Mike Judge, the creator and voice of MTV's insouciant Beavis and Butt-head characters, made his feature film directorial debut with this full-length B&B misadventure, which finds the boys going on a cross-country adventure after their all-important television set is stolen. Fans of the now-defunct TV show will obviously enjoy this film the most, though almost anyone with a passing awareness of the characters will find something to chuckle about. (The funniest recurring gag finds beleaguered B&B neighbor Tom Anderson constantly sabotaged by the guys while on vacation.) Celebrity voices are fun to pick out, particularly that of David Letterman, who rather appropriately plays Butt-head's long-lost father. --Tom Keogh

Description

Our intrepid adolescent heroes wake up to find their beloved television stolen, and embark on an epic journey across America to recover it, and, who knows, maybe even score. On the way they encounter a murderous smuggler of a deadly virus and his treacherous wife, an FBI agent with a predilection for cavity searches, a couple of rather familiar looking ex-Motley Crue roadies, Mr. Van Dreesen singing "Lesbian Seagull", a little old lady and of course Mr. Anderson and his trailer. Can the Great Cornholio save the day? Uh-huh. Huh-huh.

Really did we miss baywatch? huh huh huh.......2007-05-09

The 2 moronic characters are on a mission to search for their beloved tv which was stolen after they woke up. They travel the country for their mission to score with this drunk dudes wife and get $10 grand to buy a big screen tv with 2 remotes because they say it's gonna rule! And beavis is hoping to do some [...] in los vegas. This is the most funniest movie I wish they came back on tv I also miss beavises best catchy line FIRE! FIRE! FIRE! FIRE! which has beavises insane pyromania feeling in this movie and cornholio. Too bad mike judge had to remove beavises pyromanian line because of those retarded parents pinning it out on this show for the loss of their daughter which they didn't even watch their kids and I say it was their fault not this show or the kids but the parents fault. Any way for real good humor I recommend this movie for you. beavis and [...] head rule and mtv sucks! I give it a 5/5 stars.

Very well done.......2007-03-14

I love to laugh and if you're a goofball like me you should own this. When I want to forget about what stresses me I put it on and get involved in this crime/drama/comedy.

If you like B&B you'll love this.

It's Beavis & Butthead... COME ON!.......2007-01-12

If you're looking at Beavis & Butthead Do America.. then you already know who they are... and you need to own this! No If's And's Or But's!

It's quite surprising how much it holds up.......2006-09-19

Before South Park came on the air and offended practically everybody with cripple fights to cooking parents in chili to saying the S word a record 162 times, there was Beavis and Butthead. Found on MTV, the pair were crude and just plain moronic who laughed at even the mention of dirty words bringing out the popular catchphrase "uh-huh, you said ". After the show ended, the pair got their own movie and became a surprise hit so who would've guessed that it's actually still funny?

Beavis and Butthead are sleeping on their trademark couch which allows a pair of robbers to steal their prized TV. Not wanting to just allow it, they go hunting for it and end up meeting Muddy, a biker who will pay them to "do" his wife, which of course he means kill but they didn't get that part. So he flies them to Vegas to meet her only she sends them to Washington with something particularly interesting and quite dangerous. And of course the hilarity and antics ensue.

Now, the humor seems kind of tame. Buzzards having sex with each other or a topless sphinx probably doesn't have that kneeslapper kick to it like it used to. Not that I mind anyway since even if certain jokes don't work, the whole thing has a very loose and laid-back feeling about it where it doesn't even matter if you're not laughing, you're just glad they're up there. Some jokes, such as the preposition one, Beavis' alter-ego Cornholio are always funny, not to mention Robert Stack's ATF character's love for cavity searches.

Does it have some problems? A bit. The reliance on toilet humor can only go so far and you kind of wanted them to do more America rather than the limited ones we have here. We literally skip over certain states that could've got some good mileage. And while visually impressive, the Rob Zombie inspired freak-out in the desert just doesn't fit (and to be honest: anything involving Rob Zombie and filmmaking just doesn't work). But they're only minor concerns and of course this is a MTV movie - a Beavis and Butthead one nonetheless - so all that stuff gets thrown out the window.

The special features are pretty good but you kind of wish there was more. We have a commentary with Mike Judge and Yvette Kaplan with Mike slipping into character a couple times(not often enough but the mention of his dream involving the movie is hilarious). The featurette is slightly disappointing as while we do get some background and discussion, some of it is either redundant and back-patting or mentioned already in the commentary. But seeing some footage of the VA's, including Mike Judge doing Beavis, Butthead and Mr. Anderson are always awesome.

If you were into the show, this is of course a good place to start. If you weren't, give it a try since this is probably the best launch pad to get into the show.

There's lots of 'slots' in Vegas.......2006-08-04

The hit MTV cartoon Beavis & Butthead from creator Mike Judge truly was at its peak when they released this movie 10 years ago. In fact, I remember rushing out to see it in the movie theater. Twice. This is a great movie when you just need to veg out, or if you feel stupid and worthless and are desperate to see someone more stupid and worthless than you feel. If you ever enjoyed watching Beavis & Butthead on MTV and you never saw this movie, then you must live in a cave. Beavis & Butthead wind up traveling all across America as they try to hunt down who stole their most prized possession...their TV. As they wander around town looking for a TV to watch, they happen upon a seedy motel where they meet Muddy, an alcoholic who just happens to be waiting for 2 guys to meet him about "doing" his wife. Muddy is too drunk to notice or care that Beavis & Butthead are a little young for the job, all the while they think "doing" Muddy's wife implies sex not murdering her. Muddy sends them to Vegas to off his wife, but when they get there, she finds out their plan and plays on their naiveity (or should I say stupidity) to get them to head across country on a bus to Washington, DC. But unknown to Beavis & Butthead, she has sewn a unit containing a dangerous virus inside it into Beavis' shorts, and now the whole country is on the lookout for the 2 "most dangerous" criminals in America. It's great fun from beginning to end and certainly something you'll enjoy over and over again, that is, if you were a fan in the first place. Enjoy!

I dont know why people are complaining .......2007-04-29

Beavis and Butthead is a great tv show so if you like Beavis and Butthead you should buy it but if your going to complain like a little baby that its missing episodes return it i dont care there not missing alot. Theres only one this i would complain about. the videos on the 3 discs suck the good ones arent on. A rate to 5 of 0 4.5

This DVD set is missing a lot of good episodes........2006-10-31

Firstly, let's start off with the 5 stars that Beavis and Butt-Head deserves. Beavis and Butt-Head was great television that pushed the edge of the envelope. It was excellent so we'll start with a five star rating. Unfortunately some decisions on the part of the DVD producers detract from that...

Selling the DVDs in 'best of' format rather than all the episodes in a format that preserves the broadcast timeline is, in my opinion, a mistake. As other reviewers have pointed out, Mike Judge's 'best episodes' aren't necessarily mine. Then there's the fact that 68 episodes are completely missing - that amounts to just over one third of Beavis and Butt-head that didn't make it into this set. Two stars removed for a flawed format that is very disappointing for those of us who want to see every Beavis & Butt-Head episode in its proper context.

Also, the deletion of certain lines of dialogue from certain episodes is absolutely wrong. Those of us who appreciated ALL the writing have been swindled. One star removed for this awful decision.

Finally, in my opinion, separating the music videos out and adding them as extras is a great solution to a difficult problem. Some of us disliked the music videos while some liked them. Then there's the problem of obtaining copyright. This method satisfies everyone as much as possible. We get to see the show without the distraction of the videos while those who enjoyed the music videos get to see them. One star added for this excellent decision. I only wish every decision made by the producers of this DVD box set was as intelligent as this one.

So all-in-all 3 stars.

Here are all the episodes that The Mike Judge Collection doesn't include in the order they aired:

Peace Love & Understanding, Blood Drive, Door-To-door, Sign Here, Balloon, Customers Suck, Heroes, Stewart's House, Yogurt's Cool, Babes R Us, Friday Night, Scientific Stuff, At The Sideshow, Be All You Can Be, Burger World, Bedpans And Broomsticks, Good Credit, Way Down Mexico Way, For Better Or Verse, Beware Of The Butt, At The Movies, Sick, Baby Makes Uh - Three, The Butt-Head Experience, Comedians, Car Wash, Couch-Fishing, Kidnapped, Naked Colony, Tornado, Incognito, Cleaning House, Scratch 'N' Win, Scared Straight, Sperm Bank, Citizen Butt-Head, True Crime, The Trial, Ball Breakers, Buff 'N' Stuff, Canoe, Eating Contest, Foreign Exchange, Beavis And Butt-Head Meet God, Young Gifted & Crude, Politically Correct, Sporting Goods, Closing Time, Wall Of Youth, Cow Tipping, Trouble Urinating, Jump!, Pumping Iron, Let's Clean It Up, Water Safety, Beavis And Butt-Head's Island, Crisis Line, Beard Boys, Hard Sell, Walking Erect, Career Day, Take A Number, To The Rescue, I Dream Of Beavis, Screamers, Skin Trade, The Mystery Of Morning Wood.

Some of these are classic episodes. In my opinion to omit any of them is a crime, especially considering that the true fans of the show have waited years hoping for ALL of B&B to finally be published.
