If you hear nasally snickering from your TV sets on March 8 � or even from
your fellow TV fans � it might be because Beavis and Butt-Head is turning 30
years old that day. And in some episodes of the Paramount+ revival, the
titular duo really look their age!

Beavis and Butt-head premiered on MTV on March 8, 1993, and just five months
later, Rolling Stone was calling the characters �the voice of a generation,�
adding that the �two thunderously stupid and excruciatingly ugly pubescent
males� had �become the most acute commentators on TV.�

Of course, the teens� puerile humor and mischief-making won them just as many
critics as fans. And amid controversy over the show�s storylines, MTV added a
disclaimer to the start of every episode: �Beavis and Butt-Head are not real.
They are stupid cartoon people completely made up by this Texas guy whom we
hardly even know. Beavis and Butt-Head are dumb, crude, thoughtless, ugly,
sexist, self-destructive fools. But for some reason, the little wienerheads
make us laugh.�

That �Texas guy,� for the record, is Mike Judge, who would go on to co-create
King of the Hill and Silicon Valley. He also brought Beavis and Butt-Head
back for a ninth season on Paramount+ last year.

Below, take a look at the best of Beavis and Butt-Head�s MTV episodes and the
show�s double-length Paramount+ episodes, as rated by IMDb voters.

Principal McVicker threatens to expel Beavis and Butt-Head from school if
they laugh about sexual innuendo one more time. As one fan noted, however,
the laughing ban coincided with Coach Buzzcut�s sex-ed unit in that episode,

nostalgic about his times with Beavis and Butt-Head when he believes the duo
to be dead. �Compilation shows like this are usually rubbish and annoying �

user observed.

https://youtu.be/lHQrrHRho2Y

hyperactivity.
