Both games have fun, pointless, minigames you can play at any time, that really don’t do much except showcase the characters through their antics. Both games use icons to represent conversation topics. Both games have you controlling one character (Butt-Head in this case) while the other follows you around. It should be pointed out that Virtual Stupidity owes a whole lot to Sam & Max Hit The Road, beyond the obvious use of two main characters.

Similar trading, and making creative use of free items, are the staples of this title.
Even the show episode “Party” followed standard adventure game logic – B&B want to throw a party so they get money, buy cheap leftover doughnuts, trade the doughnuts to a bum for some “hard stuff,” and so on. You’ll have to use standard adventure game logic to break out of school, hang out at the park, hang out at the Food Mart, hang out at Burger World, turn Beavis into Cornholio to solve a puzzle, and occasionally, attempt to impress various chicks with your eloquent mastery of language.Īn adventure may seem like an odd choice for a Beavis and Butt-Head game, but it actually works out extremely well in terms of mechanics. The quest takes you to eleven locales around Highland, most of which will be familiar to fans of the show. The overarching plot is that B&B are trying to join Todd’s (a stereotypical Texas hoodlum) gang, and are going through various initiation tasks to win his favor. Virtual Stupidity is a standard point and click adventure game starring the two lifelong pals. After sitting through the twentieth joke that starts out pretty good, but replaces its punchline with some variant of “shut up, dillhole,” you’ll start wondering if beating your meat actually would be a more productive use of your time. Trying to hold on to one storyline, spread out across a continuous adventure, widens the inherent flaws in their humor. Do America wasn’t bad, so I know they can handle longform comedy, but this game definitely suggests that part of the appeal of Beavis and Butt-Head is in their brief, disconnected, five minute episodes. “Stretch” is exactly the right word for it, too.

Virtual Stupidity takes elements of the show and tries to stretch them out across a full adventure game. Unfortunately, that’s almost exactly what the first game is. It wasn’t just a bunch of disjointed scenes of two animated teens acting like jackasses. It got a bad rap for being 30 minutes of moronic, delinquent activity (okay… mostly true), but there was also some real wit, and deserved shots at the “establishment” in there during the best episodes. I loved Beavis and Butt-Head when it was on, and am provisionally excited that MTV has opted to bring the show back.
