My Bites and Bytes: Beavis and Butthead are back, DVD
Beavis and Butthead: The Mike Judge Collection Volume Two and Three
I decided to combine this review because there's only so much that you can say about each DVD set, but as a whole, you can probably nail it in one small section.
This past summer, both the remaining (as of this time) sets of Mike Judge's hand picked Beavis and Butthead cartoons hit the DVD format, and although I'm not happy that this is not a complete season release (due to Mike Judge's opinion that some of the latter cartoons are just crap), I am happy to get some of the best Beavis and Butthead shorts in my hands.
I don't know how, but if you haven't ever seen “Beavis and Butthead,” then you're missing out on one of the best and most groundbreaking cartoons from the 90s. It features two early teens that just have no concept of reality except that heavy metal music, TV and nachos are the only things that matter in life.
Volume two has 40 episodes and Volume three has 42 episodes for your viewing pleasure. Each DVD set contains an abundance of special appearances where, in my mind, Beavis and Butthead are whored out. If Mike Judge thought that some of the latter episodes were crap, then I have no idea why he would include some of these hard to watch vignettes.
One of the best parts of the “Beavis and Butthead” cartoon are sections during the original broadcasts where the two juveniles sat in front of the TV and commented on music videos of all types. Thank goodness I have a ton of these still on VHS waiting for my lazy-ass to convert them on DVD, but each DVD set has at least ten of these video commentaries on them. MC 900 FT. JESUS', "If I Only Had a Brain" is definitely one that you should check out and if you don't laugh, I don't think you have a soul.
The other great thing about getting both of these sets is that you can complete watching the “Taint of Greatness: The Journey of Beavis and Butt-Head” documentaries, where Mike Judge and others involved with the show take you through the ups, downs and everything in between during the run of the show. It's insightful but it still makes me want to know a little more.
Like I said before, it's a bummer that they didn't just release these cartoons as season box sets, but to get a hold of these cartoons in their crisp DVD glory is good enough for me. If you love immature, non-PC humor and have never seen the show, get this, now! As for those of you who want to take a trip back to the 90s, I have no problem recommending these sets. Nine out of ten.
