The Long-Awaited Return of “Beavis and Butthead”

I like Mike Judge.

Idiocracy was pretty good (even though it’s become a bit overrated, mostly due to the studios not releasing it correctly, giving it an “underdog” status that attracted a cult-like following), King of the Hill was decent enough, and Office Space is, obviously, a classic. His new movie Extract looks like a pretty standard pot comedy, something to maybe catch on Comedy Central down the road. (Unless it gets amazing word-of-mouth reviews, but the crappy trailers have me guessing that’s not going to happen.)

But we all know that, once everything’s said and done, Mike Judge will be known for one thing and one thing only: Beavis and Butthead. And rightfully so: that show is one of the greatest things ever created.

Which is why it’s so great to see the pair back in action. Sure, it’s for a somewhat lame promotion for Extract, but still …

The even bigger news to come out of all of this Extract promotional tour is that Judge is now floating the idea of making an actual sequel to the Beavis and Butthead movie. If he does that, I’ll make a promise, right here and now, to see every one of his other lesser movies on opening day, as a way of saying thanks.
