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.
