Earlier this week, Paramount+ threw a party to celebrate the revival of Beavis and Butthead, the irreverent comedy brainchild of Mike Judge. The party which came after the successful release of “Beavis and Butthead Do the Universe” back in June, featured the usual things: drinks, friends, and a world record breaking amount of nachos.
The nachos, served at Smorgasburg LA on Sunday, September 25th, were recorded as having a final weight of 4,870 pounds (~2209 kg). For reference, an African black rhino weighs in at around 4,600 pounds. That is a truly mind-breaking amount of day-glo orange cheese. A representative of Guinness was on hand to certify the results and award the team a plaque that read “The largest serving of nachos was achieved by Mike Judge’s Beavis and Butt-Head and Paramount+.” According to Consequence, Judge called the award “the proudest moment of my career.”
A team of at least seventeen people was needed to put the gargantuan appetizer together. Teams of servers used literal shovels to layer on chips, cheese, what looked like jalapeños, and ground beef, before doing the whole process all over again. The process is both mesmerizing and slightly sickening to watch. Though, we have to admit even after seeing the monstrosity it becomes, we could definitely go for some nachos right about now.
