History Characters / BeavisAndButthead

* 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.

She was very upset and angry that Beavis and Butt-Head got off scot free.

* 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 has become 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.

* IncompetenceInc: Even more so than his predecessor to where he tolerates the boys.

* 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.

[[folder:Mr. Manners]]
An educational speaker who comes to Highland under a different persona, and usually runs afoul of Beavis and Butt-Head.

* TheSadist: He usually enjoys watching Beavis suffer.

* AntiVillain: He's the closest thing Beavis and Butt-Head have to an ArchEnemy.
* 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.

%%* BigBad: The main one of the show.

* 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 2022/3 revival, as in his adulthood, Old Butt-head is overweight.

* FormerlyFit: As a teenager, he was noticeably slim and in decent shape. As the years went on, however, he has become 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").

* VagueAge: A rather downplayed example as they're both obviously teenagers in high school, but exactly how old or what grade they're in is never revealed. Of course that their intelligence is ''quite'' below what you'd expect from any teenager (to put it rather mildly) makes this not very important.

An old woman who befriends Beavis and Butt-Head during their journey across America. Voiced by the late, great Cloris Leachman.

%%* BigBadDuumvirate:
%%* Fanservice:
* 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.
* OutlawCouple:

* BigBadDuumvirate:
* OutlawCouple: With Dallas.

* TheComicallySerious:
* InkSuitActor

* WithFriendsLikeThese: Though Beavis and Butt-Head don't consider him a friend.

* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: 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.

* 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".

* 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.

* 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.)

* 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.

** In "Safe Drivng," even he was horrified at the wreckage scene in Coach Buzzcut's driver's ed video.

* RaceLift: Was originally African-American, but was changed to white to avoid accusations of racism. (Since he has a gun on his person.)

* 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.

* JerkWithAHeartOfJerk: In "Candy Sale," he stops Mr. Candy from physically assaulting Beavis, but only because he believes only ''he'' can beat up his students.

* 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.

* 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.

** 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.

* 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.

* 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.

* BackFromTheDead: Despite having been gut-shot in "Butt Flambe," and seen dying of his wounds in the hospital, he returns in Season 8.

* TheUnseen: Is never seen on screen, and isn't even given a name until the second movie. Also applies to her companion, Butt-Head's mother. According to the music videos, she disappears for weeks at a time.

* 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".

A local adult and Van Dreissen's "lady friend."

* EvilCounterpart: Inverted. The pair are much nicer to each other than the main duo, with Smart Butt-Head and Smart Beavis showing no kind of animosity.

* 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.

* {{Expy}}: Designed to resemble Queen Victoria and Prince Albert.

* NeverGetsFat: 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.

* {{Sadist}}: They always sit back, encourage, and enjoy it whenever someone is getting beaten up in front of them (whether they deserve it or not).

* DoesNotLikeSpam: {{Implied|Trope}} with Count Chocula; he attacks Old Beavis when the latter suggests buying it at the grocery store.

* FatAndSkinny: Downplayed, while the two are both skinny, Butt-head looks slightly stockier and more hunchbacked compared to Beavis. Player straight in in some episodes of the 2022/3 revival, as in his adulthood, Old Butt-head is overweight.
