Watching this collection of cartoons featuring the world’s most famous animated underachievers is an absolute blast, particularly if you are old enough to remember when Beavis and Butthead first aired on MTV almost 20 years ago. These episodes seem tame, even quaint, when measured against today’s animated bad boys from South Park or Family Guy, but as the excellent DVD extras remind us, the establishment really hated and feared Beavis and Butthead when they came out because they knew if kids watched Frog Baseball they’d want to go out and play frog baseball. That probably never happened, but the influence of Mike Judge’s creation runs deeper than parents could ever imagine.
