Mike is laughing deep inside thinking "This dude looks like Butthead"

[@fz2088]

Haha, you're right.

@Noah Patterson Mike Judge agrees with liberal ideas, that's why he's critical about it, he's just healthy about how he goes about it.

[@mrwrister]

There are two things I hope for after watching this video. 1. I hope Vice has terminated the person conducting the interview. 2. I hope he is now gainfully employed and doing something that he excels in.

[@MrGimmethreesteps]

I just hope vice goes out of business and no government ever tries to revive them.

[@macdaddymandalorian7305]

i actually met mike judge.hes really cool and down to earth got his autograph

[@Envious122]

Lucky!!!

[@outsidersfan4life]

Lucky!!!

[@Sinic818]

vice hires some of the most punchable people.

[@Melanie3581]

ThePtownPlaya 😂

[@douglassfunnie9959]

Agreed

[@RockandrollNegro]

They have a checklist for interviewers: -Twitchy -Nervous -Aspbergers/Autist -Douchey -Hipsterish

[@FredDubnah]

More dedicated than the presenter though.

[@crapconnoisseur6691]

lol he reminds me of Stewart

[@robertslydell6990]

Mike Judge is a genius. If I could, I would personally thank him for having the balls to quit his engineering career and make a big bet on himself with his animation. Without that, we would have been deprived of a lot of laughs.

[@outsidersfan4life]

Exactly! Same here!

[@AmariMarvelous]

Without B&B you wouldn't have shows like Southpark(although The Simpsons predate B&B by a few years) and other popular shows that was influenced by it.

[@onceagain77]

Man it feels good to be a gangster.

[@johnnythunders968]

I can hear every character he has ever played in his regular speaking voice

[@kelleycondon6504]

king of the hill to this day is one of the most wholesome tv shows i watched as a kid

[@crash0033]

Mike Judge is beast. King Of The Hill all the way! I pray he brings that back, it was great.

[@MsEliteForever]

He hasn't

[@64manxman]

I love Mike Judge, seems like a chill dude

[@johnspinelli9396]

That's what I was thinking. Seems like a really down to earth person

[@64manxman]

@@johnspinelli9396 I can't believe you replied to a 9 year old comment lol

[@johnspinelli9396]

​@@64manxman time don't exist on KZbin lol

[@jcbvortex22]

Sad Mike Judge doesn’t do movies any more. Office Space and Idiocracy are two of the funniest movies. Up there with Animal House and Airplane.

"Welcome to Costco, I love you. Welcome to Costco, I love you."

[@BogdanOfficalPage]

Beavis and Butt-Head FOREVER!

[@weirdjoker5077]

Beavis and Butthead would make fun of this interviewer...I can hear Butthead saying "What a woose!"

[@RenhoekAndStimpyMusic]

Uhuhuhuh That was Cool Uhuhuhuh

[@JavnaGolina]

Why does this interview have such awkward, closed body language? Folding his arms, keeping his legs close together...

[@movie0007]

It looks like both of these guys are totally uncomfortable being in front of each other.

[@AdamGen88]

Because the guy interviewing is awkward as fuck, look at him. Id be weirded out in his presence too.

[@joelatkinson2888]

I knew someone would comment about that. lol. It's true though. Hated this interview.

[@homosaur]

movie0007 - Part of the issue is the setup. They put two strangers on a couch sitting right next to each other.

[@JavnaGolina]

homosaur A professional interviewer should be comfortable talking to strangers.

[@in7687]

bring the 90s back

[@Designificance]

what a god awful guy who's doing the interview. Sorry vice but you can do better than this.

[@hellinterface6721]

VICE is just all boring lefty libtards and cucks. Mike Judge is god though.

[@greg77389]

No, they really can't do better.

[@amichick]

I love mike judge. 😘

[@Sperminski]

This man deserved a lot more than those measly 10 minutes you call an interview, be ashamed vice

[@bforthigh1617]

Mike Judge seems like a busy man.

[@EndangeredMooseknuckle]

Mike Judge reminds me a LOT of Hunter S. Thompson.. he's intelligent, looks slightly like him, and mumbles along just as Hunter used to. This is a good thing..

[@DanielleJames1823]

I watched all episode of beavis and butthead on MTV's and hell yeah I enjoyed my childhood

[@demonboy619]

King of the hill is what he should be known for.

[@kamsandwich6990]

i was a toddler watching beavis and butthead with my grandfather, before he passed away.

[@daniellee6883]

I grew up with Beavis&Butt-head. Thank you Mike for making my childhood so much fun.

[@DancingSpiderman]

There's a guy at the Albertson's across the street who looks exactly like Mike Judge... I think I'll pull a BnB or a Cornholio on him... see how he cringes

[@kellyl470]

He sounds so much like Butthead even though he's not in character.

[@internationaleden]

Mike looks a lot like Putin

[@TheRiboka]

Looks like Mark Knopfler 1:1

[@drServitis]

Yep, Knopler more than Putin.

[@RoundenBrown]

He looks like Cowboy Cerrone.

[@drServitis]

Who is Cowboy Cerrone? And why haven't I heard of him?

[@chadsorero3174]

god damnit bobby...if u werent my son id hug u

[@jimmyc6686]

The interviewer made this too aw3kward to watch...L9ve you Mike! Thank you for King of the hill!

[@Cuyt24]

I grew up in Albuquerque, new Mexico too!

[@collinbryson9449]

There's gonna be a new season!? Sweet!

[@SkinnyEMedia]

Mike Judge ought to get as much attention as Trey Parker and Matt Stone as well as Matt Groening and Seth MacFarlane in terms of adult animations!

[@socaldazed6076]

this is great for insomnia

[@DancingSpiderman]

SoCal Dazed haha god one.

[@danielgarber260]

Did you just have to throw out some hate randomly to Manhattan because.....hey this is Vice?

[@TS-qq7vr]

Stewart grew up to become an interviewer for Vice.

[@iancarter4196]

I too grew up with it in the 90s and loved it , still do. By the way, Huh Huh, I’m 69. I blame my so for it. Lol.

[@BigJoker]

Idiocracy is so great. They totally dropped the ball on promoting it.

[@skizzzle]

Mikes my animation idol. Screw all these anime guys.

[@Officialchristophermorris]

Rory R Me 2 man, me 2...

[@CornerBoothGames]

Rory R seems weird to insult an entire industry like that. Especially when the only modern advances in hand drawn animation these days are coming from anime creators.

[@09nedly09]

Does anybody else feel like Mike Judge could totally play Hunter S Thompson in a biopic better than Depp and Murray? His disposition is crazy similar to Thompson's. I don't know why I'm just now realizing this

[@ed0985587]

Holy crap man...I had no idea he was responsible for Office Space! That movie is genius!

[@DrewsAnimation]

If they ever do a comedic parody of the Crimea invasion. . . Can you make Mike Judge play Putin.

[@_JellyDonut_]

So glad I watch until the very end, all these years later and I finally learn that "chode" comes from chorizo

[@prodbyFderrick]

Weird to think Dave Filoni helped animate king of the hill.

[@TakeDetour]

The new episodes of Beavis and Butthead have our duo changing to much. I love that they skewered Jersey shore though. Bring back more episodes with them as they were left off the first time.

[@TheRosemontag]

He's my hero.

[@PrinceOpana]

VICE's Requirements for becoming a reporter/interviewer/music editor/columnist: 1. Live in NY or LA 2. Have that "socially-awkward-but-hip-young-adult-from-upper-middle-suburban-upbringing" thing going on 3. It's who you know

[@Rcinch1]

HUH! HUH! Beavis and But-Head's Dad Interviewed! No, he didn't do it with Beavis's Mom. ....but everyone else has! LOL!

[@userone211]

this guy sounds like a very intelligent version of Butthead

[@TrevorPhilipsBro]

For so long I had no idea office space and idiocracy were Mike Judge movies, and grew up watching Beavis and Butthead. Both great films.

[@CannabisReviewTV]

That Gaster Raps MY FAV. FUCKING PART!! Mike FTW!

[@newjerseydevilssuperfan439]

Fact: Mike Judge isn't just the Beavis and Butthead creator he also played the villain Donnagon Giggles in Spy Kids 2.

[@Beniscool950]

I feel this interviewers pain. I too have bad social anxiety and can't seem to stop it. Just the other day I had to do a presentation in my English class and when I got up to speak, I couldn't say a few words without losing my breath also my voice was very high pitched. It was painfully obvious the nervousness in my voice. I can't get rid of it cause it's a metal thing your born with. I'm not afraid of anything either I guess it's my bodys natural reaction to public speaking

[@Envious122]

That's good to know, THCBaked420. I mean, it's good to hear about what the interviewer might've been going through. Thank you for posting.

[@drServitis]

I failed my one required communications class in college because I just could not even show up for the required speech part of the class. Too nervous. Had to retake the class and forced myself to give the speech. Passed the class at least.

[@amd1273]

@@drServitis that was my biggest problem with high school. Hated speaking in front of the class. Didn't even bother showing up to class if a project involved speaking. My first semester of a business college I made the president list because it was pretty much all book work, second semester ended up being a ton of public speaking and I just couldn't do it, ended up dropping out. I've gotten better over the years but I'm not in positions where I need to do that

[@supremacysammy3173]

bring Beavis and Butthead back I want another movie of them

[@LeGiiTWillie]

Comedy Central has South Park, Tosh.o, Workaholics. MTV2 has Guy Code and Rob Dyrdek's many shows being re-run. SOMEONE PICK THIS SHOW UP AGAIN FAST. I feel MTV2 would have more rights to the music videos, but damnit, someone bring this show back. I'll even take Fox at this point. I just need this show back... AGAIN... AGAIN.

[@cliftonjames785]

What's up with the interviewers body language? He looks nervous and a bit lost. I have high functioning autism and even I can tell this guy is really bad at interviewing, he looks and sounds completely unprofessional and unconfident. It is vice though so that's pretty much expected

[@brendan25]

clifton james he identifies as an interviewer

[@lightyagami7734]

Mike judge has the coolest voice

[@Somethingdirty]

I've seen a ton of his stuff, and I easily heard Butthead in his voice than anything else.

[@jrjubach]

lol nice ending.

[@postaffe]

abrupt... i was really caught off guard when it ended and not in a good way

[@JeanMartinNainggolan]

I Am Cornholio, I need my teepee for my bunghole :))

[@gonstotwriter]

Beavis and Butt-head (note lower-case h and hyphen) is one of my guilty pleasures.

[@shwinger51187]

Maybe Mike Judge will glean inspiration for a character from this interviewer ...

[@oh5148]

they need a king of the hill rebboooott

[@thagrammarnazi]

4:41 Boggle.

[@jimreese-ym7th]

God bless Mike Judge! A freaking genius and legend!

[@ezrabrewer294]

I can hear voice remnants of his characters and it's oddly satisfying

[@capsparrow100]

I fucking love this guy i grew up with beavis and butthead, he also made king of the hill and he is the reason daria exists

[@claird4307]

Pleased bring it back ! Put it on KZbin shit I’ll pay to watch it

[@niganools1501]

My dream is to meet mike judge

[@shh-voices-voicesinmyear-t709]

bring Beavis and Butthead back, I'm always going to remember those guys

[@HD613YOW]

i never would have expected to see mike judge all nervous, but damn look at those hands at the beginning!

[@DWINC]

Thanks for all Mike !

[@yuelinli3527]

I thought he said my judge for a sec

[@TheDigitalslayer]

Did the host know knothing before and do a 5 minute quick research mike Judge before the interview and beavis and butt head said to himself'Iknow beavis and butt head, I got my material." Mike Judge was involved in so many projects, he's got Physic's degree! that alone can add at least 10 minutes.

[@dest151]

the dude is 29???? well then you were not around for the beavis and butthead.. you must of been like 1 lol

[@TekMoliGy]

idk im 31 and i was watching it since it came out. He could have caught some of the later stuff live and there was always plenty of reruns.

[@CornerBoothGames]

dest151 what? I'm 32 and grew up watching it. The original series ran until late 1997, so why is it so hard to believe that he watched it??

[@dest151]

yes, i see what you guys are saying, i made a mistake ...if he was born in 1984 im sure he watched it when it aired in the 90's ...

[@NarsieBoyENT]

Big up Mike Judge! respect to him for King Of The Hill especially. Funny thing is he kinda looks like Bill if he got rich and successful.

[@MinasK.97]

HE MUST BRING THEM BACK!!

[@mattparish4451]

Why are the vice guys always some weird incels?

[@BNASTYLW]

Yea, his interview on Alex Jones was great !! Judge is one multitalented dude.

[@demonboy619]

King of the hill is a way better show in my opinion.

[@ivorbigonee]

[@VRockVulture]

What new season are they talking about? The one that aired back in 2009 or 2011? Or was he planning another season during 2013?

[@lisazoria2709]

Everyone shitting on the interviewer probably couldn't do much better. I'm not saying he's great, but he's not THAT bad.

[@neverritt]

Lol at all of these tough guy comments ragging on the interviewer. Guy's still in his 20s, interviewing one of his idols, and frankly doing a good job at keeping the conversation going.

[@Landrew0]

I really hated the gangsta-rap in Office Space.

I often go back to the interesting interviews, like this, with people like Mike Judge because you can only take so many videos about drugs by VICE.

[@amphitheatre]

will there be a season 9?

[@xacealienx]

Butt head" "Huhuhuhhhuuh uh cool." Beavis: "hahahahhahaha ummm *fire fire*!!!!."

[@DJpopel]

"people in the entertainment industry are out of touch with the way people feel" Maybe thats because everyone from the producer to the actors are high on blow
