I am totally with you, **RTA**!

Who can forget “Cornholio and the Twirling Fartknockers”?? That was a comment Butthead made during a PJ Harvey video, or was it Kate Bush? And I would die laughing when Beavis would say “Bee-yatch” like Flava Flav.

Ahh, memories!!

Ummm…how about:  
“plenty of screwball comedy”

and

“it was unafraid of controversial stujects”

and

“it had some great satire”

and

“it explored the whole teenage nihilisim thing”

and

“it had spot-on riffs of pop culture”

That would be Stewart Dooley. He also looks a bit like Butthead.

Plus, it was just, in the end, toilet humor. THAT’S why it was so good. It was stupid. It was idiotic. It was crass, it was crude.

And that’s why it was funny.

Hehehehe…I said “toilet”…ehehehehehe

No, it was:

I had a friend who thought the show was funny. Then he got a job teaching and no longer thought the show was funny because he found out kids were _really like that!_

I saw the movie on the Spanish HBO one time, and it was about the funniest thing I’ve ever seen. The guy doing the spanish Beavis nailed the voice perfectly. The Butthead voice is higher pitched and pretty funny. Anderson sounds nothing like Hank Hill though.

You haven’t experienced a Cornholio attack until you hear in in spanish.

B&B started out great, with the duo managing to get themsselves trashed all the time. Bad tings just happened to these idiots, usually because of something they did. It was the 1st seasons of B&B, and it was good but not enough eps were made.

2nd season spoiled it for me. Judge, or somebody, lost the idea of what made B&B so much fun to watch. What happened in the 2nd season was that the duo never recived injury, everyone else around them did as a result of B&B’s actions. This is not what folks wanted to see, as B&B were not supposed to be sympathetic characters.

They got it together in later seasons, with B&B gettting suitably beat-up and trashed. But it had lost something for me.

Actually, later on they weren’t doing really “bad” things, so much as just being stupid.

Like the time Beavis found a dead squirrel in the dumpster, and they tried to sell it to a fur coat dealer or something.

Or like I mentioned before-buying non-Alcoholic beer, sitting in the parking lot of Maxi-Mart and thinking they were drunk.

Or the time they cut their hair and glued it to their faces so they could have beards.

“Damn we’re smooth.”

That’s what made it funny to me, not that they were bad kids, just incredibly dumb.

“Wanna stroke our… beards?”

I loved Beavis & Butt-head, especially before MTV.

I used to watch the Spike and Mike’s Festival of Animation  
and the Sick and Twisted Show. It was awesome, and I miss it.

Some of the characters that ended up on the MTV show was on the Spike & Mike shows.

Cue the GIN AND GUICE Video:

Beavis : “MAY I KICK A LIL SUMPTIN FO THA G’s – Yeah Yeah. G. I’m a G. Me and Snoop used to kick it at the Compton swap meets. Yep…I’m a straight G”

Butthead: “Yeah, G for Gonad”

Back before kids, and life, I used to love B&B.

My and my good friend were going to get ourselves a bottle of Dom, and some expensive ass caviar, and sit around in our underwear one weekend and watch the show till our brains leaked out our ears.

Never happened, but I thought it would be great fun.

“Butthead… I’m… I’m dying. So cold.”  
“Shut up, fartknocker!”  
_whack whack whack_  
“AAAAAAAAAACCCKK!!”

Man, I miss that show.

Oh crap, I had a whole post and the hamsters ate it!

Oh well. I have a wav file of Yoda doing Cornholio-I asked this one site that did custom wavs to make it for me. It was based on a parody I wrote of Beavis and Butthead as Jedi Knights.  
I loved the episode-Pregnant Pause. Beavis is constipated, only he thinks he’s pregnant.

“Hehehe…you’re supposed to pee on it…that chick says it changes color if you’re pregnant…aw…better not change color-it turned yellow! NOOOOO!!!”

On the way home tonight, I drove past a college, and saw plentty of nubile young ladies, out and about. I couldn’t help but mutter under my breath, "Hey, baby… uh huh huh huh huh…Stroke my beard? Damn, I’m smooth! huh huh huh huh… "

Of course, just about anyone can do a passable impression of either Beavis or Butt-head …
