like James Rolfe and Doug Walker, there was no outlet for this sort of content outside of what, MST3K? And they pretty much only did stuff that was already known to be bad.
I liked the new movie well enough, but watching the series just made me realize that people don't interact with the world in the same way anymore. It really was a better time.
>they pretty much only did stuff that was already known to be bad
Not true. If it had kick-ass guitars, fire, explosions, hot chicks, etc. they'd sincerely enjoy it. Beavis and Butt-Head only mocked music that sucked.
I saw that stuff in the early 2000s when I was 15-16 and I'm German, what the frick is there not to get? I'm no expert on American culture but most of the stuff gets around the world anyway at some point.
Are zoomers really that braindead?
Dumbass teenagers calling everything they don't like moronic is a pretty universal experience in the developed world. It's just Mike Judge was smart enough to see the comedy potential in it and OP was dumb enough to get filtered.
Not anymore now that they've declared 'moronic' a slur for some reason.
>dumb guys stopped existing in the early 90s
They're two timeless stock characters, the exact mechanisms of their stupidty are a lot less relevant than the fact that they can just blunder into any situation and find a way to frick it up
>two timeless stock characters
Stupidity is now a virtue so it wouldn't work in the year current 1990+43
The zoomer is focused entirely on cosmetics. You'd have to make Beavis black (or preferably both) and have them dress like they enjoy mumble rap for Zoomies to understand
>dumb guys stopped existing in the early 90s
Awful reading of the post. If you seriously think the "dumb" of the 90's/00's is anything like the "dumb" of contemporary society, you've been living under a rock. People are 20 IQ points lower now and it's celebrated rather than mocked.
I think it's a show specifically intended for 1990s americans
Midwit filter. Only smart people and stupid people appreciate it.
>beavis and butthead is 2 deep 4 me
its a sunny day, why not wear a sunny outfit?
It appealed to the dumb teenager in me.
Dammit Pantera this beer is warm!
Lightning in a bottle. It was the right thing at the right time for the early '90s. It wasn't even the best animation on MTV when it came out. More than half of the cartoons on Liquid Television mogged the hell out of it. Like anon said, you just had to be there. It struck a chord.
Was B&B one of those rare example when the spin off (Daria) was more relevant than the original show?
Most people don't know about Daria.
Here in Europe every liberal/indie/leftist girl between 27 and 35 yo has at least one Daria profile picture in her social accounts
Langst geen kanten waar, mongool
(NTA BTW)
>t. Zoomoid
I'm Op and im probably older than everyone on this tread (40yo). I was a teenager in the right time but I still don't get this show.
It'd not exactly sophisticated humor, it's just about two dipshits bumping up against the world as they draw exactly the wrong conclusions about it (plot) or two noble dunces who, even in the depths of their stupidity, know stuff sucks (the video segments)
It’s a satire of gen-x latch key kids raised on TV with no parental figures and teachers who don’t understand them
When they first aired single mothers were rarer see Dan Quayle shitting on Murphy brown it was a whole different time
I was 15 back in 1992 so probably the same age as B&B, everyone loved this show. The recent 2022 new stuff is surprisingly funny but I wish they'd stick with older B&B
I'm 41 and it worked as a piss take on pop culture at the time. The new episodes don't work at all.
>a piss take on pop culture at the time. The new episodes don't work
How can you ridicule the already ridiculous
by making poo and pee jokes.
Bro you probably watched gay shit like Disney Channel if you don't get B&B
The appeal is that you had to be there zoomie.
It was hyperexaggerated version of a typical teenager watching mtv at the time and it was funny because people knew how to laugh at themselves.
Other examples of shows appreciable only in their original airing years?
Beavis and butthead was basically a ironic take on Clinton's USA
Some of the best times of my life was sitting on a couch with my friend saying bad things about what is on the television
>this isn't written as well as the office, I don't understand it please internet help
You're a wuss
Stupid ameritards defending a stupid show intended for idiotic teenagers: the thread
>fun is heckin NOT allowed in le EU
I'm European. I love Beavis and Butthead and all American culture. Leave America alone.
If you don't get it, you just don't get it.
I think Beavis and Butt-Head is one of the funniest shows of all time but I completely understand.
unironically the type of show where pic rel is accurate. it's a satire on american culture told through the lens of moronic characters. if you're not stupid enough to enjoy it at a surface level, or not smart enough to enjoy the subtext and the deeper humour, that's your problem.
Don't agree with the message but I've keked at the pic
I agree with the message but I did not kek at the pic.
Reddit meme
>deeper humour
there is no deeper humor, you're just deluding yourself into liking something that's popular here because you're desperate to fit in
You talk like a moronic redditor. Dumbass
the people who dont get beavis and butthead are usually females but males have been so feminized since the 1990s that millennial and zoomer men qualify as females now.
I never seen the show
It wasn't made for zoomers, you had to be there.
Uuuh, can you like shut up?
The masses love vulgar brainlet low brow garbage. If it looks low effort, even better, because it appeals to the "yea bro i was soooo wasted i didnt even care about going to work the other day haha", or "bro i didnt even study foir the the test haha who cares doe haha".
It's a race to the bottom of "who cares less".
This gave me a good laugh because it’s relatable. Bros would always poke fun of each other for liking gay shit back in the day.
It’s a timecapsule tv show featuring a duo of absolute idiots put in satirical situations of everyday life with a deeper, subtle layer of comedy that coexists with the outspoken moronic shit that happens within the story. You got filtred boy.
I can absolutely get why one wouldn't find this funny, but it's also a rather well-written commentary on hypocrisy, generational differences, sexism, and a lesson on what happens when you let the media raise your children.
they make humorless redditors seethe because there isn't any le deep meaning in the show to analyze. Just two horny morons (although still smarter than Cinemaphile) doing teenager shit in the 90s
Dumb ass.
>t.
It was edgy for its time.
I AM CORNOLIO
I'll explain, OP. The show is completely irreverent toward almost everything. They don't care about school, work, parents, morality, bleeding heart hippies, conservative hardasses, anything... they just want to get laid and break shit. There's no social or political message other than that boring people who want you to care about their boring ideas suck. It's a frick you to everyone who wants to make you care about their boring crap. Yet the two protagonists are not complete, irredeemable buttholes. When they're cruel it's more because they're too stupid not to be cruel than out of any maliciousness, so they don't come off as utterly disgusting. It's free-spiritedness in nearly pure form.
I don't think people get what a white trash shithole they lived in.
there used to be small towns like highland fricking EVERYWHERE, just these god damn toilet bowls filled with wiggers and truckers.
Without that allegory to small town america, it loses its bite.
What is funny about B&B is more just the straight characters around them, and how they don't recognize that B&B are completely moronic, and treat them like they are anything but complete wastes of space. They always give them the benefit of the doubt and it always comes back to bite them in their ass.
Its like leaving your kid with a dog who has rabies, trusting beavis and butthead to do anything but jerk off and break stuff is really on you.
I'll admit that as a kid I found the music video parts mostly a chore to be endured before they went back to the show.
as a kid yes but when you get older and into rock and metal it was based
one of my favorite episodes is when they knock over the modern art installation, destroying it, and then right after the teacher comes over and says "see this? everything was deliberately placed, you can tell how much work the artist put into this, everything is exactly where it needs to be"
TV was different back then. Not everyone had cable.
Liberal was a nightly news anchor, TGIF, your school teacher.
Married with Children was about as subversive as it got.
Passing around VHS tapes was something perverts did.
You heard about shows by people laughing about it, and didn't know what was going on.
You would flipped through the channels to discover shows. The local paper would send you a TV guide on Sunday, but it didn't list MTV.
Changing the channels would be super noisy. You would see static, and a big "CHAAAAAHEEESH".
Suddenly this would be on, and it was like finding an Easter Egg.
If they ever make a live action Beavis and Butthead, Benedict Cumberbatch has to play Butthead. The resemblance is uncanny.
good idea, goy. But we're going to add a few changes to the show in order to make it appropriate for modern audiences
only homosexuals who didnt go outside dont get it. I understand not liking idiot toilet humor, but not understanding the appeal is symptom of a gay sheltered life
stop shitting on redditors
