However, stripped of juvenile wisecracks, the commentary ends up being about how much Beavis enjoys the music of BTS. In episode two, the pair watch a BTS video. In fairness, the occasional music video does crop up, but it’s clear that their hearts aren’t really in it. And, as with the original, the mockery is so gleeful that you find yourself cheering them on a little. They lay into a woman who makes ASMR (autonomous sensory meridian response videos). And so this version of Beavis and Butt-Head comes studded with segments where the pair watch viral videos about, say, making your own prison tattoos, and breezily mock the accent of the idiot telling the internet how to do it. Three decades ago, those people joined bands. The people who most urgently need deflating are pompous and preening and utterly self-regarding. And, in fairness to Judge, this makes a lot of sense. Without the material provided to them by self-regarding pop stars, what could Beavis and Butt-Head possibly mock in 2022? The music industry has entered such a state of stasis that the biggest hit of the summer is a 37-year-old Kate Bush song that was shown in a Netflix programme about a girl running away from a monster.

The age-jump also aligns with another recently released Paramount+ special, South Park: Post Covid, where the characters in Matt Stone and Trey Parker's infamous cartoon were thrust into the future and depicted as adults. Notably absent were the AC/DC and Metallica logos that adorned their clothes all those years ago.

Two black-and-white sketches accompanied the announcement, which suggested that the film's stars have aged in real-time since their '90s breakout. They need some time to get back in shape.' Judge, who is also the co-creator of animated standout King of the Hill, has pushed this momentum into 2022 with a tweet (see below) that says, ' Beavis and Butt-Head will be returning this year with a brand new movie and more on Paramount+. While news stalled on that front, Paramount+ released a video announcement last year, which confirmed a new Beavis and Butt-Head flick, the followup to 1996's Beavis and Butt-Head Do America.
