Recommend a Beavis and Butt-head episode to initiate Gen Z'ers
-
Frankly - my kids in front of the tv is pure Beavis and Butt-head
Fair point!
If the end goal is moving to Idiocracy, I do not remember exactly the episode but I do remember Beavis and Butthead met people who were dumber than them, which was the whole episode, and the humour felt a lot like what Idiocracy was as a whole.
It has been a long time since I saw the show so hopefully you know what I am talking about, and that I am not misremembering it. haha

I don't think Beavis and Butthead are mandatory for enjoying Idiocracy.
If you insist, just pick a couple of your favorites and see how they take it.

wrote last edited by [email protected]Idiocracy is standalone. If you want anything to watch beforehand, check out Office Space.
But if you really want to watch Beavis and Butthead, virtually any episode will do. I recommend the sex ed episode. You can also look up "Beavis and Butthead [insert 90s band you like here]" to find some of their music video commentaries.
EDIT: I realized from the other comments you're talking about initiating your kids? Yeah definitely the sex ed episode. Laughing at the word 'penis' spans all generations.

Hard to pick an episode in particular but I would definitely do one from the latest reboot. It’s still got the same feel as the original show but they commentate Tiktoks and YouTube videos so it would be more relevant to Gen Z. Then maybe later they can move on to the original show if they really like it

I re-watched a few episodes recently. I agree that it's simply not going to resonate with anyone younger than a Millennial. There was a lot of cultural context and subtexts that made sense at the time that will absolutely be lost on Zoomers.
Just go straight to Idiocracy. It doesn't need prologue any more than Office Space would.

Maybe something from the 2022 reboot?

If you were out on the high seas, one may search for the "King Turd collection" which was assembled by fans to be the most complete version of the original show out there.

I used to love an episode where Butthead gets a nosebleed and keeps making it worse and worse, I think it was just called Nosebleed. There was another episode where he thinks he’s pregnant. I was a teenager at the time so I don’t know if they’re still funny.
Actually the film (Beavis and Butthead Do America) stills holds up. I watched about a year ago and still enjoyed it. There’s a newer film which is supposed to be really good but I haven’t watched it yet.

Do America is still so funny I laughed the entire way through it.

I liked the reboot. I’d recommend the hoarders episode.

I also think it was called Nosebleed and is my answer to this question as well. That one and Worker's Constipation are my favorites.
