Review: Mike Judge’s Beavis and Butt-Head “Weird Girl/Time Travelers”

Posted on by

Overview

“Weird Girl”

Beavis encounters a secret admirer at school named Gwyneth. It doesn’t take too long, but Gwyneth falls pretty hard for Beavis but he doesn’t ascertain all of the obvious hints that she is dropping. Beavis DOES love fire, but when Gwyneth uses fire to try and burn down the school, she gets arrested.

“Time Travelers”

Beavis and Butt-Head cross back and forth across the state line into the Mountain Time Zone and think they can travel through time but really they just disappear during a school trip.

Our Take

I’ll be honest, both of this week’s episodes were pretty atypical dumbassery by the titular heroes, which is fine, but it did make me miss the variety brought in by the Middle-Age variety Beavis and Butt-Head. I do like the introduction of Gwyneth and hope she can be a regular character because I think her fawning over Beavis is pretty comical and can make for some fun ideas later on down the line.

The funniest bit in this week’s episode is the boys’ savage commentary during the Jacob Sartorious video. Dear Lord, this week’s episode is getting a half-point increase in its final score thanks to the unrelenting roast that Jacob gets at the hands of Beavis and Butt-Head. I’ve never even heard of this kid, but I loved every bit of the beating that the dynamic duo laid upon him and would like to see more of this down the road.
