![]() Leonard "Bones" McCoy: Captain, there's a limit to what one man can do. Kirk: Bones, we've got an injured crew-man here and you've got to do something! You've got - to do - something! Beavis then calls him a chode smoker, and then they both laugh.Ĭaptain James T. Then a home-owners ad comes on, and Butt-Head tells Beavis to pay attention. Then the boys sit in-front of the TV again as Butt-Head talks about rump roast. Beavis then informs Butt-Head that he knows where a dead raccoon is and then proceed to retrieve it. The two then laugh with glee after giving Anderson his “Mouse Burger and French Flies”. He then offers to trim the restaurant's shrubs in which the two just stare confused. The two then give Anderson his food and tells them he will be in later that afternoon. Butt-Head checks the cash register to see how much it cost, but as a dead mouse and bugs aren't on the cash register, he says that Tom's food is free. Anderson his "order" that he just prepared. He puts on his glasses and he thinks that Beavis and Butt-Head spray-painted his dog last week, but Butt-Head says that there were "other kids". Anderson comes in and tells Beavis and Butt-Head that he orders his fries, pie, and coffee every Thursday afternoon before he goes to the foot doctor and every time he has to wait for 20 minutes. In the kitchen, instead of preparing a large fries, pie, and large coffee, Beavis fries the dead mouse and bugs from some fly-paper. Anderson gets angry because Butt-Head didn't get his order. Butt-Head tells him to pull up to the window and Tom doesn't understand what Butt-Head is saying. Tom Anderson stops by and orders a large fries, pie, and a large coffee. Beavis takes the mouse inside with the idea of fruyinf it and serving it for the next customer's order. Later that day, at Burger World, the two are taking out the trash when Butt-Head eats a half-eaten Chicken Sandwich and Beavis finds a dead mouse on the ground. Perhaps it would have been better to leave things be.The episode begins with Beavis And Butt-Head watching Star Trek on TV. Not even the world’s most nostalgia-deprived gen Xers can justify spending that to watch a 59-year-old man voice a pair of teenagers being mean about an ASMR video. But here they are, being slung out without fanfare on a streaming service no one asked for. They could have died at the top of the hill. The most-watched MTV show in its day, it inspired movies, spin-offs and imitators. Did escape rooms exist in the 90s? Did TikTok? When is this meant to be set?īeavis and Butt-Head was a phenomenon. Everything about Beavis and Butt-Head, from the voices to the animation style to the costumes, are firmly stuck in the 90s. They’re diverting, but their nature is weird and uncanny. These are also present and correct in the reboot, with the pair messing up an escape room and causing mayhem with a box of bees. There were also animated skits about them wandering through suburbia annoying people. Of course, the Mystery Science Theater segments were never the only parts of Beavis and Butt-Head. Music videos no longer have the currency they once did, so Beavis and Butt-Head no longer seem particularly interested in wasting their energy on them. If you were wondering, he likes it enough to start humping his couch. However, stripped of juvenile wisecracks, the commentary ends up being about how much Beavis enjoys the music of BTS. In episode two, the pair watch a BTS video. In fairness, the occasional music video does crop up, but it’s clear that their hearts aren’t really in it. And, as with the original, the mockery is so gleeful that you find yourself cheering them on a little. They lay into a woman who makes ASMR (autonomous sensory meridian response videos). And so this version of Beavis and Butt-Head comes studded with segments where the pair watch viral videos about, say, making your own prison tattoos, and breezily mock the accent of the idiot telling the internet how to do it. Three decades ago, those people joined bands. The people who most urgently need deflating are pompous and preening and utterly self-regarding. And, in fairness to Judge, this makes a lot of sense. Without the material provided to them by self-regarding pop stars, what could Beavis and Butt-Head possibly mock in 2022? The music industry has entered such a state of stasis that the biggest hit of the summer is a 37-year-old Kate Bush song that was shown in a Netflix programme about a girl running away from a monster.
