[[quoteright:256:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/stewart_stevenson_9498.jpeg]]
->'''Voiced in English by:''' Adam Welsh (1993-1997), Creator/ThomasMiddleditch (2011), Sam Johnson (2022, adult)
->'''Voiced in Latin American Spanish by:''' Creator/CarlosInigo
->'''Voiced in European Spanish by:''' Patricia Reija

A hapless nerd who hangs out with Beavis and Butt-Head--not because they like him, but because he'll let them get away with almost anything.

Tropes associated with Stewart:

* AllForNothing: In the alternate universe of the 2022 revival where Beavis and Butt-head never time traveled, an adult Stewart returns to Highland to become a kidney donor to Beavis, only for Beavis to insult him cruelly many times, show no appreciation for Stewart's effort, and ''destroy Stewart's transplanted kidney inside his body before the day is even over''.
* AlliterativeName: His last and first name begin with an "St" sound.
* ButtMonkey: He'd be TheChewToy if he appeared more often.
* ComedicUnderwearExposure: In the banned episode "Stewart's House" where Beavis and Butt-Head walk into his house to watch free cable. They then strip him down to his underwear, hang him on a coat hanger and shove random stuff like sand, rubbing alcohol, and even a cactus down his rear.
* TheConscience: He's usually the one to tell Beavis and Butt-Head that what they're doing could have horrible consequences. Unfortunately for him, they never listen.
* DemotedToExtra: In the 2022 revival, he plays a much smaller role and his only appearance by far is in the alternate universe where Beavis and Butt-head grew old naturally where he tries to donate his kidney to Beavis, only for it to be a wasted effort.
* EarnYourHappyEnding: In a reality where Beavis and Butt-Head never went through the wormhole, Stewart left Highland, found a decent job, and had triplets.
* ExtremeDoormat: Beavis and Butt-Head walk all over him. And in ''It's A Miserable Life'', it's shown he would still have his self-esteem and could actually be quite assertive, if not for Butt-Head.
* HorribleJudgeOfCharacter: Like Mr. Van Driessen (and extremely similar to the duo's own "relationship" with Todd), Stewart just doesn't grasp that Beavis and Butt-Head despise him, and never stops thinking of them as his best friends, despite all the abuse they put him through. Despite, that he has several friends who are more like him and he ''should'' be hanging out with, such as the dorky P.A.T. kids.
* NiceGuy: Stewart is one of the few characters on the show that's genuinely nice and pleasant.
* NiceMeanAndInBetween: Whenever around the duo, he's the idolizing NiceGuy to Butt-Head's JerkWithAHeartOfJerk and Beavis' JerkWithAHeartOfGold.
* ObliviousToHatred: He seems to believe Beavis and Butt-head are his best friends, despite how often they bully, insult, and get him into trouble. This is shown in the clipshow SeriesFauxnale where his flashback remembering the duo had them hanging out like old friends and talking like they came out of an episode of ''Series/LeaveItToBeaver.''
* OlderThanTheyLook: He is supposed to be roughly the same age as the duo, but looks more like a little kid.
* ReusedCharacterDesign: As an adult, he looks like a blonde haired [[WesternAnimation/KingOfTheHill Bill Dauterive]].
* SelfServingMemory: In his flashback in "Beavis And Butt-Head Are Dead", he remembers himself and the duo spending time together as the best of friends. Tellingly, the only other person without a real flashback from older episodes in this episode is Butt-Head, who misremembers himself scoring with a classmate.
* TakeThat: Wears a Winger shirt, and his wimpiness is compared to the main duo's Music/{{Metallica}} and Music/{{ACDC}} shirts.
* ThreeAmigos: He thinks he's in this with Beavis and Butt-Head. He even describes them as such in a diary entry in ''This Book Sucks''. Beavis and Butt-Head would beg to differ. He also describes them as such as an adult.
* VocalEvolution: His voice was deeper and more emotionless in his earliest appearances, until it became higher and whinier later on, and eventually deeper due to his voice actor going through puberty.
* WithFriendsLikeThese: Though Beavis and Butt-Head don't consider him a friend. Despite the fact that they get him in trouble, he still likes to hang out with them.

[[folder:Daria Morgendorffer]]
[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/daria_morgendorffer_5520.jpg]]
->'''Voiced in English by:''' Tracy Grandstaff
->'''Voiced in Latin American Spanish by:''' Creator/PatriciaAcevedo
->'''Voiced in Japanese by:''' Creator/TomokoKawakami (''Beavis and Butt-head in Virtual Stupidity'')

Daria is one of Beavis and Butt-Head's classmates. Intelligent but disaffected, she's amused by the duo's antics, and often makes sarcastic remarks that go right over their heads.

--> For information about her portrayal on ''WesternAnimation/{{Daria}}'', see that show's [[Characters/{{Daria}} character sheet]]
----
Tropes associated with Daria:

* ActuallyPrettyFunny: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jcZ4gGlQP0c This video]] shows her cracking up when Butt-Head said "I rest on your face" in court.
* AdaptationRelationshipOverhaul: In the Marvel tie-in comics, Beavis and Butt-head are somewhat nastier to her than they were in the show, often making rude remarks about her appearance and notably being able to get under her skin and make her visibly angry more. And the feeling was mutual on her part, with Daria shutting Stewart up forcefully and making sure Beavis and Butt-head got left behind on an Amish farm once. Though there were also instances where Daria was somewhat closer to them than in the show, with Beavis and Butt-head going to her home during special events like Halloween and Christmas, with her even trying to explain to them the meaning of Christmas.[[note]]During those times the duo went to her home, her parents and sister Quinn were not present as by the comic book publication date, Daria's family hadn't been officially created yet.[[/note]]
* AscendedExtra: She got a slightly larger role in the comic series, and then [[WesternAnimation/{{Daria}} got her own spin-off]].
* BrainyBrunette: She's a wise-cracking TeenGenius with brown hair.
* BreakoutCharacter: Got her own show after ''Beavis and Butt-Head'' got cancelled.
* TheBusCameBack: [[spoiler:Despite being put on a bus in the revival, an alternate universe alien version of Daria appears in "Abduction."]]
* TheCameo: She appeared in ''Beavis and Butt-Head Do America'' and ''Beavis and Butt-Head Do the Universe''. In ''Do America'', the ATF storm into the Highland High School, she and the other students run and they were eventually got cavity search. In ''Do the Universe'', she was at Beavis and Butt-Head's trial. She was very upset and angry that Beavis and Butt-Head got off scot free. An alternate-universe version of her appears in "Abduction" as "Smart Daria", one of the Supreme Leaders of Smart Beavis and Butt-head's reality.
* CharacterizationMarchesOn: Especially evident in the Marvel tie-in comics. She starts out as a more generic know-it-all but gains the wry, unflappable, sarcastic streak we all know and love later on.
* DeadpanSnarker: Mostly towards Beavis and Butt-Head.
* InSeriesNickname: Beavis and Butt-Head are really fond of calling her "Diarrhea".
* LimitedWardrobe: Like the rest of the characters, though in this series, she had three regular outfits (Her third one, which included her white shirt, black jacket, was the one she was shown in the most)
* OnlySaneWoman: Within her classmates, and possibly a good amount of the community.
* OutOfCharacterMoment: Breaks out into hysterics at the word "masturbation" in "No Laughing" with the other students. Though this could've been her laughing at the duo's predicament of being prohibited from laughing; or due to the animation direction being "the students laugh", and the animators making her laugh along with the rest of the class. Also, [[NotSoAboveItAll people in their middle to early high school phases simply tend to crack up more at sexual humor]]. At this stage of her life, it's very likely [[EarlyInstallmentWeirdness she hadn't fully matured into the Daria everybody recognized]].
* PutOnABus: It is mentioned in the 2011 revival that she moved away, as per the first episode of her own series (Beavis thought she had committed suicide).
* TeenGenius: As an honors student at Highland High.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Cassandra]]
[[quoteright:290:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/cassandra_1731.gif]]

Another of B&B's classmates, Cassandra is a hippie-ish aspiring artist of possible Asian descent. She doesn't get much screen time, but the series hints that she has some disturbing HiddenDepths.
----
Tropes associated with Cassandra:

* AmbiguouslyBi: A big fan of notoriously lesbian singer K.D. Lang, though she also expresses a fondness for older men in other episodes. It's unclear if she herself really has lesbian tendencies or she simply loves K.D. Lang's music and is open minded enough that she doesn't care about the singer's sexuality.
* GranolaGirl: Like Van Driessen, she's a nature-loving hippie.
* HotForTeacher: Her story about how a teenage girl and her English teacher drown together implies she might be attracted to Mr. Van Driessen
* NiceGirl: She's one of the few students in Highland High who isn't a {{Jerkass}} or close enough aside from Stewart. She seems to have a high tolerance for Beavis and Butt-Head's stupidity, and she even gave them advice in ''Animation Sucks.''
* OedipusComplex: Talks about her own father in a creepily suggestive manner in "Animation Sucks".
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Earl]]

One of the students of Highland High. He is a thug who brandishes a pistol.
-----
Tropes associated with Earl:

* AscendedExtra: He plays a much bigger role in the Marvel Comics series and is shown to be friends with Todd.
* ADayInTheLimelight: A central character in ''Incognito'' as he threatened to harm the boys.
* ALighterShadeOfBlack: Compared to Todd, he's this. While he's a thug, he at least respects Mr. Van Driessen and is more willing to stand down from taking more extreme actions at the teacher's request.
%%* DisproportionateRetribution: See HairTriggerTemper below,
* EvenEvilHasStandards:
** After a rival tried to shoot him during Mr. Van Driessen's class ''Incognito'', he shouted out that Mr. Van Driessen doesn't like being interrupted.
** In "Safe Drivng", even he was horrified at the wreckage scene in Coach Buzzcut's driver's ed video.
* HairTriggerTemper: In "Incognito", he had planned to ''kill'' the duo because they accidentally knocked a cigarette out of his hand. And in "Pierced", he overhears Beavis and Butt-Head laughing at his new earring and he beats them both up.
* HiddenHeartOfGold: Mentioned earlier, he respects Mr. Van Driessen as a teacher. He was almost ''in tears'' when Mr. Van Driessen had confiscated his pistol and other assorted weapons. He then thanks Beavis and Butt-head and lets them off the hook. If not for this, he'd be just another Todd Ianuzzi.
* RaceLift: Was originally African-American, but was changed to white to avoid accusations of racism. (Since he has a gun on his person).
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Cody]]
One of the students of Highland High in the 2022 revival.
-----
Tropes associated with Cody:
* ADayInTheLimelight: He gets a spotlight episode in the season 10 finale "Sleepover."
* FatBastard: Downplayed, although he can be pretty rude to people, particularly Beavis and Butt-head.
* HatesEveryoneEqually: He doesn't appear to like anyone. He openly hates Beavis and Butt-Head, scoffs at the idea at going to a school dance, and scornfully refers to Glennis as a "weird girl" even though they both share a FriendlessBackground.
* HiddenDepths: "Sleepover" implies he has few, if any friends, and whatever friends he does make, his family often scare away with their clingy behavior.
* {{Jerkass}}: He's shown to be rude and condescending to the duo even though Beavis and Butt-head haven't gone out of their way to harass him in any particular way and in "Sleepover", he invites the duo over to make them ''watch'' him play video games rather than allow them to play. In that episode, it's also shown Beavis and Butt-head don't like Cody anymore than Cody likes them.
* LaserGuidedKarma: He goes out of his way to be insulting to the duo and in "Sleepover" even invites them over to make them watch him play video games rather than share the controller, for seemingly no other reason than to rudely rub it in their faces. From there on, his parents invite the pair to stay the night much to Cody's chagrin, the duo proceed to embarrass Cody in front of his parents who think Beavis and Butt-head are a positive influence on him, and they both walk away with his video game console after Beavis transforms into Cornholio.
* SoapboxSadie: In "Pranks", he admonishes the duo for trying to TP a house while there's a supply chain crisis going on, and tells them to watch the news.
* SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: His interactions with Beavis and Butt-Head are very similar to that of Daria in the original series, while he is overweight and socially awkward like Stewart (though unlike Stewart he despises the boys), with Cody's parents also being shown to interact with the duo like the Stevensons once did. And before "Sleepover" when he was still a minor character, Cody had traits reminiscent of Dean, a more minor B&B character from the original run, who was another chubby student who occasionally stopped to make casual conversation with the duo.

->'''Voiced in English by:''' Creator/MikeJudge
->'''Voiced in Latin American Spanish by:''' Creator/GerardoReyero
->'''Voiced in Japanese by:''' Creator/NobuoTobita (''Beavis and Butt-head in Virtual Stupidity'')
One of Beavis and Butt-Head's teachers, Mr. Van Driessen is an idealistic hippie who tries to help the boys by appealing to their better natures. Predictably, it never works.
----
Tropes associated with Mr. Van Driessen:

* AbusiveParents: ''This Book Sucks'' contains the lyrics to several of his songs. "Chopping Wood With My Father" describes how Van Driessen's father was a [[TestosteronePoisoning stereotypical man's man]] who considered him a weakling "hippy freak" despite Van Driessen's attempts to get him to love him. Van Driessen's brother Tom was a strong, athletic soldier who their father [[ParentalFavoritism favored]], and who [[YouShouldHaveDiedInstead violently punched Van Driessen]] when Tom was killed in Qatar. The only time Van Driessen and his father were close was when they were chopping wood, and now he's dying from Alzheimer's. It's implied that Van Driessen won't be sad to see him go.
* AesopAmnesia: He's repeatedly learned that Beavis and Butt-Head are crude, destructive morons (particularly notable in the episode where they "clean" his house), yet continues to rather naively support and encourage them. Though it's justified as Van Driessen has an optimism very uncharacteristic of the Highland High staff.
* BerserkButton: He's very protective of his eight-tracks; Beavis and Butt-Head destroying his entire collection marked the one time in the series he angrily expressed an interest in killing them (Though he also immediately got buried underneath said collection). The rest of the time, however, he won't stand for them or any of his students being physically harmed by someone (see BewareTheNiceOnes below).
* BewareTheNiceOnes: Surprisingly, Van Driessen is very protective of Beavis and Butt-Head, despite how poorly they treat him. In the episode ''Manners Suck'' he physically attacks Mr. Manners after Beavis falsely implies that Mr. Manners molested him.
-->'''Van Driessen:''' ''(slapping Mr. Manners)'' You wanna touch my students, I'll ''touch'' you!
* ButtMonkey: Is getting attacked by a [[BearsAreBadNews bear]], [[MadeofIron thrown through a bus window off a cliff]], [[ItMakesSenseInContext flattened by Beavis in a rolling tire]], and [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking just simply failing to reach out to Beavis and Butt-Head]] enough of a hint?
* CatchPhrase:
** "Beavis and Butt-Head, what a [X] (usually "pleasant") surprise!", for whenever the duo encounter him outside of school.
** "[[VerbalTic Mmkay]]"; May or may not be the basis for [[WesternAnimation/SouthPark Mr. Mackey's]] famous VerbalTic catchphrase.
* CharacterizationMarchesOn: Originally couldn't stand Beavis and Butt-Head like anyone else and actually threatened to kill them in "Cleaning House", but at least tolerated them more than most people would. However, in later episodes, this gets toned down, as he starts to care about them and become more likable and laid-back in tone. In fact, he defends Beavis and Butt-Head when they're missing and assumed dead--something he would never have done in earlier episodes. It's worth noting that even after his changed attitude towards the duo, he's among those praying for them to ''die'' at the beginning of "It's A Miserable Life", apparently because of the possibility [[LikeFatherLikeSon that they may end up breeding]]. {{Zigzagged}} in the 90's finale, when he's the one faculty member to show any regret over the duo's (ultimately exaggerated) demise.
* CoolTeacher: The best teacher at Highland High, and seems to gain a good deal of respect for it from the students, even from someone like the thuggish Earl. His efforts are completely wasted on Beavis and Butt-Head though.
* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: In his first appearance in "Peace, Love and Understanding" he is a musical guest at the truck rally and he is killed by one of the monster trucks. The series establishes him as the boys' teacher, and his misfortunes stop just short of death.
* GranolaBoy: One of the few male examples of a vegetarian peace-lover.
* HippieTeacher: Literally. He looks as if he's still living in the 1960s.
* HorribleJudgeOfCharacter: When it comes to Beavis and Butt-Head, he doesn't seem to grasp that the duo's problem isn't that they're misunderstood or don't get enough support; they simply don't have the level of humanity he's looking for in them.
* {{Hypocrite}}: He's the only character to express regret that the duo have apparently passed on in "Beavis and Butt-Head are Dead" but in the earlier episode "It's a Miserable Life", he's among the various characters praying for them to die, citing the at-best remote chance that they could breed.
* MadeOfIron: Not even two falls off of a cliff or getting run over by a monster truck tire can keep him down.
* NewAgeRetroHippie: If he was any more of a hippie, he'd float away on a cloud of love.
* NiceGuy: He's the only teacher who's respectful towards Beavis and Butt-Head, and constantly encourages them that they can succeed if they put their hearts in it.
* NotSoAboveItAll: While for the most part, he's extremely accepting and forgiving of Beavis and Butt-Head, every now and then even Van Driessen will say something that shows he really hates and fears the duo just as much as everybody else. Like when he prayed to God in ''It's a Miserable Life'', expressing fear that the two would breed, and when he held a mock graduation ceremony in ''Graduation Day'' where he implied to Beavis and Butt-Head, in only so many words, that they have absolutely NO redeeming qualities or any future to look forward to. ''This Book Sucks'' also contains the lyrics to several of his songs, one of which is titled "The Ballad Of Beavis And Butt-Head". The song discusses how our heroes' laughter gives him nightmares and their behavior is the only thing that's ever made him consider changing careers to sell mens' wear in a mall.
* OlderThanTheyLook: In the 2022 revival, he has some bags under his eyes to show that he's aged but otherwise looks almost exactly the same as he did in the 90s with not a strand of gray hair even though he's now in his 60s and is quite possibly eligible for retirement and social security.
* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: He's the only teacher that cares about his job and believes in doing the right thing, especially in "School Test" where he reports Principal [=McVicker=] to the schoolboard when he fills in Beavis and Butt-Heads' standardized tests so that they'll pass.
* RedOniBlueOni: Always Blue. He's calm, friendly, and unlike Buzzcut and [=McVicker=], tolerant of Beavis and Butt-Head.
* SensitiveGuyAndManlyMan: The Sensitive Guy to Buzzcut's Manly Man.
* TemptingFate: Asking [[ChaoticStupid Beavis and Butt-Head]] not to touch his irreplaceable 8-track collection. Unsurprisingly, the duo manage to destroy them anyway.
* TokenGoodTeammate: Especially in the final episode before the revival, when the other teachers celebrate the death of Beavis and Butt-Head, and he asks them to be more respectful and empathic towards two dead students.
* UnfortunateNames: His last initials are V.D., which may not be coincidental given the source.
* VerbalTic: Ends most of what he says with "Mmkay?"

[[folder:Coach Bradley Buzzcut]]
[[quoteright:320:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/buzzcut_2906.jpg]]
->'''Voiced in English by:''' Creator/MikeJudge
->'''Voiced in Japanese by:''' Atsushi Tamura (''Beavis and Butt-head in Virtual Stupidity'')

A macho, ill-tempered veteran, Mr. Buzzcut is Beavis and Butt-Head's gym teacher. He tries to keep them under control through constant verbal - and often physical - abuse. Although he takes the opposite approach from Van Driessen, the dumbass duo show him only a margin of respect on account that he will kick their asses if they piss him off.
----
Tropes associated with Mr. Buzzcut:

* AlliterativeName: Although his first name is never used in the series and only appears in the books.
* AmbiguouslyGay: He has never displayed interest in women, [[TooKinkyToTorture he seemed to really enjoy Butt-Head]] [[GroinAttack kicking him in the Jimmy]], he has the boys as a gay couple in ''A Baby Makes, Uhh, Three'', and in ''Wet Behind The Tears,'' not only did he try to get them naked in public, but he also got [[ArmoredClosetGay rather offended when Butt-Head insinuated that he likes watching dudes take a shower]].
* BerserkButton:
** Never punch him, even if you are about as strong as [[WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons Mr Burns]]. ''Ever!''
-->'''Coach Buzzcut:''' (Face getting red with rage) You just made a fatal mistake, Mr. Candy-Ass! [[PreAssKickingOneLiner I hope you know something about hand-to-hand combat!]]
** Don't you dare tell him that you don't know anything about the Founding Fathers of America.
** Don't hit his students. Only he can do that.
* TheBusCameBack: [[spoiler:Despite not otherwise appearing in the 22 revival, an alternate universe alien version of Buzzcut appears in "Abduction."]]
* ChuckCunninghamSyndrome: He is yet to appear in the 2022 revival outside of ''Do the Universe''. Another gym teacher voiced by Tru Valentino appears in his place in the season 10 episode "Are You There, God? It's Me, Beavis". SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome as by 2023 he would have likely either retired or been fired for his verbal abuse of students.
* DeadpanSnarker: Low on the deadpan, high on the snarky, especially when it comes to the duo.
* TheDragon: To [[DeanBitterman McVicker]].
* TheDreaded: He is apparently feared by the Highland High student body. In "Manners Sucks", Mr. Van Driessen threatens to bring him in get his unruly class under control, and this is enough to get all the students to quiet down immediately.
* DrillSergeantNasty: He's practically an {{Expy}} of Gunnery Sergeant Hartman from ''Film/FullMetalJacket''. Made more apparent as he wore more formal attire in earlier episodes. He's also a Marine.
* EqualOpportunityEvil: In ''A Baby Makes, Uh, Three,'' he doesn't seem very disgusted by the idea of homosexual couples raising children. He may be a JerkAss, but he's no bigot. Though, it could simply be because he thought it would humiliate Beavis and Butt-Head.
* HairTriggerTemper: It takes every ounce of his strength to not kill Beavis and Butt-Head.
* HypocriticalHeartwarming: He'll damn well make sure no non-staff member will lay hands on Beavis and Butt-head... only he gets to lay an asskicking on them.
* JerkWithAHeartOfJerk: In "Candy Sale", he stops Mr. Candy from physically assaulting Beavis, but only because he believes only ''he'' can beat up his students.
-->'''Coach Buzzcut:''' This is ''my'' class! ''I'' do the ass-kicking around here!
* KarmaHoudini: Beats up and threatens Beavis and Butt-Head a lot--possibly more than even ''Todd''-- and almost never gets punished. In fact, the closest he comes to punishment that we see is him getting a notice from the P.T.A. regarding his harsh disciplinary methods, at which point he loudly threatens to kill whoever ratted him out.
* KarmaHoudiniWarranty: In "P.T.A.", the duo outs him on his abusive methods at a P.T.A. meeting, causing him to receive angry letters questioning his disciplinary methods. "Baby Makes Uh, Three" has them get away with stuffing a bag of sugar into his car's gas tank. "They're Coming To Take Me Away, Huh-Huh" implies that he was previously punished for his methods. "Safe Driving" also ends with him being genuinely terrified alongside the duo when they crash into a truck.
* KnightTemplar: He's trying to enforce responsibility and order in the classroom... with a mindset better suited to boot camp. [[DrillSergeantNasty In an active warzone.]]
* MadeOfIron: It'll take more than getting hit by a ''steamroller'' to kill him. Or a collision with an oncoming truck, assuming "Safe Driving" wasn't a retcon.
* NeverMyFault: During his flashback montage in ''Beavis & Butt-Head Are Dead,'' the clips consisted of moments of him antagonizing the duo rather than the other way around with the other characters. This seems to imply that his hatred for the duo isn't as justified as others, since [[HatesEveryoneEqually they're not the only people]] [[KickTheDog that he treats horribly]].
* NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: His DrillSergeantNasty tendencies have a strong resemblance to Creator/RLeeErmey.
* NoIndoorVoice: He barks out his lessons, demands, and lectures at the same volume--that of a drill-sergeant on the parade ground.
* NonIndicativeName: He doesn't actually have a buzzcut, despite his surname, as his hair is more of a flat-top with the sides of his head shaved off.
* NotAllowedToGrowUp: Surprisingly averted unlike essentially every other character on the show. In season 8, he appears to have aged due to his thinning hair. However, the duo's antics may have caused him to lose his hair like they did to [=McVicker=].
* PetTheDog:
** When Principal [=McVicker=] has a heart attack in ''Beavis and Butt-Head Are Dead'' Coach Buzzcut performs CPR on him.
** As much as saving Beavis and Butt-Head in "Candy Sale" is more HypocriticalHeartwarming, [[JerkassHasAPoint He's technically right that]] it's ''his'' job to punish his students.
** Heck, the fact that the duo yet ''breathe'' after he puts up with their crap on a daily basis could be this.
* RedOniBlueOni: The Red Oni to both Van Driessen and [=McVicker=].
* SadistTeacher: Goes ''far'' beyond a reasonable response when dealing with the duo, and often seems to go out of his way to humiliate them. He is shown to even torment his students that don't ignite his wrath, like Martin from ''The Young, Gifted, and Crude,'' as well as Beavis and Butt-Head when they don't throw the first punch.
* SemperFi: Buzzcut is a former United States Marine and [[UsefulNotes/TheVietnamWar Vietnam War]] veteran.
* SensitiveGuyAndManlyMan: The Manly Man to Van Dreissen's Sensitive Guy.
* SurvivalMantra: After giving mouth-to-mouth to Beavis and Butt-Head (which was another attempt at humiliation by picking them out of the rest of the class), he's seen gargling and spitting repeatedly in the bathroom, repeating the following phrase over and over:
-->'''Coach Buzzcut:''' A Marine can stand anything! A Marine can stand anything! A Marine can stand ''anything!''
* TokenEvilTeammate: Though most of the faculty are [[JerkAss jerks]] in their own right (save for [[TokenGoodTeammate Van Driessen]]), Buzzcut is regularly proven to be the worst of the worst, threatening physical violence on his students, ordering the entire class to beat up a new student and [[ArsonMurderandJaywalking always shouting at the top of his lungs for no reason]].
* TooKinkyToTorture: Shows signs of this in the infamous episode where he tells Butt-Head to "[[GroinAttack kick him in the jimmy]]" and his response is a strained-yet-enthusiastic: "Eee... YES! Do it ''again!''" He could also be trying to [[MachoMasochism show up the boys]] by [[MadeOfIron proving to them how much pain he can really endure]], but still.
* UltimateJobSecurity: He's a {{jerkass}} who berates his students, assaults them, encourages bullying, and threatens his students with bodily harm. Despite this, he manages to keep his job, presumably because Principal [=McVicker=] respects his views and often covers for him. The closest he gets to losing his job is in ''P.T.A.'', where Beavis and Butt-Head out him for his abusive behavior, which puts him under investigation.
* VocalEvolution: When he first appeared on the show, his voice was noticeably less gruff compared to later appearances.

->'''Voiced in English by:''' Creator/MikeJudge
->'''Voiced in Latin American Spanish by:''' Creator/SalvadorDelgado
->'''Voiced in Japanese by:''' Creator/KatsuhisaHouki (''Beavis and Butt-head in Virtual Stupidity'')

A nervous, high-strung bureaucrat who lives in terror of B&B and occasionally tries to get rid of them. Of course, he always fails.
----
Tropes associated with Mr. [=McVicker=]:

* TheAlcoholic: Has been driven to drinking and pill popping by the duo's antics.
* AntiVillain: He's the closest thing Beavis and Butt-Head have to an ArchEnemy but is legitimately trying to run an educational institute for the sake of learning in the face of the pair constantly being disruptive.
* BackFromTheDead: Although he apparently died of a heart attack at the end of Season 7, he appears in the season 8 episode ''Dumb Design'' proving that he wasn't dead after all. And even with the 2011 series being overridden by the 2022 revival, he's still shown at the 1998 trial for Beavis and Butt-head in ''WesternAnimation/BeavisAndButtheadDoTheUniverse'', revealing he did survive the events of "Beavis And Butt-head Are Dead".
* BadBoss: In "School Test", when Mr. Van Driessen threatens to report him to the schoolboard for filling in Beavis and Butt-Head's standardized tests, [=McVicker=] fires him and blames him for Beavis and Butt-Head's incompetence.
* BaldOfEvil: He's not exactly evil, but he is bald and antagonistic.
* BerserkButton: Beavis and Butt-Head themselves, to the point where he's almost always (justifiably) hostile towards them.
* BigBad: A SitcomArchnemesis example, being the most recurring antagonist in a position of authority to the VillainProtagonist pair. While he's not exactly villainous, he antagonizes (and in turn gets antagonized by) the duo enough to count as the "main villain" character.
* BringMyBrownPants: It's heavily implied that he soils himself in "Citizen Butt-Head" when he learns that Beavis and Butt-Head are not only still on campus for President Clinton's visit but are at the forum where the President is going to speak.
* TheBusCameBack: [[spoiler:Despite not otherwise appearing in the 2022 revival, an alternate universe alien version of McVicker appears in "Abduction."]]
* ButtMonkey: Bad things happen to him, usually thanks to Beavis and Butt-Head.
* CaughtWithYourPantsDown: Manages to get caught by Beavis and Butthead in the middle of getting spanked by a dominatrix at a seedy motel. He ends up expelling them for their troubles.
* ChuckCunninghamSyndrome: He is yet to appear in the 2022 revival outside of ''Do the Universe''. Granted, since he's most likely dead (this time for real) due to his age and deteriorating health worsened by the duo, or retired from his job.
* CigaretteOfAnxiety: He smokes several of these due to the stress Beavis and Butt-Head cause him.
* CreateYourOwnVillain: It's implied that the reason [=McVicker=] is so stressed and angry is because of our heroes' making his life miserable. When Beavis actually apologized for something, [=McVicker=] was so surprised and pleased that he actually let Beavis go. In an alternate universe where Butt-Head never existed, [=McVicker=] is shown to be a lot calmer and still have his hair. He might still be a strict disciplinarian, but he wouldn't be a heavy substance abuser always on the verge of a nervous breakdown.
* DeanBitterman: Mostly because of Beavis and Butt-Head.
* DirtyOldMan: In the movie, Beavis and Butt-Head walk in on him getting spanked by a prostitute.
* DrowningMySorrows: It's shown that the stress from having to deal with Beavis and Butt-Head causes Principal [=McVicker=] to drink heavily. He even keeps a bottle of liquor in his desk and takes hits off it while working.
* GoofyPrintUnderwear: Was wearing a pair of heart patterned boxers when the boys walk in on him getting spanked in ''Do America.''
* HairTriggerTemper: The things that Beavis and Butt-Head say or do tend to get him angry pretty quickly.
* HeroAntagonist: Considering Beavis and Butt-Head's status as {{Villain Protagonist}}s. Especially since most of his actions toward them are either justifiable responses to their shenanigans or efforts to keep them under control.
* HollywoodHeartAttack: Suffers one in the finale of the show's original run.
* IneffectualSympatheticVillain: Yes, big time.
* JerkassHasAPoint: Most of the time, he's cruel to Beavis and Butt-Head, even wishing death upon them. However, his hatred for the duo is reasonable since they are constantly causing trouble for him and the school.
* JerkassToOne: He's at his worst around the duo. Otherwise, he's cool as long as nobody pisses him off.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: He's much nicer and calmer when Beavis and Butt-Head aren't involved. Also, he did once show leniency to Beavis when he apologized for misbehaving in "The Great Cornholio".
* NervousWreck: Due to Beavis and Butt-Head's abuse. "It's a Miserable Life" shows that without Butt-Head and his ToxicFriendInfluence on Beavis, he's a lot calmer and still has his hair.
* NotSoAboveItAll: Despite his clear disdain for Beavis and Butt-Head's disruptive behavior, there are many instances where [=McVicker=] is shown to be almost as amoral and conniving as they are. For example, in the episode "Wet Behind The Rears", Beavis and Butt-Head are showering in their underwear after gym class. Suddenly, the fire alarm goes off, and they are forced to get out before they can put their clothes back on. Cue the rest of the school pointing and laughing at them and the grand revelation that the fire alarm was deliberately set off by [=McVicker=] and Buzzcut to humiliate Beavis and Butt-Head.
* PerpetualFrowner: He is almost always shown in a sour mood, mainly due to the duo's terrible behavior.
* PetTheDog: In "The Great Cornholio" when Beavis apologizes for being disruptive, [=McVicker=] decides to just let him go without punishing him (as it's the first time either of the duo has ever apologized for anything), even saying that he's [[SoProudOfYou proud of him]].
* RedOniBlueOni: The Blue Oni to Buzzcut's Red. Buzzcut is abusive to all his students and has NoIndoorVoice, while [=McVicker=] is only really angry when Beavis and Butt-Head are involved. He's also a Red Oni to Van Driessen.
* SanitySlippage: He suffers an epic one in "They're Coming To Take Me Away, Huh-Huh" to the point that not only is he committed to a mental hospital due to Beavis and Butt-Head's antics, but even so much as seeing the duo triggers him.
* SitcomArchNemesis: He's an overworked, stressed-out principal, and rather old-fashioned in his thoughts towards student discipline, but he's not exactly EVIL. But then again, it's still hilarious to watch Beavis and Butt-Head drive him nuts, too.
* VerbalTic: His noticeable "Uhhhh".
* VillainousBreakdown: Well, it'd be more accurate to call it an ''antagonistic'' breakdown rather than a ''villainous'' one, but he's had a few regardless.
** The episode "Breakdown" centers around [=McVicker=] going through a worsening freak-out from the sheer stress Beavis and Butt-Head have caused him, resulting in him getting institutionalized.
** In the original finale, "Beavis and Butt-Head are Dead", after spending the whole episode celebrating their deaths, the shock of seeing them alive induces a massive FreakOut in [=McVicker=] where he recalls all the assorted stunts they pulled over the years via a montage and ends with him suffering a heart attack.
** He has one in the episode "School Test" when he finds out that all the time Beavis and Butt-head spent doing their standardized tests and all they wrote was their names. He angrily kicks a chair and starts cheating on their tests, and when Van Driessen states that he will have to report this, [=McVicker=] fires him and blames him for the duo's stupidity.
** The episode "Citizen Butt-Head" has him soil himself when he learns that Beavis and Butt-Head are at the school forum where President Bill Clinton is about to speak. He then goes berserk and runs madly out of his office, across the Highland High campus and into the gym where the forum's happening. He lunges for Beavis and Butt-Head, but gets beat up by the Secret Service when they think he's after the President.

!Other Adults
[[folder:Tom Anderson]]
[[quoteright:211:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/mr__tom_anderson_2140.png]]

The duo's next-door neighbor and frequent victim. He's smart enough to realize that the boys are a menace, but too old and senile to do anything about it.
----
Tropes associated with Mr. Anderson:
* AesopAmnesia: Keeps rehiring the duo because he keeps forgetting what they look like, despite wrecking his yard every time. He does eventually catch on and stops hiring helpers for his yard work, not that it stops Beavis and Butt-Head from ruining things.
* AscendedExtra: A mild example, as Anderson had always been a major supporting character in the original series. However, in the 2022 revival, he's given just a little more spotlight and even gets his own shorts describing his (mis)adventures during wartime. And ultimately, given how many previous important supporting characters like [=McVicker=], Buzzcut, Stewart, the Burger World manager, Todd, and Daria are either gone or DemotedToExtra, Tom Anderson's prominence in the 2022 series has gone up as a side effect, with Anderson now possibly being the third most important character in the show after the titular duo.
* BlindMistake: Even with his glasses on he has blurry vision which is why the dense duo are able to fool him half the time.
* ButtMonkey: Every time he hires the duo to work on his yard, something bad happens. And even then, something wrong is bound to happen to him if Beavis and Butt-Head even go near him. It gets taken to a new level in ''Do America'', where almost all of his scenes have something bad happen to him, [[spoiler:and he's eventually mistaken for a terrorist]].
* {{Catchphrase}}: "What in the hell?!"
** "Aren't you the same kids who [X]?" (or something else along those lines)
* CoolOldGuy: He's fairly laid-back and friendly, as long as things aren't working against him.
* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: For all of his ButtMonkey tendencies and his senility, Anderson is still strong enough to knock a man flat with one punch in "Steamroller". Yet, he gets knocked down in one punch in "Daughter's Hand". He's also [[RetiredBadass a war veteran]].
* {{Eagleland}}: He's very patriotic and frequently shares war stories of his time in World War II and Korea.
* KindheartedSimpleton: He doesn't ''quite'' reach the stupidity of Beavis and Butt-head but he's still pretty incompetent and senile as both a young soldier and an old man. Concurrently, he's also shown to be kind, generous, and usually tries to be helpful to people, despite Beavis and Butt-head repeatedly taking advantage of him and Anderson focusing on SkewedPriorities during wartime to the possible detriment to the men and civilians under him. At the end of the day, Tom Anderson is the sort of man who's genuinely a kind, decent fellow but isn't exactly the sharpest tool in the shed either.
* MrFixit: For all his foibles, Anderson is a very focused and skilled handyman. He was even able to fix a malfunctioning anal-probing device on an interdimensional spaceship that by all accounts was more technologically advanced than ''anything else'' on Earth.
* MythologyGag: Starting in the 2022 revival, he gets many jokes referencing King of the Hill, the show he helped inspire.
* NiceGuy: For the most part, he's a pretty decent guy, and lets the duo help him as long as they don't screw up (and they're not "them same kids" who cause him trouble all the time). He's also an honorable veteran, and not in a violent way like Buzzcut.
* OlderThanTheyLook: In the 2022 revival. If he's a WWII veteran, he'd be in his late 90s at youngest by 2022. Yet, he still looks the same as he did in 1998. He must be a healthy man in spite of his issues.
* OnlySaneMan: One of the most level-headed adults in the series, even with some forgetfulness. That doesn't stop him from being fooled by the duo, though.
* OverrankedSoldier: His war story shorts show Anderson to be in command of other soldiers but shows SkewedPriorities in focusing on routine maintenance and repairs rather than going to the battle but in present days is still an honored veteran with apparently no dishonorable discharge despite showing some degree of incompetence during wartime. Presumably, the fact that he only focused on technical/menial tasks within his legal jurisdiction as an officer rather than desert the battlefield or become a turncoat might've saved him. Or it's possible that off-screen, his maintenance actually did help his unit fight better and they decided to let his behavior slide. Alternately, as "Korean Farmhouse" seemingly hints at, it's also possible that during some of his moments of incompetency, most of the soldiers and civilians under him got killed while Anderson survived and escaped somehow... ensuring that there was ''nobody left'' to report his incompetency.
* PapaWolf: In "Daughter's Hand", when he sees Victoria's dad attacking the duo, he steps in and fights him off. One might even qualify this as a ''Papa Wolf Showdown''.
* RamblingOldManMonologue: He has a bad habit of just launching into an overlong speech about some past experience of his that might be somewhat related to the current subject being discussed, and always to people who obviously don't care or aren't listening. The "War Story" shorts show he's been doing this back when he was a soldier, long before he got old in the first place.
* ShellShockedVeteran: Implied in "Foreign Exchange" when he discusses his time in a Japanese POW camp. He later has a flashback, mistaking Beavis and Butt-Head for [[BigDamnHeroes the Marines who rescued him]].
* SkewedPriorities: His war stories show him repeatedly being more focused on doing routine maintenance and repair on machines suffering minor problems rather than participating in the active battle. One has him trying to fix a windshield wiper on a Jeep just miles away from the Battle of Heartbreak Ridge while artillery shells are dropping all around him!
* ThrowTheDogABone: Receives several in the 2022 revival:
** In the universe of Old Beavis and Butt-Head, he and his fellow veterans beat the crap out of the duo for flying the Vietcong flag, and hang them from the flagpole by their underwear.
** In "The New Enemy" he sprays the duo with mace when they come towards him.
** Finally, in "Abduction" he gets away scot free, while Smart Beavis gets anally probed.
* WithFriendsLikeThese: The ''Ensucklopedia'' has a section devoted to his exploits in World War II. His fellow soldiers treated him similarly to how Beavis and Butt-Head treat Stewart, though he still seems pretty clueless about it.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Mr. And Mrs. Stevenson]]
Stewart's less-than-ideal parents.
----
Tropes associated with the Stevensons:

* AbusiveParents: Mr. Stevenson has demonstrated that when confronted with an issue (such as the uncovering of his porno stack), he will essentially try to pin all the blame on Stewart. Not to mention how he was pretty willing to have Stewart get his ass kicked by Harry Sachz to save himself.
* AssShove: Mr. Stevenson fell victim to this when Harry Sachz attacked him under the impression that he was the one behind the repeated prank-calls that Sachz had to deal with.
* {{Catchphrase}}:
** "Oh dear!" for Mrs. Stevenson
* DependingOnTheWriter: Mr. Stevenson can be pretty friendly with Beavis and Butt-Head in some episodes, but in others, he hates them as much as the rest of the adults in Highland. He's also either a teacher at Highland High, or he's an office worker, though you can say that he quit his former job due to the duo.
* DirtyCoward: Mr. Stevenson shows this at times, such as the AbusiveParents example above.
* DumbBlonde: Mrs. Stevenson, while nowhere near as much as Beavis, is still rather air-headed in her own right, and seems clueless about the duo's destructive nature ([[DependingOnTheWriter most of the time]]).
* EnragedByIdiocy: Mr. Stevenson is one of the more vocal characters about Beavis and Butt-Head's stupidity, and won't hesitate to attack them if they piss him off.
* TheGenericGuy: Earlier episodes use Mr. Stevenson as a generic extra character, such as an irate customer in "Customers Suck" and as one of Beavis and Butt-Head's teachers in "No Laughing". Later episodes rarely use him as anything other than Stewart's dad.
* HairTriggerTemper: Mr. Stevenson is prone to getting pissed off, mainly by the duo.
* HorribleJudgeOfCharacter: Zigzagged. Sometimes, Mrs. Stevenson doesn't seem to be aware of how awful Beavis and Butt-Head are and just thinks that they're good friends of Stewart's. Other times, she is, particularly in "It's a Miserable Life", where she expresses fear that they'll be a bad influence on her son.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Despite his issues, Mr. Stevenson does have his odd moment of benevolence, as mentioned above, and lets the duo hang out with Stewart despite their negative influence and treatment of him (which may or may not tell us more about his lousy parenting).
* LaserGuidedKarma: Mr. Stevenson, after trying to get Harry Sachz to go after Stewart to save himself, ends up [[AssShove having a phone shoved where, in Harry's words, he'd "have an awful hard time dialing it".]]
* MyBelovedSmother: Mrs. Stevenson treats Stewart as though he were a much younger child, such as "shielding his mind from corruption" on TV. She often justifies it due to being a mother; however, considering the company he likes to keep in Beavis and Butt-Head, [[WithFriendsLikeThese one can't blame her for wanting to protect him]]; if only the same could be said about her husband.
* StacysMom: Mrs. Stevenson, to Butt-Head at least who periodically makes passes at her.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Lolita and Tanqueray]]
Two trailer trash girls who are recurring objects of lust for Beavis and Butt-Head.
-----
Tropes associated with Lolita and Tanqueray:
* AffectionateNickname: Tanqueray calls Beavis "sugar britches".
* EarlyInstallmentCharacterDesignDifference: They look completely different in "Tornado" than they do in "Date Bait" and "Teen Talk".
* FilleFatale: Especially in "Date Bait".
* MeaningfulName: "Lolita" implies their status as sex objects for the duo and for older men and "Tanqueray" is a brand of gin which implies their trailer trash background.
* OffToSeeTheWizard: They crash-land in Oz in "Tornado" and are glad to be away from Beavis and Butt-Head, but the Munchkins are just as raunchy as our heroes.
* PutOnABus: They appeared in three episodes between 1993 and 1994 and have never appeared again.
* RaceLift: Lolita appears to be African-American or at least AmbiguouslyBrown in "Tornado" but is Caucasian in "Date Bait and "Teen Talk".
* ReallyGetsAround: Strongly implied, especially in "Teen Talk" where they make out with two older men just because Beavis and Butt-head weren't around, and tell Beavis and Butt-head that they starred in a porn video, despite possibly being minors.
* ThoseTwoGuys: They are never seen without each other.
* TrailerParkTornadoMagnet: Their trailer park attracts a tornado in "Tornado".
* TheVamp: They take advantage of B&B in "Date Bait".

[[folder:Hamid]]
[[quoteright:332:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/hamid_4791.png]]

A character created for the 2011 {{revival}}, Hamid appears to be an immigrant from the Middle East. He's yet another adult victim of Beavis and Butt-Head--he's lost two jobs due to their antics.
----
Tropes associated with Hamid:
%%* BigOlUnibrow
* ButtMonkey: Is constantly on the receiving end of the boys' antics; they have cost him two jobs.
* FunnyForeigner: Appears to be from somewhere in the Middle East.
* HonestJohnsDealership: Hamid himself isn't particularly unscrupulous but he does end up working for one at one point.
* NewJobAsThePlotDemands: He's at a new job each time we see him, usually because Beavis and Butt-head did something to get him fired from the last one.
* OperatorFromIndia: Subverted in "Tech Support" He is much more likely from the Middle East than India and obviously lives in Highland instead too.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Crazy Old Farmer/Janitor]]
[[quoteright:180:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/crazy_farmer_small_831.png]]

A creepy, mysterious old man who appears in only a few episodes--fortunately for Beavis, because this character has killed him ''twice''.
----
Tropes associated with... whatever this dude's name is:

* AmbiguouslyHuman: In the Halloween episode, he's done ''something'' to Butt-Head to have him gleefully join him in murdering Beavis with chainsaws.
* AxCrazy: Cemented when he kills Beavis.
* BaldOfEvil: He's bald and psycho.
* {{Catchphrase}}: "This is liable to get messy!"
* DependingOnTheWriter: While he's known for his blue skin, some episodes also portray him as having normal skin. Him having the blue skin tends to indicate a more villainous role.
* DisproportionateRetribution: Kills Beavis just for trespassing on his lawn.
* EvilLaugh: He can be heard doing an unhinged sounding chuckle throughout his appearance in "Bungholio: Lord of the Harvest".
%%* {{Jerkass}}
* KarmaHoudini: Presumably because he only attacks the duo near the end of the episodes that he appears in.
* NightmareFuelStationAttendant: Has a creepy laugh whenever he's about to do something horrific.
* TheSociopath: Shows no mercy for his victims and in an episode was quick to judge the duo's foolish behavior.
* VileVillainSaccharineShow: The series isn't "saccharine" by any means, but he's a rather [[KnightOfCerebus strange and frightening villain]] in a show that's normally pretty crude and comedic.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Todd Ianuzzi]]
[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/todd_ianuzzi_477.jpg]]
->'''Voiced in English by:''' Creator/TobyHuss (under the pseudonym Rottiilio Michieli in the original series), Creator/MikeJudge (The Crush)
->'''Voiced in Japanese by:''' Creator/FumihikoTachiki (''Beavis and Butt-head in Virtual Stupidity'')

A local thug who is the unwilling recipient of Beavis and Butt-Head's "hero" worship. While he regards the boys with open contempt and frequently beats them up, they admire him too much to leave him alone.
----
Tropes associated with Todd:

* AntiRoleModel: Beavis and Butt-Head worship him, despite being a ruthless thug.
* BrokenPedestal: To Beavis anyway, as of ''Do the Universe'', if his daydream is anything to imply.
* TheBully: If he's not threatening to [[NoHoldsBarredBeatdown beat the other-loving hell]] out of Beavis and Butt-Head, then it's because he's busy doing just that,([[HorribleJudgeofCharacter not that they mind, though]]).
* TheBusCameBack: [[spoiler:Despite otherwise being absent in the 2022 revival, an alternate universe alien version of Todd appears in "Abduction."]]
* TheCasanova: Almost all the girls get him, despite his nature.
* CharacterizationMarchesOn: In early episodes, he would have some lame excuse for why he doesn't beat up Beavis and Butt-Head, and the two briefly wonder why he doesn't beat up the prissy looking tennis player who asks him to turn his music down, indicating that he [[PaperTiger wasn't as tough as the duo believed]]. In later episodes, he wastes no time beating the boys or anybody else who pisses him off.
* ChuckCunninghamSyndrome: He is yet to appear in the 2022 revival outside of ''Do the Universe''.
* EvenEvilHasStandards:
** In the BreatherEpisode, he doesn't give Beavis and Butt-Head a beating because they handed over some money like he told them to, so he doesn't have a reason to do it (he even THANKS them!). Though he does immediately end up crashing into another car and picks a fight with the driver instead.
* EvenTheGuysWantHim: At least to the extent that Beavis & Butt-Head want to join his gang.
* EvilIsPetty: Even accounting for the fact that he's not much more than a local hoodlum, his actions against Beavis and Butt-Head are extremely petty. He's stolen their snacks on multiple occasions, and he once crashed a "party" they were having just so he could kick them out and throw his own.
* FirstNameBasis: His last name was revealed in ''This Book Sucks'', but he is never addressed with it in the series, so everyone just calls him Todd.
* HairTriggerTemper: It doesn't take much to piss him off. If anything, it seems like he's ''always'' pissed off and just looking for an excuse to commit some violence.
* HateSink: In a show full of dysfunctional characters, even the duo can have their heartwarming moments and hard-nosed authority figures like [=McVicker=] and Buzzcut, who given that they have to deal with the duo's antics on a regular basis could come off as outright ''sympathetic'', can also occasionally show warmth towards their students. In contrast to all of them, Todd shows no remotely positive, likable, or even humorous qualities whatsoever and remains as a petty {{Jerkass}} who commits crimes, bullies those weaker than him, and outside of a literal handful (as in you can count these on one hand) of PetTheDog moments acts the lout from beginning to end.
* {{Jerkass}}: Incredibly so. He's a ruthless bully played straight. He makes Butt-Head look like a saint.
* KarmaHoudini: At least until the cops come, that is. And in ''Snitchers'', he gets off scot-free after brutally beating someone, despite the duo constantly saying he did it (though they weren't even trying to use their testimony against him anyway, since they enjoyed watching it and meant to describe it in a positive light).
* KarmaHoudiniWarranty:
** He gets it in the ''Virtual Stupidity'' video game, where he actually finds himself at the brunt of the duo's antics, as they get him injured and have him recover in their home. And he gets arrested at the end, too.
** Even though it was Beavis' daydream, in ''Do the Universe'', he gets beheaded by Serena after threatening Beavis, given that he always gets off with menacing the duo.
* PetTheDog:
** Same as with Buzzcut, and arguably even moreso given that he's a lawless, violent sociopath with a targeted hatred for the boys, there's the fact that Beavis and Butt-Head are even allowed to continue to ''exist'' after every time they cross paths with him.
** In the ''Virtual Stupidity'' video game, he actually sticks to his word of letting the duo into his gang for getting his car back, but under the condition that they don't screw up. Needless to say, they do, and he gets pissed, but it's still a big step.
** When he thanks the two for giving him money in ''A Great Day'', he sounds genuinely grateful.
* SinisterShades: Is almost always seen with his sunglasses.
* SleevesAreForWimps: ...and in his blue sleeveless shirt.
* StopWorshippingMe: Towards Beavis and Butt-Head.
* VocalEvolution: In his first appearance, he sounded more aggressive, and his voice was a little clearer. This was because Mike Judge voiced him. After that, Toby Huss gave him a calmer yet more sinister voice.

[[/folder]]

[[folder:Billy Bob]]
[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/billy_bob_1512.jpg]]

A morbidly obese hillbilly who occasionally gets caught up in the boys' misadventures.
----
Tropes associated with Billy Bob:

* BerserkButton: Making off with his scooter is ''not'' a good idea...
* BigEater: Hinted massively in "Bedpans and Broomsticks", where he is first shown in a doctor's office for artery problems and suffers from MeatOVision.
* CigarChomper: He even has one when he's on the treadmill.
* FatSlob: As a result of his poor diet and lack of exercise.
* HandicappedBadass: He's able to run at a pace to keep up with Beavis and Butt-Head, despite having suffered from six coronary bypasses, and needing a scooter just to get around.
* LightningBruiser: Sure, he's fatter then [[WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy Peter Griffin]], but [[{{Acrofatic}} he can move fast enough to keep pace with a]] ''[[{{Acrofatic}} scooter]]'' & [[ThereWasADoor smash through walls]] [[StoutStrength extremely easily]].
* MadeOfIron: If nothing else, Billy Bob can take a beating and keep on ticking.
* NakedPeopleAreFunny: After the duo steal his scooter while he's taking a medical examination in ''Bedpans and Broomsticks'', he ends up chasing them down in nothing but his tighty-whites [[FanDisservice which leave nothing to the imagination given how large he is]].
* PutOnABus: Only appears in early episodes with the exception of a cameo in "Blackout", although a similar character appears at the end of "Massage" in season 8.
* StoutStrength: He can smash through walls with just his rage alone and he's rather obese.
* UnstoppableRage: Quite possibly the only reason a man with six coronary bypasses could continue chasing Beavis and Butt-Head on a scooter for a good period of time.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Harry Sachz]]
An ill-tempered middle-aged man with a history of crime and violence, and a silly-sounding name, which the duo naturally make fun of, and take advantage of in a series of crank calls.
----
Tropes associated with Harry:

* AssShove: Invokes this on a hapless (but totally deserving) Mr. Stevenson -- with a ''phone'' -- after a combination of too many crank calls from Beavis and Butt-Head and a case of mistaken identity.
* AxCrazy: NEVER piss him off...
* BackFromTheDead: Despite having been gut-shot in "Butt Flambe", and seen dying of his wounds in the hospital, he returns in Season 8.
* BaldOfEvil: While he has some hair growing down from the back, the top is empty.
* BerserkButton: Prank calling him and breaking into his house are two big no-nos.
* ButtMonkey: In "Prank Call", he gets repeated crank calls from Beavis and Butt-Head for over a month.
* DubNameChange: For some bizarre reason (through not by censorship, mind you), the Latin American Spanish subtitles changed his named to ''[[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jesus_Jones Jesus Jones]]'', the name of a British rock band which was famous in the same time period. It's worth to mention here, because the Spanish subtitles were ''more profane'' than the original English dialogue. To be fair, "Harry Sachz" only has sense in English anyway.
* HairTriggerTemper: He's quick to anger and willing to get violent.
* KickTheSonOfABitch: He brutally beats up Mr. Stevenson, who was willing to throw Stewart under the bus to save his own skin.
* MisplacedRetribution: He gives Mr. Stevenson an AssShove when he mistakes him as his prank caller.
* NoHoldsBarredBeatdown: Threatens to do this to Beavis and Butt-Head in "Prank Call", which he does end up doing in "Butt Flambé".
* SanitySlippage: Weeks of constant crank calls from Beavis and Butt-Head drive him over the edge and cause him to seek violent retribution.
* StoutStrength: His considerable gut doesn't stop him from being able to kick a door clear off its hinges.
* UnfortunateNames: His first and last names when said in sequence, which is why Beavis and Butt-Head decide to prank-dial him in the first place.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Burger World Manager]]
The manager of Burger World, who's also Beavis and Butt-Head's boss, and a pretty lousy one if he's willing to keep them on board.
----
Tropes associated with the Burger World Manager:

* BenevolentBoss: He's this just by sheer virtue of still keeping Beavis and Butt-Head employed no matter how many times they screw up on the job, get him injured, or ruin the reputation of Burger World beyond salvage. The worst he ever does is scold them, try to attack them at the end of "Work is Death", and in ''Beavis and Butt-head Do Christmas'', seemingly slaps Butt-head off screen as Beavis dozes off. In any other work of fiction, it would make the Burger World manager a BadBoss... but given everything Butt-head has done on the job, ''Butt-head'' comes off as the one who got off lightly with one hit despite ruining the restaurant's reputation multiple times over. [[spoiler:That being said, he seems to have finally given up on them in the alternate timeline where the duo didn't time travel, if Beavis being unemployed since 1999 is anything to go by.]]
* ButtMonkey: He's often on the bad end of things, because the two rarely do their job right. He should just fire them before they do further damage.
* ChuckCunninghamSyndrome: In the 2022 revival, Burger World has a new manager. It can be assumed that he either transferred to a new restaurant, he was fired for letting Beavis and Butt-Head cause so much trouble for his store, or he may have simply retired during the long period of time Beavis and Butt-head went missing.
* EnragedByIdiocy: He has little patience for Beavis and Butt-Head not doing their jobs as he asks. Yet he never fires them...
* IncompetenceInc: He and his Burger World franchise are this just because he [[UltimateJobSecurity hasn't fired Beavis and Butt-Head]] despite everything, from their laziness and rudeness towards customers to ''getting the place shut down for health violations by selling tainted meat''. What is most notable is that despite all his talk about how he got ahead in life through hard work, the manager isn't really seen on screen doing any work of note aside from giving orders to Beavis and Butt-Head. The ''only'' time we see him out at the front doing something is when the duo has screwed something up to the point where he has no choice but to go out there and deal with angry customers.
* LampshadeHanging: When confronting the duo about their slacking off, he asks if they screw around that much in school while mentioning that their principal wouldn't tolerate it one bit. And we all know [=McVicker=]...
* NoNameGiven: Surprisingly, his first name is never addressed, despite being a recurring character. Beavis and Butt-head always refer to him as "that manager dude".
* PointyHairedBoss: Despite being the superior to Beavis and Butt-Head, he never fires them for any of their antics nor keeps them in line, instead just telling them to get back to work.
* UltimateJobSecurity: The fact that Beavis and Butt-Head have managed to keep their jobs, despite everything, proves that he is either just as incompetent as they are, or at least utterly desperate because no one else will work there.
* {{Workaholic}}: He talks about how he wanted to make it to the top and put a lot of hard work in it. He certainly doesn't put a lot of effort into keeping the duo in check at work, though.

[[folder:Burger World Manager (2022 revival)]]
The manager of Burger World as of 2022. It's unknown how long he's been working there or if he's the immediate replacement of the former manager
----
Tropes associated with Burger World Manager (2022 revival):

* IncompetenceInc: Even more so than his predecessor to where he tolerates the boys. Even Beavis using the mop to wipe ketchup and mustard on the floors isn't even enough to merit any serious response from the new manager.
* SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: He looks and sounds similar to his predecessor, only he's a bit slimmer and black.

[[folder:Mr. Manners]]

* ContinuityNod: In "Candy Sale" he says it took him six months to find a job after the events of Mr. Manners.
* MistakenForPedophile: Beavis gets him fired in his debut episode by telling Van Driessen that he touched him.
* SpecialGuest: Voiced by David Spade.
* WimpFight: He has this with Van Driessen in his first appearance, consisting of the two slapping each other and pulling each other's hair. He doesn't get so lucky in his second appearance when he's forced to [[CurbStompBattle contend with Coach Buzzcut]].
* WouldHurtAChild: Or at least Beavis and Butt-Head, which gets him in trouble with Van Driessen and Buzzcut.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Shirley Beavis]]

* ReallyGetsAround: At least according to Butt-Head's father, as well as Butt-Head himself, who always goes on about how she has sex with so many guys, to Beavis' chagrin.
* StacysMom: Butt-Head constantly calls her a slut, especially in the 2022 revival, and has joked about sleeping with her to Beavis.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Marcie Anderson]]

Tom Anderson's seldom-seen wife.

* TheBusCameBack: After making a handful of appearances in the show's original run and ''Do America'', she was absent in the 2011 revival and ''Do the Universe''. However, she was mentioned by Tom in "Roof" and "Locked Out" before finally reappearing in the episode "The Good Deed".
* NiceGirl: From what we see of her, she seems like a kind old lady, and seems oblivious to how destructive the duo are.
* SatelliteCharacter: Only appears in episodes with her husband with the exception of "Jump!" where she makes a silent cameo in a crowd scene.
* SuddenNameChange: Her name was spelled "Marcy" in her (and Tom's) debut appearance "Good Credit", but is spelled "Marcie" in season 7's "Shopping Cart" (her last appearance of the original series) and the credits of "The Good Deed".

[[/folder]]

----
* AccidentalMisnaming: Calls the boys Travis and Bob-Head.
* CoolOldLady: Is polite to the boys and is taking a bus trip across America after losing in Vegas.
* DistaffCounterpart: Can be considered this to Tom Anderson, as her advanced age and hearing loss causes her to view the boys as innocent and well mannered. Unlike Anderson, the boys, for the most part, treat her with respect.
* NiceJobBreakingItHero: She unleashes Cornholio twice in the movie in an effort to help Beavis. The first time, she gives Beavis caffeine pills after he says he's tired. The second time, she tries to give Beavis Xanax after he gets beat up by the bus driver, but neither can read the label.
* NoNameGiven: Her name is never said in the movie itself. According to the screenplay, it's Martha.
* OneDialogueTwoConversations: On the plane ride to Las Vegas, her and the boys have this.
* OddFriendship: Develops one with the boys, especially Beavis.
* SmallRoleBigImpact: Despite losing track of Beavis and Butt-Head after the bus ride to the White House, her trying to help Beavis relax by giving him caffeine pills (thinking they're Xanax) unwittingly causes her to unleash Cornholio, which leads to the climax of the movie.
* SpeechImpediment: She tends to slur her words. To achieve this, Cloris Leachman would suck on hard candies or eat a sandwich and let it stick to the roof of her mouth.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Dallas Grimes]]
->'''Voiced in English by:''' Creator/DemiMoore
An attractive arms smuggler who Beavis and Butt-Head were hired "to do".
----
* BigBadDuumvirate: With her ex-husband Muddy. Muddy pushes the dimwitted duo into their adventure and provides an immediate threat while Dallas kickstarted the main conflict.
* MacGuffinDeliveryService: Attempts this by sewing the unit into Beavis's pants and telling the duo to take the bus to Washington, while she follows in her car. However, the pair get massively sidetracked.
* MsFanservice: She teases the dimwitted duo with a false promise of sex, then honeytraps Muddy with actual sex.
* OutlawCouple: With her ex Muddy. Subverted in that they're already separated and she only seduced him to get his guard down and sell him out.
[[/folder]]

%% * InkSuitActor:
* WellIntentionedExtremist: While he goes a little overboard, he's still trying to prevent the release of the virus in the X-5.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Agent Bork]]
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Serena Ryan]]
->'''Voiced in English by:''' Andrea Savage
Captain of the Endeavor, and later Governor of Texas.
----
* AmbiguousSituation: Did she really follow Smart Beavis and Smart Butt-Head because of Smart Beavis's LoveConfession, or did she leave to avoid facing up to her mistakes? The fact that she took off after she and Smart Beavis scored and has ghosted him ever since suggests the latter.
* ContrastingSequelAntagonist: Serena Ryan fills a very similar niche to Dallas Grimes from the first movie, particularly with the boys' desire to "score" with Serena driving the plot of the movie, much like with their attraction to Dallas but ends up being a very different kind of antagonist. Dress-wise, Dallas tends to wear more skimpy clothing while Serena dresses more modestly by comparison. While Dallas was an open criminal and terrorist, Serena managed to lead a more legit political career and whatever corrupt, criminal things she did were done in secrecy, without exposure. Dallas was also openly hostile to Beavis and Butt-head to begin with and despite acting seductive to get what she wanted out of them, had no intention of ever "scoring" with them and notably never undergoes a HeelFaceTurn. Serena, on the other hand, is actually genuinely friendly with the boys to begin with and despite growing more hostile to them throughout the movie, eventually gives up on that hostility, has her HeelRealization, and consents to their desires, albeit with some small reluctance.
* CorruptPolitician: Implies she did many underhanded methods to become governor.
* HeelRealization: Has one when she realizes Beavis and Butt-Head never wanted to kill her, they wanted to sleep wit her.
* InkSuitActor: Very much resembles Andrea Savage.
* KarmaHoudini: [[spoiler:Granted, she does have a HeelRealization when she realizes that the duo were just trying to score with her instead of killing her, but Serena also admitted to committing several crimes in her political career, including murder, and hooks up with Smart Beavis instead of facing legal consequences (while Hartson is sucked into the portal back to TheNineties).]]
* SanitySlippage: Being trapped in space on the brink of death for three weeks, which included having to eat one of her fellow astronauts to survive, didn't do her sanity any favors.
* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: After she and Smart Beavis scored, she immediately left and doesn't return phone calls or texts.
* SexForServices: Once she realizes the duo just wanted to score with her, she agrees to sleep with them to buy their silence. She instead, however, sleeps with Smart Beavis as a means of escaping with him to avoid facing any responsiblity for her crimes.
* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: What happened to her after she left Smart Beavis isn't said. She's presumably knocking around the multiverse somewhere (or some''when'').
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Jim Hartson]]
->'''Voiced in English by:''' Nat Faxon
Serena's long-suffering second-in-command.
----
* ButtMonkey: [[NoRespectGuy No one listens to him, and Serena treats him like a servant]]. This leads to him betraying her later on.
* RevengeBeforeReason: [[spoiler:He is so determined to expose Serena's crimes to get back at her mistreatment of him that he blocks off access to the portal the smart versions of the boys summoned with his body, and continues to stay in place while calling the Whistleblower's Hotline even while he's getting sucked in.]]

[[folder:Beavis]]
[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/beavis_6360.jpg]]

Beavis is (even) dumber than Butt-Head, and more than a little crazy. He has an alter ego called "The Great Cornholio" that emerges when he has too much sugar or caffeine.

Tropes associated with Beavis:

* AdaptationalIntelligence: ''Do America'' depicts him as a GeniusDitz who's slightly smarter than Butt-Head.
* AffablyEvil: Well... ''evil'' maybe a bit of a stretch, but he's genuinely outgoing with people whenever he's not creating chaos with Butt-Head.
* AmbiguousInnocence: On one hand, Beavis' head is always in the gutter, he has an appetite for destruction, and a disturbing obsession with fire. However, he can also be polite when left to his own devices, is capable of enjoying more childish pursuits, and has an impression that a relationship can involve more than just sex, implying he may just be a dumb kid who doesn't know any better. "It's a Miserable Life" shows that without Butt-Head, Beavis could have grown up to become a decent, if still incredibly dim, person, showing his worst aspects are due to Butt-Head's influence, bullying, and pressure. That said, when Butt-Head ''does'' become a nicer person in "Nice Butt-Head'', Beavis becomes furious and eventually gives Butt-Head a NoHoldsBarredBeatdown to try and restore him to his previous self (though that could just be him being afraid of change).
* AxCrazy: Shows some hints of this whenever Butt-Head [[TheDogBitesBack pushes him too far]].
* BadBoss: In "Huh-Huh-Humbug" as an {{expy}} of [[Literature/AChristmasCarol Ebenezer Scrooge]].
* BerserkButton:
** Out of every insult slung at him, "buttknocker" is the one that particularly sets Beavis off, as seen in "Murder Site".
** Never, ''ever'' complain about scoring in front of Beavis. It'll drive him into a blind rage as shown in a reaction video in the 2022 revival episode "Bone Hunters".
* BigOlEyebrows: He has very prominent, wavy, caterpillar-like eyebrows.
* CatchPhrase:
** "Boi-oi-oi-oi-oi-oi-oi-oing-ng-ng-ng-ng!" He usually says this to indicate when he's got an erection.
** As Cornholio, he has two: "I am the Great Cornholio! I need TP for my bunghole!" and [[IsThatAThreat "Are you threatening me?"]]
** "Thank you, drive-through".
** "Hey, how's it going?" His go-to greeting to anyone he meets.
* CharacterizationMarchesOn: In the earlier seasons, Beavis spoke much less and often just said "yeah". Also, his laugh sounded more like he was clearing his throat.
* CheatedAngle: He nearly always has his face in ¾ view, no matter which way his body is facing.
* TheChewToy: More prone to AmusingInjuries. He's also easily tricked and manipulated by Butt-Head.
* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: More eccentric and crazy than Butt-Head.
* CluelessChickMagnet: Unlike Butt-Head, Beavis actually ''has'' had girls show an attraction to him. These being the lady who runs the dating agency in "Vidiots", the female prison guard in ''Virtual Stupidity'', and Glennis in "Weird Girl". However, in all these cases, he's completely oblivious to their very obvious attractions toward him, so nothing ever comes of it.
* CollectorOfTheStrange: In “The Pipe Of Doom”, he states that instead of flushing his poop down the toilet, he puts them in little jars and brings them to his basement. [[LampshadeHanging Butt-Head tells him that’s disgusting]].
* CreepyBlueEyes: At one point in the MushroomSamba scene in the movie, he is shown with electric blue eyes while Butt-Head is shown with brown eyes.
* DependingOnTheWriter: How much of a {{Jerkass}} Beavis is. Some episodes portray him as significantly nicer than Butt-Head, while others show that he's nearly as bad as Butt-Head, if not just as bad, period.
* TheDitz: Butt-Head isn't too bright, but Beavis makes him look average in intelligence.
* TheDogBitesBack: He has limits to Butt-Head's abuse, particularly whenever he [[GroinAttack kicks him in the nuts]].
* DumbBlonde: Has blonde hair and the IQ of a human brick.
* DumbIsGood: Beavis is the dumber of the duo, but also the nicer of the duo.
* EveryoneHasStandards: In the episode "Ball Breakers", Beavis wonders about people facing collateral damage for a destructive experiment. Butt-Head waves this off as unlikely.
* ExtremeDoormat: He generally just stands there and ''lets'' Butt-Head abuse him constantly, though he does have limits. It's seemingly one of the few things that doesn't change in "It's A Miserable Life".
* {{Fingore}}: In "Woodshop", he accidentally slices his finger off [[TooDumbToLive after touching the saw]]. He picks his nose with the finger after it's reattached, [[EpicFail causing it to fall off again]].
* ForeheadOfDoom: His eyes and nose are scrunched down his face, which leaves a very prominent forehead that curves into his large pompadour hair.
* GutturalGrowler: Speaks in the gravellest, screechiest voice Mike Judge can muster.
* HatesBeingTouched: This may be a result of the molestation he mentions in their commentary on Music/{{Deadmau5}}'s "Ghosts and Stuff", though Beavis, being Beavis, is fairly nonchalant about the whole thing when he talks about it. Overall, though, he specifically dislikes being touched by men, but is quite okay with women touching him.
* HereWeGoAgain: At least two episodes end with Beavis doing the same stupid, dangerous thing that Butt-Head had done earlier in the story. In "Pipe of Doom", he climbs into the same construction pipe that Butt-head had just been rescued from and [[HelpImStuck gets trapped himself]]. In "Choke", he actually chokes on ''the same piece of chicken'' that Butt-head had previously half-eaten. Also see TooDumbToLive below.
* HiddenHeartOfGold: Downplayed, but he's definitely a ''lot'' nicer than Butt-Head.
* HotBlooded: More excitable and easily angered than Butt-Head.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Although he can be a prick similar to Butt-Head, he's never really been as malicious about it. [[note]]([[BerserkButton Unless he does something to piss him off...]])[[/note]] It's shown in the second Christmas special that most of Beavis negative traits are caused by being around Butt-Head, and that without him he would have been a somewhat dim, but nice guy.
* KavorkaMan: While he is usually a failure when it comes to attracting women, unlike Butt-Head, Beavis has shown to be able to hook up with some girls once in a while. Justified, as he is arguably better looking than Butt-Head and usually treats women with respect while greeting them.
* {{Keet}}: He is quite excitable and unpredictable, often shaking his hands like crazy or being a MotorMouth.
* KiddieKid: For a teenager, he's shown to be quite immature. In "Held Back", he enthusiastically joins the other kindergarteners in finger painting and coloring. And in "Babysitting", he enjoys himself by playing the toys that are meant for the little children, who he’s supposed to be babysitting.
* LargeHam: His Cornholio persona is even louder than he normally is and speaks in a bombastic way.
* LastNameBasis: [[spoiler: ''Beavis and Butt-Head Do the Universe'' confirms that Beavis is actually his surname.]]
* ObliviousToLove:
** In the episode "Weird Girl", he is completely clueless about Glennis' interest in him, interpreting it for her wanting to beat him up.
** He also has no idea that the young lady who interviews him and Butt-Head at the dating agency in "Vidiots" quite clearly has the hots for him despite her not being the least bit subtle about it.
* PerpetualSmiler: "Yeah, I've got a cool smile. *{{beat}}* See?"
* PetTheDog: Even though he often likes to torment Stewart along with Butt-Head, in "Choke", he willingly gives him nachos for money.
* {{Pyromaniac}}: "FIRE! FIRE! FIRE!" It was toned down after that incident with the boy who set his trailer on fire and his mom blamed it on the show (despite that the family didn't have cable TV in their house), but when the show was revived in 2011, they brought it back.
* RealMenDontCry: When the two are watching an expy of ''Series/TheBachelor'', Beavis accidentally eats a smelly onion slice, and he tears up because of it. Butt-Head sees him crying, and assumes that he was doing it because of the show. He then decides to mock Beavis throughout the episode with this trope, much to his anger. [[spoiler: He even does it to Beavis while they are old and at a nursing home until Butt-Head has a heart attack.]]
* SawStarWarsTwentySevenTimes: The book ''Huh Huh for Hollywood'' says that he saw ''Film/{{Backdraft}}'' twenty seven times.
* ScreamsLikeALittleGirl:
** His scream was pretty high back in the show's heyday. Not so much in the revival, though.
** In ''Do The Universe'', he lets out a ''very'' high-pitched scream that destroys everything in the gym after getting kicked in the groin by the "Fieldgoal 3000".
* SdrawkcabSpeech: A music video viewing in an episode once shows that he has this ability.
** Also, in the movie during his MushroomSamba, he says a sentence completely backwards. When played in reverse, he says, "You all should go to college and study hard".
* SignatureLaugh: "HEH HEH, HMMHM, HEHEH", does this very often to the point it's pretty much how he breathes.
* SonOfAWhore: Butt-Head constantly insinuates that Beavis's mother is a "slut". Beavis himself seems to confirm this when he tells Butt-Head "My mom's a slut, not a whore. She doesn't charge money".
* SplitPersonality: "The Great Cornholio", which emerges when Beavis has too much sugar, caffeine or drugs.
* SweetTooth: He enjoys eating candy. In fact, this is usually what brings out Cornholio.
* TalkativeLoon: His Cornholio persona mutters gibberish that generally combines repeating the last phrase that he heard spoken to him with needing "teepee for [his] bunghole".
* TeensAreShort: He appears to be a good foot shorter than the adult male characters, excluding his tall hairdo.
* TheyKilledKennyAgain: Beavis has died at least three times. He's been killed by the Crazy Farmer on two of the occasions, and in "The Good Deed", he and Butt-Head both die from excessively drinking DDT.
* TooDumbToLive: He's dumb enough to make Butt-Head look cunning and articulate by comparison, often putting himself in dangerous situations such as [[{{Fingore}} losing his finger]] from touching a powersaw and getting stuck in a copy machine from sitting on the glass.
* VocalDissonance: For a teenager, he has quite a raspy voice.
* VocalEvolution: Starting with the revival, his voice has gotten deeper. It's particularly noticeable when he is yelling, no longer sounding so much like a madman.
* YourSizeMayVary: Whether he is the same height as Butt-Head or slightly shorter than him varies in many shots. Yes, he is definitely shorter than him without his large puffy pompadour, but sometimes even that addition does not make him tall enough to reach Butt-Head.

[[folder:Butt-Head]]
[[quoteright:303:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/butt-head_3823.png]]

The series's other protagonist, Butt-Head is ''slightly'' more intelligent than Beavis (for whatever that's worth) and usually comes up with the duo's {{Zany Scheme}}s to meet girls or make money. He's also calmer and more emotionally stable than his partner, albeit (in some situations, even) more of a jerk as well.

Tropes associated with Butt-Head:

* AwLookTheyReallyDoLoveEachOther: While he and Beavis have their moments of spats, they are relatively best buddies through and through. When he's on the verge of death, [[IRegretNothing he remarks that a life spent doing nothing but bumming around with Beavis was "cool".]]
* BadBedroomBadLife: As seen in "Scientific Stuff", Butt-Head’s room is essentially great lumps of dirt and different kinds of objects and empty cans scattered around the floor with murky walls. Even the bed isn’t tidy. Luckily for him, Butt-Head never seems to sleep in there, anyhow. Would you want to be resting in that kind of environment? Although, knowing Butt-Head, he probably wouldn’t care about the mess if he decided to sleep in there, anyway.
* BoisterousWeakling: Butt-Head likes to threaten people a lot, but invariably folds towards even the slightest bit of resistance.
* BracesOfOrthodonticOverkill: A flashback in the movie shows him to have these. He currently has a regular set of braces in the present day.
* TheBully: He constantly hits and insults Beavis, and never shows an ounce of concern when Beavis is in a life-threatening predicament (being severely beaten is usually the case). He is also seen as the more aggressive of the two and more likely to insult and belittle those who fall short of their "cool" book.
* CannotTellAJoke: He's too stupid to come up with one that's fluent or doesn't involve innuendos.
* CasanovaWannabe:
** Unlike Beavis, Butt-Head has pretty much no chance of hooking up with women. He is even uglier than Beavis and tends to treat women chauvinistically. Any attempt to hook up with them usually blows up in his face.
** This even applies to real life when our heroes read fan mail in "Letters To Santa Butt-Head" and several of the female fans talk about wanting to be with Beavis. Beavis is obviously excited, while a jealous Butt-Head wonders why there are so many "stupid chicks" out there.
* CatchPhrase: While none are quite as iconic as Beavis' Cornholio routine, he tends to say "Whoa", "Cool", "Oh yeah", "Settle down, Beavis!", "Come to Butt-Head", and "Hey, baby" a lot.
* CommonalityConnection: When he meets Chelsea Clinton in the movie, he tried to connect with her by saying that both have braces. It doesn’t work.
* TheCynic: Unless it has something to do with TV, sex, destruction, or nachos, Butt-Head will just think it sucks.
* DeadpanSnarker: At times, usually if Beavis is being stupider than usual.
-->(while watching "Gin and Juice" by Music/SnoopDogg)
--> '''Beavis''': Hey, Butt-Head, do you know I'm from Compton?
--> '''Butt-Head''': Dammit, Beavis, shut up. You're not from Compton.
--> '''Beavis''': No, wait, Butt-Head, I'm serious. I was kickin' it on the streets. It was hard times. I used to drink Gin and Juice. It was cool.
--> '''Butt-Head''': Beavis... you're a white wussy from right here.
--> '''Beavis''': No way, Butt-Head, you don't know, you weren't around then. Yeah, me and Snoop used to go to the Compton swap meet together.
--> '''Butt-Head''': Beavis, you used to go to the flea market with your mom.
--> '''Beavis''': See, I wore this shirt cuz these are my colors.
--> '''Butt-Head''': Beavis...
--> '''Beavis''': [[PrettyFlyForAWhiteGuy Yep, I'm a straight G.]]
--> '''Butt-Head''': ...shut up.
--> '''Beavis''': Yep. Got out of a Compton swap meet with Snoop. Used to kick it with Dre.
--> '''Butt-Head''': Beavis, shut up. [[TheReasonYouSuckSpeech You've never been to Compton. you're never gonna go to Compton, you're gonna be here for the rest of your life, you're stupid, you don't have any money, and you're never gonna score]].
--> '''Beavis''': Um, oh yeah.
* DependingOnTheWriter: His relationship with Beavis. In some episodes, he doesn't seem to mind Beavis, while in others, he physically and verbally abuses him.
* DopeSlap: When Beavis is acting stupider than him or says something he doesn't like, Butt-Head usually responds by slapping him.
* DrivesLikeCrazy: Whenever he gets behind the wheel, he's a danger to the road and his passengers. He once actually made the unflappable Coach Buzzcut ''scream in terror'' as they hurtle into a truck.
* EveryoneCallsHimBarkeep: Even teachers and other professionals, indicating that it really is [[HisNameReallyIsBarkeep his name.]] There are {{fanon}} names, such as Buford and Benjamin, but the show makes it clear that Butt-Head is his real name.
* EveryoneHasStandards:
** Butt-Head would go out of his way to see a woman in the nude, but he has his limits when it come to a guy's body… he doesn’t want to see any part of a guy in the nude, especially Beavis. He often made it clear that he doesn’t want to see Beavis's privates.
** As dumb as he, he rightfully brings up how suspicious a grief counselor inviting Beavis to his apartment is. He seems pretty shocked as he realizes Beavis was most likely raped.
** In the 2022 revival, Butt-Head is disappointed in Beavis for liking Music/{{BTS}}, but catching him dancing on the couch by twerking his butt is enough to call him out on it, preferring him to have taken a dump on it… or do homework.
* FullNameBasis: It's not just his real name, it's his first and last names combined! One episode has another person asking Butt-Head his name. He replies that it's "Butt". When the other character asks what his family name is, he replies "Head".
* HiddenDepths:
** [[GeniusDitz He's very knowledgeable about a number of things you wouldn't expect]], most notably Myth/ClassicalMythology. Though when you think about it, it's hardly surprising he'd know about Sterculius, being that he's the Roman god of feces.
** Like Beavis, he can also come with some very insightful commentary on pop culture. This is especially prevalent in Season 8.
** He's smart enough to realize he's going to get beat up and frame Beavis for something he did.
* HisNameReallyIsBarkeep:
** His teachers and everyone else who knows him well all call him Butt-Head. In one cartoon, when another character asks him his first name, he says it's "Butt". When the other character asks his family name, he says it's "Head".
** In the episode "Spiritual Journey", Audrey calls him "Brodrick". However, [[https://twitter.com/LewMorton/status/1575683420813815808 this still isn't his real name]].
* {{Hypocrite}}: Constantly insults Beavis by calling him a "dumbass", despite being incredibly stupid himself.
* {{Irony}}: Enjoys constantly insulting Beavis by calling his mom a slut. All the while his own mom was heavily implied to be a slut herself in the movie ''WesternAnimation/BeavisAndButtHeadDoAmerica''.
* {{Jerkass}}: Unlike Beavis, who is a bit polite, Butt-Head has about no redeeming features whatsoever. It's even been stated and outright ''confirmed'' that the world would literally be a better place without him there to cause havoc. What stops him from being as bad as Todd is that he is [[InsufferableImbecile incredibly stupid]], therefore easier to laugh at.
* KarmaHoudini: Out of the duo, he's the one who tends to get away more with his vile actions; he treats Beavis like absolute crap, and, besides a few moments where he actually retaliates, never gets called out for it.
* KnowNothingKnowItAll: He has an answer for every question Beavis asks and talks with full confidence when he does so, but is still always dead wrong.
* LazyBum: He'd usually slouch around eating nachos while forcing Beavis to do all the work.
* TheLeader: The closest to one of the duo; Beavis normally just goes along with his ideas.
* MajorInjuryUnderreaction: He said it was cool when he ''got ran over by a school bus'' rather than realizing he almost got killed.
* MaliciousMisnaming: He often calls Principal [=McVicker=] "[=McDicker=]". Given his own jerkass tendencies however, it's not entirely undeserved.
* MeaningfulName: His first name is "Butt" and he's obsessed with defecation and genitals. His last name is "Head" and he's just as obsessed with sex. He's also a complete jerkass, which makes him a butt-head in another sense.
* TheMillstone: In the alternate world where he doesn't exist shown in "It's a Miserable Life", Butt-Head sees Burger World doing much better as well as Tom Anderson having a nice yard because he wasn't there to drive away the customers or ruin Tom's work.
* NeverMyFault: Whenever they both screw up something, he always blames it on Beavis, who, being the dumber of the two, apologizes, even though it wasn't completely his fault.
* NotSoStoic: He has his moments of showing extreme emotion, like when he gets kicked in the nads, and when the duo yelled things in the show's earlier seasons, where his yelling sounded exactly like Beavis'.
* PerpetualFrowner: He is almost never shown smiling, even while he is laughing.
* PetTheDog:
** There actually were occasions where Butt-Head told Beavis that he's "cool". Also, in the film ''Beavis and Butt-Head Do the Universe'', Butt-Head genuinely misses Beavis after they briefly parted ways after fighting with each other.
** While Butt-Head indeed usually doesn't care about anyone or feel remorse for his actions, "Take a Bow" shows him feeling bad about potentially killing Beavis and being happy that he recovered from the testicular injuries Butt-Head caused him.
* SignatureLaugh: "UH HUH-huh-huh... UH". Like Beavis, he does this so often that it's pretty much how he breathes.
* TheSociopath: He was actually diagnosed as such by the school psychiatrist, as revealed in their video commentary for Olivia Rodrigo's "Good 4 U", and she wasn't wrong, as he is consistently the most amoral and least caring of the duo.
--> '''Butt-Head''': That school psychiatrist said I was one of those. But it didn't matter, 'cause I don't care about her at all. Or anyone else, really. Uh huh huh. I don't care about others. Uh huh huh huh huh. Uh huh huh huh.
* TheStoic: His voice is monotone and his face is inexpressive, with only his eyes widening. Even his screams are just loud "Uhhh!"s. His reaction to almost everything is simply to describe it as "cool", regardless of what it is.
* StupidlyLongFillerSound: Butt-Head often responds to questions with a leading "Uhhh ..." as his little-used mind tries to catch up to his much-used mouth. These "uhhh"s are especially lengthy when Butt-Head is caught prevaricating, and he tries to formulate a blame-shift or cover story.
* ThirdPersonPerson:
-->'''Butt-Head:''' Come to Butt-Head.
* ToxicFriendInfluence: In the ChristmasEpisode, "It's a Miserable Life", Butt-Head is taken to an alternate world where he doesn't exist. One of the changes show that Beavis turned out to be a much better person without him. He's still an idiot, just much nicer and actually pleasant. Similarly, Stewart is shown to have much better self-esteem. Beavis is also more friendly towards Stewart when Butt-Head is not around.
* VocalEvolution:
** His voice gets a bit more nasally and high-pitched in the latter half of the original run. Also, in earlier episodes, he had a tendency to sound like Beavis, particularly when playing air guitar.
** In the revival, his voice is slightly deeper, and he is less prone to raising his voice (as much as he can anyway).
* WouldHurtAChild: During a visit to Mexico in their (yet) more sociopathic early episodes, the duo sees several kids around a pinata while one kid is playing with fireworks (something the two specifically wanted out of the trip). Once the pinata is broken and most of the kids are distracted by the candy, Butt-Head grabs the club and knocks the kid out cold in order to steal his fireworks.

[[folder:Stewart Stevenson]]
[[quoteright:256:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/stewart_stevenson_9498.jpeg]]
->'''Voiced in English by:''' Adam Welsh (1993-1997), Creator/ThomasMiddleditch (2011), Sam Johnson (2022, adult)
->'''Voiced in Latin American Spanish by:''' Creator/CarlosInigo
->'''Voiced in European Spanish by:''' Patricia Reija

A hapless nerd who hangs out with Beavis and Butt-Head--not because they like him, but because he'll let them get away with almost anything.

Tropes associated with Stewart:

* AllForNothing: In the alternate universe of the 2022 revival where Beavis and Butt-head never time traveled, an adult Stewart returns to Highland to become a kidney donor to Beavis, only for Beavis to insult him cruelly many times, show no appreciation for Stewart's effort, and ''destroy Stewart's transplanted kidney inside his body before the day is even over''.
* AlliterativeName: His last and first name begin with an "St" sound.
* ButtMonkey: He'd be TheChewToy if he appeared more often.
* ComedicUnderwearExposure: In the banned episode "Stewart's House" where Beavis and Butt-Head walk into his house to watch free cable. They then strip him down to his underwear, hang him on a coat hanger and shove random stuff like sand, rubbing alcohol, and even a cactus down his rear.
* TheConscience: He's usually the one to tell Beavis and Butt-Head that what they're doing could have horrible consequences. Unfortunately for him, they never listen.
* DemotedToExtra: In the 2022 revival, he plays a much smaller role and his only appearance by far is in the alternate universe where Beavis and Butt-head grew old naturally where he tries to donate his kidney to Beavis, only for it to be a wasted effort.
* EarnYourHappyEnding: In a reality where Beavis and Butt-Head never went through the wormhole, Stewart left Highland, found a decent job, and had triplets.
* ExtremeDoormat: Beavis and Butt-Head walk all over him. And in ''It's A Miserable Life'', it's shown he would still have his self-esteem and could actually be quite assertive, if not for Butt-Head.
* HorribleJudgeOfCharacter: Like Mr. Van Driessen (and extremely similar to the duo's own "relationship" with Todd), Stewart just doesn't grasp that Beavis and Butt-Head despise him, and never stops thinking of them as his best friends, despite all the abuse they put him through. Despite, that he has several friends who are more like him and he ''should'' be hanging out with, such as the dorky P.A.T. kids.
* NiceGuy: Stewart is one of the few characters on the show that's genuinely nice and pleasant.
* NiceMeanAndInBetween: Whenever around the duo, he's the idolizing NiceGuy to Butt-Head's JerkWithAHeartOfJerk and Beavis' JerkWithAHeartOfGold.
* ObliviousToHatred: He seems to believe Beavis and Butt-head are his best friends, despite how often they bully, insult, and get him into trouble. This is shown in the clipshow SeriesFauxnale where his flashback remembering the duo had them hanging out like old friends and talking like they came out of an episode of ''Series/LeaveItToBeaver.''
* OlderThanTheyLook: He is supposed to be roughly the same age as the duo, but looks more like a little kid.
* ReusedCharacterDesign: As an adult, he looks like a blonde haired [[WesternAnimation/KingOfTheHill Bill Dauterive]].
* SelfServingMemory: In his flashback in "Beavis And Butt-Head Are Dead", he remembers himself and the duo spending time together as the best of friends. Tellingly, the only other person without a real flashback from older episodes in this episode is Butt-Head, who misremembers himself scoring with a classmate.
* TakeThat: Wears a Winger shirt, and his wimpiness is compared to the main duo's Music/{{Metallica}} and Music/{{ACDC}} shirts.
* ThreeAmigos: He thinks he's in this with Beavis and Butt-Head. He even describes them as such in a diary entry in ''This Book Sucks''. Beavis and Butt-Head would beg to differ. He also describes them as such as an adult.
* VocalEvolution: His voice was deeper and more emotionless in his earliest appearances, until it became higher and whinier later on, and eventually deeper due to his voice actor going through puberty.
* WithFriendsLikeThese: Though Beavis and Butt-Head don't consider him a friend. Despite the fact that they get him in trouble, he still likes to hang out with them.

[[folder:Daria Morgendorffer]]
[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/daria_morgendorffer_5520.jpg]]
->'''Voiced in English by:''' Tracy Grandstaff
->'''Voiced in Latin American Spanish by:''' Creator/PatriciaAcevedo
->'''Voiced in Japanese by:''' Creator/TomokoKawakami (''Beavis and Butt-head in Virtual Stupidity'')

Daria is one of Beavis and Butt-Head's classmates. Intelligent but disaffected, she's amused by the duo's antics, and often makes sarcastic remarks that go right over their heads.

--> For information about her portrayal on ''WesternAnimation/{{Daria}}'', see that show's [[Characters/{{Daria}} character sheet]]
----
Tropes associated with Daria:

* ActuallyPrettyFunny: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jcZ4gGlQP0c This video]] shows her cracking up when Butt-Head said "I rest on your face" in court.
* AdaptationRelationshipOverhaul: In the Marvel tie-in comics, Beavis and Butt-head are somewhat nastier to her than they were in the show, often making rude remarks about her appearance and notably being able to get under her skin and make her visibly angry more. And the feeling was mutual on her part, with Daria shutting Stewart up forcefully and making sure Beavis and Butt-head got left behind on an Amish farm once. Though there were also instances where Daria was somewhat closer to them than in the show, with Beavis and Butt-head going to her home during special events like Halloween and Christmas, with her even trying to explain to them the meaning of Christmas.[[note]]During those times the duo went to her home, her parents and sister Quinn were not present as by the comic book publication date, Daria's family hadn't been officially created yet.[[/note]]
* AscendedExtra: She got a slightly larger role in the comic series, and then [[WesternAnimation/{{Daria}} got her own spin-off]].
* BrainyBrunette: She's a wise-cracking TeenGenius with brown hair.
* BreakoutCharacter: Got her own show after ''Beavis and Butt-Head'' got cancelled.
* TheBusCameBack: [[spoiler:Despite being put on a bus in the revival, an alternate universe alien version of Daria appears in "Abduction."]]
* TheCameo: She appeared in ''Beavis and Butt-Head Do America'' and ''Beavis and Butt-Head Do the Universe''. In ''Do America'', the ATF storm into the Highland High School, she and the other students run and they were eventually got cavity search. In ''Do the Universe'', she was at Beavis and Butt-Head's trial. She was very upset and angry that Beavis and Butt-Head got off scot free. An alternate-universe version of her appears in "Abduction" as "Smart Daria", one of the Supreme Leaders of Smart Beavis and Butt-head's reality.
* CharacterizationMarchesOn: Especially evident in the Marvel tie-in comics. She starts out as a more generic know-it-all but gains the wry, unflappable, sarcastic streak we all know and love later on.
* DeadpanSnarker: Mostly towards Beavis and Butt-Head.
* InSeriesNickname: Beavis and Butt-Head are really fond of calling her "Diarrhea".
* LimitedWardrobe: Like the rest of the characters, though in this series, she had three regular outfits (Her third one, which included her white shirt, black jacket, was the one she was shown in the most)
* OnlySaneWoman: Within her classmates, and possibly a good amount of the community.
* OutOfCharacterMoment: Breaks out into hysterics at the word "masturbation" in "No Laughing" with the other students. Though this could've been her laughing at the duo's predicament of being prohibited from laughing; or due to the animation direction being "the students laugh", and the animators making her laugh along with the rest of the class. Also, [[NotSoAboveItAll people in their middle to early high school phases simply tend to crack up more at sexual humor]]. At this stage of her life, it's very likely [[EarlyInstallmentWeirdness she hadn't fully matured into the Daria everybody recognized]].
* PutOnABus: It is mentioned in the 2011 revival that she moved away, as per the first episode of her own series (Beavis thought she had committed suicide).
* TeenGenius: As an honors student at Highland High.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Cassandra]]
[[quoteright:290:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/cassandra_1731.gif]]

Another of B&B's classmates, Cassandra is a hippie-ish aspiring artist of possible Asian descent. She doesn't get much screen time, but the series hints that she has some disturbing HiddenDepths.
----
Tropes associated with Cassandra:

* AmbiguouslyBi: A big fan of notoriously lesbian singer K.D. Lang, though she also expresses a fondness for older men in other episodes. It's unclear if she herself really has lesbian tendencies or she simply loves K.D. Lang's music and is open minded enough that she doesn't care about the singer's sexuality.
* GranolaGirl: Like Van Driessen, she's a nature-loving hippie.
* HotForTeacher: Her story about how a teenage girl and her English teacher drown together implies she might be attracted to Mr. Van Driessen
* NiceGirl: She's one of the few students in Highland High who isn't a {{Jerkass}} or close enough aside from Stewart. She seems to have a high tolerance for Beavis and Butt-Head's stupidity, and she even gave them advice in ''Animation Sucks.''
* OedipusComplex: Talks about her own father in a creepily suggestive manner in "Animation Sucks".
[[/folder]]

!Alternate Beavises and Butt-Heads
[[folder:Smart Beavis and Smart Butt-Head]]
Two alternate versions of Beavis and Butt-Head, and the smartest versions of the duo across the cosmos. But they still aren't very bright.
* AlternateSelf: The smartest versions of Beavis and Butt-Head, relatively speaking. They're highly intelligent on a cosmic scale but still somewhat lacking in common sense and competency similar to their main counterparts.
* AlternateUniverseReedRichardsIsAwesome: They hail from a highly advanced universe that has technology "you could only dream of" including the ability to access porn in any scenario you could imagine.
* BiggerIsBetterInBed: Smart Beavis claims to have a "gigantic schlong" and hopes this isn't a deal-breaker with Serena.
* BizarreAlienBiology: Implied in "Abduction." Smart Beavis needs to be reminded how many anuses a human has, and their probing device has a dial that goes up to two.
* ADayInTheLimelight: Get their own episode and intro with "Abduction."
* DidntThinkThisThrough: The two spend the entire movie trying to get Beavis and Butt-Head to travel through the portal, to the point of moving it several times. Only for the pair to realize they didn't even need Beavis and Butt-Head themselves with Smart Butt-Head remarking they could've thrown a brick in there.
* EstablishingCharacterMoment: When we are first introduced to them, they try to explain the multiverse by asking if they've seen "that cartoon Spider-Man movie" despite the fact the duo have been in 2022 for less than five minutes.
* {{Expy}}: To Uatu, the Watcher. They even introduce the episode "Home Aide", much like the Watcher from What If...
* GeniusDitz: They might be intelligent, but they're still versions of Beavis and Butt-Head at the end of the day, with the sheer lack of common sense that comes with it.
* GoodCounterpart: They're not only smarter than Beavis and Butt-Head, they're honestly much nicer too. Their friendship is based on mutual respect, they have more polite personalities in general, even with the slight PunyEarthlings attitude, and their concerns extend to trillions of lives and not just themselves as they spend the entirety of ''Do the Universe'' trying to save multiple universes from destruction.
* GreekChorus: They play this role in the 2022 revival, speaking directly to the audience as they introduce the latest exploit of Old Beavis and Butt-Head, whom they regard as their most fascinating incarnations across the multiverse.
* HeterosexualLifePartners: Unlike their counterparts, they're always shown being nice and respectful to one another, showing that they actually ''are'' best friends and don't just hang around with one another because no one else will.
* InsufferableGenius: Downplayed. They're normally pretty polite, but they can't resist rubbing in how vastly superior their intellect is over all the foolish Earthlings.
* JerkassBall: Under pain of death, they try to abduct Tom Anderson in order to anally probe him as part of a scientific experiment. To their credit, are polite to him, and intend to wipe his mind after the fact.
* LoveConfession: Smart Beavis interrupts Beavis's to confesses to Serena that he has grown to love her through observing her through the portal, and implores her to travel the cosmos with him. And also score. And it pays off! Unfortunately, Serena left immediately afterwards and ghosts him.
* MadeOfIron: They manage to survive getting thrown out of a car and getting run over several times.
* MyBrainIsBig: Their craniums are even larger than regular Beavis and Butt-Head's which emphasizes their superior intelligence and makes them look more alien.
* NormalFishInATinyPond: When they appear in Beavis and Butt-head's universe, they're intelligent on a cosmic scale compared to the duo and everyone else. But by the standards of their own universe, they're not quite the brightest bulbs and have several moments that show they're not truly as smart as they seem, whether it's not being able to pilot their ship properly or being fooled into purchasing beachfront property on the moon by a scammer called "Melody 1998".
** Outright shown in "Abduction" where they're such losers, that the Supreme Leaders want them killed because they spent two whole years observing Old Beavis and Butt-Head. and running up an expense account, rather than performing experiments or viewing other universes.
* ThePeepingTom: Smart Butt-Head was able to watch Serena and Smart Beavis hook up by hiding in a suitcase at the foot of the bed. He gets rewarded by Empress Beavis for this with a medal saying "I WATCHED".
* ScrewDestiny: Smart Beavis admitting his feelings for Serena allows him to be the first to score.
* SpockSpeak: Rarely uses contractions, and instead of laughing or giggling, their VerbalTic is to comment on the situation at hand with words, like "quite homorous" or "very droll".
* TheirFirstTime: Though it happens off-screen, Smart Beavis becomes the first version of Beavis to ever score. Even if Serena ghosted him, he is still awarded a medal and a celebration is held in his honor.
* ThinkingUpPortals: The two have the ability to travel the multiverse this way.
* TheWatcher: They were entrusted by the Supreme Leaders to observe other universes. Smart Beavis fell in love with Serena by observing her through the portals.
** Their primary form of entertainment is to observe different versions of themselves across the multiverse, with the version of Beavis and Butt-Head who grew to middle age being their favorite. If an existential threat looms, however, they're willing to step in and take more direct action in things, as was the case in ''Do the Universe''.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Old Beavis]]
A version of Beavis that did not go through the black hole and aged normally from the 90s to the present day.

* AbsurdlyDedicatedWorker:
** As Old Butt-Head thinks that being unemployed is his job, Old Beavis is usually the breadwinner between the two. Usually, he donates sperm "kind of everywhere" and blood for extra money, although he has donated so much that it's now considered too watery.
** In "Home Aide" because he's maxed out his unemployment benefits, he gets the titular job. Compared to his younger self, he actually does what to do the job he's told to, but Old Butt-Head takes advantage of it to treat him like a servant.
* TheAlcoholic: Now that he's legally old enough, his preferred drink is beer, and his favorite brand is Saint Ides.
* CharacterTics: He primarily wears glasses in present day, although he will usually adjust them, often whenever he needs to confirm or read something.
* FormerlyFit: {{Downplayed|Trope}}. While he isn't as fat as Old Butt-Head, he still has a pot belly and hasn't aged well himself.
* HearingVoices: He still experiences this in present day, telling Old Butt-Head that he hears voices through the walls that tell him to "cleanse the city". Old Butt-Head confirms that you can indeed hear voices through the walls, but the ones Beavis hears are in his mind.
* {{Pyromaniac}}: Hasn't changed much in this regard, as he still loves fire, using his five minute portion to rant to the city council about how he believes everything should be burned. Old Butt-Head even yields his time to the council to continue to hear his ramblings.
* SmokingIsNotCool: Unlike Old Butt-Head, Old Beavis uses a vape rather than smoke tobacco. Of course, vaping is by no means healthy and just makes him almost as much of a mess healthwise as Old Butt-Head.
* ToothyIssue: His teeth are in awful shape. Several are missing and others are grotesquely chipped.
* YoungerThanTheyLook: He's in his forties, but he looks like he's in his sixties because of his unhealthy lifestyle. He actually looks older than Old Butt-Head.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Old Butt-Head]]
A version of Butt-Head that did not go through the black hole and aged normally from the 90s to the present day.

* BigGuyLittleGuy: He towers over Old Beavis who doesn't seem to have grown at all since his teen years.
* DisproportionateRetribution: He cripples Old Beavis with his mobility scooter simply because the latter wanted to buy Count Chocula instead of beer at the supermarket.
* DoesNotLikeSpam: {{Implied|Trope}} with Count Chocula; he attacks Old Beavis when the latter suggests buying it at the supermarket.
-->'''Old Butt-Head:''' We need beer, not, like, health food.
* EarlyInstallmentCharacterDesignDifference: During "Home Aide" and his appearance in ''Do The Universe'', he is shown to be so morbidly obese as to require a cane and a motor scooter, something that isn't necessary in his subsequent appearances as he's visibly slimmer, implying his other appearances may taken place before "Home Aide". He was also almost completely bald at the top, while later appearances have him with more hair. Despite this, he still appeared with his "healthier" look in the video segments for "Home Aide" and the show title card.
* FatBastard: He's put on a lot of weight over the years, and he's as much of a {{Jerkass}} as he's always been. He's even fatter in the "Home Aide" episode, getting to the point where he needs to use a scooter and cane to get around, and he's an even bigger jerk then.
* FatIdiot: He's fatter and older, but certainly no wiser.
* FatSlob: He has stacks and stacks of pizza boxes that he refuses to dispose of due to planning some business venture with them that he refuses to elaborate on. In fact, he makes a point that most of the garbage in the apartment remains right where it is.
* FormerlyFit: Saying Butt-Head was ever "fit" can be stretching it, but as a teenager, he was noticeably slimmer and in decent shape. As the years went on, he became morbidly obese to the point of needing a cane and a mobility scooter to get around (at least in ''Do the Universe'' and "Home Aide"), likely as a result of his genes worsening with age combined with an unhealthy lifestyle.
* TheMillstone: Old Butt-Head is pretty much dragging Old Beavis down with him. He shoots down any attempt on the latter's part to seek gainful employment that could make them real money, and when Old Beavis actually gets a job taking care of Old Butt-Head, Butt-Head treats him like a slave, injures him, and renders him incapable of actually doing his new job.
* ThePigPen: Much like his old teenage self, he never showers or bathes, save for when Old Beavis gives him a bath. His apartment is also extremely messy.
* SmokingIsNotCool: He's a chainsmoker, almost always seen with a cigarette in his hand at home. This has clearly taken its toll on his lungs since his laugh is interrupted by him coughing seconds into his first appearence and this habit has obviously only contributed to the terrible shape he's in.
* TheyCallMeMisterTibbs: He forces Old Beavis to call him "Mr. Butt-Head" in "Home Aide" lest he gets him fired.
* TookALevelInKindness: He's significantly more pleasant to Old Beavis in Season 10. In "Pardon Our Dust", he cedes his time for addressing the the city council to Old Beavis so he can continue ranting about fire and and almost compliments him on how much he loves fire. In "Married", he allows Old Beavis to share his seat on the ride home at the end and doesn't seem to mind when he realizes they're going to stay married. At worst, he just says they'll pretend it didn't happen so they can stay available for chicks.
* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Beer and pizza, given that's what he spends most of his money on.
* TrashOfTheTitans: Like his old teenage self, he has his apartment in rambles, with empty pizza boxes, soda cups, dirty laundry, and other junk.
* YoungerThanTheyLook: He's in his forties, but he looks like he's in his sixties because of his unhealthy lifestyle. This is especially prevalent in his earlier appearances, where he is actually practically bald at the top.

[[folder:Empress Beavis and Emperor Butt-Head]]
Versions of Beavis and Butt-Head who run the Citadel of Beavis and Butt-Head.

* AttractiveBentGender: Averted with Empress Beavis, who is an obese version of Beavis in drag.
* NoHistoricalFiguresWereHarmed: Designed to resemble Queen Victoria and Prince Albert.
* SexlessMarriage: Implied, as Smart Beavis is honored as the first among them to score.
* VocalDissonance: Empress Beavis' voice is just prime Beavis' voice pitch shifted.

!Movie Exclusive Characters

[[folder:Old Woman on Plane and Bus]]
->'''Voiced in English by:''' Creator/ClorisLeachman
An old woman who befriends Beavis and Butt-Head during their journey across America.

* AccidentalMisnaming: Calls the boys Travis and Bob-Head.
* CoolOldLady: Is polite to the boys and is taking a bus trip across America after losing in Vegas.
* DistaffCounterpart: Can be considered this to Tom Anderson, as her advanced age and hearing loss causes her to view the boys as innocent and well mannered. Unlike Anderson, the boys, for the most part, treat her with respect.
* NiceJobBreakingItHero: She unleashes Cornholio twice in the movie in an effort to help Beavis. The first time, she gives Beavis caffeine pills after he says he's tired. The second time, she tries to give Beavis Xanax after he gets beat up by the bus driver, but neither can read the label.
* NoNameGiven: Her name is never said in the movie itself. According to the screenplay, it's Martha.
* OneDialogueTwoConversations: On the plane ride to Las Vegas, her and the boys have this.
* OddFriendship: Develops one with the boys, especially Beavis.
* SmallRoleBigImpact: Despite losing track of Beavis and Butt-Head after the bus ride to the White House, her trying to help Beavis relax by giving him caffeine pills (thinking they're Xanax) unwittingly causes her to unleash Cornholio, which leads to the climax of the movie.
* SpeechImpediment: She tends to slur her words. To achieve this, Cloris Leachman would suck on hard candies or eat a sandwich and let it stick to the roof of her mouth.

[[folder:Dallas Grimes]]
->'''Voiced in English by:''' Creator/DemiMoore
An attractive arms smuggler who Beavis and Butt-Head were hired "to do".
----
* BigBadDuumvirate: With her ex-husband Muddy. Muddy pushes the dimwitted duo into their adventure and provides an immediate threat while Dallas kickstarted the main conflict.
* MacGuffinDeliveryService: Attempts this by sewing the unit into Beavis's pants and telling the duo to take the bus to Washington, while she follows in her car. However, the pair get massively sidetracked.
* MsFanservice: She teases the dimwitted duo with a false promise of sex, then honeytraps Muddy with actual sex.
* OutlawCouple: With her ex Muddy. Subverted in that they're already separated and she only seduced him to get his guard down and sell him out.

[[folder:Muddy Grimes]]
->'''Voiced in English by:''' Creator/BruceWillis
The ex-husband and former accomplice of Dallas. He hires Beavis and Butthead to "do" her.

* TheAlcoholic: He was drunk when meeting Beavis and Butthead, causing him to mistake the two for his hired hitmen.
* BigBadDuumvirate: With his ex-wife Dallas. Muddy pushes the dimwitted duo into their adventure and provides an immediate threat while Dallas kickstarted the main conflict.
* OutlawCouple: With his ex Dallas. Subverted in that they're already separated and she only seduced him to get his guard down and sell him out.

[[folder:Agent Flemming]]
->'''Voiced in English by:''' Robert Stack
An agent of the ATF who leads a national manhunt for the X-5 unit.

* BlackComedyRape: As a RunningGag, he regularly orders cavity searches on people Beavis and Butt-Head encounter, including all the old people on the bus, the Andersons, Van Dreissen and even Butt-Head himself.
* TheComicallySerious: His harsh nature and authoritative voice do little to make him seem imposing, as his obsessive habits reveal him to be a bit of an oddball.
%% * InkSuitActor:
* WellIntentionedExtremist: While he goes a little overboard, he's still trying to prevent the release of the virus in the X-5.

[[folder:Agent Bork]]
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Serena Ryan]]
->'''Voiced in English by:''' Andrea Savage
Captain of the Endeavor, and later Governor of Texas.
----
* AmbiguousSituation: Did she really follow Smart Beavis and Smart Butt-Head because of Smart Beavis's LoveConfession, or did she leave to avoid facing up to her mistakes? The fact that she took off after she and Smart Beavis scored and has ghosted him ever since suggests the latter.
* ContrastingSequelAntagonist: Serena Ryan fills a very similar niche to Dallas Grimes from the first movie, particularly with the boys' desire to "score" with Serena driving the plot of the movie, much like with their attraction to Dallas but ends up being a very different kind of antagonist. Dress-wise, Dallas tends to wear more skimpy clothing while Serena dresses more modestly by comparison. While Dallas was an open criminal and terrorist, Serena managed to lead a more legit political career and whatever corrupt, criminal things she did were done in secrecy, without exposure. Dallas was also openly hostile to Beavis and Butt-head to begin with and despite acting seductive to get what she wanted out of them, had no intention of ever "scoring" with them and notably never undergoes a HeelFaceTurn. Serena, on the other hand, is actually genuinely friendly with the boys to begin with and despite growing more hostile to them throughout the movie, eventually gives up on that hostility, has her HeelRealization, and consents to their desires, albeit with some small reluctance.
* CorruptPolitician: Implies she did many underhanded methods to become governor.
* HeelRealization: Has one when she realizes Beavis and Butt-Head never wanted to kill her, they wanted to sleep wit her.
* InkSuitActor: Very much resembles Andrea Savage.
* KarmaHoudini: [[spoiler:Granted, she does have a HeelRealization when she realizes that the duo were just trying to score with her instead of killing her, but Serena also admitted to committing several crimes in her political career, including murder, and hooks up with Smart Beavis instead of facing legal consequences (while Hartson is sucked into the portal back to TheNineties).]]
* SanitySlippage: Being trapped in space on the brink of death for three weeks, which included having to eat one of her fellow astronauts to survive, didn't do her sanity any favors.
* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: After she and Smart Beavis scored, she immediately left and doesn't return phone calls or texts.
* SexForServices: Once she realizes the duo just wanted to score with her, she agrees to sleep with them to buy their silence. She instead, however, sleeps with Smart Beavis as a means of escaping with him to avoid facing any responsiblity for her crimes.
* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: What happened to her after she left Smart Beavis isn't said. She's presumably knocking around the multiverse somewhere (or some''when'').

Our two, er, "heroes", who spends their lives unwillingly going to school, working at [[BurgerFool Burger World]], watching TV, trying to "score" with "chicks", and causing trouble.

Tropes associated with both Beavis and Butt-head:

* AccidentalHero: Most of the time, they unintentionally bring good fortune either by touching random things that just so happen to bring good luck or by [[SpringtimeForHitler downright failing]] to ''inflict bad fortune upon others for amusement''. "A Very Special Episode", "Spill", and ''[[WesternAnimation/BeavisAndButtheadDoAmerica Do America]]'' are the epitomes of this trope.
* AerithAndBob: Most of the characters on the show have normal names, but Butt-Head wasn't lucky enough to have considerate parents who named him well.
* AmbiguouslyBi: Despite the both of them being desperate to "score" with "chicks" and seemingly being grossed out by the idea of seeing a guy naked, their idolizing to the point of heavily implied crushes on Todd tell a different story. Not to mention the fact that Beavis pondered wherever or not it was normal to develop erections over boys on a bus. When the two are hung upside down from a marquee, Butt-Head makes comments about Beavis’s rear end and changes the subject when Beavis accuses him of having an interest in it.
* AntiRoleModel: They're good examples of how not to behave. They have been the subject of controversy by parents out-of-universe for all the risky and illegal behavior they've engaged in, from skipping school to [[BadPeopleAbuseAnimals putting dogs in the washing machine]] on whims.
* BastardBastard: Their fathers knocked their mothers up and then just took off, and the boys have since grown up to become a pair of unpleasant and destructive delinquents.
* BigEater: Both of them can actually pig out whenever they want to. In one of the 2011 revival episodes, they tried to gain weight so they can get famous like Morgan Spurlock of ''Film/SuperSizeMe''. Of course, being [[TheDitz how the two are]], they gained weight without knowing the documentary's actual purpose.
-->'''Butt-Head:''' We ate a lot of Burger World food, and now we're fat.
* BookDumb: They are illiterate slackers who couldn't care less about academics. However, despite being idiots in most situations, they can be surprisingly sharp when making comments about TV shows and music videos.
* CasanovaWannabe: HilarityEnsues whenever Beavis and Butt-Head try to get laid, as most of the women they intend on boning are far from their age range and would be labeled {{ephebophile}}s if they did consent. But even then, the girls around their age they ''do'' take a liking to instantaneously reject them due to their stupidity and assholish behavior.
* ChaoticStupid: All they care about is food, girls, heavy metal, and whatever captures their interest or seems "cool" at the moment, most notably, any sort of carnage, to which effect they were too amused by the wreckage of an airplane crash to help the victims. They're too lazy and stupid to realize or care about anything else, like work or their education. Sometimes their actions may cause harm to someone unintentionally.
* CharacterizationMarchesOn: Or what passes for it. They started out as a couple of complete (and in Beavis's case, pyromaniacal) sociopaths who love breaking stuff, damaging property, etc. with no concern for the consequences to anyone else. As the series progressed, this got toned down to them just being a couple of ChaoticStupid idiots who were simply too moronic to realize the consequences of their actions... on top of most usually not caring anyway. The revival brought back some of the sociopathy, though.
* ChildhoodFriends: Flashbacks show that they have always been the same and hung out since they were kids.
* {{Delinquents}}: They occasionally skip school for weeks at a time and are pretty much in a perpetual state of loitering. They also often dabble in petty crime, though generally unintentionally.
* {{Determinator}}: They don't give up on their quests easily... even if it means almost certain death. They just keep going.
* TheDitz: Beavis and Butt-Head are two BookDumb idiots who venture into TooDumbToLive territory with their violent behavior (like Beavis getting his finger sliced off by a buzzsaw in one episode) and reserve most of their brain functioning occupancy for sex jokes. Butt-head is slightly smarter than Beavis, but "slightly" is the keyword here.
* TheDividual: {{Downplayed|Trope}}. They're not ''completely'' identical, but they are extremely similar and basically inseparable. Beavis tends to be more hyper, while Butt-Head tends to be more of an instigating planner, but generally, they're both stupid jerkish types, which makes the difference mostly one of degrees. Creator/RogerEbert referred to them pretty accurately as "one personality, split into two so that they will have somebody to talk to."
* EveryoneHasStandards: As perverted as these two are, even they found graphic footage of childbirth revolting.
* FailureIsTheOnlyOption: Their [[QuestForSex attempts to "score"]] will always end in vain due to their stupidity and obnoxiousness.
* FatAndSkinny: Downplayed. While the two are both skinny, Butt-Head looks slightly stockier and more hunchbacked compared to Beavis. Played straight in some episodes of the second revival, as in his adulthood, Old Butt-Head is ''much'' fatter than Old Beavis.
* FreeRangeChildren: They live in a house without parents or guardians. They also hate school and their jobs, but for some reason, they continue going to both. They sometimes mention their mothers, but they are never seen. It's likely their mothers are almost never around, as seen by how their home has electricity, water, and phone service. It's easy to assume their mothers would be the ones to handle the bills, as the boys can't even handle schoolwork and rarely have any money.
* GeniusDitz: They're incredibly stupid most of the time, but when they're commenting on music videos (and {{Reality Show}}s in the 2011 episodes) they can be surprisingly witty and clever with their comments. They are both also knowledgeable in various sexual slang terms, such as "schlong", "nads", and "score".
* {{Gonk}}: A rare main character example; they have exaggerated, ugly features and look nothing like any other character on the show. In ''Do the Universe'', the two are thought to be aliens by people looking at a sketch of them.
* GroinAttack: While Butt-head has rarely thrown one out, Beavis, in turn for being slapped a lot, retaliated to Butt-head and others with a kick in the nads, on numerous occasions.
* HatedByAll: Their constant antics and trouble-making have earned them the ire of just about everyone in Highland. Best shown in "It's a Miserable Life", where the supporting cast gets together to pray to God to make the duo go away, with Principal [=McVicker=] [[PrayerOfMalice outright praying for their deaths]], and in "Beavis and Butt-Head Are Dead", where they [[FakingTheDead call in "dead"]] to get out of school; the reactions range from indifference to joy.
* HehHehYouSaidX: Almost every time they hear anything that can possibly be construed as a sexual innuendo, they laugh at it.
* HeterosexualLifePartners: They are inseparable companions, if only because about nobody else wants to hang out with them, with the exception of Stewart, who they can't stand and actively try to avoid. However, the "heterosexual" part isn’t always very steady. (See the Ho Yay page for more).
* HormoneAddledTeenager: Both of them take a liking to scantily clad women and want to get in bed with them. Not to mention they crack at least one sex joke per episode.
* HorribleJudgeOfCharacter: Even when they get their asses kicked by Todd, they still think he's cool and aspire to join his gang. In fact, every single hoodlum, criminal, and {{Jerkass}} they meet is "cool" by their standards. Then again, when you consider their priorities and interests, it's not that surprising.
* TheHyena: Their constant laughter is one of their defining traits.
* IdiotHoudini: Both of them have gotten away with a lot of things that they shouldn't have, even crashing a plane in the Middle East.
* InnocentlyInsensitive: These two aren't exactly innocents, but they do sometimes fail to realize when their language towards people is considered insulting as opposed to a bunch of deliberate shots they take at stuff.
* InsufferableImbecile: They infamously defined this trope for the '90s with the eponymous slacker metalhead duo, who cared for little except for music videos and chicks. Beavis is the somewhat nicer but also less smart and assertive of the duo, albeit not quite enough to avoid this trope.
* IronButtMonkey: They've never had any permanent side effects from their innumerable AmusingInjuries. The Movie has them get out of a high speed moving car, skip across a high way, with Beavis being incredibly bruised up and Butthead smashing into Anderson's car, and the next scene they are completely fine. Injuries stick more likely if they're part of the episode plot.
* JerkWithAHeartOfJerk: Both, more so Butt-Head, are prone to verbally attacking that which they do not find cool (at least if it bothers them) or someone who does something they (often through misunderstanding) find unwise. They never really help anything if it doesn't benefit their selfish needs. In one of the rare moments that they actually do work or help, they ended up making things worse. And the rarer times they actually did wind up doing some good, more often than not, it's a [[SpringtimeForHitler misfire]] of them ''trying to make things worse for amusement''.
* KarmicButtMonkey: A lot of bad things can happen to them throughout the series and there's no doubt in anyone's mind that any beating or humiliation they receive is something they've fully brought upon themselves.
* LackOfEmpathy: They generally couldn't care less when someone is in a bad predicament. In "Breakdown", they are completely apathetic when [=McVicker=] becomes immobilized as a result of their antics and even ''cheer'' at the idea of [=McVicker=] [[ElectroconvulsiveTherapyIsTorture going through electroshock therapy]]. Of course, they don't even know what "empathy" means, with Butt-Head thinking it might have something to do with "[[UnusualEuphemism ball-handling]]".
* LaughablyEvil: Played with to "Laughably Stupid". Neither of the two are people many would want to keep around if they exist in real life, but it's just so hard not to laugh at their antics and their stupidity.
* LeanAndMean: They're both quite slim and have a complete lack of manners to boot.
* LethallyStupid: Their extreme lack of intelligence has caused a lot of destruction.
* LikesOlderWomen: Most of the females they hit on are in their 20s or 30s -- sometimes older. Of course, they're too stupid to realize they're already far too out of their league.
* LoserProtagonist: They are moronic, perverted, obnoxious losers whose goals for sex and fortune will always end in vain due to their own stupidity.
* LovableSexManiac: Beavis and Butt-Head make us laugh with their attempts to lose their virginities, though they can never score.
* MadeOfIron: Seriously, how are they still alive after everything they've been put through? Because, as it says in the content warning, "Beavis and Butt-Head are not role models. They're not even human; they're cartoons. Some of the things they do would cause a person to get hurt, expelled, arrested, and possibly deported. To put it another way: Don't try this at home."
* {{Manchild}}: In the 2022 revival series, Old Beavis and Old Butt-Head haven't matured one bit since they were teenagers in the '90s.
* MetalHead: As shown in the {{Music/Metallica}} and Music/{{ACDC}} shirts they always wear.
* MinorLivingAlone: They definitely don't live with their parents, and no other adult authority figure (outside of the Highland High staff) is ever seen or mentioned. The show never explains how this happened, and no one at their school seems aware of it. Though it's hinted they live with their mothers (and, as mentioned above, it's likely they handle the house bills), they're just never around. From their talk about them and the movie, it's heavily hinted that they're actually prostitutes or call girls.
* MistakenForGay: Old Beavis and Butthead in "Married" are assumed to be partners due to spending their whole lives with each other. Being the guys they are, they don't pick up on this and just assume any women who show them support are actually making passes at them.
* MondegreenGag: Because of their low IQ, they constantly mishear some words as something else -- often as something sexual.
* NeverGetsFat: [[ZigZaggingTrope Zig-zagged]]. They are somehow very slim in spite of their diet consisting of nothing but junk food such as nachos, cheeseburgers, and pizza. It is implied most of the calories are burnt from walking around town a lot. The only times they become out-of-shape are in "Supersize Me" and as middle-aged men.
* NeverLearnedToRead: They are generally illiterate, often misreading signs/labels as something else or finding them too difficult to understand. In "School Test", they take several hours to ''write down their own names''; Beavis [[EpicFail couldn't even do it correctly]], writing his as "Beafis".
* NoFullNameGiven: Unlike most of the other characters, their full names are never revealed. All we know is Beavis is his surname
* NominalHero: Whenever they end up doing something heroic, it's usually [[AccidentalHero completely unintentional]] on their part in their quest to do something they find cool.
* NonStandardCharacterDesign: Both of them have far more cartoonishly exaggerated appearances compared to the more realistic designs of just about everyone else in the show.
* NotAllowedToGrowUp:
** Invoked in ''Do The Universe'', where they get ''sucked into a wormhole'' from 1998 to 2022, not aging a bit. Their smart versions show them what they would be like if the black hole incident never happened, where they are filthy, dumb middle-aged men.
** Season 8 shows them watching early 2010s media such as ''Series/JerseyShore'', ''Film/{{Twilight}}'', etc, without having aged a bit.
* ObliviouslyEvil: For the most part, they're just plain clueless to the destruction they cause.
* ObliviousToHatred: They want to be friends with Todd, despite how often he bullies, insults, beats them up, and gets them into trouble. They don't mind being assaulted by him, and they think he only does it because he is "cool".
* OneDialogueTwoConversations: Virtually every conversation they have with anyone other than each other amounts to this. They have absolutely no interest in what others have to say to them, nor do they have the attention spans needed to process it. In most cases, they'll either ignore what the other person is saying [[HehHehYouSaidX outside of any words or phrases that could be interpreted as innuendo]] or completely misconstrue what is being said to be relevant to whatever their own current goal is (which is usually [[QuestForSex scoring]]).
* PatheticallyWeak: The two of them are so weak that they can't lift an empty barbell. While barbells on their own can be slightly heavier than they look, they're usually not ''that'' heavy.
* ThePigPen: They care nothing about their personal hygiene. This is actually part of the plot of the episode "Tainted Meat", where Beavis' privates are itching like crazy, and he can't stop scratching it even at Burger World, where he doesn't even bother to wash his hands before putting patties on the grill. Everyone who eats at Burger World as a result gets food poisoning, with health experts outright stating that they have ''never'' seen such an aggressive bacteria.
* PoliticallyIncorrectHero: "Politically Incorrect ''Protagonists''" would be more accurate in their cases. Regardless, Beavis and Butt-Head are pretty sexist.
* PubescentBraces: Butt-Head is an awkward high schooler who wears braces and always tries to score girls.
* QuestForSex: They always do whatever they can to "score". Of course, because of their stupidity and social ineptitude, [[FailureIsTheOnlyOption they never succeed]].
* RedOniBlueOni: Beavis and Butt-head, respectively. Beavis is more emotional and prone to outbursts, while Butt-Head is a lot more stoic and lazier.
* {{Sadist}}: They always sit back and enjoy when someone else is beaten, maimed, or suffering in front of them.
* SignatureLaugh: Uhhh-huh-huh-huh! Hehehehehehe!
* SinisterSchnoz: Downplayed, but the two have rather sizeable noses and are known for their delinquent behavior. Interestingly, Butt-Head's nose is also larger, which is rather fitting given his abuse of Beavis and generally nastier disposition.
* TheSlacker: Very much so. The two never do their homework, constantly screw around at their jobs, and overall spend most of their time watching TV and doing whatever the plot drives them to do.
* TheSociopath: They are usually completely unempathetic towards others and always laugh at, ignore, or encourage someone who is going through horrible troubles. Butt-Head is the worst of the duo and is even diagnosed as a sociopath by a school psychologist, as revealed in the episode "Refuse Service" during a music video commentary.
* SpringtimeForHitler: In one episode, they actually manage to recover a crippled baby bird… while they were trying to do the complete opposite because watching it die might be interesting.
* StrawLoser: They are so stupid and pathetic that they make ''any'' other loser or lowlife look ''brilliant'' by comparison.
* StupidEvil: They range from feelings of "whatever" to hate for virtually everything that has nothing to do with junk food, sex, mayhem, or the music they like, including air.
* TeensAreMonsters: Both of them act in such a way that it's easy why one can see them as total assholes, while with [[{{Delinquent}} little respect for authority]].
* TheyKilledKennyAgain: Several episodes end with the boys approaching certain death, only to show up alive and well in the very next episode. With the multiverse firmly established by 2022, it's likely these are alternate realities showing the duo will get themselves killed sooner or later.
* ThisLoserIsYou: Pretty much the ultimate example. Beavis and Butt-Head are stereotype of slackers, metalheads, and troublemakers, which enough people would suppose from a majority of their fans.
* ToiletHumor: They like to make jokes about "Number Two" in addition to their sexual humor.
* TooDumbToLive: They can barely read and they do stuff that would risk getting a normal person killed, or at least injured. Multiple episodes have one or both of them do something stupid and dangerous (such as getting stuck in a pipe, eating a piece of chicken that they then choke on, or sitting on a photocopier and falling through it), then doing the same thing again at the end of the episode, having learned nothing. In one episode, they '''forgot how to urinate''', to the utter disbelief of their principal.
* TrademarkFavoriteFood: The boys love junk food in general. Gas station nachos, fast food like burgers and pizza, candy, chips, and tacos just to name a few. In fact, one of the few motivations for the boys to bother to even show up at school is when the cafeteria serves tacos.
* UltimateJobSecurity: They've never shown any ounce of competence at their job at Burger World and have gotten the place closed for health code violations at least once, not to mention blatant workplace violations such as fighting each other in an attempt to earn workman's comp or going "on strike" and just refusing to work for no reason. Yet they were never shown having been fired.
* UngratefulBastard: They usually won't thank anyone who helps them.
* UnintentionallyKarmic: Their stupidity has often gotten other people punished or humiliated. Nevertheless, their victims sometimes end up deserving it due to being either as unpleasant as they are or too negligent to prevent the fiasco from happening themselves. Three episodes that come to mind are "Steamroller", "Prank Call", and "Drones".
* UnsympatheticComedyProtagonist: They're both mischievous delinquents whose antics cause all sorts of trouble, but that's why the audience loves them.
* VillainousGlutton: They are selfish, amoral delinquents who tend to binge on junk food (especially nachos). They even once became morbidly obese by eating nothing but fast food for 30 days straight in a misguided attempt to become rich and famous.
* VillainProtagonist: They're both prone to being jerkasses to what they don't find cool enough, and their main antagonist is a principal who's suffering from nervous breakdowns because of the duo's abuse.
* VitriolicBestBuds: They form a very clear example, verbally attacking each other quite often. Especially since almost everyone else who knows them can't stand them and, often enough, vice-versa. They are prone to using each other rather than being 'buds', for that matter.
-->'''Butt-Head:''' ''(to Beavis)'' Shut up, buttknocker! *whack*
* WalkingDisasterArea: They tend to wreak havoc wherever they go simply by being present. Their colossal stupidity has, among other things, created traffic collisions, mass destruction, and public disarray. In ''[[WesternAnimation/BeavisAndButtheadDoAmerica Do America]]'', the duo creates more havoc than ''actual terrorists'' with their stupidity, such as causing a massive power outage and flooding by setting foot in the Hoover Dam.
* WhoWouldBeStupidEnough: These guys would. One example of many being flying a kite during a thunderstorm after watching a documentary of Creator/BenjaminFranklin's famous kite flying; when a MediaWatchdog interviews them and sees the TV listing, she said "no it couldn't be" so she asked if they watching anything else, Butt-Head said they also watched music videos.
* WithFriendsLikeThese: Considering Butt-Head's endless tormenting and abuse of Beavis. The two of them put together also count as this for Stewart. Not to mention that Beavis once told that Butthead is "not really my friend".
* YoungerThanTheyLook: For the 2022 series, Old Beavis and Butt-head in the alternate universe where they never time-traveled look relatively old, with both showing wrinkles and Butt-head even having a receding hairline. However, going by the math, if they were high school teenagers circa 1998 and made it to 2022 having grown naturally, they should really be in their late 30s at the youngest or early 40s at the oldest. That being said, the pair looking more like they're in their 50s or beyond is likely justified by the lazy, sedentary lifestyle they lead, eating junk food non-stop and doing a lot of dumb, self-destructive things that lead to their health worsening. Humorously, Tom Anderson in this alternate timeline looks even younger than the duo by now, considering he's likely in his 90s.

[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/beavis_6360.jpg]]

Beavis is (even) dumber than Butt-Head, and more than a little crazy. He has an alter ego called "The Great Cornholio" that emerges when he has too much sugar or caffeine.

* AccidentalHero: Most of the time, they unintentionally bring good fortune either by touching random things that just so happen to bring good luck or by [[SpringtimeForHitler downright failing]] to ''inflict bad fortune upon others''.
