Beavis and Butthead

Im trying to remember the first time I ever watched Beaver and Buffcoat. I know it was in 1993 near the beginning. I had not heard about it or anything. So it had to be before it got really popular. But I can't quite remember which one. They all sorta bleed together for me. I remember my mother getting really upset when she saw the show and actually made an attempt to stop me from watching it. I think its because I used the word horny to describe an old person. I had thidea that horny meant you were old and grouchy, or in a bad mood. As I got older I learned I was at the very least partially correct.

My mother was so adamant about this this that MTV actually got blocked for a brief period. This was a huge war brewing in the Rodgers home. Or at least it was for me because this was one of the best things I had ever experienced. So I was determined to watch it. It was cool because at the time it was on a lot. An hour at 6 pm and a hour at 11/midnight. Unfortunatly by the time this was reslved MTV had caved like the spineless wimps they are and airings became really eratic. I remember watching MTV for hours hoping to see the black screen and hearing the laughing.

The funny thing is Mama became a big fan of the show. She thought it was hilarious because she got the humor of it. Of course we had this fight in 1990 over the Simpsons when I told another kid to stick their finger up their but. Which was mistakenly attributed to the Simpsons. By 93 she thought it was great. The argument got started again with South Park in 1997. But by then I was 16 so it did not matter.


Okay thats a long way to get to my point. I bought the first Mike Judge Collection for cheap at walmart last month. ay what you will about Walmart but if you keep your eyes open you can find great deals on dvd sets.

It was hilarious. so hilarious I can barely remember them from laughing. I went right out and bought volume 2. Volume 2 was even funnier but I was laughing too hard to remember much. But tonight I put in the bonus disc included with a preview for volume 3.

Butt Flambe



This was incredible. This could have been the Beavis and Butthead movie. it feels like we missed the first act. The duo are walking into the Emergency Room Butthead is his usual jovial self. But Beavis is in terrible pain with his butt badly burnt. We see the return of Harry Sach (from Prank Call) and he is bleeding from three slugs in the gut. Beavis finally gets admitted after seeing the damage done to his anus. There is something hilarious about Beavis being in so much pain. I think it is because he starts sounding like a real person. There is also a sub plot about Butthead going around the hospital posing as a doctor. Thats about all I can say without spoiling it.


A Great Day

I think no episode sums up the appeal of the show like this one. the boys are having the bst day of their lives. School is closed, they find porn an a lot of cool stuff happens. I think the only real moral in this show is enjoying the small things in live and appreciating what you have. Beaver and Buff Coat were dealt a pretty shitty lot in life but it never gets them down. They are always in a good mood (well Butthead is) and they find happiness where they can find it. Whether its finding porn, watching dogs hump or getting twenty bucks from Jeffery Dahmer. Watching this put me in a good mood.

Take A Lap


This was the first episode on the disc. i went in reverse order because I could not remember the episode title. The weakest one on the disc but still funny. Beewax and Bongo are watching an infomercial on tv. Remember that really energetic guy with the blond hair and ponytail who was always hocking some equipment? Well its him. He tells them they need his Megagain powder. Unable to order it they go to stewerts House and make their own protein shake with pork and beans and ice cream among other things.

I like this episode fine but its not better than Water Safety or Beard Boys, two episodes kept off dvd.


I will probably write more about Volume 3 and get into the third that suck.
