Beavis and Butt-head: Difference between revisions

Line 14:

Beavis & Butt-Head usually referred to her as "Diarhhea", though Butt-Head would usually call her by her real name to her face. He seemed to vaguely respect her, taking her advice on some things. Daria, for her part, seemed to be more annoyed by Beavis than Butt-head. In [[Beavis and Butt-head (comics)|the ''Beavis and Butt-head'' comics]] by [[Marvel Universe|Marvel Comics]], the lads were sometimes ruder and openly mentioned in Daria's presence that they didn't think much of her looks (usually as a statement of fact rather than malicious action). We are told by a higher power in "[[It's a Miserable Life]]" that exposure to Butt-head ruined her interest in men.

Despite going out of her way to talk to them and an early instance where she tried to stop them taking a beating ([[Citizen Butt-head]]), she didn't think much of them. She was amused by the idea of them getting expelled and sent to [[Hope High]] ~~though~~ ("No Laughing"), she tried to ensure they were left behind on a field trip ([[Beavis and Butt-head issue 23|Witless]]), and as noted above she took advantage of them. When they were thought to be dead in "[[Beavis and Butt-head are Dead]]", Daria was hardly bothered at all. ''Why'' she kept talking to them when she didn't like them was never stated: fans have theorised that Daria, being friendless, was seeking out the company of Highland High's other big outcasts out of desperation.

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"). In an [[off-canon canon]] interview on the ''CBS Early Show'' (January 2002), Daria was asked an interesting question by Jane Clayson: "You made your debut, Daria, on the MTV show ''Beavis and Butt-head.'' Do you still keep in touch with those guys?" "I'd like to," Daria replied, "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."
