But not ending a sentence with a preposition lead to a surprising grammar joke in "Beavis and Butthead Do America" which was one of the highlights of my early twenties.
It was really something magnificent to behold :)
If it was so good then what was it?
Yeah -- it kind of loses something when you retell it out of context, but I'll give it a go :-
See I am a huge grammar nerd, and I find grammar jokes, and dangling modifier jokes and so on, really funny.
But given the general level of humour in "Beavis and Butthead" I wasn't expecting this sort of joke, and it entirely caught me by surprise, and made me laugh for five minutes. I just thought it was far funnier and far better than most of the humour in the film.
Yeah, okay. Maybe it's just me.
No that's pretty awesome
