Beavis and Butthead Do The Universe + New Series - Dumbest/Best Science Fiction Movie Ever

Fifteen minutes in, and this is already fucking awesome.

Did you enjoy the cheap and crappy Rick and Morty "puppet" animation too? Even the 2011 reboot got that right by not trying to go with near flash levels of movement.

I know the original show never had the best animation but at least it wasn't like someone dragged a character with their mouse across a computer screen rather than half individual frames to give it more impact.

Well, I finally caved and subscribed to a streaming service. I guess we'll see if I keep it after the movie.

Edit: Definitely not. Holy shit, there's fucking nothing to watch on this service.

You got SpongeBob and a whole bunch of other classic Viacom shows and movies. What more do you want??

It was pretty good! Funniest parts were all at the beginning, and the film slows down somewhat by the time they make it to 2022. They surprisingly didn't overdo the "wow its the future" thing, and even the cellphone parts were used well. There was even some exposition by the time they make it back to their home:
Their house was Beavis' mother's house all along, and her name is Shirley Beavis. A woman delivers exposition while being interrupted by Beavis & Butthead playing with a loud trash compactor, obfuscating most of it. They don't mention our Beavis' first name

So that's neat. There was also a whole scene where they make fun of white privilege, and it's very based. It's not as classic as Do America, but it's very good, and I'm giving it an 8/10.

Nothing but dick jokes, and I loved every second of it. The recent South Park movies have been mediocre at best, but Mike Judge has still got it. One of my favourite parts was at the end when
Smart Beavis and Smart Butt-head are at the ceremony, and get presented with the "I scored," and "I watched," medals, respectively
And the college campus scene was 10/10

4/10 for it being an unnecessary reboot that didn't need to be made and for it's bad animation. 2011 was probably the best time for a revival unfortunately MTV despite being formally called music television rather have shows about 16 year olds getting knocked up or a bunch of Italian whores from the East Coast screw each other in all directions instead of what the channel is called formerly: Music Content.

Other than this, Paramount plus is a repository of Nickelodeon shows including all those Dan Schneider foot fetishteen comedies and the entire run of Two and a half men which shows constantly on my Sinclair owned over the air station anyways.

It was overwhelmingly okay. The White Privilege bit was good. Huge, colossal, epic missed opportunity when they go to 2022 but NEVER MEET UP WITH VANDREESON, STEWART, MCVICKER, TODD, AND DARIA. All of those characters except Todd are seen in the 1998 opening, Vandreeson is voiced for like 2 seconds, but what a missed opportunity. I was waiting for that moment not out of memberberries but that would be genuinely interesting to see what happened to these characters. Just have one cutaway gag showing Daria being a college professor or politician or something. FFS, the jokes write themselves. WTF, Mike Judge?

Otherwise, it's just okay. Not bad. Not great. Passable.

Edit: we do see Todd but it's in a dream sequence and it's not set in 2022. So, in my eyes it doesn't count.

After South Park, Simpsons, pretty much any long ass running animated sitcom went straight to the fucking ground it's just a fucking breath of fresh air and Mike Judge made a decent little B&B movie. It was far better in my eyes than the Reboot Season that just made the duo feel dated.

It's still a damn far cry from Do America which is arguably the best film adaptation of a TV Show. It was really jarring how all the new characters didn't match the designs of Judge's old art style. The governor and her sidekick just didn't have much if any charm to them.

Fingers crossed that the new Paramount season will improve upon this movie. Because the simple humor is timeless.

Oh, I liked the reboot season. That's one of my favorite seasons. I'm weird about Do America, aside from some gags it didn't do a lot for me. South Park Movie > Do America.

I am not optimistic about the new seasons on Paramount+.

When it was on point it was great. Every scene at space camp where they practiced the piston was more hilarious than it had any right to be. My other favorite scene was

The prisoners doing wheelies after stealing the governor's car.

The new characters for the movie are really boring though, they feel more one note than our two idiots. Future B&B only made me laugh at the very end when they got their medals. Also surprised we never saw at least 1 comment on modern music. 6/10, would've been higher if it didn't feel like a worse Do America at times.

I did forget about the South Park Movie which is the GOAT, as well as Star Trek 2 Wrath of Khan. It's pretty surprising how rare proper (same cast & creative team) tv to film adaptations actually happen. On the top of my head and not a ranking:

1. Beavis and Butthead Do America
2. South Park: Bigger, Longer, and Uncut
3. Star Trek films
4. X-Files: Fight The Future
5. Batman Mask of the Phantasm
6. Bob's Burgers: Happened 5 years too late
7. The Simpsons; Happened 10 years too late

But yeah I adore Do America, I love how serious the plot is taken with Demi Moore and Bruce Willis giving great VAs. And Robert Stack is so good as the government agent whose only real running joke is his obsession with cavity searches. Do America in my eyes works so incredibly well because the Political Thriller plays itself quite straight. So when the story goes back to Beavis and Butthead I just am ready to laugh at their stupidity. It also helps that Mike Judge directed a pretty beautiful movie with great sequences. I love how it brutally mocks Vegas in this sequence, just a dumpy tribute band playing to an empty audience while a bunch of old people gamble away their savings mindlessly. And of course B&B are enamoured with a big tittied statue.

To me Do America is just how you do a Buddy Road Trip movie. It's Mike Judges satire at his highest, it's sharp mockery of America but Mike Judge never betrays how clearly he loves this nation.

But anyway Do The Universe's plot kinda slumps for me because it never pretends to the viewer that it's anything more than a silly movie. The Smart Beavis and Butthead scenes kinda fall flat for me after their first appearance, honestly think they could have had the other incarnations of B&B interact with our heroes. And yes as you noted huge missed opportunity to not have them meet their old friends, like a middle aged Daria could have easily been at the college. We could have seen an elderly Van Driesen lose his shit that his two worst students are back in his life and virtually unchanged since he last saw them.

But as I said before it's just good to see them again. I was a little harsh earlier about the reboot season I just think the new music video segments for that season kinda sucked.

Still at the end of the day one virtue Mike Judge has is that he never Flanderizers his characters. These are the same Beavis and Butthead that would play Frog Baseball.

I just hope they paid Judge enough money to devout his full time to Beavis and Butthead. Please don't reboot King of the Hill, it'll never be the same without Brittany Murphy. And swear to God I'll burst a blood vessal if Hank is anything beyond a moderate Republican and Dale Gribble is an Alex Jones nutcase.

Edit: At the end of Do America Beavis asks Butthead if he ever thinks the two will ever score. Butthead of course says he will but Beavis won't. It's a sweet way to tie the two movies together that Smart Beavis actually scored. I hope that at the true final ending the great duo finally do score.
