Just when you think that we couldn’t get any dumber as a nation, Beavis and Butt-Head will return to our small screens later this month. So they’re back to Outer Space in Beavis and Butt-Head Do the Universe streaming June 23rd on Paramount+.
According to the press release, “the dumbest science fiction movie ever made” deals with the two of them winding up at space camp through “creative sentencing” from a juvenile court judge in 1998. Mistaking a docking simulator for something else (huh huh), Beavis and Butt-Head excel at it and are asked to join the space shuttle mission in a PR move. After ruining the mission, they are left for dead in space and end up going through a black hole and reemerging back on Earth in 2022, only to discover a very different world – and find themselves considered Buttholes of Interest by the NSA, the governor of Texas, and a highly intelligent version of themselves from a parallel universe. Also they almost lose their virginity, but don’t.
Of course, they don’t lose their virginities. They wouldn’t be able to stop chuckling long enough to do it. And now, I am picturing them having sex. I am going to have to watch the trailer again to get that image out of my head.
Oh, and if this is not enough good news for you, then how about every episode of the show has been remastered, and it is streaming on Paramount+ as you read this!
