Beavis Quotes

The burden of originality is one that most people don`t want to accept. They`d rather sit in front of the TV and let that tell them what they`re supposed to like, what they`re supposed to buy, and what they`re supposed to laugh at.

The dialogue is delightful. I simply sit and giggle and laugh all the time.
