But why the **** Beavis and Butthead?

I mean, firstly, the show got old after a few seasons.

Secondly, the show was brilliant but only made sense for it's time period, and has no relevance in the modern world. It's outdated as hell, and can only be understood by people who grew up in that era, really.

Thirdly, can't we find new ideas?

Such a cheap nostalgia pull. It's a shame that TV executives won't give new ideas a chance. I've only seen a piece of the new episode, and really the only funny bit was when they were covering reality shows. The rest was just pointless fanservice.

Anyone else's thoughts

I definetly agree. You can't just swap out the pop culture topics and expect it to make sense now. The show was so deeply integrated into 90s culture that there seems to be no way to adapt it now. I personally was let down by the new episode but not by any means surprised.
