Animator Mike Judge scored a veritable pop-culture phenomenon with his 1990s MTV cartoon series BEAVIS AND BUTT-HEAD. Centred on the moronic misadventures of the two heavy-metal teens, the series definitively captured the decade's cultural zeitgeist with its slacker protagonists' couch-potato antics and so-dumb-they're-clever observations on the strip-mall-strewn landscape of late-20th-century America. Light on plot but heavy on farcical satire, BEAVIS AND BUTT-HEAD's edgy brand of humour quickly vaulted the series into the highest echelons of cult fandom while garnering controversy for its gleeful promotion of antisocial behaviour.
