In terms of cultural differences, there’s a segment on a college campus where the boys are introduced to the concept of white privilege, which they take not as an indictment but a permission slip to act even more immediately on their instincts. Besides, if they became aware of how easy it is to access pornography in the year 2022, there would be no way to move the plot forward.) (True to form, they remain largely unaware of its potential because that would involve learning something new. The movie thankfully avoids going through a laundry list of technological differences with which to flummox the displaced ’90s teens mostly it focuses on their sort-of discovery of smartphones. Still, the B&B style of humor presents some challenges in 2022, which Universe sometimes embraces and sometimes ignores. As in the first movie, they’re on a quest to lose their virginities (or, in the parlance of their times, to “score”), which, as before, various government officials mistake for something far more nefarious. Eventually, this leads to them getting sucked into a black hole, and popping out in 2022. The movie picks up in 1998, shortly after their show’s 1997 end: When Beavis and Butt-Head (both voiced, as ever, by creator Mike Judge) are sent to space camp in an attempt to rehabilitate their general delinquency, they are improbably recruited for a real mission. Like a lot of the classic Beavis shorts, it’s all predicated on a misunderstanding - a steadfast and mistaken belief that these two eternally snickering, muttering, horny teenage boys must be concealing hidden depths. In between the sci-fi embellishments, the movie has set pieces in such exotic, far-flung locales as a porta-potty and a motel room. Like The Simpsons in its fifth season, it does indeed send its dull-witted protagonists into space - and, unlike The Simpsons (as far as I know I’m not current on the last few seasons), it also gives them multi-versal doppelgangers, smarter versions of the boys who urge them to do their part to save the universe.
