And so this version of Beavis and Butt-Head comes studded with segments where the pair watch viral videos about, say, making your own prison tattoos, and breezily mock the accent of the idiot telling the internet how to do it. Three decades ago, those people joined bands. The people who most urgently need deflating are pompous and preening and utterly self-regarding. And, in fairness to Judge, this makes a lot of sense. Without the material provided to them by self-regarding pop stars, what could Beavis and Butt-Head possibly mock in 2022? The music industry has entered such a state of stasis that the biggest hit of the summer is a 37-year-old Kate Bush song that was shown in a Netflix programme about a girl running away from a monster.

It's not long before the duo will realise that a bull is not a cow, and that an egg fight will actually smash what you're after. For example, the Agriculture department needs you to milk a cow and collect some chicken eggs.
You have to collect check marks from each department before you are allowed to join a uni frat party, and each department head needs convincing before you can go. It's slightly more difficult than that other game but still on the easy side. When it comes to puzzle design, though, it's actually very good. It left a bad taste in my mouth, and that is entirely down to the poor base-note writing. Just a couple of oversexed teenagers harassing everyone - and everything - with mammaries.
No subtle statement on social structures or the class divide. No hidden indictment on gang culture or school heirarchies. Remove that, and all you're left with a couple of vulgar over-the-top reprobates trying to be funny. Like I said in my Virtual Stupidity review, I'm not exactly the biggest fan of Beavis and Butt-Head, but I do enjoy the subtle satire of that game and the movie that came out at arond the same time. With the exception of some well executed puzzles, it's an overall lesser, dumber, and more offensive experience. Even the animation suffers at times too, with stilted dialogue and often perfunctory sentences. The screens are now wider that your monitor which scroll when the cursor is placed near the edges, but the composition and staging look weird on occasion. It looks crisper than the first game with some nice 3D rendered cutscenes when you enter certain areas, but for the most part, the locations look a little sparse and unpopulated. Graphically, the game is a bit of a mixed bag.
