    It's kind of heartwarming how quickly Letterman took to these two.
    ...Yes, it's Beavis and Butthead of all people, but it's more so the talent behind this show mixing with a class act of a late night host.

    This video shows how Beavis and Butthead's reception has changed over the decades. I remember being a kid in school and being yelled at by some girl cuz she overheard me doing the B&B laugh.. as if it were some disgusting violation😠. Now, in 2022, their movie has a score of 97% on Rotten Tomatoes???😯 Thanks for posting the video!

      The 1996 movie got pretty good reviews and was well received by both fans and critics, and as I remember it, by the time the 96 film came out the show had not had any problems or controversy as it did just a mere 3 years prior. I was a hardcore fan right from the start as a 10 year old girl, I got A LOT of hate in school for being a fan especially from my female classmates, but by 96 it kinda died down. I remember even non fans going to see the movie and enjoying it. Nowadays, I think nostalgia is playing a big role in why so many people are hyped about the new movie and show but it is really good and the OG fans are all grown up now and don't have to worry about what other people think anymore

    you can tel B&B was a breath of fresh air for Letterman, when i saw his first interview with M.Judge i got the feeling he was talking to him like a fanboy, rather than an interviewer. he clearly was fascinated with the concept of the show and was one of the first ones who undertood where they were coming from

    Dave embraced this show and he had no requirement - it wasn’t on his network. You wouldn’t see that now. He also had Mike Judge, who was a small animator, on a lot. Letterman had a cameo in the first film. You can’t talk about that series without mentioning Letterman’s unwavering support of it. B & B are modern day Three Stooges and Letterman made them cooler to like.

      Uhh no… they were garbage. They claimed “Alien”.. one of the best movies ever made, so good it holds up today just as well as it did over 40 years ago as a “haunted house movie in space that never pays off”. The only movies they seemed to applaud were the artsy fartsy type that the general audience thought were ok at best. I don’t wish them harm and hope they found peace in death but as film critics they were highly overrated and untrustworthy

To say they only enjoyed artsy fartsy stuff is either willfully disingenuous, or plain ignorant. Even Siskel, the snootier of the two liked movies such as Starship Troopers, Robocop, and the Rambo movies. They weren't perfect, but they were always sincere.

    2) The show which opened with leafing through a Sears catalog and ended with dentist chairs and Jane Pauley refusing to answer questions because helium
    3) the show where you flew the audience to Florida
    4) Any episode where Terri Gar was in the shower

    I was an early teen when Bevis and Butthead came out. I didn't and still don't like them. I need a bit more story to be entertained. I did fall for Family Guy, however.

      Family guy has practically zero story whatsoever.

      Maybe because b&b have two characters that joke around and other characters in this show are pretty serious.
      While family guy has a whole town of jokers nobody is serious.

      That's why there are so many choices in entertainment. People have different tastes. You feeling that way kinda makes me wonder why you bothered to click on this video in the first place.
