Get set to give good taste the finger all over again beginning Aug. Both the boys' big movie moments - 1996's Beavis and Butt-Head Do America, as well as this year’s Beavis and Butt-Head Do the Universe - are also available on the service. In addition to serving up the new batch of episodes, the streamer is also rounding out its library of past Beavis and Butt-Head seasons, with remastered episodes from the original MTV series currently on tap for seasons 4-11. Van Driessen, who looks to have learned absolutely nothing, even after all these years, from the agonizing waves of casual torture these guys have inadvertently put him through. Also keeping the old-school flame alive is hopelessly nurturing teacher Mr. Hey, at least they’ll never be caught dead rockin’ a Winger tee. As the boys’ unchanging attire suggests (do they ever wash those T-shirts?), AC/DC and Metallica remain evergreen signifiers of peak performance in their murky, unsupervised little minds. How will our skinny heroes navigate a world that’s changed a bit since they first dorked around their small-town Texas haunts? We don’t know, but time has thankfully stood still at least in the wardrobe department. Like a dim light bulb trapped in a Butt-Head thought bubble, the iconic animated series first flickered to life at MTV all the way back in 1993, winning fast acclaim as a stealthily satirical send-up of 1990s pop culture. Now going by the slightly-tweaked official name of Mike Judge’s Beavis and Butt-Head, the revived series marks the first time Butt-Head and the Great Cornholio have seen action in regular, bite-sized episodes since 2011, when a Season 8 revival picked up their suspended adventures at MTV.
