'Beavis and Butt-head' back to their old tricksIf you expected anything new or innovative about the resurrected "Beavis and Butt-head" on Thursday night, you would be sorely disappointed. One thing the dim-witted pair always did well was react to popular culture in their own way, and the premiere saw them attempting to take advantage of the "Twilight" craze, and poking fun at "Jersey Shore." True to form, their idea of trying to "score chicks" who were obsessed with "Twilight" was to pay a homeless man to bite them so they might turn into werewolves. Instead they ended up in the hospital (which meant they were attended to by female nurses, so to them the plan was a success).
The second half of the episode was about Butt-head razzing Beavis for tearing up due to a nearby onion while the pair watched "The Bachelor." That's about it. Aside from "Jersey Shore," they also commented on music videos from MGMT and Skrillex, contrary to rumors that they would only mock MTV reality shows. (Though I would wager a guess that some of MTV's audience would have never seen those videos otherwise.) I actually remember enjoying many of the supporting characters, so it was good to see Mr. Van Driessen, and Stewart (looks like we will see Tom Anderson as well). The best moments of the show are people reacting to Beavis and Butt-head. Unlike creator Mike Judge's "King of the Hill" and the short-lived "The Goode Family" (or even his feature films), there really isn't much deeper meaning or social commentary to "Beavis and Butt-head." Either it's your cup of tea or it isn't. Fans of the show – some of whom might even have kids the same age as the pair now – will be happy to see that not much has changed, though.

I have not laughed that much since B & B went off the air. B & B detractors do not understand that the whole show is a genius commentary on life.
The 2000's SUCKED – The 1990's were AWESOME. I like being creative and different, please bring back more 90's culture!!!
Go Beavis & Butthead!!! Bring back Daria next!!! Here there's a new Beetlejuice and Bill & Ted movies coming out too!!! Let's get back to what's good in the world!!! MTV you could be an icon again, Beavis & Butthead with the new Good Vibes show is surely a good start. First MTV programming I've watched in 10 years, and will be tuning in every Thursday night!
Still hilarious!
I am the great cornholio
I thoroughly love these guys! It's nice to enjoy a show with my kids and really laugh. They are stupid and crazy but we need something like this in these terrible depressing times In the US.

yes I said it!!!!
Never liked B&B. Thought it was the stupidest show to have ever been created. I wish that it would have been left in it's grave.
The fact you took the time to look at the article and comment on it probably means you are one of the many ignorant people who are die hard twilight or jersey shore fans.
Grandma JWOWWW, tell us the story of how you got syphillis again?
@ BioHzrd420- HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Almost fell out of my chair at work reading that!
Bevis and Butthead! only good show on TV other than Squidbillies.
bevis and butthead
The best thing about this show was making fun of the videos. The DVD's are pretty awful otherwise.

I'm trying to score with a chick on here name starfire.
They are my heros.
This show is a desperately needed commentary on the wasteland that is our popular culture.
SHUT DA EF UP!
I absolutely LOVE these guys!! I watched them back in the day and I was so glad that they were coming back. Hey Mike Judge we need another movie from Beavis & Butthead!! Whats the hold up?
B&B is a fun gem in the liberal wasteland that is MTV. Glad to see it back.
First!
