In episode two, the pair watch a BTS video. In fairness, the occasional music video does crop up, but it’s clear that their hearts aren’t really in it. And, as with the original, the mockery is so gleeful that you find yourself cheering them on a little. They lay into a woman who makes ASMR (autonomous sensory meridian response videos). And so this version of Beavis and Butt-Head comes studded with segments where the pair watch viral videos about, say, making your own prison tattoos, and breezily mock the accent of the idiot telling the internet how to do it. Three decades ago, those people joined bands. The people who most urgently need deflating are pompous and preening and utterly self-regarding. And, in fairness to Judge, this makes a lot of sense. Without the material provided to them by self-regarding pop stars, what could Beavis and Butt-Head possibly mock in 2022? The music industry has entered such a state of stasis that the biggest hit of the summer is a 37-year-old Kate Bush song that was shown in a Netflix programme about a girl running away from a monster.

In July 2020, Comedy Central ordered two seasons of a “reimagined” Beavis and Butt-Head series (with Judge once again on board) that project was shuffled to Paramount+ in February 2022 and is expected to premiere on the streamer later this year. The show originally aired on MTV from 1993-97, then came back for an eighth season on the network in 2011. “Mike Judge has reimagined this dynamic duo in a way that is sure to have both old fans and new ones alike laughing out loud - and we couldn’t be more excited to bring them back into our rapidly expanding arsenal of hit adult animation.” “Beavis and Butt-Head were defining voices of a generation, and to this day, the show is one of the most well-known and beloved animated IPs of all time,” said Chris McCarthy, president and CEO of Paramount Media Networks and MTV Entertainment Studios. Beavis and Butt-Head creator Mike Judge will be back to voice both of the titular slackers, while the rest of the voice cast includes Gary Cole ( NCIS), Chris Diamantopoulos ( Made for Love), Nat Faxon ( Our Flag Means Death), Brian Huskey ( Bob’s Burgers), Chi McBride ( Hawaii Five-0), Tig Notaro ( Star Trek: Discovery), Stephen Root ( Barry), Andrea Savage ( I’m Sorry), Martin Starr ( Silicon Valley) and Jimmy O.
