They're baaaaaaaaack!
Beavis & Butt-Head, following a TV-movie that served as a warm-up for their latest series, are now streaming weekly on Paramount+. This series was originally intended for Comedy Central, but was moved to the streamer, which, in hindsight, is a good thing.
Not only are the boys looking at social media such as TikTok, but in this episode, a country music video, the kind they would've thumbed their noses at back in the day.
In the opener, the boys visit an "Escape Room", only to be briefly trapped in a restroom because of their illiteracy. Yes, Mike Judge is still doing homages to the original Electric Company as Butt-Head sounds out words written on a bathroom stall.
Then, Beavis goes solo, without Butt-Head, and we learn about his love of fire. You'll recall that in the original 1993-7 series, that obsession led to a real-life apartment fire because of a small child (not the target audience) emulating what he saw. A sentient blaze (Piotr Michael) shares the stage in "The Special One".
