Beavis & Butthead Paramount + revival movie
 

I guess this is a thing?

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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?

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.

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.

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

Ill be watching

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.

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.

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

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!!

Yes, they both are.

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.

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.

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:

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

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

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.

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

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?

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.

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.
