Last weekend, I had the honor of meeting one of my comedy inspirations Mike Judge (Beavis & Butt-Head, Office Space, King of The Hill, Idiocracy) at an advanced screening and Q&A for Extract starring Jason Bateman (known forever to me as David Hogan from The Hogan Family and some other underappreciated family sitcom from the 2000's which name escapes me at the moment). Anyway, apparently The New York Post asked Judge the same thing I thought to ask, and since I didn't think to bring a tape recorder, I'll let the NYP take all the credit:
NYP: "Beavis and Butt-Head" went off the air about 10 years ago, meaning the guys would be in their 20s now. What do you think they'd be up to?
Mike Judge: I kind of think of them as being either 15 or being in their 60s. I wouldn't mind doing something with them as these two dirty old men sitting on the couch. In between then? I don't know. At one point, I thought Butt-Head might do OK on some really low-level sales job. Beavis might be landscaping.
Ummm that would be awesome. Huh huh huh. YEAH! YEAH!
(P.S. Now I wish I had asked Mike Judge to say my favorite Butt-Head quote, which got me through junior high: "I noticed you have braces. I have braces, too." I'm such a fartknocker!)
