A Quote by Penn Jillette

The only place we were really told to tone it down - where other people would use the word censorship, but I wouldn't - was when we did MTV right after the Beavis and Butt-head thing.
I met Mike Judge when I was working on my own cartoon for MTV; it did not air. But I got on with Mike and then did a few voices on 'Beavis and Butt-Head' because of it.
I didn't really watch 'Beavis & Butt-head' that much or 'King of the Hill,' but I was a huge 'Office Space' fan.
I don't think a lot of people gave 'Beavis & Butt-Head' credit for how subtle it could be.
People say that the Beavis voice doesn't sound like me or some other voices. Butt-Head I think sounds like me.
I know kids like Beavis and Butt-head.
Sometimes I was like Beavis and Butt-head growing up. I know people who lit their friend's house on fire accidentally.
I love going to the movies; I grew up going to the movies. I didn't really watch TV, growing up, other than weird cartoons like 'Beavis & Butt-Head.'
I love MTV. I watched 'Beavis and Butthead,' 'Wayne's World,' 'Yo! MTV Raps.' And they used to have music videos on there. When I got the chance to be on MTV, I took the first opportunity.
I was told MTV VJs have no career after MTV, and I'm like, that's never going to be me. I was always about not feeding into the negativity and proving to people that I can do more than one thing.
I remember there was one summer - I think I was 13 years old - that was literally defined by watching 'Beavis and Butt-head' with my friends.
I remember trying to stay up late and catch as much 'Beavis and Butt-Head' as I could, and then 'King of the Hill.'
The 'Beavis and Butt-head' movie was just a movie-length version of the TV show.
There's what we did wrong and what we did right. The mistake is that we did some things against the people - by us and also by the enemy - but the other side, as I told you, is that without our struggle there would be no Cambodia right now.
When I was quite young I fondly imagined that all foreign languages were codes for English. I thought that "hat," say, was the real and actual name of the thing, but that people in other countries, who obstinately persisted in speaking the code of their forefathers, might use the word "ibu," say, to designate not merely the concept hat, but the English word "hat." I knew only one foreign word, "oui," and since it had three letters as did the word for which it was a code, it seemed, touchingly enough, to confirm my theory.
Comedy is a very personal thing, as you would know if you've ever told the same joke to two people and had one of them laugh their head off and the other one look at you as though you were a completely cretin.
If you were on the phone with me and Tommy right now, we would probably forget you were there, we'd just be cracking jokes. It's like Beavis and Butthead.
