I was up until 6 AM yesterday watching Christmas special after Christmas special to figure out what I was going to do next when finally I ran across this gem. It is, “A Very Special Christmas With Beavis And Butthead.”

Not only was this the dumbest thing I have seen in a while, but because it was 6 am and I was mostly incoherent, I had to watch it TWICE! And during the second time I actually TOOK notes! I took notes on a Beavis And Butthead episode! Livin the dream folks.

First off, there are some fantastic Christmas music videos in this bugger, one of my new favorites being Max Headroom’s, “Merry Christmas Santa Claus.” The best in this bunch (and the only video that the duo doesn’t seem to think “totally sucks”) is The California Raisins singing “Rudolph The Red Nosed Reindeer,” a clip taken from Will Vinton’s Claymation Christmas Celebration (A fantastic Christmas Special from I believe ’87 that is beloved by many children of the 80’s) Shout out to Kelly Bonin for introducing it to me! (She helps me bulk up on my 80’s references which I owe endless praise to)

Besides music videos, there are dumb jokes. Lots and lots of dumb jokes. But not too many dumb jokes, and they are not bad dumb (at least for me) but rather, loveable 90’s middle school dumb. Besides calling the log in the fire that perpetually is shown throughout the episode a “stool log,” here are some of my favorites:

***For reference, three periods in a row means not only a pause, but constant annoying laughter from either Beavis, Butthead, or both***

Beavis: *Singing* Teste the snowman, had a carrot up his butt….

Butthead: Yeah…Right on Beavis…

Right on indeed! Right on indeed!

And my other, which I will be busting out at Christmas parties everywhere:

Beavis: Hey Butthead…tell another one of those Christmas jokes…

Butthead: Okay…here’s one…Santa Claus, has this big sack….

If you don’t think these are funny then this show is not for you. Which is totally fine, I get it. But what I’m trying to say is that this show is totally for me.

The most telling of who I am as a person however comes in the very beginning of the episode, specifically the last line of this dialogue:

Butthead: I think its like….Christmas….

Beavis: Hey….Really?…..That’s pretty cool….

Butthead: Yeah….it’s cool cuz you get to sit around and watch TV

Beavis: Oh yeah!….That’s what we did last year!….

Butthead: Oh yeah….. And the year before that too….

Beavis: Yeah yeah yeah!….TV rules…

Butthead: Yeah….Its like, when something is cool, why change….

Bill Nye The Science Guy is cool. Oregon Trail is cool. Kenan And Kel are cool. Beavis and Butthead are cool. So yeah, exactly Butthead! If you think something is cool, don’t change it!
