Beavis and Butt-head - The Mike Judge Collection, Vol .2

I remember the 90s very well. First analyzing movies, getting into music videos, growing up into the conservative person I am today. One of my fondest memories was hearing a pastor preach why "Beavis and His Friend" were horrible role models because "they burned things".But that was never the reason that Mike Judge's unbelievable idiotic creations were funny. Sure, the two losers can be hysterical in their clueless quests for money, fame, and sex --- which neither know what to do once they get any of those opportunities. But this show was funnier because of the adults' reactions to Beavis and Butthead's moronic behavior. Mike Judge's satire wasn't only about the youth culture, but also how blind older generations were to their own beliefs. These two losers are like Jay and Silent Bob - they're only as humorous as the world around them.Revisiting this show has been interesting. I thought VOLUME ONE was solid at best, but for different reasons than most. I never missed the music videos intermissions (in which Beavis and Butthead did MST3K-style commentary) or the "deleted footage" (which was supposedly just a few lines per episode). I would give VOLUME ONE 4 stars because it's funny, but not great. VOLUME TWO, on the other hand, is side-splitting from start to finish.There's no real secret to why VOLUME TWO is much better than the first collection of episodes. The video and audio quality are cleaner; I've read that's because most of these episodes are from the later seasons. There are gags and jokes that play off some of VOLUME ONE's episodes, and each of the "sequels" that I remember were even better than their predecessors. We get Part 2 of the "Taint of Greatness" documentary; this DVD marketting strategy doesn't bother me, because each part is detailed and interesting. The Extras include more music videos and a few other goodies. But the obvious reason why VOLUME TWO is better is just because the episodes are much funnier. The writing, voice-acting, time length, and finishes are simply excellent. Each episode starts strong, keeps momentum, and has a good payoff.Expecting this show to be released in the original season format complete with music videos is hoping George Lucas will give the original cuts of the STAR WARS trilogy a deluxe treatment. It Just Won't Happen! In the case of BEAVIS AND BUTTHEAD, there are too many licensing issues regarding the videos, plus Judge reportedly thinks some of the episodes are terrible.It's not as if BEAVIS AND BUTTHEAD has any running storyline or continuity to the characters. Other than the occasional reappearance of a character or running gag, you could watch these episodes in any order. A bad episode would always be a bad episode, and vice versa.I usually suggest you buy a TV DVD starting with the 1st Season, but with this show, you can make an exception. This is the rare show where you don't have to be a completist to enjoy it. VOLUME TWO of the Mike Judge's BEAVIS AND BUTTHEAD Collection is hilarious! If you want to revisit these characters but wanna avoid the roadblocks, you can pick up VOLUME TWO with no regrets. If you love it, then maybe purchase the other two volumes for the "Taint of Greatness" documentary...or the music videos...<SIGH>

I am not going to detail this as much as I usually do in these things, but here is what I generally think:+ Best of M.J. Collection in my opinion; classic episodes where Beavis worries he is pregnant, the boys get plastic surgery, help people rob Stewart's house, throw a party, change oil in the fryers, babysit, and so on... without giving anything away, one of those should jog your memory! If you like the stupidity of Beavis and Butthead while appreciating the depth in comedy this show offers outside of penis/sex/insulting jokes, then you will love this!+ Great DVD menus and configuration, as Music Videos are with other entertaining special features separate from the show. For me, this is a big plus, as I didn't always like when they would cut into the show when it was on MTV way back (though they are still pretty funny in their own rite!).+ Nice set with durable protective cases for each disc; well worth the low cost!+/- Depending on whether you love or hate Beavis and Butthead, this show is good at making (funny) jokes about how these boy stupidly misunderstand something which end up usually screwing someone else.- M.J. Collection is mostly episodes he found funny, and does leave some out (though they honestly did get the essential Beavis and Butthead in my opinion).- Annoying video menus - a feature on DVD's that is sort of cool, but I always just found annoying if I left it on more than 5 minutes after the feature finished playing.-- Overview --Beavis and Butthead was not a perfect show by any means, but it was that bad shows kids shouldn't watch before South Park came along, and unlike the misunderstood early nineties taboo that followed The Simpsons before South Park and Family Guy showed how tame that was, Beavis and Butthead is still bad! It is stupid as sin, and is actually boring outside of having some of the funniest dialogue and ridiculous situation comedic stints. But to me, before Aqua Teen Hunger Force came along, this was my favorite random vulgar animated comedy, and it still holds up as a favorite today (especially for being made by MTV)9/10 - If you like B&B, get it! If not, you probably aren't reading this. My only gripes lie with minor DVD issues common for the media in general at the time this was released. It is stupid, but brilliant in it's own asinine way...

This is the most hilarious show I’ve ever watched. I laugh hard during every episode. Seasons 2 and 3 are probably the best here but they’re all golden.

The package has many great cartoons, some of the videos with commentary from these two kids who are supposed to be stupid, but have an uncanny ability to discern videos that are cool, from those that suck. Everything Mike Judge does is better than you may think. One just has to pay attention. His commentaries on society in general, is pretty spot on. In his "Idiocracy" film, he may have described the future better than Arthur C. Clarke did in "2001: A Space Odyssey". I will be looking for volume four.

Watching B&B takes me back to college when all of us would pile into one dorm room to watch. I can’t believe it’s been 20 years…I have watched these DVD’s over and over… such awesomeness. Cornhoiio even makes an appearance in this set. I think the mindlessness of the show is what sucked me in. This is definitely a must have for anyone who was in college in the 1990’s and everyone else too.

Alles bestens kam heile an und läuft

Quante risate

super dvd merci

Some people complain that the music video segments are removed from the cartoon. I really don't understand them. When I was a kid, and even now as an adult, I'm only interested in seeing the cartoon portion of the show. It's wildly hilarious and entertaining. The music videos are on the third disc as extras. I watched a few and they're really bland. For the entirety of a Beastie Boys song, they were just commenting on someone related to the Beastie Boys. In another song, they just went on about poop for the whole song. Whoever thinks the music video commentary is the best part has no taste.

アメリカのサザエさんことシンプソンズはネタがよく練られてるな、と言う感じがする。対するこのB&Bは荒削りでやりたい放題である。現にシンプソンズの場合、何かの揶揄だったりパロディだったりと結構受けての側にその資質を問うような部分があるのだ。（まぁ元ネタが分かってなくても面白いけど。）一方のB&Bは直球である。見る側の資質を問わないビーバスとバッドヘッドは懐が深いのだ。BOX１では未だキャラが未完成の部分があったように思うが、本作ではキャラクターの立ち位置も確立している。何も考えずに腹が痛くなるまで笑えること請け合いです。あと小さいステッカーが二枚入ってて地味に嬉しい。
