The best thing for the Beavis & Butt-Head Fan!, July 7, 1999
This review is from: Beavis Butthead Chicken Soup For The Butt: A Guide To Finding Your Inner Butt (MTV's Beavis & Butt-Head) (Paperback)
My God, I laughed so hard I cried. This book makes you keep reading and you can never put it down. It's like a comic book but it is a different kind of humor. Very cool. The best "Chicken Soup" book.

A Breath of Fresh Air...From the Butt, November 19, 1998
This review is from: Beavis Butthead Chicken Soup For The Butt: A Guide To Finding Your Inner Butt (MTV's Beavis & Butt-Head) (Paperback)
This neat little book is a breath of fresh air from the pedantic "feel-good" library of those irritating "Chicken Soup for the (FILL IN THE BLANK) Soul" books. I highly recommend this book those who have two or more of the aforementioned books. And if you sit down and think about it; who better to be sensitive to your needs and feelings than Beavis and Butthead?

Unapologetically Adolescent, May 24, 2006
This review is from: Beavis Butthead Chicken Soup For The Butt: A Guide To Finding Your Inner Butt (MTV's Beavis & Butt-Head) (Paperback)
I first discovered this book while browsing in the "bricks" rendition of Amazon's major competitor, and thought the premise alone was funny as hell. After all, the "Chicken Soup" movement had just gotten traction (and has since morphed into absurdity, with titles such as "Chicken Soup For The Hitman's Soul" -- just kidding), so it was a phenomenon ripe for lampooning.
I mentioned the discovery to my then-girlfriend and even requested it for a Christmas gift. Sadly, by the time she got around to buying it, it was no longer available. She even accused me of delusional behavior.
Reminiscing about her one evening led me to search for "Chicken Soup", and lo, it could be had as a used book. So good money was paid, and it was money well spent.
One could cite it as an example of a waning trend (Beavis and Butt-head) clashing with a rising trend (Chicken Soup For The Soul), and in my quite biased opinion, B&B won that battle.
Despite their limited vocabulary, B&B take apart Chicken Soup and pretty much the touchy-feely pop psyche movement as a bunch of hooey that people often preach but seldom practice.
Though a B&B book will never approach their "epichodes", especially the pre-commercial (that is, before complete MTV assimilation and de-lousing) stuff (e.g. "Frog Baseball"), it is acceptable to this B&B fan.
