''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 metalmusic that "rocks". They find many things "cool", including insults and physical abuse directed at ''themselves''. Their extremely distinctive laughter has driven teachers to despair. One of their main interest is loud rock and metal music, and they pour over and comment on any music videos they find - especially ones that "suck".
 
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;. sheThey had their first significant encounter in "[[Scientific Stuff]]", where they were forced to work together on a science project. She often found their idiocy amusing and would sometimes use it for her own game ([[Scientific Stuff]], [[Walkathon]]), while at other times just being happy to snark at them ([[Spare Me]]). Other times they simply ticked her off ([[Babes 'R' Us]]). She sometimes had to explain to them basic facts, such as that seeds had to be planted in the ground ([[Sprout]]) and that graduation existed ([[U.S. BeavisHistory]]); &sometimes Butt-Headshe usuallyoffered referred''straight'' advice to herthe asduo "Diarhhea", though Butt-Head wouldwithout usuallysarcasm call- hersomething byshe herrarely real namebothered to herdo face.with Heanyone seemedstupid toat vaguelyLawndale. respectOne her,time takingshe hereven adviceranted onin sometheir things.presence Daria,about forbeing her part, seemedforced to be morea annoyedfashion byreporter Beavisfor thanthe Butt-headschool newspaper, andas wouldif offerthey ''straight'' advice towere the duoonly - without sarcasm - from time to time, somethingones she rarely''could'' botheredexpress toher doirritation withtoo anyone([[Sporting stupid at LawndaleGoods]]).
 
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. She was amused by the idea of them getting expelled and sent to [[Hope High]] though ([[No Laughing]]).
 
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."
