Beavis and Butt-Head Returning to MTV This Summer

Michael Crider — Thu, 03 Feb 2011 04:07:09 +0000

MTV’s original bad boys are returning to television in the summer of 2011.

The network announced the revival of Mike Judge’s iconic cartoon Beavis and Butt-head at an upfront meeting for the US version of Skins.

Beavis and Butt-head was one of several 90s era cartoons that drew both applause and controversy for raunchy language and themes. The series ran from 1993-1997, and the titular characters became pop culture icons by the time Beavis and Butt-head Do America hit theaters in 1996. Mike Judge, who would go on to make King of the Hill and cult classics Office Space and Idiocracy, created the series and voiced both main characters.

The new Beavis and Butt-Head episodes will be nothing short of a direct continuation of the original series. Decidedly not a ...

‘Beavis and Butt-Head’ Returning to MTV

Chris Schrader — Thu, 15 Jul 2010 16:26:16 +0000

Score! The New York Post is reporting that MTV has decided to move forward with new episodes of Beavis and Butt-Head. Rumors surfaced last week that series creator Mike Judge was outlining a new batch of episodes in hopes that the network would pick them up and now it’s official – the perpetually adolescent duo will return.

Beavis and Butt-Head first appeared in Judge’s short animated film Frog Baseball which was shown on MTV’s Liquid Television. The network then ordered a full series based on the misadventures of the slacker protagonists. Beavis and Butt-Head premiered in 1993 and its crude humor and animation style made it as successful as it was controversial.

The show’s popularity led to the feature film Beavis and Butt-Head Do America in 1996. Although MTV would ultimately pull ...

Beavis and Butt-Head Promote ‘Extract’ Web Trailer

Ross Miller — Wed, 02 Sep 2009 14:46:41 +0000

Today we have a new web-only trailer for the upcoming Mike Judge film, Extract. After bringing us the likes of Office Space, King of the Hill and Beavis and Butt-Head, Judge’s latest film is about a man who’s one step away from selling his flavor extract factory when a freak work accident sets in motion a series of disasters that puts his business and personal life in jeopardy.

That’s not your usual premise (I don’t think I’ve seen a movie that’s about the same thing), but it’s definitely a pretty good reason to go and see the film. On top of the new Extract trailer, we also have Judge’s classic slacker morons, Beavis and Butt-Head on hand to help promote the film.

Thanks to FirstShowing and Yahoo, check out the ...

Beavis and Butt-Head: The Sequel?

Kofi Outlaw — Mon, 31 Aug 2009 21:36:03 +0000

Mike Judge, creator of Beavis and Butt-Head and King of the Hill – and one of the most criminally underrated comedic geniuses on the planet – was recently doing press tour for his new film Extract, and was asked about the long-rumored, long-stalled, follow-up to the 1996 feature film, Beavis and Butt-Head Do America.

Judge’s talk was purely speculative, but in my case it’s nonetheless fun to hear. I was in middle school / high school during the 90s, and to me, Beavis and Butt-Head were the ushers of my adolescence.

Well before I nearly laughed myself to death watching South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut, I did in fact laugh myself to death in Beavis and Butt-Head Do America and had to be resuscitated.

According to what Mike Judge told WENN, he would either like to ...

Will We See A Live-Action Beavis and Butt-Head Movie?

Eh-heh… heh…

Butt-head: “This bowling ball isn’t human! It doesn’t feel pain! It can’t be reasoned with!”

After the “Frog Baseball” short that helped spark the show, Beavis and Butt-head, went on to last from 1993 to 1997 on MTV and accumulated quite the following.

In a recent article over on MTV.com, Mike Judge, creator of Beavis and Butt-head says he is THINKING about the idea of a live action movie version of the totally cool, slow to spark pair of America’s favorite teens in wasting.

Judge has brought us King of the Hill on Fox, (which I sometimes wonder if this wasn’t Judge’s idea of Butt-head all grown up and off of caffeine). In addition, he’s brought us the flick Office Space, the biting social satire Ideocracy (which ...
