I take it Beavis and Butt-head wasn't really up your alley?

The few times I caught it I saw where they could have been a really great comic, or else broke new ground. Or really been funny.

They had one episode where a guy at some 7-11 wannabe convenience store was going to throw out some nachos with cheese sauce, and one of the title characters says how he really wants them, so, the proprietor, instead of throwing the nachos away, knocks all the roaches that were crawling on them off that the guy apparently never even bothered to look at the package before asking for them, and sells them to him!

I think most of it was them smirking at things, especially music videos, and then trying to make pithy comments. A weak and insipid - similar to my remarks here, only not as good - attempt to do a version of Mystery Science Theatre 3000 on music videos. But, like everyone here says about my comments, if you're going to try to be funny, remember Master Yoda. There is no 'try', there is only 'do' or 'not do'. Either do a good MST3King of the videos, or don't do it if you're not going to be funny. I think even Jonsey - or maybe it was Flack - did a "literal video version" of a music video in which the person sings, to the tune of the song, what is happening in the video, and did a better job parodying the video than B&B did of trying to MST3K a bunch of them.
