Beavis and Butt-Head is back in a complete series box set featuring (apparently) every episode, as well as the film, and music videos the titular duo are famous for critiquing. With every bit of the series included in this new box set, Beavis and Butt-Head fans will enjoy hours of content of the misfits.
Beavis & Butt-Head is an 1993 animated comedy series, it is produced by MTV Animation, and distributed by Paramount Television, it is currently available on DVD and Blu-Ray.
I’ve been a fan of a lot of Mike Judge’s creations, from classics such as Office Space, King of the Hill, and the aforementioned Beavis & Butt-Head to modern gems such as Silicon Valley, Judge’s unique comedic vision makes most of his works an instant cult classic. Now that Beavis & Butt-Head are here in a complete series set, one can only hope other projects of Mike Judge will follow suit.
THE GOOD: Back in the 90s TV was full of animated programming aimed at children, however a new trend was starting to grow by the end of the decade; animated programming for adults. Though not really that much of a new concept, the 90s put adult animation into overdrive with more subtle works such as Rocko’s Modern Life and Ren & Stimpy, to more colorful cartoons clearly meant for adults such as South Park and the aforementioned Beavis and Butt-Head. The comedic duo were at the forefront of animated programs responsible for this new surge in adult animation, and became cult favorites due to the titular characters being relatable, hilarious, and just plan old fun.
In this complete collection, all episodes from the original 1993-1997 run, as well as the short lived 2011 revival are here. Even the music videos and the film are included in the this hard to beat set. I’ve read that some content may be missing, but I haven’t really noticed it myself.
THE BAD: Unfortunately there’s no blu-ray version of this complete set, at least not yet.
OVERALL THOUGHTS: Beavis and Butt-Head’s entire journey into adulthood is finally available for all to enjoy. A foundation of Mike Judge’s brilliance as an animator, Beavis and Butt-Head are one of the few pinnacles that jump started modern adult animation. No Blu-Ray version of this set is a bit of a bummer however. Otaku Dome gives Beavis and Butt-Head the Complete Collection a 86 out of 100.
