Huh-huh Huh-huh...Beavis and Butthead are Back!

After close to 11 years, Beavis and Butthead are back on MTV! The two heavy metal-loving, music video-critiquing doofus teenagers from the brilliant mind of Mike Judge have returned for all-new adventures in an all-new decade. Enough time has passed for the nostalgia factor to bring back older fans as well as reel in a whole new generation. The real question was whether something that was funny in the mid-90's would still be funny in 2011, especially since MTV has become filled with nothing more than reality show programing in exchange for music television. Outside of the old Beavis and Butthead's storylines, the show's main focus was the duo mocking music videos. Now that videos have pretty much gone the way of the dinosaur, could Mike Judge successfully adapt these 90's characters into our new internet-fueled era? Even with technological advancements like Youtube and Facebook, the verdict is in...and Judge shows why he still a master of comedy!!

Last week's debut episode dealt with Beavis and Butthead's attempt to become vampires and werewolves, thinking it will score them chicks after seeing Twilight: Eclipse. In usual B&B fashion, they mistake a crazy homeless guy for a werewolf and convince him to bite them so they can begin "their turn". The second part of the season opener has Beavis' eyes begin to water when he sniffed an onion while the boys are watching The Bachelor. Butthead thinks Beavis started crying because he was "moved' by the episode, so he relentlessly tortures him for being a sissy.

It is almost as if Judge went back to 1993, threw the boys in a time machine and dropped them off in our present day. They still reside at the same crib, state the same expressions and even wear their patented heavy metal t-shirts. The only thing that has changed is the type of shows they view. Sure they still watch videos, what little of them still remain in the world, but they also attack the reality programming that has overtaken their precious MTV. An example of this occurs when the boys hilariously rip apart Jersey Shore cast members during their last season in Italy.

If you enjoyed Beavis and Butthead back in the 90's and their sporadic appearances since then, you should definitely check out the new episodes which deliver the same "shut off your brain for 30 minutes" humor that embedded Judge's creation into pop culture for many years. And if you are too young to remember what "Frog Baseball" is all about or why licking toads is so funny, meet two characters who seem to have adjusted quite naturally into our new world. 

After a lengthy hiatus, the boys have triumphantly returned to television. If you missed last week's episode, you can see it for yourself as The Man-Cave, in compliance with MTV-Viacom, bring you the full season opener below...

New episodes of Beavis and Butthead air every Thursday at 10/9 Central.
