Beavis
and Butthead.
Wow - that brings back memories
of college, when we used to crowd around the dorm TV to
watch it.
Of course, I think most of
us got sick of it after about the first 10 episodes. It
was pretty funny for a while though.
As for what they will make
fun of now that MTV doesn't show videos much anymore -
according to the pop culture oracle of wisdom (aka Wikipedia):
" As in the old series,
Beavis and Butt-head are high school students who, among
other things, criticize contemporary music videos.[5] In
an interview with Rolling Stone, MTV president Van Toffler
said that the duo will also watch Jersey Shore, Ultimate
Fighting Championship matches, and amateur videos from
YouTube, as well as give movie reviews. "
YouTube videos eh? That's
pathetic. Of course there are probably more music videos
on YouTube now than MTV...
So it sounds like they're
branching out a lot in their interests. If they actually
DO show an occasional video, it'll be way more than MTV
shows now.
Not that I would know. I stopped
watching MTV in the mid-90s, back when they ... um ...
stopped showing music videos. I don't even have cable now.
Anyhow. No chance of me watching
B&B now. That's one show I don't even need my kids
to know exists! :)
(Of course, they have heard
the occasional "Are
you threatening me?" from me, when someone has
had too much caffeine or sugar......)
