The Brothers Grunt is actually a pretty cool show, if you give it a chance. You just have to let it grow on you. Even Beavis and Butthead took some getting used to at first - the way they laughed was really annoying in the beginning.

I'm surprised how everyone seems to violently despise TBG in this newsgroup. C'mon people, open your minds - you have to have the courage to change (oh God, I'm starting to sound like Bill Clinton). After watching the same Beavis and Butthead episodes umpteen thousand times, a new show like the Brothers Grunt is like a breath of fresh air. It's kinda fun to learn all their names and identify them, as well as their unique grunting noises. When Frank grunts, he acts constipated and bites his lower lip. Tony just kind of "aahhhs" and "ohhhs" and sounds moronic in general.

In my opinion, the progression from Beavis and Butthead to Brothers Grunt is very logical, in an evolutionary sense of things. Think about it - the premise of Beavis and Butthead is that they're stupid, illiterate, etc. It's only natural for their successors to go one further, to out-stupefy the already stupid. Thus we have the Grunts - they aren't just post-literate, they're post-verbal as well. They make Beavis and Butthead look like intellectual giants.

My only complaint with TBG is the quality and selection of music videos that get played. Whereas Beavis and Butthead videos are usually watchable, Brothers Grunt videos are esoteric to the extreme - I don't recognize 80% of the songs.

So, like, free your minds, or something! Uh, lose your hangups. Whatever.

Beavis & Butthead took NO getting used to. And their laugh was never, and still isn't annoying.

Change is good, but Brothers Grunt are as enjoyable as the snow when my cable goes out.

On the contrary, the only thing I DO like about them, is their apparent stench.

Those idiosyncrasies are entertaining, but not NEAR as lasting as B&B's laughs.

No need to think, There IS NO evolution beyond Beavis & Butthead, they shall never spawn, and their bloodline will not pass. Long live Beavis & Butthead.

Beavis & BUtthead ARE intellectual giants, and they don't even know it. The Brother Grunt are merely walking instincts, as intellectual as flatworms. (Actually, that's not such a bad thing)

Good reason to drop them.

Uh, yeah, like, my mind is free, and The Brother Grunt and stealing time away from my MTV, Bring back the banned Beavis & Butthead episodes, then, ONLY THEN will I even look at one more Brother Grunt sniffle (yep, they're not even episodes)
