Beavis & Butthead: Hard Cash [VHS]
They're ugly, stupid, rude, crudely drawn, and absolutely mind-numbing--which has always been the source of Beavis and Butt-head's appeal.Hard Cashcollects eight cartoons in which the killer Bs are out for cash (though, unfortunately, none of the Burger World episodes are included).  If this were any other cartoon, the plot summary of any of the episodes here would be: Beavis and Butt-head get jobs, hilarity ensues as they try to fit in.  The, er, genius of B&B; is that hilarity never actually ensues--in fact, not much of anything ensues. There's a bunch of butt jokes, a lot of semipubescent giggling, and the rampant mundaneness of everyday existence in a dead-end life, which is why the series was one of the best send-ups of television this side of Chris Elliott'sGet a Life. Collected here, they tend not to work as well, though; without the--dare we even think it?--ambition that heldBeavis and Butt-Head Do Americatogether, a themed collection of episodes lacks any real cohesiveness. It is always nice to see MC 900 Ft Jesus' video for "If I Only Had a Brain" make an appearance, however, and B&B;'s transfixion by the song's infinitely catchy hook is one of their finest moments.--Randy Silver
