Recommend a Beavis and Butt-head episode to initiate Gen Z'ers

I'm hoping to move on to Idiocracy pretty swiftly but need an overture.
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?

it’s difficult because they don’t come with the music videos anymore. that was peak beavis & butthead. breakin the law. breakin the law..
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.

Like a lot of things from the past, it's best to view this in context. The original B&B ran from '93 to '97, long before internet streaming was a thing. Commercial radio still controlled what music most people heard. This show broke the mold and exposed people to A: underground music that didn't get airplay "ladies and gentlemen... the Butthole Surfers" and B: older music that didn't get played on the radio anymore. FM radio was pretty freeform until the mid 80's when deejays were required to stick to a strict playlist. The impact was obvious when CD sales spiked for old/underground music after being featured on the show. Same thing for songs used in video game soundtracks.
