They ended up doing two Grim Reaper videos! They were the bete noire of the duo -- one started up and both Beavis and Butthead started screaming in pain.

God I miss this show

― James Blount (James Blount), Sunday, 13 April 2003 21:56 (twenty-one years ago) link

The funniest thing is that it envisions a world where these videos actually get played. Like one day you could randomly flip on MTV and there would be a Grim Reaper video playing!

― Mr. Diamond (diamond), Sunday, 13 April 2003 21:59 (twenty-one years ago) link

there was such a world once, mr. diamond. it was called "headbanger's ball," circa 1987 and pre-thrash metal (when grim reaper would have played thereon).

b&b also slammed FZ and "you are what you is," if memory serves me correctly.

another What Was That Video RFI: they watched some ghastly thing with thunderbolts, a little asian girl holding a flower, a guy who looked like Santana dipped in dork sauce, lots of goofy effects, five bands members walking down a hill, etc. etc. It was HORRIFICALLY cheesy.

Faith No More - "Epic"

― James Blount (James Blount), Sunday, 13 April 2003 22:06 (twenty-one years ago) link

ok, it was like that except everybody in it was a decade older.

― Anthony Miccio (Anthony Miccio), Sunday, 13 April 2003 22:07 (twenty-one years ago) link

i remember that one too! wasn't it someone from the Scorpions?

― Tad (llamasfur), Sunday, 13 April 2003 22:10 (twenty-one years ago) link

"dork sauce"????

― Evan (Evan), Sunday, 13 April 2003 22:42 (twenty-one years ago) link

Brewed from the finest dork essence.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Monday, 14 April 2003 00:56 (twenty-one years ago) link

Their commentary during "Funk Dat" was pretty hilarious.

― Vinnie (vprabhu), Monday, 14 April 2003 02:04 (twenty-one years ago) link

other favorite memories.

Bobby Brown's "Humpin' Around": the guys dance for a while, then note that the girl really WANTS IT.

Pavement's "Cut Your Hair": These guys are WHITE...and this is WHITE guy music. Beavis later comments that this video is trying too hard. In a really funny video the cat would have come out of his BUTT.

― Anthony Miccio (Anthony Miccio), Monday, 14 April 2003 02:13 (twenty-one years ago) link

I Hate Rock and Roll by the Jesus and Marychain was played, I cannot remember what they had to say about it.

One of my favorite things about that show was when albums were credited as Brownies And Lemonade. I find it hugely entertaining because when I was 15 I spent a few weeks hunting high and low for a really obscure JAMC EP called Brownies And Lemonade. To this day I have not been able to find that ep anywhere...

― Mike Taylor (mjt), Monday, 14 April 2003 02:18 (twenty-one years ago) link

and strangely enough, you can find exactly the same tracks on I Hate Rock n' Roll.

― Mike Taylor (mjt), Monday, 14 April 2003 02:19 (twenty-one years ago) link

I Hate Rock and Roll by the Jesus and Marychain was played, I cannot remember what they had to say about it.

Butthead keeps saying that JaMC is a cool name and Beavis thinks differently. I believe Butthead gets kicked in the nads.

― jm (jtm), Monday, 14 April 2003 03:48 (twenty-one years ago) link

as in...

"n-n-n-n-no way Butthead. That's not cool!"

...like it's sacreligous of something

― jm (jtm), Monday, 14 April 2003 03:49 (twenty-one years ago) link

This has nothing to do with the video commentary, but I have to say that the funniest B&B episode ever is the one where Beavis thinks that he's pregnant. I watched this again about 2 years ago and I was crying.

Bobby Brown's "Humpin' Around"

oh you mean everybody's humpin a hound.

Yngwie Malmsteen's "I'll See The Light Tonight." "SHUT UP! SHUT UP! YOU SUCK!"

― mike a (mike a), Monday, 14 April 2003 20:20 (twenty-one years ago) link

also: whatever Helium video was big at the time. "That chick's weird."

― mike a (mike a), Monday, 14 April 2003 20:20 (twenty-one years ago) link

Wow what a great thread idea and here's a suggestion for your compilation: Scatman.

― JP Albin (John Paul Albin), Monday, 14 April 2003 20:35 (twenty-one years ago) link

and also Ween's "Freedom of '76".

― JP Albin (John Paul Albin), Monday, 14 April 2003 20:37 (twenty-one years ago) link

Eddie Money's "Shakin'" is a hilarious video by itself, but having Beavis and Butthead note how cool it is that he can make that opening guitar sound with his mouth makes it even better.

― Anthony Miccio (Anthony Miccio), Monday, 14 April 2003 20:41 (twenty-one years ago) link

Their take on Beck's "Pay No Mind" as well...

that this show ever existed is proof that there was once a God Who loved us all

― Thomas Tallis (Tommy), Thursday, 6 July 2006 00:33 (seventeen years ago) link

Barry White, "Put Me in Your Mix": "This is, like, the horniest guy ever."

― Rickey Wright (Rrrickey), Thursday, 6 July 2006 00:59 (seventeen years ago) link

I was really sad that they stopped making new episodes *right before* they would've (hopefully) gotten to Coolio's "Too Hot." Victims of HIV in that one dissolve into dust. Hilariously cheesy, etc.

― Rickey Wright (Rrrickey), Thursday, 6 July 2006 01:01 (seventeen years ago) link

I'm partial to B&B's response to Winger's "Seventeen":

"These guys live on the edge"
"Yeah -- the edge of wuss cliff!"

― John Fredland (jfredland), Thursday, 6 July 2006 01:04 (seventeen years ago) link

b&b also slammed FZ and "you are what you is," if memory serves me correctly.

Yeah, they changed the channel and watched another video, then changed it back and said something like, "This crap is STILL on?"

what, no GWAR?

― chris andrews (fraew), Thursday, 6 July 2006 02:33 (seventeen years ago) link

Alice in Chains, "Man in a Box":

BH: "That dude has his eyes sewn shut!"
B: "Maybe he saw something really horrible. Like that Winger video."

― Rickey Wright (Rrrickey), Thursday, 6 July 2006 05:50 (seventeen years ago) link

Faith No More 'Easy':
'I know it sounds funny but I just can't stand the pain'
Butthead: That doesn't sound funny.

― Ruairi Wirewool (Ruairi Wirewool), Thursday, 6 July 2006 10:02 (seventeen years ago) link

Why did they cut the music videos out on the DVD/VHS releases?? Licensing??

One day I will get round to downloading them all off BitTorrent.

Yep, 'twas licensing/royalty issues which have kept many of the vids out of the DVD releases. But the boxes now being released (The Mike Judge Collection - vols. 1 and 2 already out, vol. 3 (final one) coming next month) each have 10-15 vids amended to them as special features (i.e. not in the context of the episodes). Madonna let 'em include "Secret" on this one. Good stuff.

― Thomas Inskeep (submeat), Thursday, 6 July 2006 16:06 (seventeen years ago) link

the beard episode...so classic

― latebloomer's napkin (latebloomer), Thursday, 6 July 2006 16:22 (seventeen years ago) link

Yeah, the beard episode is probably the hardest I've ever laughed at tv

Also, the time they watched Madonna's "Erotica" was hilarious

― rentboy (rentboy), Thursday, 6 July 2006 16:38 (seventeen years ago) link

i remember beavis hating on led zeppelin's 'over the hills and far away' and butthead telling him to be patient - "it gets cool later"

Watching Live, Butt-head decided that the video was supposed to freak him out, "but I'm totally unfreaked."

― introducing latebloomer, his dad itchy, and his son lumpy (latebloomer), Monday, 10 July 2006 09:02 (seventeen years ago) link

seriously, what would Beavis and Butthead be like if they made it now? How would they be different? What videos would they watch?

― dog latin (dog latin), Monday, 10 July 2006 11:03 (seventeen years ago) link

I love this thread, I LOVE it.

I am sort of scared that I remember each and every video mentioned on it (especially See You in Hell), and I have only two additions.

1. Keep their heads ringin' - Dre (Beavis: YEEAAAH! It's Dre, dropping plates on yo ass biotch!)

2. I Wanna Sex You Up - Color Me Badd (Butthead - Isn't this that group with Snow...and George Michael...and Kenny G? Beavis: Yeah, it's a super suck group.)

― Ash (ashbyman), Monday, 10 July 2006 14:07 (seventeen years ago) link

how would beavis and butthead respond to THIS, i wonder?!?

― Eisbär (Eisbaer), Saturday, 6 December 2008 12:16 (fifteen years ago) link

i seem to recall them discussing nirvana. fast chorus: 'this is cool'. slow verse: 'this sucks.'
pause. 'yeh, but without the bit that sucks, the cool bit wouldn't sound as cool'
just about nails them there

― Dr X O'Skeleton, Saturday, 6 December 2008 15:58 (fifteen years ago) link

On the Toadies Possum Kingdom:

Beavis: (gets excited) "Is that a body?! Do you think they killed somebody just to make this video?"
Butthead: "They should've killed the people who made it."

Ah. So the new B&B is like Tosh.0 with MTV show product placement.

I'll pass.

Dammit.

ffs wth is wrong with MTV? All they had to do was bring back B&B and have them doing the same dumb shit they used to do, only with current pop videos.

― Les centimètres énigmatiques (snoball), Monday, 21 February 2011 00:17 (thirteen years ago) link

or at least watching current pop videos on youtube but none of the twitter and jersey shore etc shite

My favourite bits of Beavis & Butthead 'commentary':

1. When 'Tomorrow' by Silverchair comes on and Beavis sings "MORE THAN A FEELING!" as the drums kick in.

2. Where Beavis hyperventilates himself and suddenly goes all Pitchfork Media during a video of 'Blind' by Korn.
