This show is responsible for exposing an entire generation to a lot of good music.

It was easily the most important show for music of the 1990's. There was shit on there that 120 minutes wouldn't even play. And here it was for our enjoyment in prime time.

Not Crap.

Oh yeah.. and it was fucking hilarious too.

I laughed out loud just reading that and remembering the episode. A total pants-shitter.

NOT CRAP, hold the waffles

Hey, thanks for this. Hopefully some people seed it so it doesn't take me another 11 days to finish the download, but I'm stoked!

Similar to this episode and also hilarious is the one where Beavis has a nose bleed and they can't figure out how to stop it:

One thing from this show that stuck in my memory and I still do to this day is when Beavis gets on the sofa and starts doing pelvic thrusts to the music. Butthead says "Get down" and he replies "I am getting down".

So good.

Beavis and Butthead is actually some amusing social commentary of small-town youth who fall by the wayside. A lot of Mike Judge's humor is funny because it is so true to life. Most people have met someone like Beavis or Butthead in their life before.

You laugh at the show because they are dumbasses. They are losers that are harmless to make fun of, because it is merely a cartoon show. On the other hand, if you watch Beavis and Butthead because you actually idolize them, you are an even bigger dumbass they the characters.

They are meant to be laughed at, not with. Hahaha.

I picked up all three volumes of the Mike Judge Collection over the last week, and it just reaffirms my vote. Great show, if not always funny, but few greats hit 100% of the time.

That "Woodshop" episode is positively disgusting and amazingly compelling television.

i had mixed feelings on the show, but one thing i LOVED:

they're watching nine inch nails "march of the pigs",. the drummer has headphones on and while he's playing the opening beat, one of them says "WOAH! what's he listening to?" and the other says "Probably Pantera!"

NOT CRAP

A special mention for the bit where, after watching some thrash guitar, the used the immortal line:

"Woah. If I could move my hand that fast, I'd never leave the house!"
