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.

The characters Beavis and Butt-head (B&B) originate from the animated MTV show that bears their name. Beavis is the more excitable and easily-manipulated of the two, will Butt-Head is the (slightly) more collected 'leader' of the duo: the two are very, very, very dumb, driven by hormones, junk food, and metal. They find many things "cool", including insults and physical abuse directed at themselves.

They went to high school in Highland with Daria Morgendorffer, who was one of the few people who could actually stand to be around them at times; she often found their idiocy amusing and would sometimes use it for her own game. She sometimes had to explain to them basic facts, such as that seeds had to be planted in the ground and that graduation existed. 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.

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."

In Daria fanfiction the duo make many appearances, both in flashbacks and in the "present-day" Dariaverse.

“Daria 2007: The Girl from Hope”: B&B go unnamed but are obviously the pair responsible for the shootings in Highland, Texas.
Grove Hell on Earth: Daria begins to emulate Beavis and Butt-head during her mental breakdown.
"The Cynic, The Fashionista and the Jackass": Both are in this story, but the main focus is on Beavis, Daria and Sandi as the three race in a search for stolen Confederate gold. A parody of The Good, The Bad and The Ugly.
