Laughed so hard I almost passed out..., Mar 2 2001
This review is from: Beavis & Butt-Head Do America (VHS Tape)
And I'm not kidding. This is absolutely one of the funniest movies I have ever seen, in terms of really dumb people who continue to do really dumb (but amazingly hilarious) things. I have NEVER laughed so hard during a movie - and I do laugh a lot - as I did for this one. I actually missed a few parts of the movie - I was laughing so hard I couldn't pay attention anymore, because I was so worried about not starving myself of oxygen. Robert Stack is absolutely wonderful as the hard-nosed FBI agent, who wants to cavity search everyone he comes across. He plays his role, a very absurd but serious lawman, with perfecet straightness, like Leslie Nielsen in the airplane movies. This is a movie that is consistently well-written throughout, with no real weak spots, or lapse in the comedy, and no lapse of self-awareness that Beavis and Butthead are truly stupid - intellectualy, culturaly, socially, and interpersonally, they are completely deficient. The opening, too, is great - just like the musical introduction to starsky and hutch and other truly bad "cinematic" TV shows and movies of the 70s. Thank God we left that decade, eh? I recommend this movie heartily to anyone who might like Airplane, Monty Python, Hot Shots, or other absurdist humor. Brilliant writing, and hilarious!

Beavis & Butt-Head RULE!!!, Jun 20 2004
Alot of people today seem to have forgotten Beavis & Butt-Head. People today usually restrict themselves to The Simpsons or South Park. Although those shows are EXTREMELY hilarious, we must never forget the crazy antics of Beavis & Butt-Head. Because without Beavis & Butt-Head, shows like South Park would probably never exist. Matt Stone & Trey Parker (creators of South Park) themselves said that they like Beavis & Butt-Head. And there would CERTAINLY be no King of the Hill without Beavis & Butt-Head. If you have seen little to no Beavis & Butt-Head in your life, then you are truly deprived of really funny comedy. Mike Judge (creator of Beavis & Butt-Head and King of the Hill) is a very funny person with very good ideas, and this movie proves that beyond a shadow of a doubt. For those of you who don't know, Beavis & Butt-Head are two very stupid yet very funny teenagers who are completely perverted and who are obsessed with heavy metal bands such as AC/DC and Metallica. Their crazy antics affect their life at home, at school, at stores, and basically everywhere. If you don't think they are funny from just this description, buy this movie and your attitude will change COMPLETELY! Beavis & Butt-Head Do America is basically Beavis & Butt-Head on a roadtrip across America. After their T.V. is stolen, they are somehow thrown into an international conspiracy dealing with two criminal masterminds and a virus that is inside a computer-chip-like object. While they are being thrown into all this, they are prooclaimed the most dangerous men in America. And while the FBI is after them, they are blissfully unaware of what is going on. I don't want to give away what actually happens in the movie, but I will say that their journey takes them from their home town of Highland to Las Vegas, the Hoover Dam, a church, the Old Faithful geiser, the middle of a desert, and Washington D.C.. All in all, this movie is one of my favorite comedy movies of all time. This movie deserves a place right next to South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut in your personal VHS/DVD library. If you like comedy like South Park and The Simpsons, then you will definately like Beavis & Butt-Head and ultimately...Beavis & Butt-Head Do America.

HEHEHEHEHEHE HUHUHUHUHUHUHUHUH, May 3 2004
I think like most people who have purchased this DVD are ike me, and love the movie, it truely is a classic comedy. But the DVD could have done with more bonus features. I was hoping that maybe Mike Judge would do an Audio commentary? I could imagine quite clearly the opening credits rolling, and Mike saying that persons name, and then Beavis and Butthead saying somthign like "shes a s**t" and "I scored with her" and all the other classic things that Beavis and Butthead would say. Plus there is apperently delted scenes that are not on this DVD. This movie is great. But the DVD should have more features then just a couple of trailers.
