Destroy All Podcasts DX Episode 106 - Beavis and Butt-Head Do AmericaSubmitted by Destroy All Pod... on 24 August, 2009 - 03:25. Audio | Destroy All Podcasts DX
Hosts: Jeremy, Mike This is about roadtrips, two morons getting their TV stolen, and peyote hallucinations to the tune of White Zombie. And Bill Clinton. This is the fourth edition of our month devoted to MTV animation! Click [HERE] to have a sweet '70s fight scene. Here's the Beavis and Butt-Head Do America trailer. And here's "Frog Baseball" the first Beavis and Butt-Head cartoon, when it was a simple underground animation like the others on Liquid Television. Finally, here's the first episode of Beavis and Butt-Head where they chopped up "Frog Baseball" and spliced in the scenes of Beavis and Butt-Head watching music videos and making fun of them.

 Now you're speaking my language! :) Excellent podcast. Although I remember liking this movie less than I had hoped to, it probably is due a revisiting, as you guys suggested. Of course, when I saw this in the theater, there was a long, depressing Sally Struthers/Christian Children's Fund commercial shown just before it. I think it was one of the first time I'd seen an actual commercial in a theater rather than a trailer and I remember thinking how it was totally not the thing to show before a COMEDY. it was liike at Mr. Burns' party when Homer had to do stand-up right after they announced that puppy got run over. "This must be settled the way nature intended....with a vicious, bloody fight!"  Oh, you guys were talking about the DVDs. Aside from the fact that there are certain episodes that Mike Judge simply will NOT release, a lot of the earlier episodes were censored permanently, removing all references to fire and other "illimitable" shenanigans. They literally cut the master tapes, so the only way you can ever see the early Beavis and Butthead material in its complete form is from people's VHS collections posted on YouTube. Truly one of modern animation's greatest tragedies.  I don't remember whether I talked about this, but I do remember that while Beavis says "fire! fire!" several times, he never once says "fire is cool!" Also, a kind of subtle joke at the end (or, well, subtle for "Beavis And Butthead" anyway.) When Bill Clinton is congratulating them at the end, he says "I'd like to extend my thanks to you both for serving your country". Except that there's a little emphasis at the last word, like "COUNT"ry. This is when Butthead says "huh-huh-huh, he said ...EXTEND." (This is the bit at the end of the trailer, except without the "country" part.) |

Beavis and Butt-Head has got to be one of the most misunderstood cartoons of all time. Often condemned for its material, I always thought it was genius in its subtlety. The funniest parts of the show were often the reactions of other characters to the boys. My favorites are the ones who are trying their best they can to ignore the boys, usually by quietly walking away.
When the ATF busts into the school and arrest Mr. Van Driessen, watch the guy who takes the guitar. He just starts disassembling and smashing it for no reason, plucking the strings out one by one. Hilarious stuff!
And of course, Robert Stack was at his best in this film. Funniest thing he's done since Airplane.
