They quickly become caught up in a fast moving plot involving murder and espionage which takes them across America with government agencies on their tail, climaxing in Washington DC. They quickly become upset and unsettled needing to set out in search of an alternative source.
The story starts when the boys discover that their beloved TV has been stolen. Intriguingly it was originally planned to be a live action movie which leads to the obvious question: who could actually play Beavis and Butt-head? It was co-written (with Joe Stillman and Brian Mulroney), directed and produced by Mike Judge. For example, it did not arrive in the UK until May of '97. It took a few more months before it was released in other countries.
It gained good reviews from movie goers and critics alike. It was up against some big movies of the time such as Titanic but managed to draw a decent sized audience. The duos first and (so far) only trip to the big screen was released in the winter of 1996. Judge also voiced several of these recurring characters such as Tom Anderson and Mr Van Driessen.Īt the height of the showâs success, B&B were somewhat synonymous with the MTV brand and as such were included in some bigger MTV events such as the VMAs, Thanksgiving shows and special segments during the Superbowl aptly entitled âButtbowlâ and allowed to interview the likes of Snoop Dog. More episodes allowed the show to expand to include more recurring characters and locations in the fictional US sub-urban town of Highland. The show, no doubt helped by the controversy and subsequent headlines, was proving very successful (particularly with young men) so much so that later in 1993 the team struggled to keep up with demand for new episodes. For example, as the title suggests, in Frog Baseball the boys play baseball with frogs with their bats hitting each other as well. A brief rundown of these are detailed below. It was one of the very few animated shows aimed at adults and from the very start, B&B were steeped in controversy thanks to some of the early episodes (though this would happen occasionally throughout the lifetime of the show) and as such there are about five episodes that will never be shown on TV again with several more heavily edited. These shorts caught the attention of more people than anticipated and MTV picked up the idea for a show. These were created by a Mike Judge (Judge) who also voices the duo. The two shows: Frog Baseball and Peace, Love & Understanding did not contain any music videos. Mike Judge Inception and Original Run (90's)ī&B originally started as two small segments in a separate program called Liquid Television in 1993.
