Daria Morgendorffer: Difference between revisions

'''Daria Morgendorffer''' is a fictional animated character from [[MTV]]'s animated series' ''[[Beavis and Butt-Head]]'' and ''[[Daria]]''. In 2002, Daria placed at number 41 on the list of the'' Top 50 Greatest Cartoon Characters'' of all Time by TV Guide for her role in the two shows.[http://archives.cnn.com/2002/SHOWBIZ/TV/07/30/cartoon.characters.list/index.html TV Guide's 50 Greatest Cartoon Characters of All Time]. She was voiced in both incarnations by [[Tracy Grandstaff]].

In Daria's first incarnation as a recurring character on ''[[Beavis and Butt-Head]]'', she formed a female, intelligent foil to the two male dunderheads. Often, the two would openly mock her and refer to her as "Diarrhea." Though she is not amused by their antics, she does not have the passionate hatred for them that [[Principal McVicker]] and [[Coach Buzzcut]] have nor does she really believe there is any hope for them either as [[David Van Driessen]] had. At times, she would also make fun of the two for their stupidity. In the episode ''U.S. History'' [http://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Beavis_and_Butthead#U.S._History], she turned around to talk to the duos and said they'll never graduate, and she told them that "to graduate" means to be all done with the final year of school. In the Christmas Special, it is stated that Butt-Head had been responsible for giving her a negative outlook on boys. In the final episode of the series when the boys "died," Daria expressed the sentiments that Beavis and Butt-Head did not have very bright futures to look forward to. She was one of the few characters that the duo never managed to drive crazy as they had with many other students and teachers. In the Marvel Comic books, however, the duo did manage to push her closer to the edge than they did in the TV show.
