Beavis and Butthead to Take on YouTube, Jersey Shore

[rancher of monsters]

Update the shirts, change the lingo a little and I think this might work. I'm only eighteen and I love all the old Beavis and Butthead episodes. Being more knowledgeable about the material this time would be great.

Sounds like I'll be better off watching The Soup, since it already does this job superbly. I can't imagine MTV doing it better. Will give it a chance tho

See, I was more a Daria fan then a Beavis and Butthead one. Now if they brought back Daria to comment on modern-day high school, that would be excellent.

 

[blarghblarghhhhh]

Moreover, many fans have moved on in their life. I'm not saying they won't watch it, but many of them have established a career, gotten married, started a family, etc. I just don't know if these two boneheads are going to strike the same receptive cord with a more mature audience (and I doubt today's teens/college students are going to hop onto the bandwagon quite as eagerly).

I have to strongly disagree with you on both parts of this. If this site has taught me anything it is that nostalgia rules over every other facet of thought. People who watched it before will watch it again if only because they used to watch it when they were kids.

On the second point, teenagers today will love this show. Most teenagers watch at-least one animated comedy (south park, family guy, futurama, exc) I can see no reason why they wouldn't watch this.

Regarding the whole nostalgia thing, I never even watched Beavis and Butthead as a kid. I picked up the DVD sets 2 or 3 years ago and loved every second of them.

This show seriously can't come back soon enough.

No.

Please, no.

As a fellow Daria fan, I think it would be a horrible idea to try to resurrect the series.

Spoiler: Careful, ending spoilers

She graduates at the end of the show, heading off to Boston for university. So either they create some sort of parallel universe which will probably come out as lame in which she's still in high school, or they find some half-assed excuse to bring her back to Lawndale which won't make sense and the only character that stayed in Lawndale was, surprise surprise, Kevin. And as moronic as Kevin was, the show wouldn't be the same without Jane

As for B&B: couldn't care lees honestly, never liked them. I'm just thankful they put Daria in it so later on she'd get her own show.

They could go the obvious route and mock the shit out of university and college life. There's a lot of material there, since university has basically become High School 2.0.

This sounds like it has potential. I re-watched all the episodes just a couple years ago and still really enjoyed many of them. IMO, it's one of those shows where each episode is hit or miss. The good ones can be really great, but the bad ones can be pretty lame.

I think it'd be awesome if Beavis' fascination with fire would return.

 

[CrazyCapnMorgan]

Oh god, I just had a vision where Beavis and Butthead watch Mythbusters. Now THAT would kick start Beavis' fire obsession. That, and they'd totally obsess over banging Kari.

Christ, Duke Nukem's returning, B&B are returning...this is too damn good.

And for those of who would like a visual aid for that MMO thing...

Speaking of THC...

 

[Agiel7]

Yeah, kids these days like South Park, they like Family Guy...

Let's be honest, none of these shows are as good as Beavis and Butthead, or Archer, or Aqua Teen Hunger Force.

 

[frans909]

I don't know, I get the feeling this won't be as successful. These characters are as much a product of the 90's as they helped shape the decade themselves. Assuming the picture is from the new show, it looks like they really haven't done much to change them (they're still wearing AC/DC and Metallica shirts, for crying out loud!)

So? Metallica and AC/DC haven't changed either, if you didn't notice. Well, maybe Metallica made the crappiest album in their entire career. It will be fun to see them comment on that lame single they made. It will be fun to see them comment on like, TOKYO HOTEL anyone? Or what do you think they'll say about Justin Bieber?

I've gotten married and divorced since then, bought a house, switched jobs 3 times, but I can't wait to see them back.

All those shows are different how are you comparing them with one another?

 

[Souplex]

Wait... Can it be...
The 90's are making a comeback! The greatest decade ever shall return!

 

[neoontime]

Come on you guys, that show is so stupid!
[sup]Though I'll just maybe see a few of the episodes just to prove to myself that it's really stupid you know. [sub]Not that I might actually enjoy it or anything.[/sub][/sup]
