Beavis and Butt-head are coming back... again


During the heyday of MTV, when the channel actually stood for Music Television, there was an edgy animated sitcom called Beavis and Butt-Head. Created by Mike Judge, the show premiered in 1993 and featured a pair of teenage dimwits. They became pop culture icons, and the show spawned a big-screen spin-off. In 1997, after four years and 209 episodes, the original series went off the air.

But Beavis and Butt-Head survived. There were reruns and a one-season revival back in 2011. Just recently, Judge signed a deal with Comedy Central to bring them back to television. Details of the new series are few right now but, according to The Hollywood Reporter, the King of the Hill director will write, produce and voice a reimagined version of the show for two seasons.

"Beavis and Butt-Head were a defining voice of a generation, and we can't wait to watch as they navigate the treacherous waters of a world light-years from their own," said ViacomCBS' Chris McCarthy. Plus, Judge added, "it seemed like the time was right to get stupid again."

Here's a video of Beavis and Butt-Head watching and commenting on Radiohead's Fake Plastic Trees.


Beavis: "Ahhhhhhhh, yeah. I like to mellow out to this song."

Butt-Head: "Yeah. Let's get a little mellow."

Beavis: "Sometimes if I have a boner that won't go down, I listen to this kind of music."

What do you think? Should Beavis and Butt-Head return to TV? If you have the power to singlehandedly bring one dearly departed animated series back from the dead, what would it be?

Nike Blazer Mid 77 Scribble

When I was in high school, doodling on kicks was a thing. How cool to come into class, learn a few things, then walk out with a pair of scribbled-on sneakers. Even today, many basketball stars are using their shoes for much more than performance. Take a close look at their trainers and you'll find messages written all over. Now Nike is celebrating the process with the release of its Blazer Mid 77 Scribble. Aside from the hand-drawn sidewall Swoosh, the shoe also has smaller notes hidden all over, including the style name and the year it was made. The tongue is also equipped with the brand's logo, which has been hand-drawn in black. I really like the design, especially the imperfect lines. And since we're talking about scribbled-on sneakers, I can't not mention Niko Pelaez . He's a true shoe-drawing machine!  [h/t: Sneaker News ]

The Salimbaa

Here's a strange tribal instrument I never heard of before now. Originally from the Tinananon tribe of southern Philippines, the bowl-shaped Salimbaa is made of metal and wood, has 30 bronze wound strings, and is played using two small sticks.  Caleb Byerly, who makes lost/extinct musical tools in his North Carolina workshop, has an interesting story on how he made his first Salimbaa. WATCH: More details about Caleb and his craft over at  Our State .

The Art of Alice Pasquini

I got introduced to Alice Pasquini's work via Twitter a few hours ago and was immediately intrigued by her art, which revolves around topics of femininity and independent women. A little intro: She graduated from the Academy of Fine Arts in Rome, and works as an illustrator, set designer and painter. She has lived and worked in the U.K, France, and Spain, and has completed projects with international brands, such as Canon, Nike, Range Rover, Toyota, and Microsoft. From large murals to small canvasses, Alice's creativity shines through in every city she visits, thanks to her unique style. It's impossible to choose favorites because they're all stunning and you'll have to go to her website to experience them all.
