Beavis and Butt-Head Do the Universe

I am a huge fan of the original series and Do America and the follow up and I think this really carries on the same spirit of irony and stupidity. The visuals look a little different and it took a moment for me to adjust but the story and energy is every bit the same. This is a great update and it was entertaining.

Nobody goes into this movie expecting much in the realm of intellectual enlightenment, and proudly this movie delivers. The general theme is similar to "Beavis and Butthead Do America," in that the two idiots end up on an adventure that they are too stupid to understand. Nevertheless the gags and situations are pretty darn funny, and Mike Judge has done a good job of bringing the humor into a modern context.

This time around the duo are a bit more intelligent than they were back in the day (not by much). Their vocabulary is a bit more advanced as is their critical thinking. Beavis even shows a few signs of personal growth. Also a tad bit is revealed regarding family and personal history.

All told this movie does the franchise justice. If you were dumb enough to enjoy the classic series, you will be happy to see this new addition to their moronic exploits.

As other people have written, unlike many modern reboots and sequels, it's like a time portal to the '90s because Mike Judge changed nothing. I have rarely laughed as much at a comedy from the last couple of decades during this movie's first half. It lags a bit in the second half, but even during those mundane moments I was pleased to waste time with my favorite morons.

I was 15 when I discovered them on Liquid TV when they were 15, so it was... haunting... to see Judge's representation of them as they would appear as my age today. It was brief, yet haunting. But decades of idiotic living would truly cause that appearance. It's "the faces of meth" without the meth, I guess.

Great job, Mike Judge.

I'm very happy about this. It's toilet, juvenile humor and I was cracking up for the majority of this movie.

If you liked the show or Beavis and Butthead do America than you are in for a treat.

Twenty-six years since their last foray onto the big screen, woefully inept, single-minded nitwits Beavis & Butt-Head, two sides of the same coin, still don't have a learning curve and yet somehow manage to end up in space camp where their buffoonery is mistaken as an asset to an important space mission...which of course then leads to disastrous results. The duo's double entendre and off-color humor which was right at home in the 90s is sure to be curtailed in this day and age, yet that doesn't stop this from being an enjoyably goofy (and occasionally clever) showing. Give credit where credit is due, as co-writer and creator Mike Judge astutely zeroes in on the workforce, intercourse, toxic masculinity, plus incarceration, white privilege, and multiverses, in fact hardly anything is spared from parody but it's all done in a way that's both edgy and funny, and without being totally offensive. Doesn't break any new ground though there are plenty of chuckles throughout, though it's likely to be viewed as inconsequential to someone who isn't a fan of the source material. **½
