Beavis and Butt-Head

Hilarious in Hindsight in this series.
  • The 2005 MTV Video Music Awards, in which the boys pop up from time to time, urging viewers to put them back on the air by voting for them in the MTV Viewer's Choice Award (not realizing they're not a voting option). Their first revival show would show up within six years.
  • This poster released several years ago (as part of Huh Huh for Hollywood) was more or less realized with "Holy Cornholio", the fourth revival episode.
  • The scene where the duo fry a mouse in Burger World is this in light of the scandal at KFC with a piece that resembled a fried rat.
  • While watching the video for "It's Five O'Clock Somewhere" by Slash's Snakepit, Beavis and Butt-Head see Eric Dover (of Jellyfish) and immediately ponder "what happened to Axl," thinking it's a Guns N' Roses video. As it would turn out, the situation with the real Guns N' Roses would become quite the opposite.
  • Beavis was twerking long before Miley Cyrus made it cool.
  • "BUTT SCRATCHER!"
  • Two nerds in "Patsies" debating what would be better: Making Data human or giving Geordi sight. Geordi would gain sight via cybernetics in the TNG movies.
  • Apparently, Beavis and Butt-Head joined the Me Too movement before it even existed.
  • This line from Butthead when they watched the music video of Faith No More's "Epic":
    Butthead: I wish I had an eye in my hand. That would be cool.
  • In "No Laughing", Buzzcut, who's teaching sex ed that week at Beavis and Butt-Head's school, gets in Beavis and Butt-Head's faces and screams the names of various reproductive parts and topics related to sex. In the second episode of Judge's next show, Peggy is hired to teach sex ed and struggles to so much as mumble those words in private, let alone scream them.
  • In their critique for Korn's "Blind," Beavis has an incredibly unhinged moment where he makes himself dizzy and starts giving this incredibly articulate (for him, anyway) review of Korn's music, unfavorably comparing it to other bands from the time like Suicidal Tendencies and White Zombie. It's strange to think that Korn were ever seen as derivative, since history has firmly solidified them as one of, if not the, pioneers of Nu Metal, for better or for worse.
  • During "Holy Cornholio" Beavis, while under his Cornholio persona, becomes the head of a cult and demands they get him all of the toilet paper they can find. To obtain it, the followers go to whatever lengths they can, such as stealing it from a grocery store and even somebody's cart. Come 2020 when the COVID-19 pandemic meant that there was a shortage of basic supplies, including toilet paper.
  • During the second Christmas Episode where it shows a world without Butt-Head ever being born, it shows how plenty of people would be better off. Specifically, Beavis is kinder and more mature with a bright future (albeit his interaction with him leaves him somewhat corrupted). A later Robot Chicken skit showcases Beavis as having a successful life after he cuts Butt-Head out of it and is soon corrupted again once he reunites with his old friend.
