''This article is about the '''characters''' known as Beavis and Butt-head, and their connections to Daria fandom. For information on the '''MTV series''', see [[Beavis and Butt-head (TV series)|Beavis and Butt-head]],; and for information on the '''Marvel Comics spin-off''', see [[Beavis and Butt-head (comics)]]., and for their '''video game''' with Daria in, see [[Virtual Stupidity]].''
 
The characters Beavis and Butt-head (B&B) originate from the animated MTV [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beavis_and_Butt-head show] that bears their name. They live in the town of [[Highland]].
 
==Personalities==

Beavis is the more excitable and easily-manipulated of the two, while Butt-Head is the (slightly) more collected 'leader' of the duo. The two are very, very, ''very'' dumb - in the Daria-less episode "Trouble Urinating" they ''forgot how to pee'' - and are driven by hormones, junk food, and music that "rocks". They find many things "cool", including insults and physical abuse directed at ''each other''. Their extremely distinctive laughter has driven teachers to despair. One of their main interest is loud rock and metal music (they can sometimes be seen air-guitaring & chanting the riffs of favoured songs or headbanging to something), and they pour over and comment on any music videos they find - especially ones that "suck". The duo can drive people (like [[Principal McVicker]]) to genuine breakdowns and cause mass destruction and chaos, but they're not intentionally cruel and malicious: they're genuinely too stupid to know any better.

==Family==

While they're not related, they have known each other from infancy and are ''always'' in the same house, growing up pretty much like brothers. Their parents never appear in person the series or the comic books, though Beavis' mother is stated multiple times to be loose and to "suck" in the comics. Their mothers ''are'' depicted in "[[This Book Sucks]]"

We are told by [[Charlie|a higher power]] in "[[It's a Miserable Life]]" that exposure to Butt-head ruined her interest in men. However, in the book [[The Butt-Files]], it is hinted that Butt-Head secretly had a crush on Daria.

Once Daria moved to [[Lawndale]] for her own show, B&B were never referred to by her (beyond a quip by Daria that Highland had "uranium in the drinking water"). However, Beavis's voice can be heard at the start of the unbroadcast pilot episode, and the pair were mentioned during Daria and Jane's hosting of the Top 10 Animated Videos on MTV. In an [[off-canon canon]] interview on the ''CBS Early Show'' (January 2002), Jane Clayton asked Daria if she kept in touch with them: "I'd like to, but first, they have to figure out that when the telephone makes that funny sound, you're supposed to pick it up and say hello." As for Beavis and Butt-head, in a music video segment of the 2011 episode "Drones", [[References to Daria in Beavis and Butt-Head|Beavis said]] "I remember Daria killed herself" and was surprised when Butt-head told her she'd just moved away (he'd also thought [[Stewart Stevenson|Stewart]] had died despite seeing him ''yesterday'').

In addition to appearing in ''Beavis and Butt-Head'' media, there are a number of times where she doesn't appear but is [[References to Daria in Beavis and Butt-Head|referenced]] by the two dunderheads.
