1. Come hang out on Twitch! https://www.twitch.tv/finnmckenty

2. Rob Zombie said in an interview
   Beavis and Butt-Head saved White Zombie

3. 14:08 – so that's where the original "Beavis & Butt-Head are not real" disclaimer came from. https://youtu.be/BmOXkVKk1L4
   Thought I'd add that.

4. 3:23 – did you even Animaniacs, bro?
   That show had way more adult humor than you'd think ("fingerprints"). I think by the early 90s, because of The Simpsons and Ren & Stimpy, more people were warming to the idea of cartoons being more than just children's fluff. The 80s had all those toy-commercial cartoon shows, but those were outweighed by plenty of great animated shows the next decade. More adults and teens watched them no problem, it's how we got Cartoon Network.

5. Come on now, it was shit!

6. I remember watching them in 94 and them exposing me to a lot of great rock bands. Mind you I was 10 at that time

7. 5:10 today's youth, minus the good taste in music.

8. fun fact my stepdad told me: my stepdad's father (my grandpa) went to the same high school at the same time as Mike Judge, so that's pretty cool

9. I AM CORNHOLIO

10. Amazing video, but I think that The Simpsons and Ren And Stimpy preceded Beavis And Butt-Head in the adult cartoon arena. But, all three are great cartoons.

11. They showed the videos because MTV was contractually obligated to show them.

12. They killed hair metal. Good for them.

13. I liked what i saw in those shorts too

14. They raised me in the mid 99s….

15. Beavis and butthead. Do the universe lol

16. ..and…most of Gen X's involved in the scene knew 2 guys that were exactly like Beavis and Butthead, at times more stupid than B&B

17. I was in a band 92-93 and every saturday night after practice would would do The Head Banger's Ball ( even tho it really sucked at times ) and Beavis and Butthead mini-marathons

18. Winger should have sued Mike Judge, lol.

19. I wasn't allowed to watch it. I remember waiting til my mom went to bed, sneaking back into the living room. I would turn on the tv with the volume really low, and sit with my face up against the speaker and hope my mom didn't wake when I laughed, lol.

20. The cake's gonna get it's ass kicked! Smash it! Smash it! Yeaaaaaaa!

21. Dammit Pantera!

22. I really got into Milla Jovavich's album for Beavis & Butthead. It was just weird and different. I liked it. I also got into White Zombie from B&B.

23. Classic show that still makes me laugh out loud. Definitely influential in both music and pop culture. You hit it 💯 on the head, ya fart knocker uh huh huh huh 🤘

24. The new episodes and movie are hilarious

25. Please do a part 2! About their influence

26. Mike judge really is so good at what he does. Silicon valley is one of my favorite shows as well, but pretty much all of his stuff is in the top of my favorite shows/movies.

27. Interesting fact I believe the only band they truly hated was Grim reaper who got roasted a total of three times as it turns out the members of Grim Reaper were huge fans of Beavis and Butthead as the story goes Mike Judge ran into them & thought they were going to kick his ass they were fans & thanked him for giving them notoriety

28. Beavis and butthead changed my life

29. Bevis and Butthead was the first reaction channel.

30. That show was excellent and the "B&B-chuckle" was a hallmark of the 1990s. Althemore strange that neither Metallica's nor AC/DC's Wiki-page mention B&B under "cultural references". It's like leaving out Woodstock on the Wiki-page for "Open Air-Festivals"

31. Daria wouldn't have existed either. It had different show runners, but the character was created by Mike Judge.

32. I was born in 89, so I was a little young for Beavis & Butthead when it was originally on, tho I was aware of it. When I was in like maybe 8th or 9th grade tho my buddies and I used to take the bus to our boy Chris’s mom’s apartment on the other side of town and chill and smoke mad weed bc she didn’t seem to care what we did. He had all of the Beavis & Butthead series on DVD, which were kinda new and snazzy at the time. We would get so baked and watch that show and just die laughing. Good times. Ha.

33. Beavis and Butthead were to metal music what Johnny Carson was to stand up comedy.

34. there are 2 types of irish.ones that tell a ton of bad jokes and dont get they are not funny.and serious irish that dont try to be funny and funny goes right over their head.

35. This show was my life I’ll always say breaking the law breaking the law when doing anything

36. Now Beavis & Butt-Head Season 2022 is out!

37. Mike Judge went on to give Winger free promotion in neutral lights on King Of The Hill.

    Perhaps, to make up for it even symbolically, sad their career was pretty much over by then though. I'm sure that didn't hurt though. Unlike in Beavis & Butt-Head…

38. 14:01 Back then, if John McLaughlin was cutting someone off to talk about you on The McLaughlin Group, you’d officially made it!

39. Dork Metal PhD

40. B&B were reaction videos before it was even a thing. It was a great and original show.

41. I discovered so many great bands on Beavis & Butthead. Sick Of It All, Nudeswirl, Entombed, Morbid Angel, the Melvins, Quicksand, Monster Magnet, etc. Sometimes it was a better musical resource than Headbanger's Ball.

42. Such a genius piece of marketing by MTV
