Peace, Love, and Understanding (MTV's Liquid Television, 1992)

Mike Judge's second Beavis and Butt-Head cartoon. Just like Frog Baseball, this was made in 1992 and first shown at Spike and Mike's Sick and Twisted Festival of Animation, before airing on Liquid Television, and finally as an episode of Beavis and Butt-head's first season.
MTV edited out the following things:
Butt-Head sniffing glue
Butt-Head's "Happy Boy" impersonation
the phone number displayed in the TV commercial
Butt-Head asking a woman if she would like to sniff some glue
the use of the trademarked name "Hyundai"
several fans giving Van Driessen the middle finger.
Sterculius's line "I am Sterculius, god of feces".
This is how it always aired: with some or all of these edits.
The unedited version was only available at Spike & Mike's, and on a home video they released on VHS in 1992. Anything circulating online with all those scenes was sourced from that tape.

And immediately give him his due respect as a deity, to the point where Beavis can only get out a scared half-chuckle.

I remember sneak-watching this with my older brothers when it came out. They're nine and six years older than me, they had cable and a VCR/ recorder in their shared bedroom. I'm so thankful for everything my brothers included me in and exposed me to, being under 10 at the time there was so much going on that I wouldn't have been clued into if not for them. Great times. I wish I could experience another lazy weekend in their room with them on that terrible free mini sofa, watching live or recorded shows and playing Super Nintendo together.

Do you notice how the illicit drug use was a footnote?

[@wh1tewolf4]

It wasn’t a pilot. The studio bought a few shorts from Mike Judge to show on Liquid Television. After the show was cancelled, MTV approached Mike Judge and bought the rights and asked him if he’d like to help with 60+ episodes. It took some lawyers and lots of money for Mike Judge to get back the rights to the show. He was only able to get 50% back.

[@ABlueyFan]

Finally, I get to see the epic liquid television episode of our boys at the monster truck show. First time. Saw others. Just gets better with time. I swear. I can kinda see where some of the minor characters here gave visual cues to the cast of King of the Hill.. In fact you might even argue that because this is a prototype episode, those could very well be the familiar cast from the sibling show with how little they changed overall. This is awesome to see as an adult so many years later. If nothing else, this is one of the things in my life that hasn't gone sideways or faded out.
