Fan Request: Mike Judge's Beavis & Butt-Head Neighbor | Letterman

Fan Friday Request:
"Hey big fan!
I think I'm like a lot of Dave fans when I say some of the most entertaining interviews were when Dave was engaging as a real fan of the guest. There was one time in I think '94 when Mike Judge is describing his neighbour taking apart a car and does his best Butt-head '... now it's like a truck' which leads to Letterman exploding with laughter. Would love to see that again if you can dig it up.
Thanks!"

Mike Judge is a comedic genius, and Dave certainly recognized that.

[@vinceniederman]

I Love How Mike Judge Makes David Letterman Laugh So Hard at Times😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆

[@flyjarrett]

Kelly Robin Wilcoxen next, please!

[@Carrollavirus]

Fun fact: David Letterman’s is the voice of Butthead’s father in Beavis and Butthead Do America.

[@benttwisted210]

Well said!

[@user-dc4ux4lw2t]

I’m 62 and still laugh at Beavis & Butthead!! 😂😂

[@squanto2]

Likewise

[@RawKnee1111]

I'm 66 and I do too.

[@davidcohen2322]

70 here.

[@EldenRink]

64 here!

[@dukeallen432]

Pretty one trick.

[@johndavis3921]

Out of the 33 years of Mr. Letterman's interviews, I still think "Now it's kinda like a truck" is the best-unexpected line in TV history. It is bizarre absolutely bizarre. I love it.

[@kevinlakeman5043]

Yeah, I'm riding w/ ya on that one.

[@kevinc5771]

Letterman loved it too

[@jklstewart]

@@kevinc5771 Yeah, he really cracked up at that. You're doing pretty good to get a sincere laugh from Dave like that.

[@sleightofmind2016]

Everyone in B&B was someone from my childhood. I was hooked from the beginning.

[@scotttucker9613]

I like how he integrated the neighbor and thin walls story into Office Space.

[@toeey1]

Youre right, I dont know how I didnt see that

[@segon4147]

Profound!

[@adamcoe]

Peter man turn on channel nine, it's the breast exam!

[@PelvisPresley420]

They say if you wanna be a writer, write about what you know. Although technically that would depend on the individual. A smart or talented writer can write about anything.

[@IsoscelesKramer]

That's where I thought that story was going! 😆

[@ibanezleftyclub]

One of the absolute greatest writer/directors to have ever existed. Office Space and Idiocracy are some of the most brilliant satires ever filmed.

[@jaysicht1862]

Silicon Valley (now streaming on Max) is an excellent series, too.

[@chemicalbrother7613]

It is a shame that this kind of interview is so rare: directors and writers are the people behind creating an actual cultural code of any generation. And it is so painfully short. Thanks for posting anyway! P.S.: Dave's laughter here is at his Norm McDonald level)))

[@truantray]

Late night is now a parade of pretty vacuous actors.

[@TraitofSiNN727]

Mike Judge is a very smart man.. his film Office Space is a cult classic.

[@doderiolarkisso4038]

He's a smart man indeed, he graduated with a bachelors degree in physics.

[@ilyatsukanov8707]

And every year his film Idiocracy seems to come closer and closer to being a documentary.

[@ernestcruz6316]

Way back when, Mike was the bass player for the blues band Anson Funderburgh & the Rockets. He's on at least a couple of the albums they recorded for Black Top Records.

[@IDontBuyIt50]

when he tells the story about being in church, his priest voice is just like the "Butthead in awe" voice. It is the promised land Beavis

[@tomhamby118]

Thank you Mike for a great comedy. And you too letterman for sharing in that fun. You're both great.

[@tommyt1971]

“Huhuhuhuhuh… now it’s like a truck.”

[@VCT3333]

Dude has a degree in Physics, played Bass with Anson Funderburgh and the Rockets, made an iconic series of Cartoons, does music history deep dives, creates wonderful TV series, made Idiocracy which is probably the most prescient satire of 21st century, Office Space another cult classic... Just an unbelievable talented smart person. BTW, he will never admit it but Beavis and Butthead are based on Anson Funderburgh and Doyle Bramhall.

[@richatlarge462]

Thanks for the background!

[@SOLOHeyman]

Mike Judge is a fascinating guy. I’ve listened to a lot of his interviews on KZbin and Podcasts. Also, his commencement speech at UCSD where he graduated from with a degree in physics. I admire how he had a future in front of him that would lead him to success but unhappiness and he choose not to settle for less. Instead he left his job at Silicon Valley and began animating.

[@jeffreymacintyre2711]

heee heee... laughing all the way to the bank!!!

[@pyronixe]

Not sure if I ever seen Dave laugh as hard as he did at <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="222">3:42</a>

[@bossfan49]

Oh yeah.... listening to Norm MacDonald tell Bob Uecker stories. He was doubled over his desk.

[@pyronixe]

@@bossfan49 I heard Norm & Artie tell those on the Stern show.

[@roddydykes7053]

Yup just Norm would do it also, but I think this one really surprised Dave lol

[@somejackball]

i knew there had to be a Albuquerque connection to B&B.. every time i watch it i feel i'm watching something connected to Breaking Bad

[@jgrey8959]

Huhhuhh...I am the one who farts

[@roddydykes7053]

Badger, Skinny and Combo had some inspiration from B&B no doubt

[@provy1kanobi673]

I was in the audience for this....the only time I ever went to dave....I remember they had this Christmas song performer.... and no joke they played it 10 times....before the show during breaks and live for the show

[@jessieeyy908]

Pure genuine comedy

[@eezyclsmooth9035]

The "Genius" himself. I saw him 1 time on "Howard Stern". Stern asked him to do the "voices". Just when he was about to start (and I couldn't wait) Stern Would NOT STOP bumping his gums. I was PO'd.. I really wanted to hear Judge and NOT Howard ! (he never got to do the voices)

[@vinceniederman]

My Stepdad Loves The Way Mike Says “Take This and Eat It”😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆

[@ryanschwartze6517]

Father and Son together, aka Butthead and his father.

[@user-gn9vu7wn7t]

Mike Judge in a way resembles his creations, I mean this in a good way. Those cartoons are amazingly funny to this day!

[@alanwuyts6141]

I love the laugh of mr Letterman

[@ImpulseScooterTeam]

Great cartoon. I Love all the episodes. Hilarious.

[@zacg_]

Love that Letterman was enough of a fan that despite his massive popularity he still agreed to do voice work in Beavis and Butthead Do America.

[@npxmnpxm]

Here's a fan request: circa early 90s interview with a spelling bee champion. Dave had a great zinger that was something like "Can you spell 'attitude adjustment'?"

[@phillramirez8323]

😂 Well he wasn't lying about that 78 Nova🚘

[@clownbasher2911]

Top 3 reasons why Dave is a legend. He likes the work of Mike Judge, Seth MacFarlane and Matt Groening! 🥰

[@clownbasher2911]

South Park also belongs in this list!

[@doctordave]

You would not believe how often I think about "...now it's like a truck", still 30 years later.

[@penguin44ca]

We need to talk about your flair.

[@Kylefassbinderful]

I had like 3 binders full of Beavis and Butthead trading cards lol

[@daleva187goligo]

I had a scratch and sniff one of a dumpster lol or was it their messy bedroom lol idk maybe both, it was so long ago, but it stunk hahaha understandably

[@ricenglish4556]

Letterman obviously know what's funny. The new Beavis and Butthead's are awesome. Mike Judge has not run out of ideas for scripts.

[@joescambait]

OMG Time fly's .. Can't believe this is 30 years ago

[@jamesmurray3128]

Letterman could easily be the 3rd friend of Bevis & Butthead.

[@kyledavidson8712]

Dave is so amazing

[@bc1969214]

This could be how Earl Hofert got a job in that Beavis and Butthead movie.

[@thegodofpez]

Beavis and Butthead fan for life! 🤟

[@scottbaxendale323]

Who could have imagined that Mike Judge would have predicted Gym Jordan and Matt Gaetz.

[@KungEMuller]

Now, that's funny. Dave, thanks for introducing the world to Mike Judge. Also, thanks for introducing the world to Beavis and Butthead.

[@doderiolarkisso4038]

"uuh huh-huh..now it's like a truck"

[@ShibaMomma143]

It doesn't get any better than this. ❤❤❤

[@PelvisPresley420]

This is what Mike Judge looked like in his prime btw

[@zachw2538]

he's got johnny depps face on hunter s thompsons head.

[@NGA-PLZ]

Mike Judge Presents: Tales from the tour bus is good also

[@Stallionsound]

Mike Judge used Beavis and Butthead to introduce the world to Ween who inspired Stephen Hillenburg to create Spongebog so in a round about way, Spongebob (among many other great things) exists because of Mike Judge

[@freeborncanadian]

That's the point, there's not much to understand. I did like their MTV heavy metal video reviews.

[@ColKorn1965]

Sounds like my dad's best friend, Big Bad Bob

[@rawkguy4896]

Mike talks just like Mark Tremonti

[@MrDeathcheat13]

Hill of the king!

[@ultrakool]

later he was a real stickler for flair

[@antonywilson4539]

Letterman could eat a sandwich through a squash racket.

[@weaksignal8009]

It's Earl Hofert

[@oaw972]

I live in an apartment next to a crazy guy.

[@thomasladders7481]

That was cool.

[@magicspiral3323]

One hundred million dollars in merchandise worldwide and one dude gets sentenced over providing free Beavis spray paint art on sterile city property

[@snodebbs]

That was cool

[@kevinlakeman5043]

Most gut-wrenchingly uproarious idiocy of its time. Ding-dong Ditch, The Mall w/ the fountain thing (technical term), and most anything dealing with Van Driessen or Mr. Wilson.

[@jeffreyphillips7312]

I grew up with two guys who were literally Beavis & Butthead. Shocked to see it the first time, it was like they had come to life in a cartoon

[@user-vh6uc7fi6y]

Settle down Beavis

[@PelvisPresley420]

I'm also a very big Ozzy fan so I would of turned around also

When Judge did Butthead at the beginning, why are the idiots in the audience screaming and yelling?

[@rodbelding9523]

Mike Judge with hair doesn't look right lol

[@therealxunil2]

He’s not wearing any flair.

Nope alive and well! 😁

Huh huh

I was in High School when that show came out

[@Tommyr]

I love voice actors, did Dave ever interview Billy West?

[@bbb462cid]

When Chuck Older died, I was honored to have a commemorative image I created in his honor sent to his widow. In addition to being a Marine, and and AVG and USAAF pilot, the Honorable Charles H. Older was the Presiding judge at the Manson trial. He was also my first hero. Rest in Peace Chuck.

[@the406seadonkey6]

Mike Judge is a genius.

Hey

Sadly, if they ran for political office today, either B&B guy might get elected.

Beavis is a Mexican since republicans don't score

and they'd do a better job than either of the choices currently offered

It would be funny if Mike Judge sued NBC over that Saturday Night Live skit

[@bossfan49]

What would be funny about that? (also, I don't think he'd have a case given the nature of the show)

[@AR-ed3xw]

I didn't laugh at all the jokes, but I always laughed! Now, King of the Hill, that's always a favorite for me!

[@kstepko]

I was a teenager during the era of “Beavis and Butthead” and I couldn’t stand them - but I loved “King of the Hill” and “Office Space” is still one of my favourite movies.
