I really didn't miss anything of value by never listening to that, did I?
If you can't appreciate an hour-long bit wherein Eric Clapton repeatedly states a desire to shrink someone down and put them in his ass or become very large and have someone go into his ass and in either case control him with an array of wires and levers like some sort of giant robot then I don't know what to tell you
If you have an appreciation for Beavis and Butt-Head, you kinda did.
For me, a lot of the entertainment value of Beavis and Butt-Head was how other characters reacted to them as they wandered around being dumbasses.
I don't know if I'd enjoy Beavis and Butt-Head just sitting together and exchanging jabs nonstop.
It was 3 funny dudes kinda working on jokes and sometimes it didn't work and sometimes they'd land a huge hit and it was the dumbest funniest thing. It was kinda like being a fly on the wall in a comedy writing room and you get to hear all the bits and not just the stuff that made it to broadcast. A "warts and all" experience.
Like the idea of a stereotypical east coast Italian dude who has depression but he can't admit it because of machismo so tells his therapist he's "self-pissed." That bit had me dying of laughter when I was dealing with my own demons and was in denial about getting therapy. I was working outside in 113 degree heat and I was laughing so hard it made me light headed and I was like "lol please don't let me die of heatstroke because I passed out listening to this stupid fucking podcast."
There's some super cuts you can find on youtube that have the best bits. Probably the best way to experience it.
It's got some truly hilarious bits and it's definitely become sort of a time capsule for the years it was going on, but there are also some bits that I have a very hard time with despite being generally hard to offend.
It is funny at times. Their takes aren't always terrible either. It is extremely offensive though.
Gay Michael Douglas at the bottom of the sea having sex with crabs will never not have me dying of laughter.
