Before we start, if you don't know what Beavis and Butt-head is, leave. Right Now. Hit the back arrow, or close the tab, or turn your fucking computer off just leave. Because you're probably 14 and still think South Park is funny or some other dumb shit. You're not welcomed here.

Beavis and Butt-head is an animated television series created by Mike Judge, and it originally ran on MTV from 1992 to 1997. The pilot episode was an original short titled "Frog Baseball" that was just under three minutes long.

The crude short was just the beginning of an amazing show.
The show revolved around two teenage boys, Beavis and Butt-head, as they hopelessly try to get laid, as well as other endeavors, such as trying to get rich, join a gang, and even grow beards.

The boys live in Highland, Texas, in a crummy house, presumably by themselves, despite only being in high school. The majority of their time is spent watching TV, usually consisting of violent programs, music videos, and exercise videos featuring women. They (occasionally) attend Highland High School, and work at Burger World. They frequently go to Maxi-Mart, the local convenience store, to buy nachos. When something "cool" happens, they usually yell "Yes!" and play air guitar.

A staple of the show, in between episodes, music videos are shown, which the duo usually makes fun of or criticizes.

[B]CHARACTERS[/B]
Beavis
[img]http://www.thehollywoodgossip.com/wp-content/uploads/2006/08/beavis.jpg[/img]
Beavis has an underbite and a fixated stare on his face, which is almost always shown in profile. Beavis grunts when he laughs, has a more guttural voice and has a penchant for picking his nose. He is the more excitable of the two, and though he is oblivious to what should be obvious he is also prone to moments of insight (another source of humor) and is nicer and more optimistic than Butt-head. He often suffers physically in the show, either by Butt-head or various other characters or situations. He usually takes the beating and screams in pain before quickly reverting back to his trademark laugh. He generally has a passive demeanor in contrast to Butt-head's more dominant personality.
Beavis also has an alter ego named The Great Cornholio, who usually surfaces after he consumes large quantities of caffeine and/or sugar. Beavis pulls his shirt over his head and starts shouting in a mock-Spanish accent. This is a favorite among fans and was even made into a techno song. His trademark Cornholio phrase is "I need T.P. for my bung-hole" and nonsensical raving.
Butt-Head
[img]http://blog.seattlepi.com/buschick/library/butthead.gif[/img]
Butt-Head wears dental braces has squinty eyes and a drooping nose with prominent nostrils. His top gums are often exposed due to a small upper lip, and he speaks nasally with a deep voice and a slight lisp. He begins almost every statement with "Uhhhhhh..." and ends with his short trademark laugh "Uh huh huh huh". Calmer, though cockier, and marginally more intelligent than Beavis, Butt-head is oblivious to subtlety of any sort and is usually 100% confident in everything he says and does, no matter how ridiculous or frivolous it is -- unless it has to do with females, in which case he either wavers or comes on too strongly. His trademark phrase when approaching women is "hey baby". As the more dominant personality of the duo, it seems he derives pleasure from regularly abusing Beavis.

The nearsighted, elderly neighbor of Beavis and Butt-head. He often hires them to do chores, which results in them destroying his yard, home, or personal belongings. Due to his poor eyesight and mild senility, he never seems to recognize the two and he never remembers their names (in one episode, the two wore horn rimmed glasses in an absurd disguise, which Anderson did not notice). He served in the Navy during World War II and the Korean War.
Todd
[img]http://www.khalisi.com/comics/bnb/ftoddbutt.jpg[/img]
Todd is a violent criminal. Beavis and Butt-head look up to him and aspire to join his "gang". Todd despises the two, but will take advantage of them when he needs something, such as money, or a place to hide from other gangs or the police.
Stewart
[img]http://img808.imageshack.us/img808/2811/stewart.jpg[/img]
A nerdy, short kid who looks up to Beavis and Butt-head and believes they are his best friends. He typically wears a Winger shirt (notable because Beavis and Butt-head consider Winger to be a "wuss band"). Beavis and Butt-head actually think little of Stewart; essentially, they relate to him like Todd relates to them.
Daria
[img]http://www.dariawiki.org/wiki/images/0/04/Dariabb.jpg[/img]
Daria is a sarcastic, vaguely alt-rockerish, nerdy girl who attends Highland High with Beavis and Butt-head, and she is one of the few people who sees the two for what they truly are. While not above taking jabs at them for their lack of intelligence, she also offers occasional help and advice. The duo nicknamed her "Diarrhea" but once said she was cool after she asked President Clinton a poignant question during a school assembly. She eventually went on to star in her own spin-off series, Daria.
Principal McVicker
[img]http://img88.imageshack.us/img88/4852/mcvicker.png[/img]
Principal of Highland High; hates the duo. The two have unintentionally ruined his life. Many episodes begin with Beavis and Butt-head in his office. They refer to him as "McDicker." He constantly stutters.
Mr. Van Driessen
[img]http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_TYtL3iq-5_8/SAEByQHagkI/AAAAAAAABCY/Q82UhVV5MOM/s320/van+driessen.jpg[/img]
A teacher at Highland High School, and arguably the only person who cares about Beavis and Butt-head. Van Driessen is a devoted hippie with a forgiving nature and gentle demeanor. His repeated attempts to teach the duo useful life lessons typically end in disaster, as they almost always deduce the wrong message. He often plays songs on his acoustic guitar, which typically end in him being severely hurt, and in some cases almost killed.
Coach Buzzcut
[img]http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_PuZoLkvmBbc/So_tRBMwjZI/AAAAAAAAD10/e-rXeTZW5UI/s320/buzzcut.jpg[/img]
Another of the duo's high school teachers, and the antithesis of Van Driessen. Angry, impatient and short-tempered, Buzzcut is a Gulf War veteran who served in the Marine Corps and, with the possible exception of Principal McVicker, hates the duo more than any other character. He is shown substitute teaching regular classes, but usually teaches physical education. It has been implied that he has on occasion committed assault and battery against the duo, but he once defended them from an angry guest lecturer (Mr. Candy, previously known as Mr. Manners) by saying "This is my class. I do the ass kicking around here!"
[B]OTHER STUFF[/B]
Beavis and Butt-head has had a number of holiday specials, video games, and even a feature length film. But we'll not delve into that right now.
If you want to watch this amazing show, you can always go to your local youtube. On rare, glourious occasions, MTV will show some old episodes, possibly even a marathon. However, the most reliable way to watch it is on MTV's website, where they have 19 "episodes", with each of those containing around 4 actual episodes. Around 80 episodes all in one place?

I might update with more stuff about specials and the movie and video games later. Thanks to Wikipedia for character descriptions.
Tom Anderson more like HANK HILL

The teacher was the coolest guy. I remember my first B&B episode where the convinced everybody at a bar Metallica was going to be there.
I liked when the teacher sang Lesbian Seagull in the movie.

[QUOTE=Devil Traitor;22518909]If only theirs another movie coming out.[/QUOTE]
Mike Judge releases new shorts of Beavis and Butt-head from time to time, mostly consisting of movie reviews or something. However, he's lost the ability to portray Beavis and Butt-head as well as he could back in the 90s.
That being said, Beavis and Butt-head introduced me to music and probably ruined my life. But I don't care, they're fucking hilarious.
i love timeless shows like these that can still be watched 500 years from now and people can still get the humor of it. simple yet effective.
Hahaha.
Assgoblin.
I am Cornholio! I need TP for my bunghole!
Oh man I almost forgot about Daria. I never knew she was from Beavis & Butthead because I never got to watch it. But I do remember watching Daria sometimes, going to see if I can find an episode now.
This is more like thread music
