''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,
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. They 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. History]]); sometimes she offered ''straight'' advice to the duo - without sarcasm - something she rarely bothered to do with anyone stupid at Lawndale. One time she even ranted in their presence about being forced to be a fashion reporter for the school newspaper, as if they were the only ones she ''could'' express her irritation too ([[Sporting Goods]]).
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]]).
In the ''Beavis and Butt-head'' comics by [[Marvel Comics]], the lads had far more frequent encounters with Daria. They would also sometimes be more malicious towards her, and vice versa.
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."
