Beavis and Butt-Head Do America (1996)

Mike Judge's slacker duo, Beavis and Butt-Head, wake to discover their TV has been stolen, kicking off a hilariously ignorant quest. Their search for a new one takes them on a clueless adventure across America where they manage to accidentally become America's most wanted. This journey, fueled by teenage immaturity and a relentless pursuit of "scoring," sees the boys stumble through a series of increasingly absurd situations, from a desert stakeout to a raucous hotel room rendezvous, all while unknowingly carrying a bioweapon. While seemingly a simple animated comedy, *Beavis and Butt-Head Do America* masterfully embraces the core tenants of the adventure genre. It features an episodic, cross-country journey, a quest for something (in this case, a television), and a series of escalating challenges and obstacles the protagonists must overcome. The film's success stems from its clever subversion of genre tropes, placing the unlikely heroes in epic scenarios and highlighting their complete inability to understand the gravity of the situations, thus making the film a uniquely humorous take on the grand adventure story and a deserving inclusion on any "Best Adventure Movies" list.
