Back In ‘95 when this was new….
Watching the commentary on the wonderful Director’s Lab Spike Jonze DVD…
On Wax’s “California”, the infamous video where the man is running on fire. Loomis, bassist for the band, pointed out that this video was released at the Height of Beavis & Butthead, and right after MTV had to put a ban on the character’s signature freakout of yelling “fire! fire!”
So the show producers had to the characters watch the video, and Beavis turn red from holding it in, and eventually pass out from the over excitement of seeing the guy run on fire for the entire video.
Hilarious.
