| | | 40 Cartoons Hand-Picked by Mike Judge!
Features: DVD
Animator Mike Judge scored a veritable pop-culture phenomenon with his 1990s MTV cartoon series BEAVIS AND BUTT-HEAD. Centered on the moronic misadventures of the two heavy-metal teens, the series definitively captured the decade's cultural zeitgeist with its slacker protagonists' couch-potato antics and so-dumb-they're-clever observations on the strip-mall-strewn landscape of late-20th-century America. Light on plot but heavy on farcical satire, BEAVIS AND BUTT-HEAD's edgy brand of humor quickly vaulted the series into the highest echelons of cult fandom while garnering controversy for its gleeful promotion of antisocial behavior. This collection revisits the series' eternally adolescent appeal with 40 episodes handpicked by Judge, 17 of which have never before been released. Most remarkably, he has also included 13 music videos replete with Beavis and Butt-Head's indelible commentary.System Requirements:Running Time 226 Mins.Format: DVD MOVIE

"One of MTV's most popular shows ever...it was great fun to see these hilarious episodes again..." CurrentFilm.com
"Shows like "South Park" and "Family Guy" probably have a lot to thank the MTV cartoon for." Rafe Telsch, CinemaBlend

Beavis And Butt-head implies that its utterly amoral protagonists aren't aberrant anomalies so much as sturdy archetypes that ricochet through the generations, shock troops in a coming wave of de-evolution. In one of the show's most resonant running gags, the boys' mindless, grunting laughter is parroted back at them by adults who should know better. That may be the key to the show's enduring popularity, as well as its most sinister implication: The idea that there's more than a little Beavis And Butt-head in everyone. - Nathan Rabin
