If not, here are some examples: in a mini-game called Bug Justice, you must protect sweets from the bugs by burning them with the lens of a magnifying glass in another mini-game called Air Guitar, you must record a tune using gratuitous sound bites such as farts and burps. Again, if you have watched the show, you will know what I mean. The humor is juvenile and follows closely to the cartoon.
The cartoonish graphics of the game seem quite simplistic but are in accord to the dated style of the television series. However, they must first skip class and escape from their school-a task that is certainly not as simple as it seems to be. To do this, they need to run mindless errands through different parts of the town, including a café, a war museum, a slaughter-house, and even the city jail, all the while trying to get closer to Todd. The exact plot of the game is bare: Beavis and Butthead want to join the cool local gang, and they must do whatever it takes to please the gang's leader Todd. Likewise, the few music videos in the game are also lifted from those appearing in the television episodes. Many of the game's subsequent cut scenes are taken from the television show, though some have been reanimated specifically for the game. It opens with the same warning, proclaiming that both Beavis and Butt-Head are not good role models and that they are not even humans but only cartoons, after which the familiar "Don't try this at home." message appears. The game follows the same plot and shares a similar graphic style, especially in the cut scenes, as its cartoon series. Butt-Head is the leader of the duo and is a bit (but not by much) smarter than Beavis.Įven as a game, Beavis and Butt-Head in Virtual Stupidity has very few differences from the television show on which it is based.
When Beavis consumes too much coffee or sugar, he turns into The Great Cornholio-or The Almighty Bungholio, as he calls himself-his hyperactive alter ego. Yet, as "stupid" as they are, they can be quite inventive when trying to pick up girls, skipping school, or trying to realize their dream of joining the gang of a local thug.
They spend most of their free time watching television (rock music videos, to be precise), eating chips, fantasizing about sex, and pretending to be tough guys. Wait, have I just said "stupid"?! They are not just "stupid"-they are actually idiotic and moronic, almost in every aspect of life.
If not, allow me tell you a bit about the series and its stars.īeavis and Butt-Head are a pair of stupid teenagers. Have you ever watched Beavis and Butt-Head? Chances are if you are a fan of MTV from the mid 1990s, you may have been a regular fan of this animated cartoon series.
