Even though the series is not really thought-provoking per se, it still strikes a cord because it pokes fun at sometimes very serious matters. You have to look at the material through a looking-glass to understand the pressures, situations and feelings that many adolescents have in this day and age.

Stuff like 'Beavis and Butt-Head' is simply to entertain and make its audience feel good about itself (I mean no one could be as moronic as these characters are, could they?). The creativity of the series (which ran from 1993-1997 on cable's MTV) is outstanding. Creator Mike Judge (who does most all the voices of the insane characters) actually does what his title says: he was creative.

A civil war between viewers would then of course start, with the youths of the country winning or did they (the fact that the show pretty much stopped after the theatrical movie makes you wonder if the program didn't go too far with the wrong people)? I personally love the series even today. Church groups and many adults shunned the show while the majority of those in the huge 15 to 30 age group demographic loved and embraced the program wholeheartedly. They do however constantly show interest in 'scoring' (losing their virginity), drinking alcohol, smoking, stealing and an endless list of other possible miscreant activity. They care nothing about school or really anything for that matter. MTV original animation programming about two teens (the titled characters) who go through life obliviously.
