synopsis
Who better symbolizes the joy and warmth of the holiday season than Beavis and Butt-Head? Before you answer that, you might want to take a look at this video in which MTV's teenage terrors parody two classic Christmas stories. In "Huh Huh Humbug," the Ghosts of Christmas Past, Present, and Future try to teach Beavis the meaning of Christmas (predictably, he'd rather be left alone to watch porn videos), while "It's a Miserable Life" has Charlie the Guardian Angel showing Butt-Head how much better off the world would be if he had the common decency to do away with himself.
