When Beavis and Butthead originally aired, the duo skewered the music videos on MTV. Parents groups hated the show, it was the stupidest thing on television.

When the show rebooted in the 2010s, there weren't enough music videos so they started skewering other MTV content: teen mom, jersey shore, etc.

It was amazing, because Beavis and Butthead were exactly the same, but as a viewer you realized that Beavis and Butthead were now the SMARTEST thing on MTV.

There's something to this. Not only did MTV stop playing videos, but shows like The Real World and Road Rules are the direct precursors to the reality TV movement that gave us things like Survivor and the Kardashians.

Real talk, the switch away from playing music videos actually legitimately impacted culture profoundly

Reality television ruined our culture. I stand by this.

Retrofuturism

The WGA strike of 2007-08 saw a brief increase in investment to reality TV shows one of which was The Apprentice, which spurred DT back into the pop culture sphere. I am fully confident in the belief that so much of what we're dealing with politically today would have been avoided if WGA members just got what they were owed.

I don't know what happened in the rest of the world, but MTV Germany started showing the kind of Anime that didn't fit the children's afternoon program of other stations in the early 2000s. That's how I got to know things like Ghost in the Shell.

Look up "ABC rage"

We are in the timeline where MTV stopped playing music, the White Stallions never formed, and Bill and Ted didn't write the song to unite all of humanity.

I think they might have overplayed Beavis and Butthead. Now we're living it

I thought the M standed for mmmmmmm lets do somthing else there aint nothin on the TV

Don’t forget what they took from you.

Those SSTs constantly blow out every window in the city. Seriously, there's a reason this picture never came to fruition. And it's because the FAA did a 6-month study of sonic booms in Oklahoma City, and that study was cut off after only a few weeks after citizens angrily called their representatives.

Wait a second. Where exactly is this airport located? Why is there air there?

How dare you.. Clone high and Undergrads were fantastic shows
