Beavis and Butt-Head Do The Universe

Directors Albert Calleros and John Rice came together with MTV to produce what I’d like to call a thirst-trap film in the name of Beavis and Butt-Head Do The Universe.

 

The film was released on the 24th of June 2022 and distributed by Paramount+ with the production companies MTV Entertainment Studios and Titmouse.
 
I went into this film completely blind by watching it without any research such as the trailer, cast, or what it was about due to the recognizable characters in Beavis and Butt-Head, and ladies and gentlemen, I did myself a favor.
 
At first, I thought I was giving them a chance due to their popularity back on MTV before the rise of animation series such as Dragon Ball Z, Pokemon, and Digimon but I did not expect a sex-craze-obsessed teenagers film like this.
 
Beavis sounds like a broken-down car that refuses to start at the end or beginning of every sentence while Butt-Head portrays a character that represents his name without shame or mercy.
 
I can understand their message about how saying something without being properly upfront can be very misleading but to make the entire film about “scoring” is outrageously ludicrous.
 
It’s clear from the first ten minutes of the film that Beavis and Butt-Head are incredibly lacking when it comes to the intellectual side of things and dry as the sun when it comes to sex, they should have been awarded medals for mastering how to stay virgins in my opinion.
 
Beavis and Butt-Head come across as such idiots that you can’t help but laugh at their stupidity and with all honesty, that’s what makes this film so funny.
 
You’d think you have seen it all at the beginning of the film, that some of the jokes are either too childish for such an old audience, which in turn makes the film not worth watching but for those with a sense of humor and can see past all the negativity, the humor seriously grows on you lol…
 
Beavis and Butt-Head Do The Universe has so many sex references, I could not help but reminisce about the film Project X, which also had a group of teenage friends preparing a house party just so that they could get laid lol…
 
In Beavis and Butt-Head’s place, they would go into a black hole and back if it meant getting to score.
 
The moments that had me on my knees with laughter were of the smartest versions of Beavis and Butt-Head from an alternative universe, White Privilege, Serena’s body count and so much more.
 
For a really silly film, we got to see a ridiculous amount of abuse of power from both Butt-Head towards Beavis and Serena towards Jim Hartson.
 
The representation that love can be the destroyer of even the most iconic friendships or that politicians and lies go hand in hand with one another was brilliantly done.
 
I must congratulate Mike Judge for voicing so many characters on his own including those of Beavis and Butt-Head and both directors for working on such a silly film yet making it thought-provoking and enjoyable.
 
Its run time of 1 hour 27 minutes is just perfect for the pacing that gradually grows you on with its continuous unorthodox sexual-related humor.
 
I never once thought about how far the film is or how far it is from its ending so I’ll give credit where it’s due.
 
Let me know in the comments section bellows what some of your favorite moments of Beavis and Butt-Head Do The Universe were.
 
Thanks for reading…Beavis and Butt-Head

"Beavis and Butt-Head started with me animating a two-minute short, and then a second one that was like three minutes."

After a “creative” judge sentences them to space camp, a black hole sends our adolescent heroes 24 years into the modern future where the duo misuse iPhones, embark on a quest to score, and become targets of the Deep State.
