MTV raids their archives to bring back a taste of their glory days with a revamp of their '90s hit, "Beavis and Butt-Head." But instead of satirizing music videos (remember those?), this time around the troublemaking duo poke fun at popular MTV reality shows like "Jersey Shore," "16 and Pregnant" and "Teen Mom."

Creator Mike Judge (creator of "King of the Hill") blazed the trail for cutting-edge cartoon series with the never-aging high school buddies. The signature grunts and laughter from the two big-headed punks echo over bonehead moments like drilling a screw through Beavis' hand, starting a Cornholio cult and just being a bunch of butt-heads up to no good.

A sneak peek was premiered at the 2011 San Diego Comic Con, where devoted fans saw clips from an episode titled "Holy Cornholio." The series is set to air at least 24 episodes (at a scant 15 minutes per show), and Judge has promised that the beloved Daria will make a cameo in one of the episodes.

Hey, maybe the next time MTV dips back into their past, they can bring back the music videos?

Check out a sneak peek for MTV's "Beavis and Butt-Head":


"Beavis and Butt-Head" premieres Thursday, October 27, at 10 p.m. on MTV.
