Beavis & Butthead Paramount + revival movie

[Andrew NDB]

I guess this is a thing?

[AquaParade]

Always a fan of these two. I didn't get on board with the last revival but I like that they may be aging them up and doing something slightly different.

[Coola Yagami]

That's one thing I never expected, actually aging them up. I wonder how they'll function as adults.

[Wildcat]

Not sure that was meant to imply they’re aging them. It could be but thought it was a joke because it’s been awhile since they were around.

It would be really interesting though.

Butthead barely has any hair left and Beavis is missing teeth and looking frail. It's obviously supposed to be them aged.

[Leo656]

I heard that it's just a visual gag and nothing more. People, as usual, are taking things a bit too literally.

Not sure how I feel about it. Huge fan from the Liquid Television days but the last revival was underwhelming. Part of me feels like this "Everything Is Offensive" generation needs Beavis & Butt-Head more than ever. But at the same time, that whole "We don't want to push boundaries TOO hard or we'll piss off the Twitter feebs" attitude is what tanked the last revival, and I suspect it's going to poison the well again even though it's not on MTV anymore. Comedy Central is a little bit looser, at least on the surface, but the South Park guys have been bitching for years about how Comedy Central keeps them on too tight of a leash, and lest we forget how they cancelled Drawn Together over a decade ago for being "too offensive" even though it was the funniest show of all time. So that network doesn't have a great track record, either.

I'm not even sure how a "comedy" network run by a bunch of Liberals even functions. Comedy by definition is heavily reliant on being shocking and/or offensive, and Liberals trade away their sense of humor in exchange for smug self-importance once they register to vote. So you've got a "comedy" station run by a bunch of "You can't say that!" people. It's a wonder anything gets done.

Anyways, we'll see. Mixed feelings, huge reservations.

[Wildcat]

Butthead barely has any hair left and Beavis is missing teeth and looking frail. It's obviously supposed to be them aged.I know I’m saying I’m not sure it was intended to say that’s the direction they’re going.

It definitely could be but when I first saw it I thought it was just a joke.

[Leo656]

I've seen a few articles about it which say that it's just a joke and that they won't look like that in the show. Just a marketing gag, "Boy it's been a while since we've seen those guys, huh?"

I guess they *could* do it that way and have them be old in the show, but it'd be pretty dumb. Anyways, I haven't seen anyone say that's from the actual show outside of people on social media jumping to that conclusion. Any "actual news" about it says the opposite.

[Turo602]

It was obviously a joke. Mike Judge even said they have to get back in shape for the show, implying this is what they look like off TV.

[Andrew NDB]

Oh. Well come to think of it... probably. I didn't think that deeply into things. I guess automatically I was thinking a "they're much older now" angle would be way more interesting than a Simpsons-style "let's pretend time doesn't pass in this universe except the world around it." For this go of it. Because they already tried the latter and it didn't do much.

[ZariusTwo]

The movie has a title: Beavis and Butt-Head Do The Universe

[Andrew NDB]

So they go into a black hole in 1998 and emerge now, in 2022? What about their revival season back in 2011? Is that out the window now, or was that not set in 2011?

[Wildcat]

Disappointed if the 2011 episodes are ignored but it’s BS the new ones will NOT be on CC now. I should have freaking known. Maybe they will in reruns much later on. That’s how CN and WB does it.

Ya I’m mad because streaming services are ruining tv.

The only way I’d get Paramount+ is for Sonic or Ghostbusters (I know they don’t own GB it’s an example). The Knuckles show won’t happen for awhile so I guess it’ll be a long time before I see this.

[The Great Saiyaman]

That's one thing I never expected, actually aging them up. I wonder how they'll function as adults.

That's the most surprising thing here, as Mike Judge himself said that he couldn't imagine B&B as being adults, their characters work the best as either young teens or elderly men. He simply couldn't envision them in their thirties.

If you go to 1:36 it looks like those designs for Old Man Beavis and Butthead weren't for nothing.

[Coola Yagami]

Idk why but the moment I saw the rocketship I was already predicting that somehow they'd do some wacky sci-fi stuff to make them come back in modern day lol

[The Deadman]

Ill be watching

[Leo656]

That made me laugh more than I thought it would. Definitely be checking this out, somehow.

"I think the floor's not working." :lol:

Yeah that had me dying too.

I really want to see if I can get some time off from work to watch this.

[Wildcat]

I only got the free week trial of Paramount + to see Sonic 2...so of course they’d announce this right after (still want the Blu Ray but didn’t wanna wait that long). Ya this looks awesome but like I originally said won’t be able to see it.

Paramount + is nothing special either. I watched some other things so I definitely got the most out of the trial but unless you’re really into Nick shows it’s not worth it at all. Even then there’s things that are strangely missing.

Complete 4kids TMNT...except Turtles Forever :roll:

No TMNT 2012...yet I guess.

Old Nick shows but not all...rights issues? Maybe not popular enough.

I didn’t expect the entire library but still.

[Andrew NDB]

I could never give Paramount+ a dime in good conscience.

[superstaff]

No TMNT 2012...yet I guess.

The Totally Turtles channel on PlutoTV plays 2012 TMNT most of the time.

Paramount's got some work to do to make it an enticing service. Are Angry Beavers or Rocket Power on there?

Hellz yea!!

[Icebot]

Yes, they both are.

[Coola Yagami]

Not getting yet another streaming service, so y'all tell me if it's any good. To be honest though, B&B has always been funny so I don't see how they can mess this up.

[Wildcat]

I was thinking other shows like Pete and Pete, Alex Mack, My Brother and Me, Figure it Out, Get the Picture, What Would U Do?, Wild and Crazy Kids should be on there.

They used to show all the game shows on Nick GaS in the 2000s. Can’t think those have rights issues.

They have Rise. I wanted to finish it too (I thought it was pretty cool) but didn’t know where I left off. I gave up with the awful tv schedule at the time.

I’ll check out Pluto for 2012. I never saw the last few time travel episodes.

[ZariusTwo]

Loving the film so far.

I like their choice of villain.

"Do people still care about terrorism?":lol:

And Beavis having his most meaningful relationship ever with an 'Alexa'-esque smartphone

Beavis and Butt-Head reacting to accusations of White Privilege is awesome...:lol:

And a happy ending of sorts for one Beavis variant in the multiverse...doubly good for the fact Serena apparently didn't stick around afterwards and Smart Butt-Head got a medal for being able to sneak in and watch....

[Storm Eagle]

The new movie was nice, but the first one is better. I hope that the new one comes out on home video though.

[Hamato Yoshi]

"I poop too much , heh heh heh" :lol:

[Andrew NDB]

Saw it. Yeah, probably best to manage expectations, but I was giggling through most of it.

It is a bit "tame" vs. what they could have done. I thought they were going to get a lot of mileage out of Beavis and Butthead commenting on how different this generation is and trolling millennials but beyond messing with a cell phone and one scene in a college, they don't do too much there.

[Coola Yagami]

So did the movie end with them staying modern day or did they somehow got blasted back to the 90's?

[Andrew NDB]

The plot was that they were supposed to go into a portal created by alternate dimension versions of themselves that would make it so that they would return to 1998 and never board the space shuttle in the first place, and then they would "be" their then 2022 selves, older and nasty. But they didn't do that, no. They sent some other guy into the portal and remained in 2022.

Which is clearly the origin story of "how we got here" when the new B&B TV show starts up.

That's pretty clever. I'm thinking they didn't go too hard on 2022 millennial commentary cause they have to save that for the actual new show.

So is Van Driesen still a teacher after 25 years, does this take place before the movie or is the movie just being ignored entirely?

[Coola Yagami]

I'm confused. Nothing so far looks like it takes place in modern day. I don't think I saw people with phones or whatever. Also Van Driessen should be hella old by now.

[Andrew NDB]

There's a modern Apple laptop in front of Van Driessen. Maybe Van Driessen has some story of how he also went through time, or the gag is that he's his son and looks exactly like him. I didn't see Principal McVickers or Daria or anything.

Do we know if these will just purely be full-on 30 minute story episodes? No more music video commentary?

I was thinking about that. It's very noticeable he's the only one that keeps showing up in the trailer.

[Andrew NDB]

So 8 episodes are out already. Is anybody watching?

[AquaParade]

I watched the first one, which they put up for free on Youtube. I enjoyed it. Moreso than the recent movie, actually.

I've always loved Beavis & Butthead Do America, but found the show itself to be sort of weak, in comparison to King of the Hill. Surprisingly, this actually seemed like a step-up from the old version of the show, imo.

I'd watch more, but I'm not interested in another streaming service right now.

[Andrew NDB]

If there was a way to sign up for Paramount+ and make it that my money only goes to certain shows/teams, then I would. But I in no way could condone giving them even $0.01 if it means it somehow benefits Kurtzman. Sorry, Mike Judge.

So how do they explain how that teacher is in it but unaged?

The show basically treat Do the Universe as non-canon. Van Driesen and Tom Anderson both remain the same age, Beavis and Butt-head are more familiar with the commonalities of the 2020's, the school does not make a big deal about them having been missing for 20+ years and they still seem to live with Beavis' mom despite the movie explaining that she moved away a long time ago.

Maybe some other episodes later on will explain any of this but out the first six episodes, it's pretty clear that they treat the timeline as if it's floating, like in the Simpsons.

Aw, that's lame. And I was looking to their continued "fish out of water" perspective on many new things in the 2020s. In fact, I've been operating on the assumption that was like 90% of the pitch for the new show.

Though on the one hand... the 2011 season's state of canon would seem to be fine, in this case.

[Andrew NDB]

I saw all of the new ones. These are great! Some parts, hysterical. This is a very smooth "update."

"huhuhuhuh... I know what my college decision is. huhuhuh... No!"

[Andrew NDB]

The latest episode, 10, definitely cements that "Do the Universe" happened. The alternate/alien Beavis and Butthead from that movie show up and show us a whole episode with the alternate middle-aged Beavis and Butthead in 2022 that never skipped forward 20 years.

[Andrew NDB]

You guys are missing out if you haven't been watching these. This latest one with Old Beavis and Butthead serving on a jury is priceless.

[TheBlueTurtle1]

I been enjoying them, funny and fun to watch. Done a great job.

[Andrew NDB]

The season finale just hit. "Spiritual Journey." Kind of a miss, but just about every episode this season has had me howling at least a little.

[Andrew NDB]

It's back! In just a couple weeks. Yay!

Is it a whole (huh-huh, hole) new season or back from a mid-season break?

Whole new season.

Mike Judge and Trey Parker have often discussed at length a crossover with South Park where Beavis and Butt Head babysit Cartman


https://x.com/IGN/status/1948573714758729875

[Wildcat]

That’d be awesome. Hope they eventually do a crossover.

Funny that was their idea...I have a talking Cartman plush I got in the 2000s and I happen to have 2 Beavis and Butthead pins I didn’t know how to display so I put them on his shirt. I thought he’d be a fan of the show...but maybe not if they had to babysit him. :lol:

I would post a picture but he’s put away right now and kind hard to get to. He’s not in a box or anything but there’s stuff in the way. Maybe I’ll get it out.

[neatoman]

I kinda just imagine that Cartman would walk all over them.

Nope. Just moved to Comedy Central and not Paramount+.

[Andrew NDB]

So season 3 premiered yesterday on Comedy Central but... I can't find it anywhere "online." Can anyone advise?
