If I recall correctly, this show was initially made for gen-Xers/an Affectionate Parody of them.


** The 2022 revival featuring middle-aged, battered by life Beavis and Butt-Head still acting and living like the dumb teenagers they were can leave a bitter aftertaste for many millennials who have aged together with the characters and who similarly aren't quite where they imagined they would be when they were younger. In other words, Beavis and Butt-Head being like us when we were teens was relatable and funny. [[ThisLoserIsYou Finding similarities between them and us]] in their middle age feels downright depressing.

* CatharsisFactor: Anytime Beavis manages to get one over Butt-Head especially in the 2022 revival series where Butt-Head's abuse of Beavis went through the roof. Special mention happens in the episode "Are You There God? It's Me, Beavis" where, after contracting rabies, Beavis acts like a feral animal and not only he viciously attacks Butt-Head, but manages to ''scare him off''! A lot of fans consider this an awesome moment since Butt-Head has been more of a jerk to Beavis in the second revival series.

* JerksAreWorseThanVillains: Due to his unchecked bullying and manipulation of Beavis and Butt-Head, Todd stands out as the most dislikable character in the series. [[SadistTeacher Coach Buzzcut]] is equally brutal, but he is also thought to be [[LaughablyEvil highly entertaining to watch]] owing to [[LargeHam his overdramatic tendencies]], in contrast to Todd, who comes off as mean-spirited in a realistic fashion.

* OnceOriginalNowCommon: The show was, back in the day, controversial. It was also one of the biggest boogeymen among {{Moral Guardian}}s. Nowadays, compared to many adult animated shows thereafter like ''WesternAnimation/SouthPark'' and ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy'', the show seems tame by comparison, and even corny at times.

No aversions, please. And YMMV cannot be Played With.


* TheProblemWithLicensedGames: SugarWiki/{{No|ProblemWithLicensedGames}}tably {{averted|Trope}} with ''Beavis and Butt-Head in Virtual Stupidity'', a really excellent [[PointAndClickGame point-and-click]] adventure. Same can be said for ''Beavis and Butt-Head Do U'', though that game is more SoOkayItsAverage.
** Played straight with the SNES and Genesis games, which were mediocre (and ''very'' NintendoHard) platformers. (The Genesis one also has shades of AdventureGame and is actually somewhat decent, if not good, but the SNES one is just a straight mediocre platformer).

** Coach Buzzcut has become one in recent years, because of his LoveToHate nature, memorability, and the sex-ed week scene from "No Laughing", which has become a meme.
