Even those that don’t really enjoy the “juvenile” humor of Beavis and Butthead will get a kick out of this one. This is one of the funniest movies I’ve seen in a while. Beavis And Butthead: Do The Universe Is Gutbusting It starts with subtle commentary and comes all the way back to jokes about rockets entering things. Think back to what made Beavis and Butthead and Beavis and Butthead: Do America such cherished animated projects. They don’t follow rules, they don’t do the traditional thing, and it works so well.

In so many ways how legacy or requel sequels work, Beavis and Butthead: Do The Universe just does its own thing. They think it’s a tiny TV in their hands and that the foreign family in front of them “sucks”. It’s never shown better than when Beavis and Butthead see a smartphone for the first time. Instead of making plenty of jokes about how Beavis and Butthead are antiquated and trying to shoehorn cheap laughs, the laughs come naturally. Do you know how they bring back Beavis and Butthead? They just take the characters from 1998 and put them into our time period. The sheer brilliance of just saying “yeah, no one cares about a legacy sequel” and throwing the recent trend to the wind, is a stroke of genius.
