What We Think

Beavis and Butt-Head Do America is about as far from woke as a film can get, reveling in stupidity and satire with no preachy undertones. It aims for laughs, not lessons, making it a nearly non-woke relic of the '90s.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The film strongly favors its signature crude humor and absurdity over modern identity politics. Characters are idiotic, regardless of gender or race, and no identity-driven casting or storytelling is present. Narrative integrity is intact, at least within the context of Beavis and Butt-Head's satirical world.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

This film doesn’t set out to make statements about masculinity, tradition, or family values, if anything, it lampoons everyone equally. There’s little evidence of undermining cultural cornerstones, aside from the general mockery aimed at all authority figures (which has been the joke since day one).

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

Beavis and Butt-Head are too dense to hold any ideology, let alone enforce an ideological monoculture. The film doesn't villainize alternative viewpoints or promote a woke consensus. It’s one big, dumb joyride divorced from any meaningful ideological messaging.
