![]() ![]() It didn’t seem like something I’d even want to see. I couldn’t really imagine them in their 20s. ![]() I could always see them being middle-aged, over the hill, or the age that they are normally, 15 or 14, but not in between. We did have some flash-forwards where they were old. When you first conceived them back in the ’90s, did you imagine them ever getting old onscreen? There were a lot of ideas that we never did because they didn’t have a car and they were 15 or however old back in the day. In the new series there are going to be episodes where they’re middle-aged. When it started to click for me was with the movie, the idea of actually having them travel through time from the ’90s and just be these characters from the ’90s interacting with the modern world. It’s a very different world than when I did the long run of the show in the ’90s. And the segments where they used to critique music videos now feature TikTok trends, ASMR and appreciation for K-pop superstars BTS.ĭid you have any concerns about how Beavis and Butt-Head were going to fit in today’s world? (His transformation into an affable guy upsets Beavis.) Another follows the duo as they’re diagnosed with depression - because they believe girls prefer downhearted guys. ![]() One upcoming episode shows Butt-Head under the effects of medication for his aggressive behavior. It also touches upon subjects, Judge suggests, that the original might not have. Bringing the pair’s hilariously reprehensible antics fully into the 21st century, this “Beavis and Butt-Head” confronts the sex-obsessed teenage metalheads with escape rooms and farmers markets, both concepts that grew in mainstream popularity since the last time the pair was onscreen. Earlier this summer a new full-length film, “Beavis and Butt-Head Do the Universe,” premiered on the platform, joined Thursday by the latest iteration of the TV series. More than a decade after a short revival in 2011, the beloved dimwits, created and voiced by multifaceted storyteller Mike Judge, are back - this time on streaming service Paramount+. At the height of their fame, these witless pop culture icons even presented at the 1997 Academy Awards, just months after their first big-screen outing, “Beavis and Butt-Head Do America,” opened in theaters. Hellbent on “scoring,” the lewd animated duo Beavis and Butt-Head have equally amused and disgusted audiences since the early 1990s, when we first heard their nasal laughs and immature jokes on MTV. ![]()
