In 1993, show creator Mike Judge and MTV launched Beavis and Butt-Head, an animated series about a couple of idiots that quickly became a pop culture phenomenon. While they spent most of their time sitting on a couch and making fun of MTV’s music videos, fans of the series totally ate it up. Now, the boys are making their triumphant return, unleashing their hilarious and biting commentary on today’s society, music and pop culture, and giving a whole new audience the chance to experience this duo of lunkheads.At the MTV portion of the Television Critics Association Summer Press Tour, Mike Judge (who also voices both characters) talked about why he decided to bring back Beavis and Butt-Head, and here are the most interesting points of the interview:
-There will be an episode where Beavis and Butt-Head work tech support, and an episode where they see Twilight and try to become undead

…..

Will be there any mention made of how long it’s been since we’ve last seen Beavis and Butt-Head?

JUDGE: We’ll try not to talk about how long it’s been. They never mentioned much time passing, back in the day either. The world is different now. People have cell phones and people watch stuff online, and we dealt with that a little bit. I didn’t want to force all this modern stuff on them. Only when it’s funny. There’s an episode where they work tech support, based on a lot of my phone calls with tech support. There’s an episode where they see Twilight, and all these girls are into vampires and vampires are sexy, so they try to become undead. We have stuff like that, that’s a little bit topical, but I didn’t want to make it too forced or anything. I wanted to make it still feel as seamless as I could, to what it was however many years ago.

Oh dear…I can already see the “Twilight” skit & Rob being thrown into the skit now.
