STOP
If a school has to resort to fucking TH-cam sponsorships, it's not even trying to hide it's mediocrity
I don't know why you put Flapjack over Ren and stimpy adult party cartoons, you could have released the video again but cut the mis adventures of Flapjack and put Ren and stimpy adult party cartoons instead, the reason, Flapjack changed animation to this day, Ren and stimpy adult party cartoons on the other hand don't at all.
Has a sponsor spot for a college
"College in America kids, it's a scam"
Hmmmm today's sponsorship seems oddly personalized.
Conner calling Alex by his actor's name (Gregory) from MTV downtown while showing a screenshot saying his name is Alex and then showing a the clip where his name is shown on the pillow is killing me.
same lol
It’s weird now because MTV doesn’t even have music anymore
Sorta but not really. it was a novelty for the time they did it but since then streaming music videos became more common place alongside the widespread use of the internet. they needed to branch out to stay relevant.
Though still calling themselves MTV is a bit strange since they don't focus on music anymore.
Who the f**k even watches cable anymore
Back then if you wanted music you watched mtv2.
Ohh really
😢nope 😠
Daria was just so relatable because she was basically like me. For good or for worse. Shoutout to Beavis and Butthead for being the first reactors
They didn't give that last cartoon a
Chance.😂
Flushed it down the toilet before
It cause find it's full potential.
"Reactors"? Like Mystery Science Theater 3000? They did it first.
Beavis & Butt-Head were to music videos what MST3K are to old cheesy movies. The worst they can find (la la la!).
@@nehemiahpouncey3607 did it get canceled???
technically the first animated show on MTV was Liquid Television, which beavis and butthead and aeon flux both debuted on.
I thought the reason he didn't cover Liquid Television was because it was a multimedia show, only some of it was actually animated. But I do wish it had been included, there were at least a few other animated shorts in it besides Beavis & Butt-Head and Aeon Flux that were actually worthwhile.
Although I guess another reason it's not included is because it's a b!tch and a half to find all the episodes.
I adore Daria. It definitely has it's problems though. It didn't adopt multi-episode long arcs or character development until way too late but each episode is still outrageously funny.
It actually wasn't supposed to. It was a slice of Life show.
The fact you had to explain MTV makes me feel old as hell
Here in Latin America, MTV used to show cartoon series such as South Park, the original Ren & Stimpy, Happy Tree Friends, alongside the original shows they produced. They also showed an original cartoon made in Argentina, which actually started as a web series made in Flash, Alejo & Valentina. I also remember that weird cartoon called "Sex Police" and Popetown
Yeah they did that over here in Germany as well. Also a lot of Anime like Visions of Escaflowne and Hellsing. It was a great time to be a teenager
@@lori-EL here in Latin America, the only anime that was shown on MTV were those based on Marvel characters, I remember catching a glimpse of the Wolverine anime once. Curiously enough, MTV was pretty close to an anime channel in my cable provider list, that channel being Locomotion, which not only hosted anime shows like Evangelion and Cowboy Bebop, but also cartoons like South Park and Ren & Stimpy before MTV got the rights. Locomotion eventually became Animax and some years later anime became rare in the channel itself and it was rebranded as Sony Spin
HTF on MTV?
@@Anonymous-oh4xw yeah, MTV Latin America used to show Happy Tree Friends shorts during commercial breaks like 20 years ago. I actually have a weird anecdote, when I was around 10 or so years old, back in '04 or '05, I went to the doctor and in the waiting room there was a television that had MTV on it and that was the first time I saw a HTF short, and they showed it in the morning. Sometime later MTV began showing HTV as a show in the afternoons on saturdays
@@pablocasas5906 Yikes!
In Downtown, The Nerdy Character's Name is Alex. Gregory is the Name of Alex's Voice Actor.
At almost 47 years old, I still enjoy Beavis and Butthead.
Yeah me too. B&B holds a special place in my heart.
same, I'm 39 and I'll love it for the rest of my life. My dad let me watch it with him when I was very younger, so it has sentimental value to me since he is no longer alive.
@@Trailblazer162 When I was 14, I didn't have cable. I had to watch it at friends' places or have them tape it for me. My sister ended up getting the entire series taped for me when they did a marathon before they cancelled it orginally.
WASHIN THE DOG WASHIN THE DOG
Beavis and Butthead Do America is free on TH-cam. I’ve watched it like 5 times in the last couple weeks lol.
Fun fact: Spider man the new animated series was animated by Mainframe studios, the same company that created Reboot along with Beast Wars: Transformers, and scary godmother films as well.
Ultimate Armor X pfp spotted
@@BinglesP yes but the version of it is the anniversary edition/X challenges Ultimate Armor which my most favorite alt version of the ultimate armor for X. 🔵⚪️
@@UltimateDragonX9999 I know, I've played a lot of XDiVE before. It's a great variant.
As soon as you said scary godmother, the cursed animation made sense
"I'm the great Cornholio! I need TP for my bunghole!" Lol 😂
Beavis & Butt-Head premiered when I was 9 or 10, and was truly life changing stuff. Liquid Television was something I already watched when I shouldn't have, but B&B really grabbed me by the nads. Still one of my favorite shows to this day.
I never watched Beavis and Butt-Head but I kinda want to
Same. I was way too young to be watching them. I was in maybe second grade watching them, and the weird crap like The Head, The Maxx, and Liquid Television. Years later I think my favs were a great goofy talk show hosted by sock puppets called Sifl and Olly, and Cartoon Sushi which was pretty much Liquid TV part 2
@@TheBrotherGrim I think my first exposure to MTV might've just been a couple years ago when I randomly found Ridiculousness. Now me and my family just put that on whenever we want some nice simple laughter
@@TheBrotherGrim Sifl & Olly was THE BEST! I covered a handful of their songs!
@bigjalapeno7061 Ha, nice! I haven't thought of that one in a while. It was a favorite of a really good friend back in the day. Always makes me think of him
( 13:49 ) I remember how crazy to see Aeon Flux on TV since she wore an outfit so revealing that it would made Pamela Anderson in Barb Wire looked tame.
You forgot Liquid Television, which Aeon Flux originally aired as a part of! Lots of weird animated shorts during that block. Winter Steele left the strongest/weirdest impression on me as a young child who was absolutely forbidden from watching MTV, mainly because of Beavis and Butthead and Madonna.
Thank you. The lack of Liquid TV in this video was very conspicuous to me.
I'm surprised Liquid Television wasn't covered since it was where some of these shows originated (Beavis and Butthead, Aeon Flux, etc). Especially since it predates something like Cartoon Sushi and had a similar format.
That's what I said. It pre-dates B&B and Aeon. It would be the first I would think.
Props for having 3 South on. Still a top 5 for me after all these years. I remember getting a VHS off eBay of the unaired episodes that was definitely dubbed from the master tapes 😂
TH-cam randomly recommended a channel that uploaded all episodes VERY recently (including the unaired ones in bad quality) , I loved the show as a kid and was one of those I was always waiting to come back but it never did. had some good laughs again.
I love Beavis and Butthead's humor.
Back when MTV actually had good stuff and none of that Ridiculousness crap! ☠️
💯
It always on 24/7
Facts!
Beavis and Butthead had its first run. Then MTV brought it back in the 2000s for a couple of years and then Paramount plus aired another Beavis and Butthead movie snd started airing new episodes on Paramount plus so there on revival number 3
MTV Celebrity Deathmatch was my favorite show growing up in the early 2000's
Ended up watching all of daria a while back since i was curious. I was a senior in high school like her by the end of the series, and while there's a lot of episodes I could care less about, my overall opinion is that it's good, daria felt pretty rounded as a character. Loved this video!!
Bruh Spider-Man has always been mainstream, he's one of the most recognizable and iconic superheroes of all time. That isn't a recent thing
Wasn’t really the same, I mean think about it that show was pre SM2 and most people I knew at the time thought the first one being good was a fluke
@@backwardsbrainslabs.148 he was still an icon of pop culture before that, he always has been. What you're referring to is the fact that CBMs weren't considered all that good before SM1
@@razorwing360 the show was launched by a CBM it has a direct impact on how it was regarded at the time and people probably had very little faith it would catch on, and being recognizable and iconic doesn't mean you are regarded well or are respected by the mainstream
@@backwardsbrainslabs.148 i'm not talking specifically about the show, I'm talking about the character itself
@@razorwing360 seems irrelevant to me to discuss if it doesn't relate back to the show
I will say I find it interesting that Tom Anderson was originally going to be Hank's dad
Video has only just started and I have no expectation for this, but if by some miracle Usavich made it on to this list, that'll be next-level respect from me.
I went to elementary school with a kid who WAS Beavis. He looked and sounded like Beavis and had an equally dumb friend with brown hair, and they quoted the show constantly. I think one of them is a banker now.
Cool! Hehheheh!
I don’t look like beavis but i can do his voice - one time i was hanging out with a friend… he made a ren and stimpy reference, i asked him about that and we got talking, he also liked beavis and butthead, he could do buttheads voice . So we sat there doing the characters voices.
Huh… I just got a thirty minute ad for a mobile game and it shifted from English to Japanese without subtitles. I actually watched a third of it
At least Beavis and Butthead had ties to music so it gets a pass imo. Also I find it hilarious even today and I’m almost 27 years old.
Wow, didn’t expect a GenZer would be down with B&B. Explains a lot of the many brain cells us GenXers and millenials lost in our childhood lol
Aeon Flux and Beavis and Butthead were first introduced on Liquid Television. So that would be the first animated show wouldn't it?
My college life was never the MTV Undergrads/Spring Break stereotype. I've graduated from 3 different schools, each with a different study. Two of them were on campus, my last one, IBM was online. And yes I'm still able to have a job and live on my own. It's only a scam when the administrators don't help the grads to find a career with their efforts (my first being Mid Florida Tech, yeah not helpful). But Valencia and IBM are good.
I kinda miss the days of Celebrity Deathmatch and Bevis & Butthead. Both shows were so dumb but really entertaining at the same time.
back when Beavis and Butthead came out I was in the tail end of 5th grade and when our yearbooks came out, every kid who put Beavis and Butthead as their favorite show found that it had been changed to Ren and Stimpy because the school considered Butt to be a swear word.
Surprised you didn't mention Liquid Television; it was an animation showcase sort of in the vein of Cartoon Sushi, but even weirder and more eclectic (Aeon Flux actually started as a series of shorts on it, in fact). It predated Beavis and Butthead by a couple years.
Just so you know the "The Maxx" section should probably have an photosensitivity warning. I almost had a seizure watching it.
“Beavis that waffle is talking about us again”
“Shove it back into the toaster then “
Heheheheh!
Oh man, Bevis and Butt-Head was a phenomenon. It was one of the most popular shows on MTV. I think the best way to describe it is like if there was a cartoon show in the movie Idiocracy (which was also created by Mike Judge). Just two idiots doing dumb stuff. I liked it but Daria was way better and that one actually has aged remarkably well. I would recommend everyone to Daria
He showed a little bit of Brother's Grunt, but didn't even mention it. It was even made by his boy! I also dont remember him mentioning Liquid Television.
That Brothers Grunt clip was from Cartoon Sushi, which is where they were first featured. Also yeah he didn't mention Liquid Television.
@@lostinthemasses yes, that was my point. Thank you
Yeah he didn't even talk about the brothers grunt, I think that show needs more appreciation since the animation was great in that show
*I didn’t grow up with MTV since I was born in Russia but I remember a time turning on the television on our school trip to US I was shocked since then I couldn’t get enough until my mid 20's.*
Good Vibes, Beavis & Butthead, Aeon Flux, Daria and Clone High were my all time favs. Even though they weren't always good shows, MTV did have better animated shows then Comedy Central with the exception of South Park & Drawn Together.
I remember watching aeon flux on mtv when i was 6 years old. I never understood anything that was going on, but I'd still watch it anyway.
I love games but I don’t wanna make games
You dont have to.
I’m glad others are remembering that liquid tv exists
I still like Beavis and Butthead and Daria to this day.
You forgot The Brothers Grunt. That was like a fever dream.
He covered that as part of Cartoon Sushi.
I loved Beavis and Butthead, Daria, and Celebrate Death Match
Beavis and butthead is my favorite show ever not kidding
MTV has the most kickass entertainment around the 1990's even classic 1980s music videos.
Until this generation came and it sucks but luckily ViacomCBS brings back the MTV logo with the T gone longer
and Beavis and Butthead returns with a vengeance. Now, my generation is back better than today's. Also Liquid Television,
Beavis and Butthead, Daria, Celebrity Deathmatch and Aeon Flux were awesome. I wish if artists like from Cartoon Network to
make coolest newer cartoons to bring back our generation. GREAT VID, MY MAIN MAN! WE GOT OUR MTV BACK THANKS TO YOU!
23:06 the reason why Hanson and mason are put against each other is "you get what you give" is mentioned at the oitro
Those weren't random guitar sounds that Beavis and Butthead were making. Those were actually real songs they were rocking out to. Aerosmith-Walk This Way.
Edgar Winter Group-Frankenstein.
Black Sabbath-Iron Man.
(This was how I discovered Black Sabbath)
In the '80s MTV was called Music Video. in Australia. Later on, it became MTV. it was simulcast with 2MMM FM. Sydney radio station.
Where's Liquid TV? It was animated but its not on the list. Talk about a show made for high people!
A few people mentioned that in the comments. What is that?
@@bigjalapeno7061 Liquid TV is a super weird mixed media sketch series. Its an MTV classic. Its all on youtube now. Its kind of a hard watch, honestly at least for me.
@@RedDogRichard2112 Oh ok. Thanks
Craziest part about this is seeing the damn Jedi Order shredding out.
daria definitely spoke to me the most. i bought a boxset from a bestbuy bargain bin and rewatched the whole thing years ago. but the maxx was really something special.
Cannot mention The MAXX without the IZ (the eyeless insane moronic smiling very dark blue things) being the building blocks to the future of pop culture underlings and weirdo creatures, like the Rabbids (Rayman series) and Minions (Despicable Me) heavily draw inspiration from the IZ from both the comic and animated show of The MAXX.
Also UnderGRADS Cal is the unsung hero of random wisdom mixed in with his "Hey Guy" catch phrase.
The cartoons were the best part of what we used to call mtv.
there was a time in the early 90s that ren and stimpy ran on mtv, it was around the same time beavis and butthead first air its first season. these were not the adult party ones by spike though, but the original episodes that also aired on nicolodeon
I rarely do this, but... as former kid who grew up on MTV (plus Nickelodeon, also VH1, HA!, basically all of the MTV Networks offerings), as well as a former employee of Viacom (the owners of MTV, now known as Paramount Global), the algorithm recommended this video due to it my habits. And I very much enjoy these kinds of docs, either by those who were there at the time and being reminded of the past, or seeing it via fresh eyes from someone who wasn't there at the time, and cuz thus provide a more objective/critical viewpoint, without being blinded by nostalgia.
And... I cannot recall the last time I stopped the video so early on (at the 3:40 mark to be precise) and literally rushed to delete it from my watch history, to make sure no other videos from the account are recommended. Like, I know the excuse is going to be that this is not supposed to be taken as some historically accurate account, "it's just one person's take" (which we all know is total bullshit, an excuse that is peddled by all kinds of bad actors who thrive on the benefits of misinformation) but even in such instances SOME baseline research is standard procedure.
tl;dr Beavis and Butthead was not MTV's first animated offering my dude.
B&B literally birthed two more shows.
It’s a shame MTV doesn’t do cartoons anymore, Daria is so cool 😊
18.1.24
a little info on aeon flux, Peter Chung, the creator, was an animator of Rugrats for a long time. he actually created aeon flux as a creative output out of frustration in how stark in contrast his work with rugrats was. edit: just realized you missed the rugrats part of his work lol, kinda important considering it was were he was coming from at the time.
I remember staying up late to see if Aeon flux would live. Liquid Television was an event. Back then we only had Loony Tunes. She died a lot, It was kinda traumatic. Times were different
I remember watching all of the Maxx. Loved it and Aeon Flux
Technically Liquid TV came first. That is where Beavis and Butthead premiered.
M TV was so cringe honestly glad that only 90s teens grew up with it. Like it was aimed at teens that had terrible parents…
Beavis and Butt-Head and Daria are simply the best.
Robin got its own series after this.. was aired at a non-existent channel anymore called Locomotion in Latin-America
Me: sees the title and thinks "Huh. What an interesting find. I'll watch it later."
Also me: F*! I gotta say it! I passed matric, baby! I passed!
Also also me: Whenever I hear MTV, I think "Ridiculousness".
You left out liquid television, it was like cartoon sushi but in the late '80s early 90s.
Oohh yeah Aoun Flux. Peter Chung animation has such an odd and mesmerizing animation style.
The fact that Daria was on Noggin is wild.
It's always a good day when Conner the waffle uploads :)
Daria was television’s first hipster, and the show dug at the soul of Gen X more than anything else before it-or after, really.
P.S. I never noticed this back then, but Celebrity Deathmatch had a real Mortal Kombat-esque vibe to it.
I was only 4 when Daria first aired on tv I watched it with my older sister and with our cousins I have the dvd collection box set and still watch them to this day
I wish they still made episodes and such showing Quinn’s life since Daria’s been away at college and if Jake and Hellen want more kids etc….
when it comes to Polish mtv in Poland, almost everything was with a
voice-over only one cartoon was dubbed, maybe because it was Polish
I remember celebrity death match! Good times. Thank God I'm not the only one who remembered that show
I remember a short cartoon called “Migraine Boy”. Yeah, guess what the catch was 😅
You brought up cartoon sushi, but no mention of Liquid Television? The progenitor of Aeon Flux? When it was watchable because nobody spoke
That Before and After episode in Downtown sounded too relatable to me. Though, I didn't get a S/O at the end, I couldn't really throw away all of the remnants of my childhood, especially the silliest knickknacks that hold sentimental values.
I almost forgot MTV did a Spider-Man show i hated it after two episodes
Another fact about Wonder Showzen: The creator of the show(who also played a blue puppet) is a writer of South Park & voice of Towlie
I watched Bevis and Butthead when I was 3 years old with my dad. Even I knew the stunts on TV were just stunts not to be used in real life.
Fun Fact: the first time I found out about the Maxx was during a guest appearance in an issue of, of all things, Sonic Super Special.
Girl: Baby, what do you want from me?
Me: 8:39
Great video. But you forgot Liquid TV. Arguably MTV's most important animated show--
I'm surprised you didn't mention the showcase which started it all....Liquid Television
Liquid garbage?
Oh man I miss this era so much
Good ol Liquid Television
The maxx was amazing. I loved watching it and reading the comics.
Yo Wtf.
It's so weird hearing someone online talk about New Hampshire. No one ever talks about us.
NH gave us The Queers and GG Allin, that's probably why
Seriously wish they never rebooted clone high, it was an amazing show but the reboot is some of the most god awful shit, clearly made for a "modern audience" rather then the people who originally enjoyed the show.
The Maxx is the best comuc adaptation of anything ever. Is almost a complete shot for shot remake. I still have all my first print The Maxx comics
ok this is driving me crazy, what is the song at 24:42? I have heard the tune before but I can't remember where it is from
here in Brazil we had a show inspired in south park that aired on MTV in the early 2000's that cartoon was called Fudêncio (the main character's name, you can't translate this literally, but it would be like someone name is Fuckerson)
Can’t wait for Connor to mention how The quantum ranger in time force is the voice actor of Virgil from Devil may cry
MTV was kinda ahead of it's time with their animated shows I remember watching Beavis and Butt-Head along with Daria when I was a kid in the 90s lol.
That spider man show looks like a modern cheap 3D mobile game
MTV2 had Wonder Showzen too, which was almost like a pre internet meme/sketch compilation
Thank you for the trip down memory lane! I really enjoyed this. And just to let you know how old I am without saying how old I am, when I was born, there were only 48 stars on the flag!
Beavis & Butt-head Was my Childhood
I'm pretty sure Beavis and Butthead sprouted most of the cartoons because they all give off a vibe of them, and they even started a spin off show
