The movie was worth it just to see Beavis consider 'doing' a man.

Also: in Beavis and Butthead Daria was a lesbian. She wasn't in her own series. Discuss.

the thing that kind of pissed me off about "daria" is that daria herself was a pretty ridiculous character. i mean do YOU know anyone who never displays any emotion whatsoever and speaks in nothing but tart little bon mots? it felt a little too much like we were being asked to sit back and marvel at what a bright little non-conformist she was.

"oooh, she made a reference to john gardner! that's telling those cheerleaders!"

My friend Sara D. was Mike Judge's assistant for a couple of years. Had some interesting stories to tell. Not all of them flattering.

J.D., latebloomer, and Eisbar are OTM. Daria reeked of "alternative" attitude and tried too hard to be smart, B&B was stupid in a brilliant way.

I wish I could see more of Daria.

I have liked it, whenever I've seen it. I don't think it's on much, in England.

It was on T4 for a while, I though it was ironic scheduling.

Well, there weren't any gross diplays of inhumanity....just that he was a bit of a testy, paranoid, easily irritable guy.

I find "Beavis & Butthead" unfunny in the same way I found "All int the Family" unfunny -- sure it's accurate, but that's more depressing than funny.

It really pisses me off when people who haven't seen this show say it's not smart.

my voice was apparently a lot more monotone in college. my housemates often referred to me as the chain-smoking daria.

lauren (laurenp), Saturday, 25 September 2004 00:37 (nineteen years ago) link

i mean do YOU know anyone who never displays any emotion whatsoever and speaks in nothing but tart little bon mots?

Uh, sure I do! It isn't that she displays no emotion - it's there but done in a subtle way b/c masked most of the time. I thought it was pretty good at getting the way people are oblivious & think nothing bothers her.

And yet there's still no dvd of The Maxx. arghl

I've been watching Beavis & Butthead episodes gleaned from the net, complete with all of the videos, and I've been surprised by how hilarious they are. I think I remember my opinion veering between indifference and chagrin when the show was originally on. As a presentation of (as latebloomer so perfectly stated) 'low-key nihilism', it's akin to The Soup minus the witty banter, allowing us the option of laughing or weeping as the world goes down the terlet.

xx-post oh cool. all the episodes rebroadcast on the n were pretty heavily edited right?

I'm guessing you are all lost exploring Daria 420 in the multi-verse. I mean this astounds me, this is like crazier than the interlinking Star Trek multi-verses.

The universe created by Angelinhel as an entry in the PPMB thread IRON CHEF: Sic Transit Gloria Mundi. The universe details a world ravaged by a virus known as "The Sickness" which was released during the events of the movie, Beavis and Butt-Head Do America. The universe gets its designation because there were three bullets left in the gun mentioned in the beginning of the story.

Daria-217: The universe of "Misnomer," by Erin Mills. An alternate reality wherein the Lane family is slaughtered by a red cloaked, reality jumping Daria Morgendorffer who goes by the name Judith. The story was published on fanfiction.net on 2/17/06.

wtf

Daria-8: The universe of Smileyfax's Night of the Living Furniture. In the fic, the family of Tom Sloane pays the Morgendorffer family an eight-figure sum of money as compensation for his insane acts of brutality upon them.

What did he do? I am afraid to read the fanfic to find out what. It it hard to imagine Tom as a homicidal maniac.

thank you, internet, for making me hate Daria

her performance (ie, her pubes) stood out for me (HI DERE), Thursday, 9 July 2009 18:12 (fourteen years ago) link

Daria-309: A parallel universe created by Ranger Thorne that closely resembles D-320; in this reality, Robert Nelson and Jane Lane are Ringbearers, while Daria Morgendorffer has become a member of the Green Lantern Corps.

Of course.

I will never hate Daria, but I will continue to hate crazy internet people.

"What impasse?" Jane said. She felt lightheaded. No doubt it was due to the blood loss. Jane's legs felt drenched in it. SHe was trying to keep her anger up so that she didn't have to think about it and possibly throw up.

I hate it when my legs are drenched in blood loss.

It’s a strong likelihood the show’s pop soundtrack won’t make it to the DVDs – the very few releases so far have either replaced it with generic background music or nothing at all. It probably won’t matter to most, but I watched the series a lot on original broadcast and will always associate certain scenes with the music – Monaco’s “What Do You Want from Me” playing when Daria dressed up as Quinn, for example.

Duane Barry, Thursday, 9 July 2009 19:23 (fourteen years ago) link

This really ruined the 21 Jump Street dvd, Johnny Depp or no.

Detroit Metal City (Nicole), Thursday, 9 July 2009 19:31 (fourteen years ago) link

so:

- State on DVD this month
- Dario on DVD next year
- "MTV2 Legit" = one hour a week of Beavis & Butthead, the Max, Aeon Flux, the State, and old MTV bumpers

all I need to do is take a vow of celibacy and start a band, and I can officially regress to exactly what I did with my spare time in high school

nabisco, Thursday, 9 July 2009 19:33 (fourteen years ago) link

haha "dario"

nabisco, Thursday, 9 July 2009 19:33 (fourteen years ago) link

I even tivo'ed mtv2 legit, I feel so pathetic.

Detroit Metal City (Nicole), Thursday, 9 July 2009 19:34 (fourteen years ago) link

I did too, but it's sort of unsatisfying -- it's mostly Beavis & Butthead w/o the videos, which isn't that good; the Max and Aeon Flux stuff is cut up into tiny out-of-context bits that are just like general reminders of what they were like; and my enjoyment of 90s MTV programming does not extend to needing to have Coolio videos on my DVR

nabisco, Thursday, 9 July 2009 19:39 (fourteen years ago) link

they need to bring back Oddville

Yes, it was pretty disappointing -- it would be better if they expanded it, and included full episodes of B&B and Liquid Television. It's not like there's a lot of people flocking to MTV2 on Friday nights.

Detroit Metal City (Nicole), Thursday, 9 July 2009 20:10 (fourteen years ago) link

ten months pass...

So has anybody else got the Daria DVD set? The whole music issue hasn't turned out so bad - the replacement soundtrack captures the feel of the original, though in a couple of cases it jars (like in the "Everybody Hurts" video reference).

The extras are fun, but a bit scanty; there's barely anything to the cast interviews.

But it's great to have the entire series on top-quality DVD.
