Ellmeister Posted January 15, 2008 Posted January 15, 2008 it's a shit tv show which is not funny..neither is the movie.. it's about as funny as king of the hill...... Seconded. I know who they are I just don't find it funny either.
Sheikah Posted January 15, 2008 Posted January 15, 2008 King of the Hill and Beavis and Butthead are really bad shows. Awful, awful stuff that I can't force myself to watch. Beavis and Butthead actually makes me cringe.

Jimbob Posted January 15, 2008 Posted January 15, 2008 Beavis and Butthead. Don't get me started on how cruddy the TV series was, no laughs what-so-ever for me. Movies had one or two giggles but that was it really.
jayseven Posted January 15, 2008 Posted January 15, 2008 I'd only ever watched it when I was high, and to be honest it's fairly good 3am tv for giggles. I remember next to nothing about it, mind.
Portlett Posted January 15, 2008 Posted January 15, 2008 I loved the film and the Chili Peppers cover is awesome!
kyletherobot Posted January 16, 2008 Posted January 16, 2008 i love both beavis & butthead and king of the hill. i own all of whats available of them both on dvd.
Sheikah Posted January 16, 2008 Posted January 16, 2008 Could be worse, could be family guy. Then it would be a lot better.
mcj metroid Posted January 16, 2008 Posted January 16, 2008 Then it would be a lot better. family gy youd get a laugh out of now and then.. its the type of thing i'd watch but never buy on dvd... like simpsons.. i like a decent storyline in my comdeys like futurama:)
Sheikah Posted January 16, 2008 Posted January 16, 2008 Family Guy just focuses on delivering gags relating to real life really. Some of the execution is brilliant. When I'm watching comedy cartoons the story never really bothers me, in fact real life piss takes (Tom Cruise in South Park for instance) seem to make me smile the most.
RoadKill Posted January 16, 2008 Posted January 16, 2008 it's a shit tv show which is not funny..neither is the movie.. it's about as funny as king of the hill...... This is all true Could be worse, could be family guy. Family Guy is pretty good, American Dad is even better
Ellmeister Posted January 16, 2008 Posted January 16, 2008 Family guy makes me laugh out loud more than simpsons and futurama but the storyline makes no sense. I think its pretty great now, but thought I'd watch American Dad because it seemed similar. But I can't stand it :|
BlueStar Posted January 16, 2008 Posted January 16, 2008 What makes me feel old is that as of two weeks ago there are people born in the 90s who can legally drink. The 90s!!!
Jav_NE Posted January 16, 2008 Posted January 16, 2008 American Dad is better than Familly Guy. And there are some great episodes of Beavis & Butthead, though granted the majority of them were shocking, but i have fond memories of a few. The movie was hilarious as well.

Mokong Posted January 17, 2008 Posted January 17, 2008 Beavis and Butthead, man those were the days, I still remember going to the cinema with a mate to see the film.
weeyellowbloke Posted January 17, 2008 Posted January 17, 2008 What makes me feel old is that as of two weeks ago there are people born in the 90s who can legally drink. The 90s!!! That fact frankly terrifies me. I think the moment that made me feel the oldest was when I was talking to my neighbours kid who is about 8 and she had not a clue who MC Hammer was. I went home a cried into a pair of parachute pants while listening to "You Can't Touch This" and mourning my steady downhill decline toward the grave.
Wesley Posted January 17, 2008 Posted January 17, 2008 I was thinking about my a baby who was born last year, I thought about the year, 07. And then thought, wait... that's nearly 20 years after mine... I'm growing up.
Jamba Posted January 17, 2008 Posted January 17, 2008 Beavis and Butthead have the same problem as South Park is that the essence of the comedy is satirical (sp?). It creates 2 audience by accident, the first who understand the satire and laugh because the 2 guys remind them of their stoner friends and the growing drop-out culture of the early 90s (while occasionally getting a giggle out of the stupid stuff). The second is the group that actually find the fart jokes, the "i'd fuck your mum" jokes and so on funny and that's all that they get out of the show. They worry me... Strangely though, it makes this massive void somewhere between those 2 audiences that find it not funny at all. Most people wouldn't do nowadays because the subject matter isn't relevant.

Most people wouldn't do nowadays because the subject matter isn't relevant. Strangely? You mean people who aren't immature and like some well thought jokes, not a couple of idiots sniggering in a daft way at stuff? Sorry but that's surely most people in that void.
BeerMonkey Posted January 17, 2008 Posted January 17, 2008 beavis and buthead is crap. King of the hill is even more bad
Jamba Posted January 17, 2008 Posted January 17, 2008 Strangely? You mean people who aren't immature and like some well thought jokes, not a couple of idiots sniggering in a daft way at stuff? Sorry but that's surely most people in that void. Strange in the fact that the audience is cleaved in two. There are few forms of comdey that do something similar. Only one I can think of is the dual-comdedic-reality that make things like the Simpsons or Shrek where there are jokes for kids and jokes for (certain types of) adults. You've also illustrated my point about people not getting the satire.
Sheikah Posted January 17, 2008 Posted January 17, 2008 You said that the 2 audiences were: 1- people who got the satire but laughed because it reminded them of their stoner mates in the 90's and 2. people who laughed at the immature gags. I don't have any stoner mates, and I'm not an idiot. So I guess I have no reason to laugh.
Jamba Posted January 17, 2008 Posted January 17, 2008 Exaclty, you've proven the reason why some people don't get the satire. Sorry if I was making it sound like you weren't getting it because you were thick or anything. It's just irrelevant. In a similar way many South Park episodes are no where near as funny as when they first came out because they have to remember what global events were going on at the time, rather than on first watch when it is instantly relevant. And blah....
