How's it going lurkers? I happened to find 2 Beavis And Butt-Head shorts from 1992. I had no idea until now, that Beavis And Butt-Head had any shorts.
During middle school, I was that "weird girl," who watched this controversial cartoon. It was taboo in the 1990's for any girl to watch Beavis And Butt-Head because the characters were stupid, perverted, politically incorrect, violent, disgusting, had low IQ's, etc.
After conducting some research as a woman in her early 30's, I recently discovered that Beavis And Butt-Head was actually an adult cartoon much like Æon Flux and a few others.
They were adult cartoons on MTV's Liquid Television Animation block. Said MTV animation block was literally a decade before the launching of Adult Swim.
In 1993, I remember Pat Robertson from The 700 Club and media watchdog groups demonizing Beavis And Butt-Head for their violent behaviors and dangerous stunts.
Supposedly, a negligent mother used the cartoon as a scapegoat for why her 5-year-old arsonist sat their mobile home on fire. The fire resulted in his 2-year-old sister's death.
It was terrible what happened to that toddler. All the while, their neighbors said the family did NOT own any cable TV. Therefore, the dead toddler's careless mother not only smeared MTV's Beavis And Butt-Head, but she also wanted to act like she and her precious arsonist were victims.
Anytime a kindergartener intentionally sat his own house and baby sister on fire, chances were highly great, that he was NOT going to be any asset to society.
Careless parents and media watchdog groups' tendencies to demonize MTV's adult cartoon led to 2 different TV disclaimers.
Beavis And Butt-Head Disclaimer #1
During Beavis And Butt-Head's 5th season, the writers of the cartoon mocked media watchdog groups by making episode 114, "Lightning Strikes."
Beavis And Butt-Head's "Lightning Strikes" illustrated exactly how media watchdog groups smear, condemn, and demonize entertainment, in order to have something newsworthy and/or "trendy."
These media watchdog groups and Christian zealots can smear, condemn, and demonize Beavis And Butt-Head all they want.
The creator/voice actor, Mike Judge helped influence both South Park's Trey Parker and Matt Stone. Beavis And Butt-Head helped pave the way for most adult animation that exists on local AND cable networks today.
During the glory days of MTV, which was when the network still predominantly aired music television, most MTV viewers like moi LOVED Beavis And Butt-Head.
The characters were 2 illiterate, socially incompetent, juvenile delinquents that usually sat on a couch watching TV, while criticizing music videos.
My family sometimes watched Beavis And Butt-Head and laughed at their low IQ'ed antics with me.
There was an episode, which showed Butt-Head throwing a garbage can and it knocked Beavis unconscious, in his back yard. My mom laughed so hard, she cried tears that night. It was that hilarious.
As I became older, I met some teenagers, who sometimes made Beavis and Butt-Head look like complete geniuses. This is something appalling to believe but it is the awful truth.
Anytime 2 stupid cartoons characters appear to have higher IQ's than real life people, we CANNOT help rolling our eyes and face palming, while simultaneously laughing at them. Even though I am a 32-year-old woman, I still enjoy Beavis And Butt-Head 2 decades later.
If a man my age or a little older than me dares to say, "I'm so over this show. That was from years ago," you have my permission to pimp slap him across the face. That guy is acting like an absolutely pompous, piece of shit.
Beavis and Butt-Head could also out twerk Miley Cyrus. Come to think about it, Miley was only shitting in her diapers, when this adult cartoon premiered on MTV in 1993.
BTW: Twerking was supposedly founded in 1982. It didn't become more popular, until the '90s and early 21st Century.
In the original Beavis And Butt-Head shorts from Liquid Television, there weren't any music videos. Music videos were only added to the cartoon, once it moved to MTV.
So, here are the 2 Beavis
And Butt-Head shorts, "Frog Baseball" and "Peace, Love and
Understanding" for Cartoon Sunday.
