Heh Heh Heh
Yes, I like Beavis and Butt-Head. They were true heroes for the Clinton Administration. But I'll never buy the versions of their TV shows that are on sale right now. Probably for licensing reasons, the videos don't include the best part of the TV shows - their commentaries on current videos.

Melinda Morrow has written an article on that very topic. Excerpts:

...This essay will address one of those overlooked questions: Why does MTV broadcast and support Beavis and Butt-head, a show which is often critical of the music videos that are MTV's bread and butter?...

...Story lines or social commentary are often totally lost on Be, avis [sic] and Butt-head, but do not necessarily interfere with a video's coolness provided enough hard rock elements are there. For example, the video for D.R.I.'s song "Acid Rain" creates a post-environmental-disaster world where people have inhalers and ponchos to protect themselves from the polluted atmosphere. Beavis and Butt-head don't care about that; they think the video is cool because the song is loud and the video shows people being beaten....

...There are two readings of Beavis and Butt-head that assume the show should be understood in terms of what it actually says. The first is what I call the Adolescent Male reading. It agrees that Beavis and Butthead's comments about videos are right on target. Heavy metal rocks, printed words suck, and Beavis and Butt-head are reproducing someone's real experience as a viewer of MTV....The second straight reading also assumes the show means what it says, but finds that meaning reprehensible. This view, which I call the Moral Majority reading, is characterized by its belief that Beavis and Butthead are corrupting the youth of America through their antisocial antics and bad language....

...Part of what gives Beavis and Butt-head's criticism its caustic power is the tension between Beavis and Butt-head's moronic antics and their sometimes perceptive commentary. They become idiot-savant critics of music videos, seeing and understanding what other critics ignore or bury in elaborate artistic pretensions....

...the videos that Beavis and Butt-head watch are not popular videos currently receiving airplay on MTV. The heavy metal videos, videos by obscure artists, or videos of unpopular songs may have their pretensions and inanities, but there is a limit to how far our estimation of them can fall. The show's critique of MTV has more in common with culling the weak members out of a herd than with subverting an art form. MTV has an interest in sacrificing the weak members because it needs to appear to make fun of itself in order to continue to be successful....
