Twenty six years after they did America, Beavis and Butt-head are back again, and, like last time, their sole pursuit is to score. It is 1998, and through a series of misunderstandings, the moronic duo find themselves part of a NASA space shuttle crew, believing that their mission is to make it with shuttle commander Serena Ryan (Andrea Savage). When it comes to performing the real task at hand - a delicate docking procedure with the Mir space station - the boys cause untold damage and are booted into space by Serena.
After drifting for a couple of days, Beavis and Butt-head are sucked into a black hole and find themselves in Galveston, Texas, in 2022, where they encounter alternate versions of themselves from another dimension who inform them that unless they go back through a time portal, both of their universes will cease to exist. Meanwhile, the feds, who believe that 1998 Beavis and Butt-head are aliens, want to dissect them, and Serena, now state governor, tries to silence them so that no-one learns what really went down on the shuttle (uh-huh, uh-huh.... I said 'went down').
'...Do the Universe' is mostly puerile comedy, with the emphasis on innuendo, which is fine by me -- that is, after all, what I came for (I said 'I came' - Huh huh huh!) -- but after all the fun in space, the Texas-bound stuff feels rather uninspired and repetitive by comparison, with much of the humour falling flat. That's not to say there aren't a few solid laughs to be had along the way -- my favourite part (apart from my wiener, that is) is Serena asking 'Are you here to destroy me?' -- and the scene about white privilege is an amusing swipe at wokeism (the idea that Beavis and Butt-head, of all people, are advantaged because of their race is absurd), but there's a lot less funny stuff than I had hoped for - even the reappearance of Cornholio failed to crack me up.
5.5/10, rounded up to 6 for IMDb. Worth a one-time watch for long-time Beavis and Butt-head fans, who will no doubt enjoy the nostalgia, but unlikely to hold much appeal for a new generation.
