''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]].''
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. 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''. Their extremely distinctive laughter has driven teachers to despair.
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. Daria, for her part, seemed to be more annoyed by Beavis than Butt-head, and would offer ''straight'' advice to the duo - without sarcasm - from time to time, something she rarely bothered to do with anyone stupid at Lawndale.
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."
