Beavis
and Butthead, to put it mildly, possess no redeeming social
value, nor are they politically correct. MTV, an unctious
network, remarkably pleased with its own unctiousness despite,
or perhaps because of its own programming, runs a disclaimer
before episodes of "Beavis and Butthead," pointing out the
crudity, sexism and general stupidity of the boys - but
what the hey, because, as the disclaimer concludes, "For
some reason the little wienerheads make us laugh." The disclaimer,
of course, is part of the joke. The joy of watching Beavis
and Butthead is reveling in their social and political incorrectness.
