1079 Beavis and Butt-Head



First  viewed : Uncertain

This  MTV  staple  came  to  late  night  Channel  4  at  the  beginning  of  1994. Beavis  and  Butt-Head  were  two  cartoon  slackers  who  made  smart  alec  comments  about  videos, the  successors  to  the  previous  decade's  Max  Headroom  in  a  way. I  never  found  them  funny  but  sometimes  tuned  in  when  channel-hopping.

  1. The age I was (13), this held a certain appeal - the characters more than the music, as I was still not at the point where music was doing much for me, 1994 being the start of the nightmare retro-stylings of Britpop.

    I seriously doubt it holds up very well 20 odd years on, but creator Mike Judge has gone on to do plenty of fine work, and some years later I very much enjoyed the spin-off show "Daria".
