ANI-MOVIES, *Beavis And Butt-Head Do The Universe

After doing America, Beavis And Butt-Head Do The Universe. Mike Judge began the third incarnation for his satirical teenage animated comedy as a full-length movie, but wheraes Do America seems like an actual motion picture, Do The Universe is more like a collection of multiple episodes with a loose storyline tying them all together. The animation was handled this time by Titmouse who had also picked up the production for The Venture Bros., so they're familiar with taking on an existing adult animation franchise.

Starting off in 1998(which might completely skip over Season 8 from 2011), Beavis and Butt-Head destroy their school's science fair which by proxy of their dumb luck gets them a spot in space camp. Thinking that the boys' constant fondling of a docking simulator is a leap ahead for human genius, the NASA idiots decide to bring the two of them along on a mission in the space shuttle. Beavis and Butt-Head cause the shuttle to get wrecked and are tossed off into space by the female captain Serena, even though they thought it was all a plan for them to get laid with her. The boys go through a black hole and wind up in the year 2022 several miles from their home. They are then visited by alternative universe versions of themselves dressed like Marvel's The Watcher called Smart Beavis and Smart Butt-Head that tell them they have to go through a portal back to their own time or both universes will be destroyed. Regular Beavis and Butt-Head totally forget about this as they make their way back home where they think Serena is waiting for them to score. Serena is now the governor of Texas and seeks to kill the boys to cover up her botched murder of them, while at the same time the Pentagon has agents looking for them believing them to be aliens. The dumb duo journey through a college where they think they can get away with anything because of "white privilege", they end up in jail, stuck in a port-a-potty, and go on a nacho shopping spree after getting a smartphone from naive tourists. Everything of course works out in the end with our boys having their house rebuilt and no one in Highland to have aged at all in the last 24 years, or at least according to Season 9 on up of the TV series as its currently playing on Paramount+.

Do The Universe helps breathe new life into an old sitcom premise of two dolts watching music videos and stumbling through life merely on their own stupidity. The current run on Paramount+ is a step up from 2011 revival, even though they don't explain how no time seems to have passed in Highland over the years Beavis and Butt-Head were gone. We do finally find out that the house they've been squatting in the last few years was Beavis' mother who is the only one of the cast to have disappeared during the time skip. Another bonus is the obligatory appearance of Cornholio. If you've never seen any of the 90s episodes or the original movie, you will probably be lost on the subtle but sensless comedy that Beavis And Butt-Head fed to an entire generation.
