“Back in the 1990s, Beavis and Butthead existed at the bottom of the IQ barrel. They once rocked out to a particularly loud section of Radiohead’s Creep, but otherwise thought the song sucked, they completely missed the not-terribly-subtle message of Henry Rollins’ Liar, and they thought the Beastie Boy’s Sabotage video was a trailer for an actual 1970s cop movie. Today, society appears to have fallen to Beavis and Butthead’s level. How else can you explain a world where “It’s So Cold in the D”—a poorly executed video built around a terrible song, sung off-key—is an Internet meme with over 3.6 million YouTube views? And even the likes of Beavis and Butthead are laughing at, rather than with, it? In fact, when they critiqued The Jersey Shore, it was painfully clear that Beavis and Butthead are actually Snooki and The Situation’s intellectual betters. It’s really a stroke of genius on creator Mike Judge’s part essentially to merge the themes of his dystopian opus “Idiocracy” with the Beavis and Butthead revival. Once upon a time, Beavis and Butthead were imbeciles perpetually confused by life. Today, they represent a new normal.”

Even Beavis and Butthead understand ‘It’s So Cold in the D’ is hilariously awful | MLive.com
Interesting point about the (excellent) new episodes of Beavis and Butthead, though I thought that part of the joke of them watching “It’s So Cold In The D” was that it was on their level and they understood it, as opposed to making fun of it.
