3	Yes, even in a show like ''WesternAnimation/BeavisAndButtHead'', there's bound to be examples.

6	----
7	* Beavis getting a ton of letters from lady admirers in the "Letters To Santa Butt-Head" segment. And then BOTH of the boys getting a letter from a woman at the end!
8	** In the "It's a Miserable Life" episode, Beavis is shown to be a decent person in a world without Butt-Head, volunteering at a soup kitchen. And when Butt-Head assaults Beavis and tries to take him away, the homeless people Beavis served come to his defense and protect him.
9	* Butt-Head bonding with Cher in the "I Got You Babe" music video.
10	* Beavis apparently having a fairly heart-to-heart conversation with a single mother over the phone in the revival episode "Tech Support." It's treated as a joke because it's so out-of-character, but it was also kind of sweet.
11	** Also from "Tech Support", the boys' treatment of Hamid is nice, pronouncing his name right and offering him encouragement as he tries to emulate them.
12	*** '''Hamid:''' "Hey guys! This guy, he say 'Microsoft'! 'Micro'. 'Soft'. Is funny, right?"
13	*** '''Butt-Head:''' "Uh, not bad, Hamid."
14	*** '''Beavis:''' "Yeah. You're getting better."
15	* In "Manners Suck", when Beavis jokingly accuses Mr. Manners of trying to molest him, a horrified Mr Van Driessen ''unhesitatingly'' comes to the aid of Beavis and starts slapping the crap out of Mr. Manners. Of course, the entire scene is played as a joke, because A) Beavis is obviously lying, and B) Mr. Manners and Mr. Van Driessen proceed to engage in an extremely wimpy slap fight, but it really shows just how much Van Driessen cares for his students.
16	* Beavis's unlikely friendship with the old lady in ''WesternAnimation/BeavisAndButtHeadDoAmerica''.
17	* A more fitting PetTheDog moment for the two would be the episode "Skin Trade" where Beavis forms a bond with a dead animal he found at the dump that he treats like a pet. Twisted? Yes, but completely in character.
18	* The duo's unlikely friendship with the female criminal only known as "Biker Lady" in the early episode "Friday Night." They assist her in robbing the convenience store and she takes them for a ride on her motorcycle, before driving off.
19	* In the revival series, Beavis revealing that when he has low self esteem, he listens to Katy Perry's song "Firework" to feel better about himself. Even better, when Butt-Head taunts him for this, Beavis gives him a swift kick in the balls. "Dammit, I AM a firework! I'm an M80!" A satisfying combination of awesome, and somehow, kinda sweet.
20	* The end of ''WesternAnimation/BeavisAndButtHeadDoAmerica'', where they find their stolen TV. It's almost a BrickJoke considering the events of the movie, but still a ''very'' satisfying moment.
21	* In a twisted way, "Most Wanted." They boys come across a knife-toting psychopath on the run from the cops in their backyard. Just by being their blissfully idiotic selves, they manage to make him ''laugh,'' feel a little better about himself, and turn himself back in to police. And before he leaves, he even gives them prison tattoos as a parting gift! [[note]]On their butts. Of butts, with butt-shaped tattoos on them.[[/note]]
22	* In the episode "Foreign Exchange", it's pretty sweet to see Beavis and Butt-Head bonding with Hiro, the Japanese exchange student. The episode even ends with a photo of the three of them.
23	* Tom Anderson sticking up for the duo in "Daughter's Hand" was a very brave and bold move, even though he loses the fight.
24	* "Beavis and Butt-Head are Dead", the GrandFinale from 1997, is a loving tribute (via ClipShow) to the boys and their legendary stupidity over the years. According to WordOfGod, they did consider [[KilledOffForReal killing them off]], but they were such a labor of love by the producers that they couldn't bring themselves to do it. Pictured above, the episode instead ends with them walking into the sunset laughing to themselves, cracking about Principal [=McVicker=]. Cue closing credits, set to Liberace's "I'll Be Seeing You" (set over such touching clips as [[{{Squick}} Beavis scratching his itchy wiener with a Burger World spatula]]), with a message from the producers: "Thank you to all the talented artists, writers and highly intelligent people who worked so hard to make Beavis and Butt-Head look so dumb."
25	** In-universe, there's Van Driessen reminiscing about his experiences with Beavis and Butt-Head while they're still believed to be dead, showing that not only does he hold no ire for the various physical injuries and pain they've caused him, he still holds them in the same regard he holds for all of his students.
26	--> '''Van Driessen''': Beavis and Butt-Head did have a difficult journey through this life. I can only hope that now they've found whatever it was they were looking for.
27	* In "The Great Cornholio", Beavis actually ''apologizes'' to Principal [=McVicker=] for the trouble he's caused as Cornholio. [=McVicker=] was shocked so much, that he decides not to punish him and actually tells Beavis that he's [[SoProudOfYou proud of him]]. [=McVicker=] then gives him more candy, and Beavis ''actually thanks him''. It's really nice, and interesting, how genuinely good-hearted Beavis can be in isolated moments.
28	** The whole episode is uncharacteristically decent compared to the show's usual ComedicSociopathy. It opens with Beavis and Butt-Head bringing Stewart's homework to school while he's sick with diarrhea (with no expectation of personal gain). Mrs. Stevenson refuses to let the duo go to school hungry and gives them the breakfast burritos she made Stewart, possibly the ''only'' time an adult has shown anything resembling parental concern for their well-being.
29	* From the revival season, the episode "The Rat". Despite spending the first half of the episode trying to kill the eponymous rodent that's invaded their kitchen, the dim-witted duo -- Beavis, specifically -- end up saving its life by accident... and then, after the rat grows visibly attached to Beavis, he suggests that they keep it as a pet. Butt-Head's response? A rather nonchalant "Uh, okay."
30	** And despite breaking health regulations by taking it to Burger World, Beavis and Butt-Head ''do'' seem to like having the rat around. It's even still alive by the end of the episode!
31	** There's also the adorable image of the rat trotting along behind Beavis and Butt-Head as they make their way to work.
32	*** Not only that, the rat is revealed to have been female at the end, when Butt-Head finds the rat curled up with her babies. Then the episode just ends. Adorable.
33	* Believe it or not, there are moments in the show where Beavis and Butt-Head actually compliment each other from time to time. It’s nice to see as it doesn’t happen very often.
34	* Even if it's in his own strange little way ([[ItMakesSenseInContext a dumpster fire that he hallucinates as a deity commanding him to do its bidding]]), Beavis spends "The Special One" performing good deeds, getting exercise and studying; one of the rare occasions he manages to do something purely beneficial with his life.
35	* While it crosses over into TearJerker territory due to Beavis missing being abused by Butt-Head, in "Nice Butt-Head" he clearly notices something is wrong with Butt-Head from the medication he's taking. Beavis watched him basically down an entire prescription's worth of medicine in less than a day. [[RightForTheWrongReasons Even if it was to get his abusive friend back,]] Beavis shows that he DOES care about Butt-Head by making him vomit what amounts to DOZENS of pills from his stomach.
36	* In a way, Beavis talking to the baby in "Babysitting". As the baby babbles at him, Beavis responds by playfully ranting in gibberish. When the baby babbles back to him, Beavis concludes that the baby "is pretty cool".
37	* Butt-Head in "Take a Bow," all of the way. After spending ten days straight punching Beavis in the nads, Beavis ends up in the hospital, and when he thinks Beavis died, Butt-Head feels [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone surprisingly terrible about it]]. his remorse is so strong that it culminates in him ''praying'' for Beavis to get better in the hospital chapel.
38	--> '''Butt-Head''': Feeling bad sucks.
39	** A rather small moment, but when Beavis wakes up, Butt-Head refuses to kick him until he gets better, and even tells Beavis's roommate not to interrupt him.
40	** At the very end, Butt-Head is taking Beavis home in a wheelchair. You'd expect a HereWeGoAgain gag, with Butt-Head dumping Beavis onto the sidewalk or something, but instead we get this:
41	---> '''Butt-Head''': Uhh...Beavis, I'll probably laugh about it eventually, but [[SincerityMode it would've sucked if I'd killed you by hitting your nuts]].
42	---> '''Beavis''': Oh, really? Eh-heh-heh. Thanks, Butt-Head.
