It might be the only way we can account for the huge time discrepancy between the original series where Clinton was President and the 2011 season where Obama was President and notably the duo, Stewart, and all their teachers have barely aged. Plus, some movies like ''Literature/{{Twilight}}'' were released a lot earlier than in 2008. And during the revival, while the No Child Left Behind Act, which was signed into law by George W. Bush in real life, got mentioned by [=McVicker=], we can just assume for simplicity's sake that it was passed under the show's Obama as well.

* Jossed as of the 2022 revival where the 2011 revival is de-canonized. Beavis and Butt-head leave the country as of 1998, enter into a black hole, and come back in 2022. So in all that [[TimeSkip lost time]], they didn't even have to live through the Bush or Obama years (or the Trump term for that matter).

Perhaps the boys could ''try'' to play baseball with a frog once again only to get immediately hounded by animals rights activists this time around, or their middle-aged selves could go for another round for old times sake... only for the game to go terribly wrong when their weakened bodies strain or the frog just can't be thrown far enough anymore.

* Only semi-confirmed for now. Daria does make her return but only as an alternate universe version of herself known as Smart Daria from Smart Beavis and Butt-head's world. It still remains to be seen if Daria Prime will return.

[[WMG:Tom Anderson having to put up with Beavis and Butt-head making his life difficult is his divine LaserGuidedKarma for his wartime incompetence that got people under him killed]]
As episodes like "Korean Farmhouse" showed, Anderson isn't quite the innocent old man that we saw in the 90s iteration of the show. His intentions may have never been malicious but his wartime SkewedPriorities border if not outright cross into the realm of criminal negligence, with civilians and soldiers dying while he's concentrating on fixing a pipe. And since divine deities have been shown in the series in the form of angels, Jesus Christ, and God, Beavis and Butt-head being in Anderson's life was ultimately decided to be lifelong punishment for Tom Anderson for his irresponsibility.

[[WMG:Todd died sometime during the 24 year time skip from 1998 to 2022 and that's why he's subject to ChuckCunninghamSyndrome]]
He's a violent criminal and probably suffered both OffScreenKarma and KarmaHoudiniWarranty in all this time, either being killed by a rival gangster or in a violent confrontation with the cops where Todd thought he could get away with either fighting or running from the police. It makes sense for a rough, violent person like Todd to live by the sword and die by the sword after all.

[[WMG:The David Van Driessen we see in the 2022 revival isn't the one we knew in the original series]]
He's a Van Driessen from another universe who's somehow ended up in this universe. More specifically, he came from a universe where Beavis and Butt-Head never existed or at least he never met them. That's why he looks so well preserved for his age, and more importantly, doesn't seem stunned to see Beavis and Butt-Head are alive and well after having presumably died over 20 years ago, or that they don't appear to have aged at all in that time. As for what happened to the Van Driessen we do know about; he either died, moved away, or retired.

[[WMG:The Andersons somehow also travelled through time]]
Both Tom and Marcy look exactly the same as they did in the '90s, even though by all rights, they should be close to if not outright in their 100s. It might be because they aged that well...or it might be because they somehow got zapped into the future too. Due to their dementia, neither are fully aware of it and are still operating under the assumption that they are still living in the '90s.

* A universe set in a past time, like medieval times, ancient Greece or the time of cavemen.
** Or going back even further, the time of the dinosaurs. The episode featuring this universe could even be like a Road Runner cartoon where raptor versions of the duo try to catch prehistoric versions of other characters but fail everytime because of their stupidity.

[[WMG: We'll see more of the multiverse]]
It would be interesting to see what the rest of the Beavis and Butt-Head multiverse is like. Some possibilities include:
* A universe where Beavis and Butt-Head are somewhat dumb, but nice individuals.
* A universe where the X-5 unit was detonated and all that's left of America is a barn wasteland.
* A universe where the main duo are dead and we see how the other characters are getting along.
* A universe where the main duo either started a band or became members of a band they love. Maybe Gwar or Metallica.
* Maybe we'll see what Smart Beavis and Butt-Head's lives are like.

Mike Judge has confirmed Buzzcut will return in season 10, and we have yet to see Principal [=McVicker=] in the 2022 revival. During the time skip, [=McVicker=] retired and chose Buzzcut to be his successor.

[[WMG:Beavis and Butt-Head are being monitored by the feds]]
While the government agents that chased them throughout ''WesternAnimation/BeavisAndButtHeadDoTheUniverse'' realized they were not aliens, they did find out that the boys survived getting sucked into a black hole and time traveled from 1998 to 2022. Furthermore, they encountered versions of the duo from an alternative universe who are super intelligent ([[DitzyGenius to an extent]]) with untold knowledge of the space-time continuum. These facts all point to Beavis and Butt-Head being key components to a lot of scientific data not available anywhere else in the world, which would make keeping them alive the best way to glean more research out of them. They weren't just given their old house to buy their silence; the Pentagon is outright observing Beavis and Butt-Head ForScience

She could possibly return as an author of her own book series and will be shocked to see the duo haven't aged a day. And since B&B are now [[spoiler: in 2022]], it's been at least 20 plus years since B&B's 90s era concluded and Daria's own series has ended. And since Daria ended her run with ''WesternAnimation/DariaIsItCollegeYet'' and hasn't really gotten anything resembling a revival outside of some articles penned by Glenn Eichler under Daria's persona, she can legitimately show up again because it's safe to say by 2022, Daria's Lawndale years are ancient history to her and the writers won't have to be too worried about the revival contradicting her series anymore.
