Some lines from Beavis and Butt-head are classics. Some, though, haven’t stood the test of time. In this episode, we’re trying to show those lines some love by pointing out our favorite under-rated lines – the kind of lines that DON’T show up on all-time best lines lists, but they should. We’ve picked out 11 such lines for this episode, where we sort through Van Driessen’s drum circles, Beavis’ monkey-spanking metaphors and Butt-head’s work to avoid public shame. Altogether, they represent the moments we need to recall more!

Watch Beavis and Butt-head long enough and you’ll begin to see the pair of misfits acting, well, adorable. These guys deserve more praise for those times when they were just being themselves – and we’re prepared to give that to them. In this episode, we take a look at some of the duo’s cutest moments, from their most innocent to their most helpful to their most endearing. (And, hey, Beavis stans and Butt-head stans: We get it now!)

If the original-run episodes of Beavis and Butt-head from the 1990s were re-made in the 2020s, would they still work? That’s the question we tackle this week! In trying to answer that question, we realized that some episodes of the original run, either culturally or technologically, have plot points that wouldn’t make sense. Certainly, everything is a product of its time; these episodes are the biggest proof of that. And we love them – sometimes BECAUSE of this, not in spite of it!

In our second of two consecutive “starter pack” episodes, your hosts attempt the true fool’s errand – 10 episodes from the original run to show a noob. Out of the 200-plus episodes, which ones made our cut? Which great episodes were left off the list because they make more sense after someone has seen a full season? And, of course: Which ones ended up on YOUR list?

If you were to choose five episodes of the Beavis and Butt-head reboot to show to someone who’s never seen the show before, which five would be the most likely to get them hooked? That is the question we tackled in this episode. And we had to work together to come up with that list, mostly because our personal preferences varied so much with the reboot’s first three seasons. Which ones ended up on YOUR list?

The TV show “Beavis and Butt-head” and the movie “Office Space,” two of Mike Judge’s most influential pieces of media from the 1990s, don’t appear to have a ton in common on the surface. Dig deeper, though, and the parallels become clear. “Beavis and Butt-head” and “Office Space” share character arcs, motivations, relatability, a way of looking at the world and its people, and, of course, a creator. This episode looks at those similarities and how they work together to help form Judge’s comedic voice, approach to storytelling and legitimacy as a creator.

From blankets to keychains, from dog collars to socks, Beavis’ and Butt-head’s faces have always been on merchandise. In this episode, we explore what that means for the show and its fans. And we ask the big question: When does merchandising cross the line to make a show and its characters officially uncool – and did Beavis and Butt-head ever reach that point?
