But that would make them computer literate, unless they got someone to set it up for them. They could have a 5-hour episode of them just trying to set up a computer.

Look at comments on the internet, it's clear beavis and butthead types figured out the Internet years ago.

Re: Beavis And Butt-Head to return to MTV
A new article that discusses issues with licensing content...
http://www.billboard.com/#/news/beav...05299402.story
Beavis and Butt-Head Return to MTV -- with Licensed Videos
When Beavis and Butt-head return to the couch and watch television beginning Oct. 27 on MTV, there will be far fewer music videos for the boys to critique. They will be commenting on the network's current fare -- "Jersey Shore," "16 and Pregnant," Teen Mom" -- and pop culture phenomena such as vampire movies and shows, and getting in shots at musical acts on a less frequent basis.
Creator Mike Judge tells Billboard.com that's driven by the desire to go through proper channels on these new editions of the show coming 15 years since we last saw the boys in the film "Beavis and Butt-Head Do America."
"It's licensing," Judge says, noting that the premiere was pushed back six months primarily because of two issues -- final animated sequences and approval to use music videos. Deadmau5, MGMT, Yolanda Be Cool and T-Baby's off-key "It's So Cold in the D" have been licensed as have UFC fight scenes and some movie clips.
"We're working on Lady Gaga," Judge said at a Television Critics Association panel for MTV shows. B&B will take a shot at becoming Siskel and Ebert, vampires, and tech support workers, and will re-enact Morgan Spurlock's "Super Size Me" diet in the new edition of the series.
Licensing of the show's full content became an issue a decade ago when attempts were made to release the cartoons on DVD and producers had only secured broadcast rights. When Sony issued its first collection of episodes in 2005, the many of the videos were deleted and episodes had to be edited, frustrating fans of the series. The second and third volumes were more in line with the way the shows were broadcast.
"Beavis and Butt-Head" ran on MTV from 1993 to 1997 and was criticized and revered for its violent content and the idiotic behavior of the lead characters. In returning this year, the show will be set up as it was initially with mostly two-part shows and the occasional full half-hour. The boys will still be wearing their AC/DC and Metallica T-shirts. And nebbishy Stewart will still be donning a Winger T-shirt.
"I thought (Kip Winger) had a problem with the show, but it turns out he was okay with it," Judge tells Billboard.com. "We tried other bands (logos) but nothing worked as well (as the originals)."

I'll tell you this: I'll be totally in the dark to their comments and jokes if they keep it contemporary (which I guess they will be), because I have not kept up with modern music since 2002.

I don't think that will hurt you. They watched plenty of older videos that were probably unknown to many fans in the 90s, as well as videos by obscure acts.

I actually prefer the antics of B&B in the cartoon over their commentaries. There is some funny stuff in the previous videos and commentaries but their storylines are what I enjoy the most. Come to Butthead! I have been to the top of the mountain, and it is good.

I will be lost if they are rippiing on MTV stuff. I have not watched anything on MTV since B&BH and Celebrity Death Match were last on it.

I don't think I had seen half the videos they were ripping back then anyway. In some ways it works better because you identify with the perspective of someone seeing it for the first time and commenting on it.

Exactly. I've never seen 80% of the of the shows The Soup makes fun of, but I laugh my ass off every week.

Re: Beavis And Butt-Head to return to MTV
Hey Bungholes . . . don't forget new episodes begin this Thursday at 10:00 PM EST.
Is MTV promoting their return pretty heavily? I'll admit, I typically don't watch much, but I noticed the lead-in is a Jersey Shore reunion episode. I'd guess based on its popularity, that show gets pretty decent ratings (assuming its not a re-run).

Should we just keep this thread going or does someone want to start a season discussion thread like we do for most MTV shows?

So it's not only being promoted, but being used to launch another show as well.

Re: Beavis And Butt-Head to return to MTV
The premiere episode is going to have B&B making fun of The Shaker (where the woman looks like she's masturbating a man) - isn't that joke a little old now? Besides, South Park already did it!
