      To be fair, if I just lost my kids to a fire because I was out while they were watching TV, I'd blame the TV show or the fact the remote doesn't have safety features.
      Though the mom left her 2 kids unattended and with the ability to make a fire. A 5 year old shouldn't be able to make fire.

    I saw another video about the incident that had an interview with the boy that set the fire after he was grown. He said he didn't even have cable to watch Beavis and Butt-Head, and his mother was always leaving him and his sister unattended due to a drug addiction , and she made the up the whole Beavis and Butt-Head story.

      That makes sense.
      You have to question why a 5 and 2 year old were left unattended long enough for the 5 year old to have the ability to start a fire.
      Most likely the mother also left lighters around the house. Unattended 5 year old with a lighter is a very dangerous thing.

      Lazy, neglectful parents often look to these things they use as parenting supplements when faced with their children's shitty behaviour. Instead of introspecting, they blame is on da veedeo gaems or da teeevee!!! Because to admit otherwise would expose that they are shitty parents and are responsible for their children's upbringing and behaviour. But these kinds of morons hate responsibility, despite constantly shitting out children. So we get controversies like this!

But by the time of Family Guy and South Park, there wasn't too many complaints about them. I think I once seen the media try to go after South Park, but ultimately, by that point, the mold had been broken.

First B&B impersonate what they watch on PBS, then a concerned parent asked for details about what they saw, then asked if "the old guy with glasses" they saw was Howard Stern. Then the woman looks through the TV list, and decides there's "no way" it could have been Benjamin Franklin. (The woman later discovers B&B also saw music videos that day, then concludes that music videos were to blame for B&B's actions.)

    Beavis and Butthead: Is clearly a show not meant for children

  • @luigimaster111
    @luigimaster111 2 роки тому +8

    I watched Beavis and Butthead at a very early age, and I believe it's why I became more mature than my peers during my elementary and middle school years. The reason it helped is twofold I believe, for one the show acted as a sort of swear dictionary, outlining behavior that I should avoid if I wanted to be seen as mature, and since acting mature got me more freedom and privileges from my parents not imitating the main characters was more beneficial from my perspective, secondly it acted as an outlet for my immaturity so that the desire to act immaturely in social situations would arise less often, kind of like how violent video games can act as an outlet for people who might otherwise have desires to act violently in the real world.
    I am thankful for my parent's irresponsibility as I wouldn't be the person I am today without it.

    Half of the time with Beavis and Butthead you're laughing with them, the other half of the time you're laughing at them. The underlying punchline of the whole show is they're a pair of dumb teenage boys. Sometimes they say things that young guys actually think, sometime they do insanely stupid things. I enjoy watching the show but I recognize that it's only a cartoon not meant to be taken that seriously and it's not intended for young children. It still bothers me knowing a 2 year old child died back then because of a house fire and I'm not intending to blow that off, it's horrible. However the real lesson I think needed to be learned is that parents should be more responsible for their children. TV isn't responsible for raising your children, you are. Small children don't know any better than to play with fire but their parents do. It's a shame a 2 year old had to die and people still didn't get it.
    While on this topic, growing up I've come to realize that the '[fill in the blank] rots your brain' argument tends to be a load of garbage. It's been around for decades, 'video games will rot your brain', 'TV/movies will rot your brain', 'music will rot your brain', 'comic books will rot your brain'. About a hundred or so year ago older generations were telling the youth to not read books because it was a waste of time when they could be out and about doing things and having experiences. Nowadays older folks preach to the youth to read books instead. Charlie Manson the killer went on record stating that the White album by the Beatles inspired some of his killings. Since 1 guy was a psycho killer I guess we need to ban the Beatles because it's not like anyone else has common sense and can think for themselves. Everything is going to have it's strengths and weaknesses, some more than others probably, but overall it's a stupid argument that's been going on forever. Replace 'X' with the newest thing and news stations have something to bitch about.

    My mom was around 33 or so when Beavis and Butthead came out. My twin sister and I were a year old when it came out. She loved it and knew how to keep an eye on her twin girls so they wouldn’t watch it. However, as we got older, we were able to watch a few episodes if reruns were on. My mom dropped out of high school in the 70’s when she found out she was pregnant with my older brother. He has an above-genius level IQ and would watch the show if it was on while he was doing homework. My twin sister and I both have above-genius level IQ’s too, so it certainly didn’t dumb down any of our minds! Ultimately, it was (and still is) the responsibility of parents to monitor their children. There is no excuse for a parent letting their five-year-old watch a TV show that is clearly meant for teenagers and adults. It was tragic what happened to the little girl, but a five-year-old isn’t going to comprehend the extent of his actions. Had his parents actually played the role of parents, he would not have burned his house or even watched the show in the first place. Beavis and Butthead will always remind me of the 90’s. It was a better time then. TV shows nowadays are garbage.

    To be fair, there are a few times where media does influence people for the worse:
    - When the movie Jaws was released, people started killing sharks for no reason, more than we were doing already, most sharks are killed to eat their fins, but killing them for no reason helped, the movie made it hard to convince people that sharks are a part of nature and must be preserved.
    - Gangsta rap led people to the thug life style, thinking that's it's cool to be a crook, while listening to hip-hop music alone won't make you a criminal, it is a catalyst.
    But in the end, we shouldn't be blaming media like music, movies, cartoons, comics and videogames on everything, we need to educate people, and kids need parenting, it doesn't matter if it's a CRT TV or a tablet, kids shouldn't be watching whatever they want unsupervised.

      From Wikipedia: "The show was blamed for the death of two-year-old Jessica Messner in Moraine, Ohio, in October 1993. The girl's five-year-old brother, Austin, set fire to his mother's mobile home with a cigarette lighter, killing the two-year-old.[17] The mother later claimed that her son watched an episode in which the characters said "fire was fun".[17] However, the neighbors stated that the family did not even have cable television and would thus be unable to view the show.[18][19]
      In February 1994, watchdog group Morality in Media claimed that the death of eight-month-old Natalia Rivera, struck by a bowling ball thrown from an overpass onto a highway in Jersey City, New Jersey, near the Holland Tunnel by 18-year-old Calvin J. Settle, was partially inspired by Beavis and Butt-Head.[24] The group said that Settle was influenced by the episode "Ball Breakers", in which Beavis and Butt-Head load a bowling ball with explosives and drop it from a rooftop.[24] While Morality in Media claimed that the show inspired Settle's actions, the case's prosecutors did not. It was later revealed by both prosecutors and the defendant that Settle did not have cable TV, nor did he watch the show."
      I saw another video about the incident that had an interview with the boy that set the fire after he was grown. He said he didn't even have cable to watch Beavis and Butt-Head, and his mother was always leaving him and his sister unattended due to a drug addiction , and she made the up the whole Beavis and Butt-Head story.

    My dad and I always watched Beavis and Butthead together but he told me if I were try anything I saw, I'd get five across the ass and a week away from tv. To this day I still laugh at this show with him even with the uproar it caused and the promises issued.

    Hey boss, you said MTV removed episodes with fire. Does this apply to the seasons on Paramount+? This is a surprisingly difficult show to aquire with out modifications. I just want the original run.

      I'm pretty sure they only have the Mike judge collection on paramount+. Outside of fan recordings I don't think you can see all or even most of the original episodes.

    The parent blamed the show so she could deflect blame for failing to notice the very obvious signs of a house being burned down and failing to teach her school aged child that he shouldn't play with fire. My 5 year old was listening to this and asked why he was playing with fire and if his sister went to heaven (😭). Like, they know better at that age typically

    That’s not the show’s fault, characters (Beavis and Butthead) it’s the parents fault.

    I’m a hardcore conservative, and I love this show, it’s a great satire on what happens when teens are raised by the tv.

    While it was indeed a tragic accident to lose his sister in the fire, his parents should have taught him not to play with fire, let alone play with fire in the house. While television could have given him the idea, that does not mean it is the fault of the cartoon. Parents should teach their kids that cartoons are not meant to be replicated and monitor their television if they think it has that big of an impact.
