In what Beavis and Butthead episode/video snarkery segment, in which Beavis is either making fun of or unable to understand something, does he go "Words.... words.... uh... words...."?

Damn, now when I read Hamlet I will always hear it in Butthead's voice.

I thought it was one of the one's when they were working at Burger World, and Butt-Head is searching for the correct button to place the order on the cash register.

Didn't Shakespare use this joke in "Hamlet"? Sort of. Hamlet, : Polonius: [...] What do you read my lord? Hamlet: Words, words, words.

Didn't Shakespare use this joke in "Hamlet"? It would be ... heh heh... cool... if Beavis and Butthead made an allusion to that.

The Beard Boys bit sounds just like it, although I always remembered him doing it for a little longer than that. Thanks!

I'm (possibly mis-)remembering something like that from their take on The Pursuit of Happiness's "Cigarette Dangles," which IIRC had a bunch of text on screen. Also, if you want to see the episodes in their original format, I believe there's a large number of unofficial fan edits (available on your favorite internet grey-area distribution channels) complete with "B&B watching videos" segments.

Some part of me feels like they were watching either the video for "Right Now" or "Everybody Hurts," though I haven't checked out that timing. Sidebar: I too have used this phrase, in the voice, for most of my adult life. I feel like the "Bee-girl" at the end of the "No Rain" video!

"Thingies" is their word for breasts, I think. I remember a lot of thingies jokes around the same time.

Devoidoid, we use it exactly the same way, only we say "words.... uh... words... thingies...." Now, I don't know if we actually heard an original version with "words" + "thingies", or just mentally made that up... but if we did hear it accurately, lo a decade ago, maybe the added "thingies" search will help?
