You spoke recently about a casting session for a live-action Beavis and Butt-Head project that never got off the ground. Judge at the Beavis and Butt-Head Do Comic-Con panel during Comic-Con in July. It might might be too sad to see them being 20 years old and still losers, but I don’t mind seeing them being 50 and still comfortable with themselves. We just go straight to them being over-the-hill. But in the new episodes, we don’t ever see them in their twenties or anything. You see a brief image of them in as if they had never gone into space, though we were kind of cheating the age a bit. Those have been really fun to do.īack in 2011, you told me that you could picture Beavis and Butt-Head as toddlers, teenagers, and old men, but those adult years were kind of a blank spot in your mind. We’re also kind of expanding it, since we’re doing some episodes where they’re middle-aged. And we were starting off with a movie, going bigger, rather than, “Here’s episode number 198.” The movie brought a real energy back.
MTV just didn’t want to do anymore.īut this time, with Paramount Plus, there was just more enthusiasm behind it. But it actually did pretty well - the ratings were good. There were a lot of problems on the animation side of things, trying to get it to look right. That set up this new season, where they live in the present as the same idiotic teenagers they were when the original show went off the air, though there will be occasionally looks into the future where we finally see them as adults. It was preceded in June by the movie Beavis and Butt-Head Do the Universe, where the duo travel through a black hole from 1998 to 2022.
With Silicon Valley now behind him after a six-season run on HBO, Judge is bringing his career full circle by creating a new version of Beavis and Butt-Head for Paramount Plus, which begins Aug. It then set Judge on a course toward creating timeless works of satirical brilliance like Office Space, King of the Hill, Idiocracy, and Silicon Valley. The formula never grew stale, and the show wrapped up in 1998 with the hit movie Beavis and Butt-Head Do America. It didn’t seem like anything especially brilliant at the time, especially since it ends with them viciously attacking a poodle, but it somehow gave birth to one of the most beloved shows in MTV history.īeavis and Butt-Head, which crammed in seven seasons between 19, held a funhouse mirror up to the MTV audience, as the duo spent most of their time watching bad music videos, eating nachos, and failing to understand every moronic situation they found themselves in. Thirty years ago, an obscure Texas filmmaker named Mike Judge created the animated short Frog Baseball, in which two heavy metal-obsessed teenagers named Beavis and Butt-Head brutalize an amphibian with a baseball bat.
