No doubt. Me and my bros and my best friend would quote Stanley for years after we first saw the movie.

Man... it has been a long time since I've seen that movie. I forgot she was in it.

First saw Beavis & Butthead in Cinema, the Sick & Twisted Festival, I thought it was 1990 or 91. I heard a few years later it was on TV.
That's around the first time I'd have seen it. It was first aired on TV during Liquid Television. That's the same sketch show that had Aeon Flux cartoons in it too (I never saw the movie, but it starred Charlize Thereon).
Liquid Television was a lot stranger and darker than The Idiot Box was, focusing more on the surreal than on comedy. Even though a lot of the visuals were cool, I always thought I was missing something when I watched it that you wouldn't be able to get unless you were tripping on acid or something.
I never did LSD, and truth be told the idea of synthesized drugs like that still scare the crap out of me. I did mushrooms twice. I hated it the first time, and after doing it the second time to make sure it wasn't just a bad trip I hated it even more because I felt like I knew better. Too bad I didn't think to watch something like Liquid Television while I was on them, since I doubt very much I'll ever be doing it a third time.
IMHO you've got to just be extremely bored in real life if psychedelics are your drug of choice.
Do Right, Be Right. :)

After UHF Fran got her own TV show. I was glad for her.
And Michael Richards got on some TV show about neurotic Jews in New York. He had been fantastic, outstanding on Fridays, but I was happy for him, even tho he couldn't really showcase his talents anymore.
The first time I saw UHF I fell out of my seat at least 4 times. Once when I finally got my eyes open I was lost and everything was black - I was sprawled sideways on the floor of the seat row. At least once I had to look around to see if I was the only one laughing, and every face I saw was in uproar. I had to see it at least 3 times before I felt I hadn't missed any parts (from laughing too hard or not being able to open my eyes, or clear the tears). Back then you had to go back to the Cinema to watch again, because it would certainly disappear at the end of the week, never to be seen again. I couldn't wait until my abs had recovered, so my gut was sore for at least a week after the final showing. I was really in pain that last time.
The Sick & Twisted guys produced Mike Judge. I kinda doubt it would have been in Cinema after airing on TV.
Gee whiz. The interwebs seem to be devoid of accurate or adequate info about the Sick & Twisted Festivals.
The slightly more complete reference seems to be wiki.
I recall seeing Office Space and Frog Baseball in the same Festival, and another year saw the South Park kids before South Park (I dragged friends along for that one, they became fanatics when it was on TV). I didn't know then that OS and B&B were from the same guy - they were separated by several other works. When OS went to Cinema I was a little confused, because it wasn't cartoons, and it had Jennifer Aniston.
But I can't find any listing of all the entries in each year's festival film. I recall there were at least 2 in that first one i saw which were far better than B&B.

I believe this has been delayed until 2020.
