Settle a disagreement between DH and me.

[staceyobu]

I say girls don't like the show. He says I'm too big a nerd to appreciate it.

[charcat13]

I thought it was funny when I was a teenager. Haven't seen it in years but my husband and I still make cultural references to it.

[Snow]

Definitely lame. Not even when it was first out and I was a teenager.

[MomtoCandJ]

Ugh ranks with American dad, family guy, bob's burgers. Dh watches them and he lets dd if he is. I think it's all stupid

[Arcadia]

Hubby finds it boring too. He is a geek nerd though :)

[Parrothead]

That is the dumbest show.

 

I get why it is supposed to be funny. It just isn't.

 

I do love the original 3 stooges

[Alte Veste Academy]

Hate it. And I love Family Guy and like American Dad (though they do make me groan at times).

[bodiesmom]

I thought it was funny when I was a teenager. Haven't seen it in years but my husband and I still make cultural references to it.

 

Exactly this. :-)

[BakersDozen]

"Stupid" is not even the word I would choose for that or any other show like it. Could you put a poll option that is worded a bit more strongly? ;) Obviously, you know which way I voted (although I only watched about 3 minutes of it once just to see what it was about; that 3 minutes was all I needed to feel like I needed to bleach my brain).

[Tita Gidge]

I'm a girl who has never seen it. I voted Other, but have had my curiousity sufficiently piqued.

 

I should've Googled it before I voted, because now I want to know whether it's horrible, tolerable, or stupid :)

[Desert Rat]

Beavis and Butthead are tolerable. I have to deal with certain shows because I married a man. The show I really can't stand right now is It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia. Ugh. Dh loves that show. I think it's mean spirited and dumb. And it's all dh wants to talk about somedays. Drives me bananas.

I think I'm definitely in for tough times with all men in the house. LOL

 

[SKL]

I do think it might be a gender thing. Boys and even men seem to like it. I find it cringeworthy at best.

 

But the funny thing is, sometimes I want to tell my girls (age 6) how their antics remind me of Beavis and Butthead. But I don't want to give them the context, so I keep it to myself. ;)

[Jenn121]

My husband and I met in 1993 and we would get together in the dorms and watch the Simpsons and Beavis and Butthead. So romantic I know. :laugh:

 

Our cat is named Beavis.

 

Nowadays........It is not fun with out my hubby. I bought him the episodes on DVD but they do not have the B&B doing the music video commentary and that was the funniest part! Watching it without the music videos is not in anyway as much fun.

 

ETA: Finish my thought and make a complete sentance. LOL I am tired.

[nmoira]

I loved the opening scene from the movie. Other than that... not so much.

[Shawna in Texas]

I find it a bit more than tolerable. I like it when they're in Spanish class and I love watching the music video parts. I discovered Ween from them. :tongue_smilie: I love their Radiohead Creep clip.

 

DH on the other hand. *sigh* He's had a 20 year crush on Mike Judge. Luckily for me, most of the stuff he's put out since then has been brilliant.

[Donna]

I think it is stupid.

[LaxMom]

Stupid. My husband - not a girl - also thinks it's stupid, if I recall correctly, but appreciates that stupid is the point of it.

[Kalypso]

I could never make myself watch it. I saw the first couple of minutes a few times and that was as far as I could go.

[Cinder]

I think it's stupid, my dh thinks it's stupid, and even my 2 ds's think it's stupid.

[dsmith]

I thought it was funny when I was a teenager. Now it's just stupid.

[brookspr]

Sorry, I think it's hilarious. But I've always enjoyed guy humor. When I was in my 20's I had as many girl friends as guy friends and we were always goofing around, playing pranks, and doing stupid stuff.

[Lady Florida.]

I think it's stupid. I was well into my adult years when it came out so maybe that has something to do with it. Also: I hate The Three Stooges, can take or leave The Simpsons, and think Family Guy is funny most of the time.

[Orthodox6]

Everybody in my household, both males and females, consider this show intolerable and offensive. We don't watch it. (Voted "other".)

[Ellie]

Stupid.

 

But they do have a funny laugh.

 

:laugh:

[Mama Geek]

I think it is stupid and my dh would rather have a root canal than to have to watch it.

[8circles]

Worse than stupid.

[BarbecueMom]

I watched it growing up. Tolerable. It wasn't a favorite, but I didn't hate it. Still quote it sometimes. I loved Daria, though. How stereotypically female of me.

[Word Nerd]

I think it's both hilarious and stupid.

[Hwin]

I like Simpsons and Futurama.

 

I liked South Park for a little while but stopped watching after the Christmas anti-Christ abortion episode.

 

Do NOT like Beavis and Butthead, Family Guy, and a few others along the same lines.

 

I tolerate American Dad because it has Patrick Stewart in it and because I only want to punch HALF the characters in the face.

[Unicorn.]

I say girls don't like the show. He says I'm too big a nerd to appreciate it.

 

 

My husband didn't like it either. And he's most certainly not a girl.

I guess we see too many stupid people IRL, for garbage like that to be funny.

[somo_chickenlady]

I think it is funny, but I also like South Park and Family Guy (don't like Simpsons.) Beevis and Butthead started I think when I was in high school, and I have watched it from the beginning.

[Guest inoubliable]

I thought it was hilarious as a teen. In fact, my ex and I left our junior prom early to catch the B&B movie in the theater.

[charcat13]

Just remembered:

 

Anytime I would threaten my older stepbrother with telling our parents he was up to something he'd start chanting, "Breaking the law, breaking the law!"

[MissKNG]

Just thinking about Beavis and Butthead makes me feel dumber.

[Bug's Mom]

Hilarious. Keep in mind that dh & I owned a small guitar shop at the time....so we were surrounded by real-live Beavis & Buttheads every day. Some we laughed with, some we still laugh about. One gave us a phrase that we still use today: "Dude! Black is a badass color!"

[bobbeym]

I thought B&B was funny when it first came out. I'm sure now I'd only find myself suffering through DH watching it, which thankfully he does *not*. I do suffer through American Dad episodes though.

 

Futurama and Bob's Burgers are a huge favorite in my house. I don't even mind The Simpsons too much, although I'd have much preferred my kids never have seen it.

 

South Park and Family Guy aren't watched in our house anymore b/c DH was very strongly against their anti-Christian story lines recently.

[staceyobu]

Beavis and Butthead are tolerable. I have to deal with certain shows because I married a man. The show I really can't stand right now is It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia. Ugh. Dh loves that show. I think it's mean spirited and dumb. And it's all dh wants to talk about somedays. Drives me bananas.

I think I'm definitely in for tough times with all men in the house. LOL

 

Haha. We have quite a bit of It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia watching going on around here too.

 

My DH would also like to recommend Trailer Park Boys to your DH. Have fun! ;)

 

edited to add... I feel very vindicated by this survey.

[wapiti]

Stupid. Though, I do get a chuckle remembering a guy in law school sitting next to me in contracts, giggling and muttering, "heh, heh heh, he said _______, heh heh" (fill in the blank with whatever the professor said)

[Shawna in Texas]

Haha. We have quite a bit of It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia watching going on around here too.

 

My DH would also like to recommend Trailer Park Boys to your DH. Have fun! ;)

We watched the Trailer Park Boys the other day. We laughed so hard. We love It's Always Sunny. One of DH's text tones is Charlie screaming.

[MtnMama]

I'll admit to being amused by Beavis & Butthead. And I love Daria! I also like The Simpsons, Family Guy, American Dad nd South Park. I draw the line at Tosh.0 though.

[nmoira]

Heck, Shakes the Clown is one of my favourite movies. Who am I to judge? :D

[misty.warden]

I'm a nerd, but I don't see what that has to do with whether or not it's funny. My SO thinks it's hilarious, he likes SpongeBob and Ren and Stimpy too and is nerdier than I am. I say it's in the same group as those two, Adam Sandler and Will Farrell movies. I'm not a body/rude humor person in general though.

[Dandelion]

It's not just stupid, it's stoopid.

[Word Nerd]

I still say it's a false dichotomy. Why can't something be stupid and hilarious?

[Robin M]

Stupid just doesn't cut it. Beyond icky, annoying, stomach turning, hold nose, breath through my teeth nauseating.

[Mrs Mungo]

Stupid is not a strong enough word, but that is what I voted.

[Mrs Mungo]

I still say it's a false dichotomy. Why can't something be stupid and hilarious?

 

 

Good point. Stupid *and* unfunny *and* vile would come closer to describing my feelings.

[nmoira]

I still say it's a false dichotomy. Why can't something be stupid and hilarious?

 

 

It can be, but then it's rather brilliant in its own way... like Dougal in Father Ted.

[Bug's Mom]

Heck, Shakes the Clown is one of my favourite movies. Who am I to judge? :D

 

Yes!

We have a hard time finding people who've seen that movie. I always suggest that if they're going to watch it that they do a mini Brady Bunch marathon first...

[Rebel Yell]

OTHER! I'm a girl and I think it;s both hilarious AND stupid!

 

I'm assuming we're talking about the old shows- they're nto remaking this are they? O.o

 

DH & I will sometimes quote the show- a favorite was when it was a bitter cold day and we were pushing Gramma's wheelchair uphill so she could watch her great-granddaughter in a parade. The shortest. fastest way to where we needed to be included jaywalking- so I told her to hang on tight as I took off running diagonally across an (empty at the time- I'm not stupid!) intersection while shouting "Breakin' the Law! Breakin' the Law!"
