TIL Mike Judge created Boomhauer's voice based on a disgruntled viewer's voice mail that he couldn't understand. The voice mail was left during the Beavis and Butthead days. Here is a link to that ...

The top YouTube comment is great. It provides a transcription of what was said, a translation from hillbilly into English, and a possible explanation for what the actual intent was.

Despite what Mike Judge thought was someone complaining about Beavis and Butthead, the comment suggests the guy might be complaining about how the shows on another channel aren’t properly lined up with their schedule. So whenever he jumps on to watch his show, they are showing “Porky’s Butthole”, which is what he calls the “That’s All Folks” ending to a Looney Tunes show. And then he has to sit through several minutes of commercials before his show starts.

Yeah, it's something cable did back in the day, especially MTV, Comedy Central, and TBS.

When everyone else changed at X:00 or X:30, some channels would five minutes late. So if you watched till the end, you missed the beginning of everything else starting on another channel.

It was an anti-consumer practice but that the younglings don't know about these days.

This dude is complaining about mtv doing it, because when he switched to watch Beavis and Butthead, he was always five minutes early and stuck watching credits and commercials from the last show

Damn. My dad loved King of the Hill and Beavis and Butthead. He passed away yesterday morning. If only I saw this sooner I could’ve shown it to him.

Everyone should read the transcript, translation, and analysis in the top comment. It's incredible!
