Beavis and Butthead

I was a teenager when Beavis and Butthead first aired on Liquid Television back in the day when MTV still played music, occasionally and just about every day I'd get out of school, deliver my papers and then I'd normally get home in time to watch Beavis and Butthead. That was a great way to end a day of school and my paper route.

Alright, I'll admit that they are crude and just a little bit vile, but as a teenager crude and a little bit vile is just alright if you know what I mean. The truth is the show is funny, maybe not in a way that everyone can appreciate, but still it's funny.

I remember one of the controversies about this show. For the first season or two, Beavis was a true pyromaniac with a total preoccupation with fire. He would occasionally just yell out "Fire! Fire! Fire!" and would then talk about lighting something on fire. Some stupid kids emulated Beavis and actually started some fires and hurting themselves, but I really blame the parents for letting young children (like five) watch something that is meant for teenagers who get the jokes. In later seasons they replaced this with words that rhymed, like "Liar!".

Probably the greatest plotline was the whole Cornholio alter-ego of Beavis. Whenever Beavis got over caffienated and started getting his buzz on, he'd pull his shirt up over his head, raise his hands up by his face and assume his Cornholio persona. "I am the great Cornholio, I need tp for my bunghole." Priceless.
