It's not uncommon for teenagers to think like that. They are transitioning from children to adults, so they want to appear to dislike things like Beavis and Butthead and Pokemon so other people think they are more mature.

And then once you become an adult, childish immature stuff like Beavis and Butthead and Pokemon suddenly become funny and cool again.

C.S. Lewis has a great quote about that. I'm sure you know it.

My god, I hate people my age, I honestly think I'm the only 13 year old guy who hates Beavis & Butthead, I get all the jokes, it's just ridiculous and over the top. And you guys call me immature. I've never seen worse.
The link just goes to the main page. :?
I'm 26. I love beavis and butthead. It's a satire about people who are actually that dumb. That is why it's funny.
Yeah, way to miss the joke. Ridiculous and over the top? What do you expect, it's a cartoon show.

But back on topic: yes, I hate people your age. I was never your age, because I knew better than to pick such an obnoxious age to be. I just went straight from 10 to 16. The abrupt body change was surprising, but it worked out overall.
I was born an adult. Anyway, op, I think you might be a bit too young to fully appreciate it. Which means your friends probably are laughing for the wrong reasons. Ah, youth.

I feel sorry for your mom. And your dad, now that I think about it.

I have always found "adult" humour to be incredibly inmature.

See now I thought Beavis and Butthead was funny too. I haven't seen the new stuff, but the old was definitely making fun of stupid people. Conversly I don't think I cracked a smile at all when I watched Kung Pow with friends a few years ago. I'm also convinced that Aqua Teen Hunger Force causes brain damage and the only people that like it have had part of their mind damaged. This includes one of my best friends.

But hey, different tastes. Also puberty makes people suck. I know I was a jerk on occasion in that period.

I think what makes Beavis and Butthead work is that it's so shamelessly immature and dumb. It doesn't even remotely try and pretend it's anything more than that.

As a fan of the 1993 original, I am loving these new eps of B&B. I think it was wise to not mess with the presentation and the feel much, and I like how they got ever so *slightly* more intelligent in the 14 years they were gone. Riffing on the MTV shows helps too :lol:

People are way to serious. The show is intended to be dumb, and it is. It bothers me today to see all these kids that are like "Beavis and Butthead is so dumb and stuff", then turn around and watch Jersey Shore. People just seem like they know the difference between having some goofy fun and being immature.
