    CrawlerChunky In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.
    Robert Joyner The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one
    Kaydan Christian A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.
    Darin One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.
    simo-epastas From the first view, this show looks dumb. But it actually isn't. Despite the stupidity of the primary characters, this show contains some very clever humor like all of Mike Judge's work does. For example, "King of the hill". Also, "Beavis and Butt-head" has some very entertaining and funny gags like the Great Cornholio. "I am the Great Cornholio, I need T.P. for my bunghole" -Beavis. MTV gave us a great show. Later, a movie was created. It was also great. The movie had a gag about a guy that sounds like Hank Hill and his misadventures.This show is great, but it was canceled too soon. It's worth 10 points out of 10.
    reddragonhero17 MTV is a network I never liked. Everything steering its targeted audience (teenagers) in the opposite direction they are supposed to go in life by just taking advantage of their whims. The bogus disclaimer at the beginning of each episode does very little to convince anyone with a genuine brain that this is "mature" entertainment. In fact, what gets shown is anything but funny and I can't help but ponder what teens are getting out of this."Oh this is cool! I'll try it out myself" No really, two dumb teens obsessing over TV, Nachos, "scoring" with chicks, and doing anything to ease their boredom with destructive actions, that is not my idea of humor. Adding insult to injury, the creator Mike Judge claims that he is criticizing society, but in reality he's just adding to the problems (fighting fire with fire). Sorry but if you are going to criticize at least show realistic consequences rather than glorify it. There were already far more funny and more intelligent comedies than this.
    Stalfos Conner Beavis and Butt-Head is a brilliant TV show, especially for a TV show that is more often than not about "toilet" humor. That is usually not a good indication. Nowadays most movies and TV shows are about sexual promiscuity, perversity, drugs, etc. Beavis and Butt-Head is a show about two teenagers who are obsessed with sex, heavy metal music, etc. On top of that, the title characters are basically highly unintelligent. So how could Beavis and Butt-Head possibly be any good? Surprisingly, the TV show is not just awesome, it's - even more surprisingly - highly clever as well. It's important to give this show a chance before you can notice that it's much more than meets the eye.The TV show accurately and cleverly portrays how the idiocy of the title characters does not fall short in this world. In the 1990s Beavis and Butt-Head in particular stood out in that regard. Ironically, in the 1990s a number of parents blamed Beavis and Butt-Head for the misbehavior of their children, totally failing to understand the point of the show, which is not for kids but shows what two kids do these days. It's like basing two teenage characters on two general modern teenagers and saying "this is how your kids are" to parents and a number of them respond by saying "no that's who my kids are imitating". The joke is on them but they are oblivious to it and that is the real power of Beavis and Butt-Head. You would almost want to be in their situation because of how the world has become. Being plain stupid is more than enough to "outsmart" people these days - as Beavis and Butt-Head accurately prove time after time. That makes it so easy to "identify" with Beavis and Butt-Head. Yet, at the same time, unlike movies and TV shows in general, Beavis and Butt-Head (the TV show) does not condone violence, drugs or anything like that. It's amazing how a "potty" humor show about two unintelligent teenagers is more intelligent and witty than most "serious" TV shows.The first few seasons of Beavis and Butt-Head are horribly drawn and quite simplistic. You can skip the first two seasons. From there on the show gets better with every season. Almost the half of every episode consists of Beavis and Butt-Head watching and commenting on music videos.On November 28, 1997, the last Beavis and Butt-Head episode of season 7 was aired. Beavis and Butt-Head was canceled. It was like MTV was canceled. By that time Beavis and Butt-Head was the only thing worthy to watch on MTV. Music videos in the 1990s began to be all about sex, pimping, drugs, prostitutes, gangsterism, etc. So at the time it was in my opinion a good idea of MTV to start focusing on non-musical content and that's where Beavis and Butt-Head perfectly fit in. It was almost like MTV was making fun of the people who liked the music videos of those days. Absolutely brilliant. When Beavis and Butt-Head was canceled, MTV began to die out. In the next decade MTV ("Music Television") became no longer "MTV" because it was no longer about music. Instead, reality shows like 16 and Pregnant (2009) began to dominate MTV. MTV as it once was was simply gone.It would take almost 14 years before Beavis and Butt-Head returned in 2011. The 2000s had passed without Beavis and Butt-Head. Music videos still exist but not as they once were. TV in general is as good as dead. Computers and the internet have largely replaced the "need" for TV. Sex, drugs, nudity, etc are now no longer rare on TV. So does Beavis and Butt-Head have a place on TV anymore? Well, not so much when it comes to music videos or sexual content in them. That's for sure. Season 8 nevertheless feels like Beavis and Butt-Head has never been away, even though the music videos have been replaced by the reality shows that are currently being aired on MTV. The title characters have become wittier and the quality of the show appears (so far) to be the same. The world has changed since Beavis and Butt-Head was canceled in the late 1990s. In today's world - with today's MTV, dying TV, internet, etc - Beavis and Butt-Head will most likely never become as popular as they once were. That is not say that Beavis and Butt-Head is or will not be just as good. No other adult-comedic cartoon show has come along in the 14 years of Beavis and Butt-Head's absence that has matched the quality and excellence of Beavis and Butt-Head. Not even South Park (1997).I would most definitely recommend Beavis and Butt-Head to anyone (who is an adult)! It may not be for everyone (due to the type of comedy of the show) but for everybody else it is a must-see TV show!
    Troy Goodwin That's right these boys are like The Three Stooges without their boss, Moe-to beat the crap out of them. These boys get into a lot of trouble, and gets hurt-like the stooges themselves. Beavis and Butthead works for Burger World; Their diet is mostly junk food with an appetite for nachos; And some of their nemesis includes Coach Buzzcut, Principal McVicker, and their own neighbor, Tom Anderson. It is perhaps one of Cable TV's greatest show ever... And it now gets better. So anyway, this happens to a great show that really knows about what's going on in the world of entertainment. And the boys usually lots of great reviews; Mostly on Videos that are shown on MTV, and its related shows.
