While the boys are obsessed with getting girls, they never have and likely never will. A recent example of this is the episode "Spring Break."
Every one of their plans fails due to their lack of ambition and misunderstanding whatever idea they have. The boys discover some way to get rich, be cool, or attract girls. Sure, there may be references to modern culture, but the crux of the stories are the same as in the original.

Read any of the dozens of listicles about Seinfeld/Friends moments that aged terribly. After all, the humor of today is vastly different from the humor of the '90s. Given that Beavis and Butt-Head originally aired in the '90s, it would be understandable if they decided to update their plots for modern audiences. This is especially true if the original show aired in a different entertainment landscape decades earlier. Van Driessen, who looks to have learned absolutely nothing, even after all these years, from the agonizing waves of casual torture these guys have inadvertently put him through.When a show returns to the air after a lengthy hiatus, it will often try to update its stories to remain more relevant with the times. Also keeping the old-school flame alive is hopelessly nurturing teacher Mr. Hey, at least they’ll never be caught dead rockin’ a Winger tee. As the boys’ unchanging attire suggests (do they ever wash those T-shirts?), AC/DC and Metallica remain evergreen signifiers of peak performance in their murky, unsupervised little minds. How will our skinny heroes navigate a world that’s changed a bit since they first dorked around their small-town Texas haunts? We don’t know, but time has thankfully stood still at least in the wardrobe department. Like a dim light bulb trapped in a Butt-Head thought bubble, the iconic animated series first flickered to life at MTV all the way back in 1993, winning fast acclaim as a stealthily satirical send-up of 1990s pop culture. Now going by the slightly-tweaked official name of Mike Judge’s Beavis and Butt-Head, the revived series marks the first time Butt-Head and the Great Cornholio have seen action in regular, bite-sized episodes since 2011, when a Season 8 revival picked up their suspended adventures at MTV.
