Description:
A national treasure in an age of idiocy… When Beavis and Butt-Head first appeared on MTV more than a decade ago, critics dismissed them as brainless couch potatoes who did nothing but watch TV and make lewd jokes about bodily functions. Today we know they were ahead of their time. Beavis and Butt-Head's unique idiocy profoundly changed television, movies, pop culture and the world. This historic box set, personally edited by creator Mike Judge, includes their finest episodes, specials, promos and guest appearances that so enriched a grateful and stupid nation.
Amazon.com:
Beavis is the one in the Metallica T-shirt. Butt-Head is the one in the AC/DC T-shirt. Hobbies include nose picking, head banging, and breaking stuff. Needless to say, they are very, very stupid. When not attending Highland High, (hardly) working at Burger World, or watching the boob (huh-huh) tube, they're harassing Mr. Anderson, who's often hiring them for some job or another. Emmy-winning creator Mike Judge (Office Space), who voices the characters, hand-picked the 40 shorts in this collection, including 23 director's cut editions.
Throughout the shorts, which were created for MTV, Beavis and Butt-Head do their worst. Stunts they pull on the dim-bulb Anderson, a prototype for King of the Hill's Hank Hill, include: Riding off with his mower ('Home Improvement'), chopping down his tree ('Lawn and Garden'), throwing his poodle in the washer ('Washing the Dog'), and destroying his golf clubs ('Pool Toys'). Fate has a funny way of catching up with the cretins, however, as when Beavis gets bit by a rabid dog ('Rabies Scare') and goes to hell ('The Final Judgement of Beavis') or when Butt-Head chokes on a piece of chicken ('Choke') and gets his mouth wired shut ('Patients, Patients').
Other characters include buddy Stewart, bully Todd, pinhead Principal McVicker, teachers Buzzcut and Van Driessen, and the Great Cornholio (Beavis's demonic alter-ego). Guest voices include David Spade ('Manners Suck'), David Letterman ('Late Night With Butt-Head'), and Gilbert Gottfried ('Right On'). As astute fans are sure to notice, this set omits the word 'complete' from the title as Judge chose not to include those shorts he considers 'really, really awful and embarrassing' (mostly those in which B&B set things on fire). Plus, there's more to come from seasons five through seven and the mini-documentary Taint of Greatness makes for a nice addition. --Kathleen C. Fennessy

Rating:  - A disgrace....
I would like to thank all the reviewers here who have informed me that this set is censored and altered in an unforgiveable fashion. Mike Judge and MTV should be ashamed of themselves. Who do they think they're protecting? They should show courage and release them uncut.
This series was hilarious when it came out, and surprisingly, it hasn't dated at all. Usually stuff in the 1990's is littered with pop culture references that are completely lost in later decades (The Ben Stiller ... Read More
Rating:  - Great Collection
Having purchased and watched all of the discs in all three volumes I can safely say these low ratings are a result of the misconception that massive editing occurred. Minor editing took place on a few episodes, but throughout the three collections over 90% of the animation was released. Mike Judge left out certain episodes because they were uncut or substandard. He didn't want the poorest of footage to detract from the overall quality of the video. I'm aggravated how many people first state their love ... Read More
Rating: - It's Stupid, Of Course.
I always liked Beavis and Butthead when their program was on MTV. I guess a lot of people did. I understand the ratings would triple when that particular program was showing. Well, it was unique, irreverent, quite different and could be very funny it times. The B & B humor always tended to be gender specific. If a mixed group watched, the men would mostly be chuckling with the women mostly thinking it was really stupid. Well, it was really stupid, and it was also very funny. It gets a lot of the same ...

Rating: - Hysterical - Censorship = DiSsApPoInTiNg!!!
I have been waiting for my son to be old enough to "get" B&B. Now that he is we (luckly) rented so far the first 2 discs. I don't usually watch cartoons, BUT Beavis & Butthead have been my favs since day one. That said, I was SO disappointed in these discs. I for one feel cheated, I was looking foward to the B&B I knew... bad videos & all. OK I know getting the rights to some of the videos would've been a hassle, but at the very least give us the UNCUT eps. ALL the EPS!!!
I'm not ... Read More
