Beavis & Butt-Head's cool, must-see Christmas special

Beavis & Butt-Head spend their Christmas watching music videos, reading letters from viewers and making fun of two Christmas classics, "A Christmas Carol" and "It's a Wonderful Life."

In the first short, "Huh Huh Humbug," Beavis (literally) dreams of becoming a boss at Burger World where he makes Butt-Head and McVicker work late. He goes home and watches a pornographic video, but keeps getting interrupted by ghosts of Butt-Head, Tom Anderson, Van Driessen, and Mr. Buzzcut. Each one of them - except for Butt-Head - suggests that Beavis should clean up his act or else. Funny as hell!

The second short, "It's a Miserable Life," has a guardian angel who is assigned to look over Beavis and Butt-Head separate the two by showing how the world would be a better place without Butt-Head. As the angel shows Butt-Head around town, he insists that it is actually a lot better without him, but Butt-Head disagrees and says that it sucks. This short does not suck, but is not quite as good as the first.

This is not their first Christmas special. Mike Judge made one or two Christmas specials before, but they were much shorter. This one at 45 minutes is primarily geared towards fans of the two slackers or anyone who loathes Christmas or in need of a good laugh. The only thing that blows is the music videos. You might also find some humor in Beavis and Butt-head's responses to letters from viewers. This video belongs to your collection of other Christmas videos along with "Frosty the Snowman," and "Rudolph, the Red-Nosed Reindeer." Merry Christmas.

My evaluation: B+
