When Beavis and Butthead originally aired, the duo skewered the music videos on MTV. Parents groups hated the show, it was the stupidest thing on television.

When the show rebooted in the 2010s, there weren't enough music videos so they started skewering other MTV content: teen mom, jersey shore, etc.

It was amazing, because Beavis and Butthead were exactly the same, but as a viewer you realized that Beavis and Butthead were now the SMARTEST thing on MTV.
