Episode list

shouldn't the episode list be moved into a separate article so as not to clutter the main one?

Show title

Also: The actual name of the show is Beavis and Butt-head (note the hyphen). Dale Arnett 02:12, 3 Apr 2004 (UTC)

You are wrong. Its Beavis and Butt-Head.--Suit-n-tieTalk About The Suit 02:42, 28 September 2006 (UTC)

Stop Using this like a forum

Wikipedia is NOT a forum. Most of the comments here should be asked on a forum. The talk section is for discussing the article, not the show, and not what you think. Okay? If you still don't get it check this out, WWIN. Don't do these sort of things, thank-you.--Suit-n-tieTalk About The Suit 23:15, 26 September 2006 (UTC)

Highland Texas or Highland New Mexico

Which one of these are exactly where Beavis and Butt-head live?

-I'm pretty sure they live in Texas, I've seen a few Texas license plates during the show.

Someone changed my edit

I added that Beavis has a “Closeted Pyromania“. I used the word “closeted” because it was not allowed to show fully because of the censors. Someone took my edit changed it to make it look like it was their own and then they deleted the rest of my edits. I had a edit about Beavis being fire crazy, and how the censors would not allow that so he had to say things like Fryer Fryer not fire fire. I also has a edit on Butt-head’s gums. I have the DVD Beavis and Butt-head the mike judge collection and I saw their thanksgiving special. In it Butt-head showed he was unaware of his gums always showing. Beavis even made a crack about how Butt-head looks like a horse.

Gwar

I removed the bit about Gwar being the duo's favorite band because in the series the have said ever metal band imaginable was their favorites, never a specific band.

wasen't that in the game from the orginal sega genissus68.49.63.78 21:53, 14 December 2005 (UTC)

For the love of God, learn to spell, please.

King of the Hill..

i thought i remembered an episode where B&B kidnapped Bobby Hill, believing his dad had "lots of money"? maybe i've got my characters confused, but I think this article may have some errors...

No, B&B kidnapped Stewart Stevenson. -Simon Beavis

Snickering

Why doesn't this extensive article metion B&B's continual trademark snickering? Or did I miss it.... --Jquarry 22:00, 23 October 2005 (UTC)

its there just not very obious-68.49.63.78 21:56, 14 December 2005 (UTC)

Now on Comedy Central

I just noticed that Comedy Central is showing the Halloween Special tonight, can anyone confirm if this is a one-shot or not

that was a one time thing it was to promote the new dvd that came out. Its is still on mtv 2--68.49.63.78 21:57, 14 December 2005 (UTC)

Beavis's Background?

It should be mentioned somewhere in the article that Beavis is either Mexican, or of Mexican background. This was mentioned in at least one episode and in the movie as well I believe. Davez621 11:59, 21 December 2005 (UTC)

This was an ongoing joke mentioned in several episodes. Beavis has blond hair and is white trash--a bastard orphan. But he could be Mexican. Mike Judge based their Highland High School on his own high school in New Mexico, and on one B&B promotional special, MTV stated Highland High was in Arlington, suburb of Dallas, Texas.

In THE GREAT CORNHOLIO, a poetry professor says to Butthead about Beavis: "Your friend is unusual. Is he Mexican? Or Russian?" Butthead jokes, "Yeah, he's rushin!" (on caffeine).... For picking up chicks using a Dating Service, Beavis used an alias, Geraldo (after Geraldo Rivera), and he attracted a chick because she "loves Spanish men."... Beavis says "I wanna become a Republican so I can shoot guns!" Butthead warns him that republicans have no nuts and never score. Beavis replies: "Oh well then I'll just keep being a Mexican!" Beavis as Mexican was a running gag. Beavis and Butthead are bastard orphans who never met their fathers (until the desert scene in the B&B film--their fathers were traveling roadies for Motley Crue!)

--At the end of the 'Dating Service' episode, the chick Beavis attracted earlier on kept calling and asking for "Geraldo." Butthead, unaware of Beavis's alias, kept answering the phone and replying "For the last time, there are no Mexicans here!" Hence, Beavis is not really a Mexican. I'm amazed that some people took that literally.

Really. It's just a recurring joke. Nothing more. Well maybe...--Suit-n-tie 01:24, 13 September 2006 (UTC)

Character deletion

I restored the deleted characters.Atadrus 22:31, 7 January 2006 (UTC)

Alas, minor characters were deleted again around the 18th [[1]], any reason not to put them again? I was tempted to linkify Tanqueray but it's no longer here. --Goldfndr 04:29, 23 June 2006 (UTC)

Beavis and Butt-head Do Music Videos

I once saw an airing of a special called "Beavis and Butt-head Do Music Videos", which is a compilation of some of the music video segments.

--There were actually two "Beavis and Butt-head Do Music Videos" specials. They watched so many videos that one special alone wouldn't have included them all. In fact, there were still some videoes that were not aired as part of those two programs. Both of those programs aired in 1997.

Cancellation

Why exactly was Beavis and Butthead cancelled? I heard that MTV fired Mike Judge, is that true?

no. He simply did not wish to continue the show.--Suit-n-tie 01:24, 13 September 2006 (UTC)

Move content to "Beavis and Butt-Head"?

I believe the "H" in "Butt-Head" is supposed to be capitalized. (See, for example,[2].) If that is right, then the content of the page should be moved accordingly (and both "Beavis and Butthead" and "Beavis and Butt-head" should redirect to "Beavis and Butt-Head"). B & B were real sticklers for proper capitalization, y'know. dbtfztalk 20:29, 26 February 2006 (UTC)

Their page at MTV also capitalizes the H. ×Meegs 09:39, 3 May 2006 (UTC)

on every B&B piece of merchandise in the 90s, 'Butt-head' is either capitalized fully or, when lower case letters are used, the 'h' is small. If you go to the forementioned MTV site, you can see that they themselves (today's MTV staff) areen't quite sure: they capitalize it in some instances, and have a small 'h' in others. Although IMDB does have a large 'h', many other credible sites list a small 'h' (as does Amazon.com for every B&B piece of merch other than 'Do America'). I guess this will continue to be an on-going debate...(A Sniper)


Upon further research I have found both the lower-case "h" and capitalized "H" on some offical websites and merchandise (Beavis and Butt-Head Do America uses both on the packaging. "Butt-Head" is used for the chapter lists on the insert, and "Butt-head" used on the back of the DVD case). Butt-Head did once say Butt was his first name, and Head his last but was he just joking around? Also in a hyphenated name, typically both names are capitalized. Until Mike Judge officially confirms the correct capitalization, I consider this case still open. - Ssschulte 1 June 2006

I agree with you Ssschulte that there is obviously no correct answer on the capitalization issue - sorry I jumped the gun... (A Sniper)

Whose House?

Who's house do the guys live in? -- Doo Doo 10:57, 10 March 2006 (UTC)


I always thought Bevis and Butt-Head found at least a place to live. -- that hader than the time I fought the Fantastic Four!--Mr.somebody 05:15, 16 April 2006 (UTC)

The Farmer

Just a thought, perhaps the blue farmer's a reference to the famous Blue Fugates, a family of 19th C hillbillies who were so inbred they were actually blue. Look 'em up, it's worth mentioning. The blueness suggests his inbreeding, which points to things like the Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Ed Gein, and Deliverance, the stereotypical backwoods folk.

Controversial content

I have added some bits about the house fire and other controversies where watchdogs pointed their finger on the show, some reference can be seen here

Social influence

How about a bit on how B&B helped and ruined the career of many bands. It was claimed that the show helped the career of White Zombie and Corrosion of Corformity. Winger however blames the show for ruining their career. I don't think I would be interested in rock music if it wasn't for the show, particularly Ministry and Nine Inch Nails. Willirennen 19.34 27 March 2006 (BST)

It has been said that the band Army of Lovers credit B&B for their fame. However about Winger, I noticed that in the episode, Butt-o-ween, there is a scene in which Beavis wears a Winger shirt and sings "She's only 17" and gets slapped by Butt-head. I think this scene was edited out of the later recordings. Does it have anything to do with Winger's complaints? Anonymous October 2006

Some stuff...

I don't think MTV fired Mike Judge; on the "Beavis and Butt-Head are Dead" commercial, he was talking about the series' end and I think he said he wanted to end it, most likely so he could spend his time on King of the Hill and the released later on Office Space. Also, I think Butt-Head's response to Lemmy being in the Ramones' "Substitute" video is slightly off on this page.

I think you're right about the Lemmy thing so I fixed it. Same with the Weird Al reference. - Anonymous

Todd

Who voiced Todd anyway? IMDb does not list Todd's voice actor. It would seem that whoever voiced Todd was uncredited. Can anyone clarify this?

  • I believe it was Rottilio Michieli. At IMDb, he's listed as 'additional voices' in the TV show. However, he is credited as voicing Todd in the video game.

Beavis and Butt-head need their own character pages

I don't understand why separate pages are made for other minor characters, yet Beavis and Butt-Head don't have their own separated character pages here, someone should get on it. 68.180.1.141 00:27, 26 May 2006 (UTC)

I agree. They're the main characters of the series, so they should have separate pages of their own.

Location of Highland

Highland is a fictional town in California, which was stated in Beavis and Butt-head Do America. I have edited the beginning paragraph to reflect this. The assumption that Highland was located in the mid-west or possibly Texas was unfounded. --JOK3R 20:34, 30 May 2006 (UTC)

  • OK just did some more research and found out the very first episode was supposedly based in Texas, but considering it was not a series at that point, and it was made apparant in the movie it was in California, I believe that is concrete enough. --JOK3R 18:11, 31 May 2006 (UTC)

--Where is the evidence in the movie that Highland is in California? The man who thought Beavis and Butthead were hitmen had Texas vehicle plates. In the TV show, a Texas license plate was seen in the episode where they go to a fortune teller.

They live in Texas. Mike Judge said so.--Suit-n-tie 01:24, 13 September 2006 (UTC)

Why was Beavis and Butthead off the air?

Just wondering why this show was off the air? was it because of it's controversial content or poor ratings?

Mike Judge, the show's creator, decided to cancel it in order to focus on his new show, King of the Hill.
Please, see above.--Suit-n-tieTalk About The Suit 23:19, 26 September 2006 (UTC)

Article needs to be broken up

This article could use placing some of the sections in their own articles. Currently it is 58K long, and takes forever to read... some of the minute details, such as their responses to particular videos, really belong elsewhere IMHO. --Goldrushcavi 20:32, 7 July 2006 (UTC)

Mr. Stevenson a major character?

I don't remember him appearing in a large number of episodes... in fact I think we see Stewart's mom more than his dad, IIRC. She is listed as a minor character... I say we should either place them both in the minor characters list, or show them both as major. --Goldrushcavi 02:04, 18 July 2006 (UTC)

Beavis & Butt-head separate character pages

I don't understand why the separate character pages for beavis and butt-head were deleted and redirected. This article is about the show, not necessarily about the characters themselves. I don't understand why they can't have their own character pages when minor characters like Buzzcutt, Todd and Stewart get them. I would appreciate the restoration for them ASAP. --Quotes22 03:15, 2 August 2006 (UTC)

About Beavis & Butt-head

How come Bavis says "heh heh heh heh"? It looks like he has altered his voice or something. And Butt-head? Why does he always say "Uh huh huh huh"? Is he having trouble saying words? Best Gamer 5 August 2006

See above.--Suit-n-tieTalk About The Suit 23:19, 26 September 2006 (UTC)

B&B on Digimon?!?!?

We need some sort of citation for that Digimon thing... How do we know this is really true anyway?

That is not true. Why is it still on there? It's obviously a prank by some Wikipedia vandal.

Peter Lorre

(heh, I said Peter)

Peter Lorre says Beavis is modeled on him, but I don't buy it; the only obvious similarity is the nasality of their voices, which they share with many others. Has Mike Judge said anything on this subject? —Tamfang 06:45, 25 August 2006 (UTC)

how exactly did Peter communicate this accusation - via Ouija Board?! Quite an odd thing to write, Tamfang, considering Lorre died almost three decades before B&B were on the air. A Sniper

Lightning Strikes(Controversial content)

I just submitted details on the episode "Lightning Strikes," which was a glaring attack on all the controversy surrounding B&B, and all of the sudden it disappeared. What happened to it? DanTD 11:59, 2 September 2006 (EST)

Huh?

Is the "Huh?" short even real? --CheezNapkin 23:37, 12 September 2006 (UTC)CheezNapkin

I'm pretty sure it is. I'm sure I've seen it somewhere.--Suit-n-tie 01:16, 13 September 2006 (UTC)

I WANNA SEE IT :P --CheezNapkin 23:00, 13 September 2006 (UTC)CheezNapkin

See above.--Suit-n-tieTalk About The Suit 23:19, 26 September 2006 (UTC)

Move

I say we move this page to Beavis and Butt-Head.--Suit-n-tieTalk About The Suit 03:28, 27 September 2006 (UTC)

I have done so. I have also moved every page with a lower case head to capital H. I've also changed every h in Butt-Head to be capital! If anyone changes that, I will revert it. So don't!--Suit-n-tieTalk About The Suit 02:42, 28 September 2006 (UTC)

Models?

Who are they modeled on? The paragraph says it's not true they were modeled after to UCSD profs, but the two names mentioned are UCSD profs. So what's the deal? --Awiseman 21:50, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
