When "Beavis and Butt-Head" last aired in 1997, Bill Clinton was president, Diddy was still known as Puff Daddy and Napster didn't even exist yet. Obviously times have changed, and the two sarcastic teens have a lot to take on--and take down--in regards to post-millennial life. We've already seen Beavis and Butt-Head's analysis of "Jersey Shore," so here are five other topics we can't wait for them to snark about in their triumphant return to MTV.

Music Videos: Beavis and Butt-Head are infamous for cracking jokes about music videos, so can you imagine what they'll have to say about Lady Gaga's monster claw, Katy Perry's whipped-cream bra or Nicki Minaj's...everything? If they don't like a video, they've been known to fart on the TV, so consider yourself warned.

Celebrities: When the metal-loving buddies went off the air, Justin Bieber was only 3 years old; now he's one of the biggest stars on the planet. Perhaps the duo will surprise us all and get the infamous Bieber haircut? OK, probably not, but we can't wait to see if they become Beliebers...oh, and what they thought of Kim Kardashian's "fairy-tale wedding"!

It seemed like a pipe dream that "Jersey Shore" would one day be rightfully sandwiched between calculus and comparative politics in an academic institution, but the University of Chicago has officially hopped on the GTL train, and that thing is running express to Seaside Heights.

This coming Friday, the school will host "The UChicago Conference on Jersey Shore Studies," which includes keynote speakers from University of Michigan, University of Ontario and the John D. Calandra Italian American Institute. The brainiacs will address everything from "A Sociolinguistic Investigation of Jersey Shore" to "SHOTS! An Analysis of Italian, American, and Italian-American Beverage Consumption in Jersey Shore." Oh, and something called "guidosexuality."

Here's more of what's on the agenda (plus some commentary from yours truly...because we simply couldn't resist).

Ever bombed an interview? Sucks pretty hard, right? Even so, there's something to learn from that sort of disaster. In the case of Chelsea Settles, her last fashion opportunity didn't go so hot--the interviewer asked questions that she wasn't able to answer on the spot--and our California newbie got a reality check about how hard it can be to secure a good job.

Check out this sneak peek of Tuesday's all-new episode, where Chelsea goes on another big interview at the Lisa Kline clothing shop in Los Angeles. She starts off strong, but the instant the store owner makes a jarring comment about appearance, Chelsea shuts down. Hopefully she can gain insight from this experience as well.

Full of that lovin' feeling, Alexandra was giddy to get back in Byron's arms during last week's episode. The aspiring songstress had been thinking, worrying, wondering and chatting about her boyfriend ever since her fedora first crossed the threshold of the "Real World: San Diego" house. We thought the two lovebirds would be in dreamland once they got reunited, but there turned out to be a few glitches.

Within the first 24 hours of being together, the couple's warm fuzzies went cold...popsicle cold. Frank seemed like the biggest risk factor for these two, but it turned out to be a frozen treat that was the troublemaker! After Alex indulged in her ice pop, Byron wasn't down to hold her sticky hand. Instead of letting the issue slide, Alex got pissed and called Byron out for not wanting to get close to her. This tiff turned into an all-day dispute that had many of the other roomies stumped.

+ Do you think Alex was right to get so upset about Byron's hand-holding ban? Or was this a small issue made into a much bigger deal? Let us know how you felt about the fight and take the poll!

I'm going to jump right in and ease any concerns you may have about my mom's health. She is doing well after her transplant surgery! Yay!! I will always be grateful to the donor that gave her a new lease on life. Any surgery is a big deal and my mom has had a lot of health problems, so I was nervous that the surgery would not take. It was also hard for me to be thousands of miles away while such a life-changing event was happening at home. My family is really close so now we are all taking it day by day as her health progresses. Knowing my mom had support at home helped me decide to go back to L.A. Plus, I still had to conquer my job search.

Job hunting has a way of quickly turning into a full-time job. My social life, or what little social life I had to begin with, was flooded with responding to job postings and sending out résumés. The struggles that I was facing were things we all go through, especially living life post grad. However, trying to secure a job in one of the most overpopulated, appearance-driven cities in the country was an added dose of pressure. I was stressed, burning through my savings and quickly losing faith that I would get a job in enough time to stay in L.A.

Determined to land a job in the high-fashion world, Chelsea gave her resume a much-needed revamp on tonight's episode. Her roommate, Jenna, who's been a great influence on her thus far, suggested she embellish by including "style director" as a previous role. Uncomfortable with putting an obvious lie on paper, Chelsea settled on "retail consultant." It seemed like a good idea, but during her first interview, the aspiring fashionista's rawness was obvious.

Drafting an impressive CV is key to landing an interview, but if you get caught lying during the face-to-face meeting, that can be brutal. Have you ever fibbed on a résumé? Take the poll and let us know!

When we first met Lindsey on tonight's episode of "I Used To Be Fat," it was obvious that her family played a large role in her overeating and inactivity. Her father, Larry, was diabetic, and her own mother fessed up to being a poor role model. However, even after trainer Ary sat down with the fam to talk about getting healthy, it didn't quite get through to her dad.

While Lindsey and her mom shared a momentous breakthrough at the gym, Larry never came around. Not only did he bail on his daughter's graduation dinner, but he left her at college orientation because he thought her new lifestyle was making her into a different person.

Lindsey's dad may have been acting selfishly, but it's possible he just felt isolated. Hopefully he'll come around soon and realize what an accomplishment his daughter has made!

+ How did you feel about Lindsey's father's reaction to her weight loss? Sound off in the comments!

David Giuntoli on "Road Rules: South Pacific," and now, on NBC's "Grimm."

For many "Challengers," the allure of some sizable prize money makes the temptation to compete season after season too much to pass up (right, Paula?). For David Giuntoli of "Road Rules: South Pacific," though, just one "Challenge" was enough to quench his thirst, and after he was crowned champion of "The Gauntlet," he took his money, ran and never looked back. So what's he up to now? Oh, you know, just starring on a new NBC TV series.

Giuntoli first burst onto MTV in 2003 at 22 as one of six strangers who set out to traverse the Fijian Islands on "Road Rules." After successfully slaughtering a chicken, stripping at a gay club and bearing witness to one of Abram's many vicious fights, Dave won a car, parlayed his success into the next available "Challenge" and ultimately set his sights on Tinseltown. Since then, he's had supporting roles in "Grey's Anatomy," "Nip/Tuck" and "Hot In Cleveland," playing everything from a United States soldier to a school's headmaster. Finally, though, he'll get a chance to headline a production as the star of NBC's "Grimm," which premieres this Friday.

Back in elementary school, acting like heavy metal-obsessed teenage delinquents Beavis and Butt-Head was de rigueur (truth be told, my then-best friend and I dressed up as the spaced-out duo for a talent show, in which we performed a choreographed dance to Dr. Dre), and even though the classic MTV show was off the air for more than 14 years, tons of fans have continued to pay tribute to it by dressing up as the iconic pair of apathetic youth.

With both the premiere of "Beavis And Butt-Head" (airs Thursday, Oct. 27, at 10/9c!) and All Hallows' Eve coming up, we scoured the interwebs for some awesome interpretations of the judgey guys. Without any further delay, please feast your eyes on our latest photo flipbook: "Beavis And Butt-Heads Of Halloweens Past."
