On Pavement:
Beavis: Rock, damn you, ROCK!!!
Butt-Head: It's, like, these guys could rock, but they're just too damn lazy.
Beavis: ROCKKKKK!!!!!!!

On some sucky synth-pop band:
Butt-Head: Look! A naked chick!!!
Beavis: Woah! And another and another!!!
Butt-Head: It's like they know how much this band sucked, so they just brought in all these naked chicks to make up for it.
Beavis: They did the right thing.

Usually very consistent with their tastes and just, damn, dead-on.
I trusted them more than any writer at Rolling Stone.
Damn I miss them!

Beavis: [gasp!] [gasp!] I think that the problem with this video is it is highly derivative of many popular bands within the genre. Although when viewed on its own merits, it does have a deeper groove. However what it has in groove it lacks in originality. One can't help but be reminded of such bands as Pearl Jam, White Zombie, Suicidal Tendancies and other bands that bear the mantle of so called "Alternative Rock". One is even reminded of Lorie Anderson when she wore curlers. Hehehmhm! This video speaks less to the heart and more to the sphincter. In closing, I think Korn would do well to learn more from -

(Butt-Head slaps him silly)

Beavis: Ahhhh!! Heh! Oww! Heh! Whoa! What happened?

Butt-Head: You got all dizzy and started talking like a dumbass.

Beavis: Whoa, really? Wow!

Does anyone here have those new collection dvd's?

Are they worth getting?

When I found out they only had a handful of music videos on the entire thing, I wasn't interested.

I saw Mike Judge in person after a screening of his (& Don Herzfeldt's) Animation Show. He was taking questions on general stuff, and he commented on how there may never be a complete collection of Beavis & Butthead released because of licensing issues with all of the videos. Apparently, MTV only leases them for a limited amount of time so they no longer have rights to a bunch of them.

I have the first volume, and I've only watched it once. The episodes are still funny and everything, but yeah, the videos need to be there. It was the best part of the show. I haven't been bothered to buy the other ones yet because of that.
