Beavis And Butt-Head Doing It On Big Screen

Beavis and Butt-head are leading Western civilization to a bad end, you say? Can’t take any more childish jokes about bodily functions or “getting some?” Worried that the country’s budding pyromaniacs now have a poster boy?

Brace yourself. It’s about to get worse.

Here comes a full-frontal (heh-heh-heh) assault on all the sensibilities Americans hold dear: “Beavis and Butt-head Do America,” a feature-length movie by Mike Judge, the former physicist whose fertile brain spawned MTV’s two unholy pubescents.

In the film, the hormonally addled teens race across the highways and byways of America in search of their stolen television… and maybe a chance to lose their virginity.

Part “Thelma and Louise,” part “Red Rock West,” with a twist of “The Three Stooges” and Wayne and Garth thrown in, the film is a virtual scatalog’s catalog.

We asked the dimensionally challenged pair to sit down for a chat and answer five questions about what it’s like to be Big Movie Stars. They thought it was cool.

And to those who say MTV has corrupted the attention spans of an entire generation, here’s more evidence: So distracted were Beavis and Butt-head that they wandered off after answering only four.

What dillweeds.

1. What’s the best freebie that you’ve gotten from Paramount or others in Hollywood in connection with this film?

Butt-head: Well, uh… when we were shooting the movie, there was this guy, Jorge, who would …

Beavis: Heh-heh-heh, you said Jorge.

Butt-head: That was his name… Jorge would give us all the free food we wanted, like doughnuts and nachos and stuff. That ruled!

Beavis: Well, um, one time we got free tickets to a movie at this big Chinese theater in Hollywood. Only it wasn’t a Chinese movie, it was in American. And it starred these two dorks with the same names as us.

Butt-head: Beavis, that wasn’t a movie. That was our premiere. Everybody got free tickets. That way they had to stay and watch it whether they liked it or not.

2. What’s the biggest bummer about being animated?

Butt-head: The director never draws us scoring with a chick, huh-huh-huh.

3. Who did you draw inspiration from in your roles?

Butt-head: We don’t draw.

Beavis: Yeah really. If I could draw, I would draw a chick… Then I’d draw myself making out with her.

Butt-head: Huh-huh-huh. That would rule!

4. How do you feel about the socio-economic problems of Eastern Europe in light of the fall of communism?

Butt-head: Uh… uh.

Beavis: Um… uh.

Butt-head: Uh… huh-huh, you know that movie “The Crying Game”? That chick had a penis. Huh-huh-huh.

Beavis: Yeah, really. They should have paid more attention to casting.
