628. Beavis & Butthead Do America (1996)

*The Warlock opens the door to his lair. He’s wearing an AC/DC t-shirt and red shorts. He’s not holding a drink*

W: Uh, uh huh huh huh, like, welcome to my lair and stuff. Uh huh huh huh come on in dumbass, uh huh huh huh.

*Warlock walks inside*

W: Uh huh huh huh so like, tomorrow the new Beavis and Butthead movie is coming out, uh huh huh huh so I figured we should…watch the first movie…or something uh huh huh huh.

*Neyzor Blades is in the recliner wearing standard attire*

N: Will you cut that out?

W: *switched voice pitches* Yeah, hmmm hmmm heh, hey how’s it going? Hmm hmm heh, this is is gonna be cool, hmmm hmm heh.

N: Stop it!

W: *Back to normal* Okay, okay okay……tomorrow the new Beavis and Butthead movie comes out so today, Neyzor Blades and I are catching the first and only movie they have done before. Back in 1996 at the height of their popularity, Mike Judge brought his iconic cartoon duo to the big screen. For those too young to remember, Beavis and Butthead were two teenaged dumbasses that caused mayhem and entertained people for most of the 90’s. The show ran from 1993 to 1998 but really hit their peak in the mid 90’s. In 1996, BEAVIS & BUTTHEAD DO AMERICA was released to the public. Featuring Bruce Willis and Demi Moore, Do America extended what was usually two 6 minute cartoons, two music videos and commercials into an 82 minute feature length film.

*Warlock takes his seat in the middle of the couch*

W: I’ve probably seen BEAVIS & BUTTHEAD DO AMERICA 15 times since I saw it as a kid and the movie poster used to hang in my room for years. It gets funnier every time I see it so I’m not even going to bother asking if its good or holds up. This is going to be a fun ride back to 1996 so grab your popcorn, grab your drink and grab your woman because its time for BEAVIS AND BUTTHEAD DO AMERICA.
