This is what the whole story is based on. Right from the start, it's the goal to get into Todd's gang. A real 'goal' is never defined or at least not communicated in the course of the game. But back to the plot of the game: There isn't much exposition at the beginning, the game assumes the player not only to recognise the characters, but to know a lot about their background. I call it hokey, because this kind of perception ('wow, cool') is of course still silently sanctioned. hokey) 'disclaimer' telling us that these guys are not supposed to be role-models to be imitated.
The game starts off with a typically American (i.e. This game's story seems to fit within the pattern you described. Well, I can't really say much about the 'source material', but what we'd like to talk about today is a computer game: Beavis and Butt-Head in Virtual Stupidity. The two are trying to join Todd's gang, but they don't even notice that he's just humiliating and abusing them. The two are trying to score with girls which just gets them into trouble or 2.

It's quite common that popular a series leads to imitations. This phenomenon was later parodied by introducing the character of Stewart who wore a “Winger” shirt and tried to be just as “cool” as the two.

Sounds reasonable so far, but you have to take into account that the satire which is universally understood as being one hasn't been invented yet. In the late 80s, bands like Metallica or Guns 'n' Roses brought metal music into the mainstream. It really struck a nerve there, they were both caricatures of metal fans. They were just idiots designed to make fun of the kids back then. So, I'd like to get one thing cleared up right from the start: Are the protagonists supposed to be 'cool' or are they 'idiots' whom we should laugh about? And those minutes consisted of two guys sitting motionlessly on a couch, 'laughing' (or whatever you want to call it). I was aware of the series' existence, but I never watched more than five minutes. I might as well confess right now that this 'phenomenon' completely passed me by at the time. Beavis & Butt-Head quickly became a cult hit due to its brute-ish humour, its simple animation style and the open criticism of our society.
It was invented by Mike Judge who later also became known for the series “Kind of the Hill”. Beavis and Butt-Head was a series which aired on MTV for the first time in 1990. Views: 17768 Screenshots Review by Mr Creosote, Anchantia () Background Theme: Based on Other Media / Cartoon & Comic / Humour
