The New York TimesRick MarinFeb 4, 2014
Season 1 Review: There's a fine line between clever and stupid, as somebody says in "This Is Spinal Tap," Rob Reiner's cleverly stupid "rockumentary." Beavis and Butt-head don't just walk that line: they live there. [11 July 1993, p.8]

Season 1 Review: Beavis and Butt-head are dumb, crude, thoughtless, ugly, sexist, self-destructive fools...But for some reason, the little wienerheads make us laugh." Huh, huh, huh. [27 May 1993, p.ND6]

Season 8 Review: Nevertheless, this is a kind of American classic that goes right against the grain of what cartoons are supposed to be. Read full review

Season 8 Review: You either like Beavis and Butt-Head or, if you're like most of the world, you don't. And they don't care. If you do, it will be good news that they are back and better news that they've lost nothing off their fastball. Read full review

Season 8 Review: The new jokes mostly feel slow and hands-off, less disdainful than uninterested. Read full review

Season 8 Review: The new series works just OK. The problem is, there actually isn't much of a need for the two dopes and their anti-wisdom anymore. Read full review
