How did this movie/television show EVER become popular? This is the ABSOLUTE stupidest thing that I've EVER seen, and I've attended public high school. While watching this show, it was as though I could FEEL my brain get stupider and stupider. I hate everything about this movie and I hope I never have to go through the torture of watching it ever, EVER again!
Beavis and Butt-Head is commentary on our brain-dead pop culture, teenage idiocy, and our neverending consumption of stupid, and it's actually a pretty brilliant creation. B&B are a reflection of what our culture is, not a symptom of it. To call this "the ABSOLUTE stupidest thing [you've] EVER seen!" is missing the point of what B&B has been engineered to show you. To quote Roger Ebert, "those who deplore Beavis and Butt-Head are confusing the messengers with the message."
Isn't it amazing how much you can read something into a show that isn't there? Beavis and Butthead was supposed to a stupid comedy about stupid people. Maybe the show changed after its revival? I'm unfamiliar with that version. Mike Judge went on to do a movie about the things you mentioned... It was called Idiocracy. It's worth noting that movie is more intelligently written. It's a much more clever story. Though whether it's funnier is arguable...
B&B was always mocking people like them and their lifestyle, not glorifying it. I'm always amazed at the amount of people who don't understand that. Mike Judge is making fun of brain dead consumption obsessed teenagers who then turn into idiot adults who continue to do the same thing. We're laughing at B&B, not with them.
