''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, whil Butt-Head is the (slightly) more collected 'leader' of the duo. The two are very, very, ''very'' dumb - in "Trouble Urinating" they ''forgot how to pee'' - and are driven by hormones, junk food, and music 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 (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".
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]])
Line 10:
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 any sarcasm ([[Beavis and Butt-head issue 12|Putting the X in Xmas]]), something she rarely bothered to do with anyone stupid at Lawndale, or tried to reason with them even though she had to know this wouldn't work ([[Beavis and Butt-head issue 1|Dental Hygiene Dilemma]], [[Career Day]]). 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]]). Whatever her reaction to them, she still went out of her way to encounter and talk to them, even though this encounters were often irritating or bemusing.

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. In [[Beavis and Butt-head (comics)|the ''Beavis and Butt-head'' comics]] by [[Marvel Universe|Marvel Comics]], the lads were sometimes ruder and openly mentioned in Daria's presence that they didn't think much of her looks (usually as a statement of fact rather than malicious action). We are told by a higher power in "[[It's a Miserable Life]]" that exposure to Butt-head ruined her interest in men.
