Beavis and Butt-Head

1) MTV cartoon airing from 1993 until 1997. It was found to be hugely popular, particularly among men in their twenties and teenagers, and resulted in a full length theatrical movie, holiday specials, and a spin-off series featuring the character Daria. Because it did technically air on MTV (back when MTV was interested in music), during breaks in the storyline music videos would air with both characters "reviewing" and commenting on it, somewhat akin to what Mystery Science Theater did with cheesy sci-fi films. The actual storylines followed two 15 year old numbskull boys as they went through everyday life and often wound up in bizarre and hilarious situations. Their basic motivation was always to "score" which of course they never did. Along the way and, on the side, their adventures would often result in one or both of them getting arrested, getting beaten up, getting maimed, or occassionally just releasing general havok themselves. Their trademark was the classic and strange laughter which never seemed to end. Physically Butt-Head had dark brown hair, braces, and a large nose while Beavis had blonde hair, a bit of an underbite, and a somewhat pointed nose. Behaviorally Butt-Head was typically the more "focused" (which isn't saying a lot) while Beavis was typically more manic. These could be occassionally reversed however with Beavis becoming more contemplative before Butt-Head tried to "kick his ass" and snap him out of it. They frequently got into fights but continued what could be called a friendly relationship and were rarely seen apart from one another. Aslo worthy of note was that, in rare instances, Beavis would be found to consume ungodly ammounts of sugar and caffeine which resulted in him pulling his shirt over his head and donning his alter-ego "Cornholio." When he made his transformation he went into insane bouts of manic activity, paranoia, and a constant desire for "Tee Pee for his bunghole." Notable "adventures" of theirs included * Attempting to kill a fly with everything but a fly swatter, including a baseball bat and a chainsaw (which resulted in several lost fingers on Beavis' part which were later re-attached) * Hijacking a steamroller and wreaking chaos on the town and through their school * Trying, and failing miserably, to start a garage band named after Metallica. Not surprisingly this results in several cases of vandalism and an angry crowd assaulting a hotel manager when "Metallica" never shows * Placing themselves in front of moving cars in hope of getting injured and being compensated for it by the driver Several other injuries throughout the series involved javelins; severe dog bites to hand, leg, and scrotum; and fire. Of course there were also several other supporting characters in the series who added their own variety to what occured. These included * Principal McVicker: The fat, balding principal of Highland High who constantly went into fits of shaking and borderline nervous breakdowns as a result of the duo's antics. Occassionally called "Principal McDicker." * Mr. VanDriessen: Hippy schoolteacher who attempted to help everyone out but never got through to B&B. Frequently used the phrase "Mmm'kay" long before South Park's Mr. Mackey made it so popular. * Mr. Buzzcut: Beavis and Butt-Head's gym coach and math teacher. He makes a habit of screaming and behaving like a drill instructor. Basically just always pissed off. * Tom Anderson: A basis for King of the Hill's Hank Hill who B&B creator Mike Judge would eventually go on to produce. Threatens to "kick someone's ass" if they don't get off his lawn, etc. For whatever reason the boys made an odd habit of using his toolshed and camper for frequent masturbation practices. * Stuart: Basically an annoying little snot who lives nearby. He's into a lot of things like Dungeons and Dragons and would love nothing more than to be Beavis and Butt-Head's friends. Unfortunately for him, he's a "dumbass" and the two hate him with a passion. Todd: An older (perhaps 18-
