Also, I like how half the music videos are not music videos, but clips from MTV reality shows. Subtle commentary on how the channel's changed over the years? Or simply a lack of available music video content?

The main reason they're doing it is for syndication; the original episodes couldn't be syndicated on television because MTV doesn't own rights to the music videos.

I think that's the whole purpose of the new episodes. I think if they can reach enough episodes then they get the rights to the music videos back, or something. Idk.

They need permission to use music videos now.

What horseshit. B&B just isn't B&B if they can't goof on videos.

I'm still trying to decide if that means I should lament that reality shows are apparently what define modern popular culture and therefore deserve more prominence in Beavis & Butthead, or just to be happy that these two tearing into them makes them watchable for a guy like me.

Incidentally, I didn't know their was a band called LMFAO until now, so the world just got simultaneously funnier and stupider and more tragic for me.

I am truly jealous of anyone who is so out of touch with popular culture that they'd never heard of LMFAO. Wow.

I'd never heard of them either, because all modern music blows more ass than a billion years of fly and donkey evolution.
