Mike Judge still sees Beavis and Butt-Head as the magnum opus of his career

Though Mike Judge went on to make the cabin-dweller masterpiece "Office Space" and the prophetic, depressing "Idiocracy," his heart lay with Beavis and Butt-Head . As he told Vulture:

"It's probably my favorite thing I've ever done. I mean, not everything is good. We've done a few so quickly. But the stuff that's good comes back to me with emotion and I really love them. I got my foot in the door because of that, so it led to everything. For that reason alone, I still love him."

For years young viewers may have been baffled by Gen X's fondness for confused guys, but maybe they'll understand now that Paramount+ has secured the rights to all the music videos commented on by the duo during their '90s heyday. From their headbanging love of The Ramones' "I Wanna Be Sedated" to their sly slam of Ted Nugent's "Heads Will Roll" ("Hey, that's that dude from Damn Yankees"), Beavis and Butt-Head told their network star the truth - return the power. They played favorites and shredded setters.

And hardly anyone will remember that they debuted as frog-killing monsters. It's the MTV-era equivalent of Jack Benny realizing that Rochester was the master (à la Wodehouse's Jeeves) and not the servant.
