The project 1993 deserves attention or at least a chance to watch the pilot series, where just the first scene demonstrates the model of conceptual construction of the plot development. The abundance of situations understandable to millions of viewers makes this series one of the best in the Animation, Comedy genre. The main decoration Beavis and Butt-head - the details, which, like a boa constrictor following a rabbit, will be watched by the viewer. The episodes are broken up by short breaks in which Beavis and Butt-head watch and make fun of music videos. Each show contains short cartoons centering on the duo who live in the fictitious town of Highland, Texas. Overviewīeavis and Butt-head are high school students whose lifestyles revolve around TV, junk food (usually nachos), shopping malls, heavy metal music, and trying to ”score with chicks”. MTV aired 8 seasons and 219 episodes for now. ![]() Of course Beavis and Butthead are exaggerations of teenage males, but nevertheless I find them a rather refreshing change from the portrayals of teenagers in shows such as Beverly Hills 90210 and Dawson's Creek, who seem as articulate, poised, and self-confident as a bunch of sophisticated 28-year-olds, and who do not ring true to me at all.Beavis and Butt-head (US, MTV) aired on 1993 and belongs to the following categories: Animation, Comedy. They're somehow this weird combination of innocence and jadedness at the same time, and this, combined with their passive observer nature, makes Beavis and Butthead an extremely dead-on accurate portrayal of adolescent males. They see sex and rock music on TV, they think and talk about sex and rock music all the time, and they've never had sex or played rock music. And of course, what makes B & B's sarcastic detached cockiness all the more ironic is that they have extremely passive and uneventful lives: they spend all their time "hanging out" and doing the same stupid stuff, yet they somehow (well, Butthead especially) consider themselves qualified to put on this jaded cynical act. ![]() It's that sarcastic, detached, "I'm so cool" kind of voice that teenage boys use constantly - even for such a banality as a simple declarative statement about a band's name. And when I heard the tone of voice he used, it hit me. I can even remember the exact moment I "got it": Beavis and Butthead were watching a video by the Red Hot Chili Peppers and adding their usual commentary, and when the video ended and the name of the band appeared on the screen, Butthead read their name out loud. I knew they were popular but I didn't "get it." Then, part of the way through the first episode I watched, I "got it." The reason Beavis & Butthead is so funny is that it does an extremely dead-on accurate job of portraying a very real aspect of teenage males that had been completely overlooked in a lot of previous television. ![]() I had heard of them I would occasionally see B & B pop up on an MTV awards show and receive lots of laughter and applause - the laughter and applause of recognition. Some of them say, "But it's just stupid! It's just two morons laughing and being crude all the time!" Well, I thought so too, before I ever watched the show. Well, actually, not all that closeted, but when I tell people I enjoy the show, sometimes they just don't get it.
