The new beavis and butt-head sucks. Fucking lame shit mtv uses to promote the rest of it's pathetic line-up.

@Tombsmoker - Give it a chance. The new season's already started and you begin to critique on it now?? They already aired its first episode of the season.

I watched MTV last night just to see what it was like after not seeing it in ages......when our kids are being raised up on this garbage, it's no wonder our society is being destroyed. Instead of passing my comment off as preaching, just think about it for a couple of minutes.

@casestudyification - Hehh, the only good thing that MTV has done was bring back Beavis and Butthead.

Back when it was actually "MUSIC" television! Thanks for posting.

[voltaire2001]

3:49 that was always my favorite mtv bumper,animation and music is oh so 80's and oh so awesome.

@IpsumWrectum1 - I don't recall Beavis and Butt-head watching Mtv's reality tv back in the day. They watched MUSIC VIDEOS, something Mtv doesn't have anymore. I stand by my critique. The actual bits in between which focused on the characters were ok. Brought back some memories in fact. However I cannot sit through the 16 and Pregnant or other lame clips eMpTV airs on B&BH. So, I stand by my original statement.

I can now see a date when Mtv will end.
