If you were wondering, he likes it enough to start humping his couch. However, stripped of juvenile wisecracks, the commentary ends up being about how much Beavis enjoys the music of BTS. In episode two, the pair watch a BTS video. In fairness, the occasional music video does crop up, but it’s clear that their hearts aren’t really in it. And, as with the original, the mockery is so gleeful that you find yourself cheering them on a little. They lay into a woman who makes ASMR (autonomous sensory meridian response videos). And so this version of Beavis and Butt-Head comes studded with segments where the pair watch viral videos about, say, making your own prison tattoos, and breezily mock the accent of the idiot telling the internet how to do it.

Three decades ago, those people joined bands. The people who most urgently need deflating are pompous and preening and utterly self-regarding. And, in fairness to Judge, this makes a lot of sense. Without the material provided to them by self-regarding pop stars, what could Beavis and Butt-Head possibly mock in 2022? The music industry has entered such a state of stasis that the biggest hit of the summer is a 37-year-old Kate Bush song that was shown in a Netflix programme about a girl running away from a monster.

Of the rest, Beavis plays with fire in The Special One, the pair take on a new job in Beekeepers, they set out to have a smashing time in Roof, and they’re on the chick hunt with scant results in River. Out of the first four episodes online so far, the other stories worth checking out are Boxed In – where the paid think they can get Beavis’ drill back from the teacher’s desk by hiding in a box – which is then moved a long way away. In their return, their first escapade is to go into an Escape Room, taking place in a Mummy’s Tomb… not the toilet they’ve just taken a diversion into, and can’t get out because the door shut on them. Beavis and Butthead are back, and it’s been a long time since I saw this pair, other than the recent movie, Beavis and Butthead Do The Universe, but I used to see them on MTV frequently back in the day.
