Mike Judge and Comedy Central are "reimagining" Beavis and Butt-Head for Gen Z

[FuckedUp]

A promo for the revival has been released.

Oh God, that's exactly the kind of stuff that should happen in the reboot.

In the original show, the world around them was kind of a gritty satirical view of reality; each of Mike Judge's works does this in their own unique style. The world in this show is going to be one of these two:

1. a typical Current Year self-righteous take where every liberal is portrayed as Daria was in the original show, and right-wingers get the predictable straman treatment
2. one that's actually legit satire and makes fun of both sides instead of being propaganda, like in those "leaked stills"

My gut instinct tells me it's going to be the former due to being Current Year + 5, but it seems like Mike Judge might have somewhat more integrity than the rest of the industry, like Scott Adams does. I have no idea at this point.

FUCK YES looks like it's actually going to be the latter.

Well now, that's better than I was expecting. It seems more in line with what the 2011 revival was; just put these characters in modern situations. And you know what, you can still wring a lot of comedy about that. I loved the episode where they worked as tech support.

Plus the trailer seems to be poking fun at people crying for stupid "representation" shit. Hell, the duo summed it up themselves; you don't watch them for representation, you watch because they're stupid.

Hmmmmm....not bad.

Didn't Mike Judge try to move B&B to Comedy Central immediately after the 2011 series was canceled? Weird that it took almost another decade but better late than never.

Reimagining = we need to make money and are completely out of ideas.

So...was that a deliberate mistake?

Well those two are too stupid to correct her anyways

I really liked the 2011 reboot and was saddened it was so short lived.

That one took the approach where it was then present day but they were still the same as they were in the 1990s, actually updating it I admit makes me kind of curious.

Mike Judge just does not strike me as someone who would go full "woke"

So rate me cautiously optimistic for this.

Has anyone looked at who he follows on Twitter. He follows a lot of conservative people like Ben Shapiro, Daily Wire, Steven Crowder , James Woods, Tucker Carson and Sean Hannity. I pretty sure he won't be going woke.

It occurred to me that it might have been verbatim a question asked to Mike Judge or one of the producers during whatever press events they held for the last Beavis and Butt-Head revival in 2011, back when "almost two decades" would have made sense.

Not verbatim, don't remember hearing "people of color" and "LGBTQ+" back then, and all the focus was on Millennials instead of Gen Z.

 

[Jason Wynn]

Hell yeah! Can't wait for the new episodes now. I knew Judge wouldn't cuck out.

Was that really an official promo or just something made by a fan?

That's what I've been wondering because I've seen absolutely nothing official about it. The dude who made it is also a woke as fuck if you check his twitter.

Weird.

Some woketards are self-aware?

 

[WonderWino]

Well, at least its beavis and butthead going full gen z and not king of the hill

The last thing the world needs is gen z king of the hill with e-thot connie, trooned out bobby doing a stand up act and boomhauer in jail for getting metoo'd

Yet they refuse to get help

Dammit, and here I was hoping this was the actual thing.

Huh, this'll probably play out like that one South Park season themed around PC culture.

Wonder which will be cancelled first, the show or Judge himself.

Mike Judge’s net worth is $75 million. He has fuck you money and enough loyalty from Gen X burnouts to have an army of them to push back if Comedy Central/Viacom fucks with him.
