REVIEWING THE NEWS: REVIEWniverse has exclusive info about the possible return of Beavis and Butt-Head
By Kenny Herzog
Woah, Butt-Head is weirdly buff.
REVIEWniverse has exclusively learned from an anonymous source that Mike Judge is currently outlining 30 new episodes of his iconic animated comedy Beavis and Butt-Head for its native network.
The source conceded that plans for actual broadcast are not yet cemented, or even a given, but confirmed that the King of the Hill/Office Space/Idiocracy maestro is definitely in the midst of writing new B and B material with the hopes of a full-throttle return.
Even better news for fans is that, should this come to pass, Judge plans on retaining the show's original ghetto-tech aesthetic, right down to the faded color palatte. The source also reveals that the Extract director intends on keeping B and B's format identical to its original sketch-videos-sketch incarnation, but with more contemporary music clips for the cartoon slacker-duo to skewer.
And of course, this being the viral age, Judge could always just unveil the finished installments on his own website or through a high-profile online partner should MTV be crazy enough to hesitate making room in its primetime schedule.
In case you forgot how actually, truly funny Beavis and Butt-Head was amidst all that ancient, controversial history:
IN OTHER WORDS: A perfectly timed resurrection for a show that, like few others of its generation, has not only remained ageless, but proven increasingly spot-on in its satire.
HUH-HUH, HUH-HUH RATING: Yes!/10
GOOD THING THE GOODE FAMILY DIDN'T PAN OUT RATING: Mike Judge Is The Great Cornholio!/10
UPDATE: IN CASE YOU THOUGHT WE JESTED, THE NEW YORK POST HAS VERIFIED OUR EXCLUSIVE.

yeah man, it´s great return to mtv. good things to this generation. Cornholio
Tell me about it. Spread the word and keep the B & B love going so MTV makes sure this becomes a reality!
I'm not sure how a show from the early 90s about two retarded white suburban metalhead teenagers snickering incessantly over toilet humor will resonate with mainstream audiences 20 years after its prime, and long after MTV (and television in general) descended into total irrelevance.
For one, their AC/DC and Metallica T-shirts are now only relevant in an ironic sense. I also like to believe that today's culture has developed a more sophisticated sense of humor beyond dick and poop jokes (but then again, it seems MTV is targeting the tween crowd these days, so who knows). Plus there's that whole Internet thing that happened after the show ended. Where do they even begin in trying to bring this material up to date?
every generation has 'dick and poop' jokes. if you think yours is particularly 'enlightened' you're dreaming. also, the faux intellectualism you're projecting is one of the stereotypes this show loved to make fun of. too bad that's still in style, eh?
Get off your high horse man. If you can't appreciate a fucking dick or poop joke you're missing out on the real beauty in life.
Your a douche
Are you threatening me?
When should we expect to see them on tv?
It's about time mike brings these guys back. I loved them growing up, and I'm defintly down for some nostalgia.
Nobody, I doubt you even watched the show, and complaining about the toilet humour? uhh look at all the unfunny anmated shows today family guy, american dad, cleveland show and south park after it went down the gutter. And you sound like a 12 year old, ''hey bro metallica and acdc suck BRO coz they're old'' let's listen to shadows fall and as I lay dying maan. And trust me back in the day it wasn't tweens that were watching the show, actually theres a helluva lot of muscians who watched it if that means anything, then again they might not be up to your superior taste.
and what's with the ''white suburban metalhead'' you sound like some weenie undermining whites because you're so raciallly diverse and open bro. you'd probably crap yourself if you said they were black in fear of somehow being labeled a racist.
go back to college.
I'm a high school teacher and tell you one thing is certain...Metallica and ACDC are very relevent to today's teens and poop and dick jokes are just as popular as ever.

I teach Junior High...you would be amazed how many kids still listen to classic rock...there are kids with ACDC and Metallica shirts in my room every day. (Not to mention the Beatles). Besides, it's not the tee shirts the kids care about. It's the stupid humor. I think this show would highly entertain todays kids...just like it did when
I was in Jr. High. At least it's not "reality" TV

This is great news! I loved this show when I was in high school. I agree with some of the other posters, I hope they keep it similar to its roots and don't change it a ton.
You guys are right, I'm just angry because I tried to have sex with this fat chick and my dick was so small she couldn't feel it. Long story short she threw me out on the street naked and humiliated. Sorry Beavis and Butthead is awesome and I love poop and dick humor. Hell I love poop so much that I eat it!
this is not 'exclusive'. it was reported by the Onion's AV Club & other news outlets before you did it.
please have todd!! please please bring back todd!!!
IF THIS IS NOT TRUE I AM GOING TO KILL YOU
Hahhaah. A vengeful god, eh?.... Stay tuned for a story about another long-lost MTV animated comedy that needs a revival...
This news just made my day!

Mtv is retarded if they don't put the boys back on their lineup....too much reality b.s.....I'm almost 40 years old and I still love them!!!!
I'd be willing to watch it again.
I wonder if he'll write Hank Hill into the scripts?
I would love to see these two land in Arlington and corrupt Bobby.
Hehehehehehe.

Hey guys,
Don't forget to check out the refreshed REVIEWniverse home page for a related story about a certain other beloved mtv animated comedy....
Thanks for reading,

FYI - Netflix has tons of B&B stuff for instant streaming. Unfortunately, no music videos...damn licensing.
I hate MTV, he needs to go Adult Swim!!!!
YAY !
I love Beavis and Butthead !
I also wish it was going to be on Adult Swim. Im tired of Seth Green's play-doh skits.
I prayed for this!
'Woah' is not a word. It's 'whoa.'
Not if you ask my ultimate grammatical resource, the urban dictionary...
Great news!
I'm excited about the Return of the Originals B&B. I can't wait to see what's in store for us all! I love you and your work Mike Judge! You have been a HUGE part of my life since I was a teenager! Thanks for the laughs!
Sincerely,
Justin H.
Another thought... I am devastated about King of the Hill being canceled. I wish you would take a break with this B&B thing then regroup to do more King of the Hill. It would give me something to look forward to the rest of my life! I got through some rough times watching your show. Thanks.
Justin H.
Why did you write it like Mike Judge himself is reading it?
Mike if you actually read these... hit me back... I'm your biggest fan and I have a lot of cool ideas for future KoTH episodes. Thanks.

Dammit guys. Don't make a whole damn article if your only source is an anonymous one.
This has the reputability of a high school rumour.
Thats bad ass!
