''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]], and for information on the '''Marvel Comics spin-off''', see [[Beavis and Butt-head (comics)]].''
 
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, whilwhile Butt-Head is the (slightly) more collected 'leader' of the duo. The two are very, very, ''very'' [[inconsistancies with Beavis and Butt-head's intelligence|dumb]] - in "Trouble Urinating" they ''forgot how to pee'', in "Cow Tippin" they couldn't get the "Ee-i, ee-i, ee-I Oh" part of "Old McDonald had a farm" song right. - and are driven by hormones, junk food, and music that "rocks". They find many things "cool", including insults and physical abuse directed at ''themselveseach other''. Their extremely distinctive laughter has driven teachers to despair. One of their main interest is loud rock and metal music (they can sometimes be seen air-guitaring & chanting the riffs of favoured songs or headbanging to something), and they pour over and comment on any music videos they find - especially ones that "suck". The duo can drive people (like [[Principal McVicker]]) to genuine breakdowns and cause mass destruction and chaos, but they're not intentionally cruel and malicious: they're genuinely too stupid to know any better.
 
Their parents never appear in person the series or the comic books but their mothers are depicted in "[[This Book Sucks]]" and their fathers, former Mötley Crüe roadies, appeared in [[Beavis and Butt-Head do America]] and in both the comics and the Christmas episode "Huh-huh-humbug" it's revealed that B&B have known each other from infancy, growing up pretty much like brothers.
 
When Beavis becomes ''too'' hyper - sugar, caffiene, or drugs - he transforms into the beserker state of "the Great Cornholio". [[Daria Morgendorffer]] has twice encountered him in this state, and is the only person to have successfully handled him. ([[Beavis and Butt-head issue 27|The Great Bungholio]])
