If I am being honest I do not think Gen Z'ers as a whole would appreciate that kind of humour based on my experience with people in that age group. Obviously not a universal rule, but that kind of humour doesn't seem very relevant to newer generations.

Frankly - my kids in front of the tv is pure Beavis and Butt-head :D

Fair point!

If the end goal is moving to Idiocracy, I do not remember exactly the episode but I do remember Beavis and Butthead met people who were dumber than them, which was the whole episode, and the humour felt a lot like what Idiocracy was as a whole.

It has been a long time since I saw the show so hopefully you know what I am talking about, and that I am not misremembering it. haha
