If somebody told me to pick a favorite scene from the do America movie, it would be the one where Beavis is tripping.

A fan of white zombie

Also the highway scene:

Beavis and Butt-Head Do America, 1996, USA

Featuring a surprisingly large cast of famous actors, Beavis and Butt-Head Do America still holds up well today.

If in a future Beavis and Butt-head movie or special episode their fathers from the "Do America" film come back either as a cameo or in a flashback showing us more of their past as Motley Crue roadies i'd laugh my ass off when tumblr users turns them (their fathers obviously) into the next tumblr sexymen of the year

BEAVIS AND BUTT-HEAD DO AMERICA (1996)

One of the annoying trends that comes up periodically is the "you couldn't make X movie today because of WOKE" because (1) unless you're trying to make, like, Birth of a Nation Chapter II, that isn't true, but also (2) there are so many movies that "couldn't be made today" for more interesting reasons.

We're almost out of Wallace & Gromit clay. Technicolor went bankrupt. The plot of Beavis & Butt-Head Do America is contingent on teenagers having a degree of unfettered access to air transportation and government buildings that suspends too much disbelief in 2024.

I’m honestly tired of people babygirling Beavis both in and outside the fandom and I don’t think the movie or 2022 revival helps much. Even if people keep his a-hole teen boy nature they still characterize him as that way just because of Butt-Head goading him - so here’s a list of awful things Beavis has done - mostly outside of Butt-Head’s influence

Sadistically pulled a bumblebee’s limbs and wings off just to watch it squirm and suffer (You Might Think music video)

Stomped on and killed multiple men unprovoked in the Godzilla opening sequence of Do America (Butt-Head only swatted a helicopter away because it was in his face while trying to put the moves on a chick)

Said he would kiss a dead chick (“Candy Sale”)

Falsely accused a man of child molestation as a joke (“Manners suck”)

Stole the wallet off a guy he thought he killed (“Patsies”)

Was fine with letting Butt-Head drown (“Water Safety”) and wanted to burn him alive (“The Special One”)

Called a woman “old” and said she “should do something about that” in group therapy and made her cry (“Close Encounters”)

Claimed that he only cares about himself and everyone else should die (“Mr. Anderson’s Balls”)

Thought it would be funny if a guy fell on a pitchfork and it impaled him in the stomach (Rusty Cage music video commentary)

Asked if chicks would do anything he wanted in heaven (“The Final Judgment of Beavis”)

Peeped in on a woman going to the bathroom (“Vs the Vending Machine”)

Put a piece of paper up the butt of a horsefly and watch it slowly die of exhaustion while he looks upon it with glee (“Most Wanted”)

regarding the rally last saturday, here is a write up from The Hollywood Reporter. I've copied the text behind the cut:

As industry workers face layoffs, outsourcing and the specter of artificial intelligence, leaders of the union painted this year's bargaining cycle as a "do or die" moment.

Animation workers and supporters argued that recent technological and business shifts have left their craft hanging in the balance during a packed union rally in Burbank on Saturday, with one speaker positing that “the American animation industry is at stake.”

The Animation Guild (IATSE Local 839) organized the event before it heads into bargaining over a new three-year contract with the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers that will tackle hot-button issues like AI and outsourcing. Gathering at the parking lot of IATSE Local 80 in sweltering, mid-80-degree heat, attendees heard from guild leaders, local politicians, rank-and-file workers and a few boldfaced names (director Guillermo del Toro sent a rallying cry, telling the workers to “fight like hell”), who emphasized the urgency and stakes of this year’s talks.

The overall message was summed up by union president Jeanette Moreno King (Beavis and Butt-Head Do the Universe): “We’re at a crossroads in this industry with uncertainties we haven’t faced before,” she told the audience, adding, “We’re not just defending our jobs, we’re defending the soul of this industry."

Top of mind for both attendees and speakers was the threat of generative AI to animation workers. Addressing the audience, emcee Mike Rianda compared the plot of his 2021 film The Mitchells vs. the Machines to the situation that today’s union members face. “It’s funny that I’m [now] part of a group of actual human underdogs who are fighting a very real threat of robot replacement with AI,” he joked. Legendary character animator James Baxter (Beauty and the Beast, The Lion King) emphasized in a short speech that art is made by humans. “If someone tells you that AI is just another tool, is just another paintbrush, they are wrong,” he said.

Talks are set to begin at the Sherman Oaks offices of the AMPTP on Monday and last through Friday, which is the final day of the union’s current contract extension.

In an interview at the event with The Hollywood Reporter, negotiating committee member and writer Joey Clift (PAW Patrol, Spirit Rangers) asserted that the union was fighting for the careers of current and future animation workers. “This really, for us, feels like a do-or-die negotiation cycle,” he said.

Dual Writers Guild of America and Animation Guild member Bill Wolkoff (Kipo and the Age of Wonderbeasts), who has been a member of the latter union since 2009, emphasized that he had never seen animation workers so fired up. “This is the most engaged I’ve ever seen TAG members before, and I’m very excited to be out here for that reason and be a part of that,” he said.

The crowd at Saturday’s event was notably larger than the one attending a similar rally organized by the guild two years ago, during its last round of contract negotiations. While attendance numbers were not immediately available, according to negotiating committee member Clift, this year the union had over 2,000 RSVPs as of Friday, which more than doubles the crowd of the 2022 event.

It also had an engaged audience. Rock, Paper, Scissors writer Julia Prescott got a hearty response during a speech stating that if the union doesn’t make major changes to the contract now, it won’t have another chance. “The American animation industry is at stake and the drawing kid from your childhood is not going down without a fight,” she said. Storyboard artists Nora Meek and Charlie Jackson (The Patrick Star Show) also drew attention for their joint address. “What we’re going to win in this contract is more than just slowing down the race to the bottom. We’re going to win our industry back,” said Jackson.

Packing in the f-bombs, Writers Guild of America West board member Adam Conover (Adam Ruins Everything) drew loud applause during his speech to the group. He advocated for animation workers not to seek out the respect of companies during the negotiations. “You do not need their respect because they will never give it to you,” he said. “Their respect doesn’t matter. What matters is your respect for yourself. And if you respect yourself enough to say, ‘You know what, I will not work for you until I get what I deserve,’ then you will fucking win.”
