(Next of Ken, March 9, 2018) 33 moments from "Beavis & Butt-Head" that will always be funny"

I am Cornholio. I need TP for my bunghole! " In this episode of Next of Ken, let's count down 33 moments from an MTV show that is definitely an acquired taste. However, it spawned two spinoff shows, "King of the Hill" and "Daria," all three of which achieved amazing success (patreon.com/nextofken).

(Unimportant Entertainment, July 1, 2018) Beavis and Butt-Head is an American adult animated sitcom created and designed by Mike Judge for MTV. The series originated from "Frog Baseball," a horrific 1992 short film by Judge that originally aired on Liquid Television.

After seeing the short MTV signed Judge to develop the concept. The series first ran from March 8, 1993 to November 28, 1997. It was later renewed for an eighth season, which aired from October 27 to December 29, 2011. In 1996, the series was adapted into the animated feature film Beavis and Butt-Head Do America.

The show centers on two socially incompetent teenage delinquents, Beavis and Butt-Head (both voiced by Mike Judge), who attend school at Highland High in Highland, Texas. They have no apparent adult supervision at home, are dim-witted, under-educated, and barely literate. Both lack any empathy or moral scruples, even regarding each other.

They will usually deem things they encounter as "cool" if they are associated with heavy metal, violence, sex, destruction, or the macabre. While they have no experience with girls, the two share an obsession with sex. They tend to chuckle whenever they hear words or phrases that can even remotely be interpreted as sexual or scatological.

Each episode features frequent interstitial scenes in which they critique music videos using commentary improvised by Judge (in Season 8 they also commented on clips from other MTV shows such as The Jersey Shore and True Life, plus shows from other Viacom-owned networks such as Spike).

The remainder of the episodes depict the duo embarking on some kind of scheme or adventure.Their teachers at Highland High are often at a loss as to how to deal with them. And in many episodes they skip school altogether. Their actions sometimes result in serious consequences, but often for others, for which they themselves show no remorse.
