History Characters / BeavisAndButtHeadTitularCharacters

* AllTakeAndNoGive: They believe that they are owed whatever they want, yet they won't help others unless it benefits them in some way. This is most notable with Stewart, Tom Anderson, and Mr. Van Driessen.
* 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.

* AllTakeAndNoGive: They believe that they are owed whatever they want, yet they won't help others unless it benefits them in some way.

* AllTakeAndNoGive: They frequently screw over others (such as Stewart) to get what they want without providing them anything in return.

* EntitledBastard: They always expect people to bend over backwards for them, no matter how ridiculous, unsavory, or vague their requests are. They are promptly disappointed when they don't.

* EntitledBastard: They always expect people to bend over backwards for them, no matter how ridiculous or unsavory their requests are. They are promptly disappointed when they don't.

* EvilCannotComprehendGood: A {{downplayed}} example -- though not exactly 'evil', they are generally too stupid and amoral to recognize good deeds, feeling that something might be wrong. They mistake empathetic hugs for "scoring" and dismiss any genuine act of kindness as either mediocre or confusing.

* SpringtimeForHitler: In "A Very Special 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. They stupidly thought that the bird [[InsaneTrollLogic would automatically die only after it had eaten]].

* {{Sadist}}: They always sit back and enjoy when someone else is beaten, maimed, or suffering in front of them.

* SpringtimeForHitler: In "A Very Special 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.

* LackOfEmpathy: They generally couldn't care less when someone else is suffering. In "Breakdown", they show no remorse for immobilizing [=McVicker=] with 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]]".

* InsaneTrollLogic: Due to their low intelligence, they are quite prone to this. For instance, they accused a female classmate of sexual harassment because her appearance [[RagingStiffie gave them erections]].

* AccidentalHero: Most of the time, they unintentionally save the day either by touching random things that just so happen to bring good luck or by [[SpringtimeForHitler downright failing]] to ''inflict bad luck upon others for amusement''. "A Very Special Episode", "Spill", and ''[[WesternAnimation/BeavisAndButtheadDoAmerica Do America]]'' are the epitomes of this trope.

* InsaneTrollLogic: Due to their low intelligence, they have a tendency to rely on this. For instance, they accused a female classmate of sexual harassment because her appearance [[RagingStiffie gave them erections]].

* 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.

* 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.

* NeverLearnedToRead: They are generally illiterate, either misreading signs/labels as something else or finding them too difficult to understand. In "School Test", they take several hours to ''write their names''; Beavis [[EpicFail couldn't even do it correctly]], writing his as "Beafis".

* PubescentBraces: Butt-Head is an awkward high schooler who wears braces and always tries to score girls.

* NeverLearnedToRead: They are generally illiterate, either misreading signs/labels as something else or finding them too difficult to understand. In "School Test", they take several hours to ''write down their names''; Beavis [[EpicFail couldn't even do it correctly]], writing his as "Beafis".

* NeverLearnedToRead: They are generally illiterate, either 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".

* UncleanlinessIsNextToUngodliness: They are {{Unsympathetic Comedy Protagonist}}s who care nothing for their personal hygiene. In "Tainted Meat", Beavis scratches his nads like crazy at Burger World and accesses the grill ''without washing his hands first'', causing a disease outbreak and leaving 15 hospitalized.

* EvilCannotComprehendGood: A {{downplayed}} example -- though not exactly 'evil', they are generally too stupid and amoral to recognize good deeds, feeling that something might be wrong. They mistake empathetic hugs as "scoring" and dismiss any genuine act of kindness as either mediocre or confusing.

* GutturalGrowler: Speaks in the gravellest, screechiest voice Mike Judge can muster.

* 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.

* 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.

* WalkingDisasterArea: They tend to wreak havoc wherever they go simply by being present. Their colossal stupidity has created traffic collisions, mass destruction, and public disarray, among other things. 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.

* 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.

* AbhorrentAdmirer: They are this to whoever they attempt to hit on. They will always get rejected due to their stupidity, ugliness, and crude behavior.
