This! At first, MTV was all-in for Beavis & Butthead because on the surface, they encouraged dumbness and irresponsible self-centered misbehavior. MTV "News" even got a trailer-park fire out of it, blaming the fire on kids imitating the show (rather than the parent who let the kids play with lighters.)
>But then
They realized Mike Judge is a Patriot from Texas, the kind of guy who does occasional interviews with InfoWars. Problematic! The show actually does some smart social commentary on the sly, so it had to go.
True story! And once again, on the surface it seem to be the typical Hollywood "product" that unflatteringly portrays rural/working-man stereotypes. But as always, Mr. Judge sneaks in smart social commentary and Red Pills.
Another fun case in point: Around the 28:00 mark of this InfoWars interview he discusses the production of "Office Space" and "Idiocracy," with the Fox movie studio meddling in those movies/refusing to promote "Idiocracy" due to the Red Pills and thought-provoking content. (The world "Idiocracy" is set in very much illustrates the end-game of a shallow-minded group-think consumer-culture Socialist Utopia, and Fox didn't want to give their viewers too much of a preview of their plans.) As Mr. Judge says, he is already seeing aspects of "Idiocracy" in real-life that did not take 500 years of de-evolution to "achieve."

Astute analysis.
Thank you! <3 <3 <3 Here's a link to one of his InfoWars interviews. (40 mins) It's worth a watch for any Mike Judge/Beavis & Butthead fan, one of the more in-depth interviews I've seen with him.
So then he creates one of the best cartoons of all time again in King of The Hill, glorifying the lifestyle of said Patriot from Texas.
