29, my first exposure was the MTV2 rerun era in like, 2006. My first episode was Nosebleed. Became a major fan by the time Season 8 came out

[-]

I'm 32. Born in May, 1993 so I'm almost as old as the series itself. I first discovered it when I was 9 thanks to a friend who had the VHS tape of Do America and the compilation tape titled "Feel Our Pain". Soon after that it became a full on hunt for more which led to me amassing every tape of the series that was ever released in the UK, the B&B Experience album and even the script book of Do America, all of which I still have to this day.

I'm 25 myself and recently got into the show because I remember my dad being into it when he was around my age now.

shreddy_on_acid@reddit

I'm 40 and I used to watch beavis and butthead and headbangers ball in the early 90s when I was a kid and mtv played sound garden, megadeth, pantera, Alice In Chains. Those were kickass times, I was metalhead at the age of 6 haha.

[-]

Nornarul@reddit (OP)

omg that actually rocks. i need to figure out what head banger ball is though…

[-]

shreddy_on_acid@reddit

It was a hour long metal show that played on the weekends and had a different band on every time it usually played after beavis and butthead . Back then there wasn't much rap, mtv was 95% rock and metal. I miss those days

That's amazing!! I love that game, it must be great to be part of the team that made it!

Congratulations to all of you, playing that game feels like watching a 2\~3 hour long episode from the show! That's how great they captured the feeling.

[-]

Rare_Hero@reddit

Haha, thanks - I only worked on it for like 2 weeks & then I got moved onto a Sega Genesis game (not Beavis). So - I really had nothing to do with it other than maybe finding some bugs. But - it was a very funny 2 weeks. 🤘

ThisMayoisSpicy@reddit

Mid-forties, I was the shows target audience and the ones who the show meant the most too.

Most kids my age came home and turned in MTV (if they had cable) then after your parents went to bed, back to MTV.

Beavis and Butthead was at first a phenomenon for the violence it depicted. There was no internet. This was the only place you could see something like that. And while now looking back on it it's aged poorly and it's crude and gross and not really funny, but it was significant when it happened.

The show later evolved into a pretty well-aged criticism/observation of where culture was going. The listlessness of youth, the homogenization of culture, the celebration of stupidity and complete absence of shame.

And I think that's why it resonated with us. The video segments where they just rip on or celebrate the music, that's something every kid was doing watching 120 minutes after hours or headbangers ball, MTV raps or later TRL. And while we all saw Beavis and Butthead as idiots, there was a part of them that was reflected in all of us.

It didn't change the culture, it pointed out how culture was changing us before any of us realized it. That's why it's influential.

[-]

CardiologistMany7463@reddit

What didn’t age well? Are you talking about the REALLY early episodes/segments (I.e. “Frog Baseball”)?

[-]

ThisMayoisSpicy@reddit

Yeah. The most violent parts of the show. The episodes overall hold up, but that one specific element I don't feel aged well and that's why Mike Judge has toned in down in the reboot seasons.

[-]

It was at its peak when genx was in their late teens / 20s and elder millennials were aging into adolescence.

So prob safe to assume most of us are in that age range.

Love that it's attracting some new fans amongst you youngins! You should check out the rest of the stuff Mike Judge has created, too - he's a genius when it comes to edgy, dark comedy imho.

[-]

shadowstar36@reddit

Gen x here, mid 40s I was around 13 or 14 when it first aired, in the early 90s, so I'd say teens for younger gen x. I think mellenials just got the reruns (was it still airing on the late 90s? No according to Google it ended in 97. Although the movie came out after that I think.)

[-]

SenanPlayz69@reddit

17 lol

silentrob421@reddit

Honestly liking the new beavis and butthead more than the old. I remember watching it around age 13. And being told by my mom not to watch it and that it was a stupid show. Creep out to the living room to see if parents were up so I could watch tv, only to find my mom giggling like a teenager at this stupid show I wasn't supposed to watch. 😅

[-]

Didn't even know this sub existed.. Mid 40s, watched the show and headbangers ball back in the early 90s until mtv went to shit and I was out partying with friends more than being home watching TV.

I’m 26. Beavis & Butthead was just a little bit before my time, at least the original run. But I was always a big Mike Judge fan because my parents were super based and turned me on to some great media, like they showed me Beavis & Butthead of course, and then Office Space lol. Definitely probably weren’t things I shoulda been watching at that age 😂 but I turned out okay

[-]

KidRocksBiggestFan69@reddit

38 and I remember staying up late until my parents went to bed to watch the episodes and then scrambled porn on the TV. Also have a funny memory of riding my bike a mile away with a buddy to rent the game for sega, once my buddy’s mom found out, she had his dad whoop his ass with the belt then drove us to the video game rental store and cuss out the employee and return the game pissed because it was rated ages 13+ and we were like 9 or something I forget our age at the time

I think people would tell me I’d find the show offensive but I don’t because it’s clearly about two borderline stupid boys. 😂

sadslim666@reddit

But seriously curious as to how you younger people discovered B&B?? I mean the show aired 4 yrs before I was born and peaked while I was pretty much a new born but my earliest memories involve seeing them on TV screens (my parents were both 17 when they had me) the show peaked when I was pretty much still an infant but had a lasting effect on pop culture, I remember my uncles and older cousins impersonating them and giving me stickers of them since they started to grow on me the older I got

[-]

Cold-Figure8508@reddit

i literally don’t know how younger people stand a chance learning about them in the same way of people that really experienced it. i’m the only one out of all my friends that really know who they which is wild cause they know stuff like family guy and south park but that’s just cause they have been going FOREVER. i’m just an all around media nerd (legit what i study in university) so it’s kinda wild stuff.

My daycare teacher back in 2003 gave me a VHS tape of Beavis and Butthead the first few seasons lol. She thought it was a cartoon for kids. I forgot about the show as I grew up and only when I turned 16 I had a vague memory of the VHS tape and spent a while searching for what that cartoon was and when I found it, I became a big fan.

I’m 27 now and it’s my comfort show that helps with my anxiety. Love watching the burger world episodes when I’m eating fast food.
