The first two seasons and movie premiered on Paramount+ before episodes later aired on Comedy Central. The trailer shows the three iterations of Beavis and Butt-Head. Still teenagers, they attempt to buy Metallica with gold bars. Butt-Head gets some dental work that exacerbates his exposed gums. As middle-aged men, Beavis gets a chest tattoo that reads "Dumbass." Butt-Head reads it in the mirror as "sad mud." Later, Beavis hurts his neck banging his head and asks, "Why did we used to do that?" A scene of middle-aged Beavis with his shirt pulled over his head suggests he once again turned into his alter ego Cornholio. Also, "smart" Beavis and Butt-Head from the parallel universe return to the Earth where their counterparts live.
