Tom Anderson

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:

Accidental Misnaming: He's referred to our heroes as everything from "Buford and Bernardo" to "Butt-Hole and Joe". This continues even decades later, when he addresses the middle-aged Beavis and Butt-Head as "Belvis and Bunhowzen" when they pretend to be veterans to get beer at the Legion.
Aesop Amnesia: 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.
Ascended Extra: 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 Demoted to Extra, 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.
Blind Mistake: Even with his glasses on he has blurry vision which is why the dense duo are able to fool him half the time.
Butt-Monkey: 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, and he's eventually mistaken for a terrorist.
Character Catchphrase:
- "What in the hell?!"
- "Aren't you the same kids who [X]?" (or something else along those lines)
Cool Old Guy: He's fairly laid-back and friendly, as long as things aren't working against him.
Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass: For all of his Butt-Monkey 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 a war veteran.
Deuteragonist: Beavis and Butt-head are the co-protagonists who get equal billing but in the 2022 revival, Anderson has become this. Back during the show's first run, Anderson was a major supporting character who shared the spotlight with Buzzcut, Stewart, Daria, the Burger World Manager, and McVicker but was still just part of the tapestry. But in the 2022 series, Anderson's prominence has increased to the point where we get more backstory on his history as a soldier, see more insight into his family life when he talked to the duo about his estranged son, and get to watch as Anderson gets a little more independent screen time from the duo (aside from the war stories) where he also gets to take part in the main story arcs (or as close to a story arc as can be by B&B standards) when Smart Beavis and Butt-head come after him in "Abduction".
Eagleland: He's very patriotic and frequently shares war stories of his time in World War II and Korea.
Horrible Judge of Character: Zig-Zagged. He thinks Beavis and Butt-Head are responsible young men, because due to his poor vision he never recognizes them as the same boys who always take advantage of him and screw everything up. However he holds those two boys with nothing but distain.
Kindhearted Simpleton: 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 Skewed Priorities 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.
Mr. Fixit: 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.
Mythology Gag: Starting in the 2022 revival, he gets many jokes referencing King of the Hill, the show he helped inspire.
Nice Guy: 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.
Older Than They Look: 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.
Only Sane Man: 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.
Overranked Soldier: His war story shorts show Anderson to be in command of other soldiers but shows Skewed Priorities 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.
Papa Wolf: 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.
Rambling Old Man Monologue: 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.
Shell-Shocked Veteran: 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 the Marines who rescued him.
Skewed Priorities: 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!
Throw the Dog a Bone: 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.
With Friends Like These...: 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.

Mr. And Mrs. Stevenson

Stewart's less-than-ideal parents.

Tropes associated with the Stevensons:

Abusive Parents: 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.
Ass Shove: 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.
Character Catchphrase: "Oh dear!" for Mrs. Stevenson
Depending on the Writer: 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.
Dirty Coward: Mr. Stevenson shows this at times, such as the Abusive Parents example above.
Dumb Blonde: 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 (most of the time).
Enraged by Idiocy: 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.
The Generic Guy: 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.
Hair-Trigger Temper: Mr. Stevenson is prone to getting pissed off, mainly by the duo.
Horrible Judge of Character: 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.
Jerk with a Heart of Gold: 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).
Laser-Guided Karma: Mr. Stevenson, after trying to get Harry Sachz to go after Stewart to save himself, ends up having a phone shoved where, in Harry's words, he'd "have an awful hard time dialing it".
My Beloved Smother: 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, one can't blame her for wanting to protect him; if only the same could be said about her husband.
Stacy's Mom: Mrs. Stevenson, to Butt-Head at least who periodically makes passes at her.

Lolita and Tanqueray

Two trailer trash girls who are recurring objects of lust for Beavis and Butt-Head.

Tropes associated with Lolita and Tanqueray:

Affectionate Nickname: Tanqueray calls Beavis "sugar britches".
Early Installment Character-Design Difference: They look completely different in "Tornado" than they do in "Date Bait" and "Teen Talk".
Fille Fatale: Especially in "Date Bait".
Meaningful Name: "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.
Off to See the Wizard: 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.
Put on a Bus: They appeared in three episodes between 1993 and 1994 and have never appeared again.
Race Lift: Lolita appears to be African-American or at least Ambiguously Brown in "Tornado" but is Caucasian in "Date Bait and "Teen Talk".
Really Gets Around: 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.
Those Two Guys: They are never seen without each other.
Trailer Park Tornado Magnet: Their trailer park attracts a tornado in "Tornado".
The Vamp: They take advantage of B&B in "Date Bait".

Hamid

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:

Butt-Monkey: Is constantly on the receiving end of the boys' antics; they have cost him two jobs.
Funny Foreigner: Appears to be from somewhere in the Middle East.
Honest John's Dealership: Hamid himself isn't particularly unscrupulous, but he does end up working for one at one point.
New Job as the Plot Demands: 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.
Operator from India: Subverted in "Tech Support". He is much more likely from the Middle East than India and obviously lives in Highland instead too.

Crazy Old Farmer/Janitor

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.

Amazing Technicolor Population: In his more villainous roles, he has pale blue skin.
Ambiguously Human: He has a blue Undeathly Pallor and yellow eyes, and in the Halloween episode, he's done something to Butt-Head that causes his skin to turn the same color as his, and has him gleefully join him in murdering Beavis with chainsaws. It's implied that he could be some kind of zombie.
Ax-Crazy: Cemented when he kills Beavis.
Bald of Evil: He's bald and psycho.
Character Catchphrase: "This is liable to get messy!"
Depending on the Writer: 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.
Disproportionate Retribution: Kills Beavis just for trespassing on his lawn.
Evil Laugh: He can be heard doing an unhinged sounding chuckle throughout his appearance in "Bungholio: Lord of the Harvest".
Karma Houdini: Presumably because he only attacks the duo near the end of the episodes that he appears in.
Mind Rape: Implied to have inflicted his on Butt-Head in the Halloween Episode, turning him just as psychotic as he is.
Nightmare Fuel Station Attendant: Has a creepy laugh whenever he's about to do something horrific.
The Sociopath: Shows no mercy for his victims and in an episode is quick to judge the duo's foolish behavior.
Vile Villain, Saccharine Show: The series isn't "saccharine" by any means, but he's a rather strange and frightening villain in a show that's normally pretty crude and comedic.

Todd Ianuzzi

Voiced in English by: Toby Huss (under the pseudonym Rottiilio Michieli in the original series), Mike Judge (The Crush)

Voiced in Japanese by: Fumihiko Tachiki (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:

Adaptational Karma: As supplementary video games usually don't tend to be canon (unless otherwise stated) to a main TV series or its movies, Todd getting completely humiliated by the duo and arrested in Virtual Stupidity is this, being one of the few times he gets punishment in another media format whereas he remained untouched in the show and movies, outside of Beavis having a daydream where Serena kills him.
Anti-Role Model: Beavis and Butt-Head worship him, despite being a ruthless thug.
Broken Pedestal: To Beavis anyway, as of Do the Universe, if his daydream is anything to imply.
The Bully: If he's not threatening to beat the other-loving hell out of Beavis and Butt-Head, then it's because he's busy doing just that,(not that they mind, though).
The Bus Came Back: Despite otherwise being absent in the 2022 revival, an alternate universe alien version of Todd appears in "Abduction."
The Casanova: Almost all the girls get him, despite his nature.
Characterization Marches On: 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 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.
Chuck Cunningham Syndrome: He is yet to appear in the 2022 revival outside of Do the Universe.
Even Evil Has Standards: In the Breather Episode, he doesn't give Beavis and Butt-Head a beating because they handed over some money as 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.
Even the Guys Want Him: At least to the extent that Beavis & Butt-Head want to join his gang.
Evil Is Petty: 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.
First-Name Basis: 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.
Good Counterpart: As "Abduction" reveals, he has a Smart counterpart who presides over the trial of Smart Beavis and Butt-head. In contrast to how Todd normally is, Smart Todd is much more intelligent, eloquent, and lawful, with Smart Daria even praising him for his defense of the law. He's still perfectly fine with putting Smart Beavis and Butt-head to death but at least this time, he's doing it in defense of the system that the Smart duo abused.
Hair-Trigger Temper: 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.
Hate Sink: 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 Pet the Dog 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.
Karma Houdini: 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).
Karma Houdini Warranty:
- 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.
More Hateable Minor Villain: In comparison to the movie villains and the duo's Sitcom Archnemesis McVicker, he's this. In the grand scheme of things, Todd's little more than a local thug but McVicker is the duo's most recurring Arch-Enemy in a position of authority who's constantly stressed out by the duo, is trying to enforce school rules, and can have rare moments of decency. Additionally, Muddy and Dallas from the first movie were Western Terrorists who presented a threat to the entire country with their biological weapon and as bad as they were, even they at least offered the duo money for what they thought were the pair's assassination skills. Serena Ryan from Do The Universe was a Corrupt Politician who confessed to murdering people but she at least started out as a decent person when she was younger and ultimately backed down from her antagonism when she found out the truth about Beavis and Butt-head. In contrast to all the other antagonists who have more legal authority than him or present a much greater political threat, Todd is easily more petty and despicable than all of them, showing no redeeming qualities, mercilessly beating the duo up, and never once doing a single decent (or even transactional) thing in his interactions with the main protagonists.
Nice Mean And In Between: Whenever Todd is around the duo, they share an extreme version of this dynamic. Todd is the meanest of the three, having almost no positive qualities and behaving in a violent, antisocial manner most of the time, with his only Pet the Dog moments being those times he decides not to beat up the duo. Butt-head is in between, being a massive Jerkass but one with a Hidden Heart of Gold who can sometimes treat Beavis as a true friend like when he offered Beavis the chance to "do" Serena together in Beavis And Butthead Do The Universe and praying for Beavis to get better like in the episode "Take a Bow". Beavis, meanwhile, is the nice one, relatively speaking, as he can act the politest and nicest of the three and the show outright confirms that without Butt-head's influence, he would be a slightly stupid but good guy who volunteers at soup kitchens under the influence of better friends like Stewart.
Pet the Dog:
- Same as with Buzzcut, and even more so 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.
Sinister Shades: Is almost always seen with his sunglasses.
Sleeves Are for Wimps: ...and in his blue sleeveless shirt.
Stop Worshipping Me: Towards Beavis and Butt-Head.
Vocal Evolution: 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.

Billy Bob

A morbidly obese hillbilly who occasionally gets caught up in the boys' misadventures.

Tropes associated with Billy Bob:

Berserk Button: Making off with his scooter is not a good idea...
Big Eater: Hinted massively in "Bedpans and Broomsticks", where he is first shown in a doctor's office for artery problems and suffers from Meat-O-Vision.
Cigar Chomper: He even has one when he's on the treadmill.
Fat Slob: As a result of his poor diet and lack of exercise.
Handicapped Badass: 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.
Lightning Bruiser: Sure, he's fatter then Peter Griffin, but he can move fast enough to keep pace with a scooter & smash through walls extremely easily.
Made of Iron: If nothing else, Billy Bob can take a beating and keep on ticking.
Naked People Are Funny: After the duo steals 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 which leave nothing to the imagination given how large he is.
Put on a Bus: 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.
Stout Strength: He can smash through walls with just his rage alone and he's rather obese.
Unstoppable Rage: 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.

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:

Ass Shove: 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.
Ax-Crazy: Given what he ended up doing to Mr. Stevenson, it is safe to say he is severely emotionally unstable, to say the least.
Back from the Dead: Despite having been gut-shot in "Butt Flambé" and seen dying of his wounds in the hospital, he returns in Season 8.
Bald of Evil: While he has some hair growing down from the back, the top is empty.
Berserk Button: Prank calling him and breaking into his house are two big no-nos.
Butt-Monkey: In "Prank Call", he gets repeated crank calls from Beavis and Butt-Head for over a month.
Dub Name Change: For some bizarre reason (not by censorship, mind you), the Latin American Spanish subtitles changed his name to Jesus Jones, the name of a British rock band which was famous in the same time period. It's worth mentioning here because the Spanish subtitles were more profane than the original English dialogue.
Hair-Trigger Temper: He is quick to anger and willing to get violent.
Misplaced Retribution: He gives Mr. Stevenson a brutal Ass Shove when he mistakes him for his prank caller. Unlike most examples, Mr. Stevenson ended up deserving it anyway.
No-Holds-Barred Beatdown: Threatens to do this to Beavis and Butt-Head in "Prank Call", which he does end up doing in "Butt Flambé".
Sanity Slippage: Weeks of constant crank calls from Beavis and Butt-Head drive him over the edge and cause him to seek violent retribution.
Stout Strength: His considerable gut doesn't stop him from being able to kick a door clear off its hinges.
Unfortunate Names: 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.

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:

Benevolent Boss: 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 Bad Boss... 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. 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.
Butt-Monkey: 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.
Chuck Cunningham Syndrome: In the 2022 revival, Burger World has a new manager. It can be assumed that he either transferred to a new restaurant, was fired for letting Beavis and Butt-Head cause so much trouble for his store, or may have simply retired during the long period of time Beavis and Butt-head went missing.
Enraged by Idiocy: He has little patience for Beavis and Butt-Head not doing their jobs as he asks. Yet he never fires them...
Incompetence, Inc.: He and his Burger World franchise are this just because he 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.
Lampshade Hanging: 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...
No Name Given: Surprisingly, his first name is never addressed, despite being a recurring character. Beavis and Butt-head always refer to him as "that manager dude".
Pointy-Haired Boss: 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.
Ultimate Job Security: 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 into it. He certainly doesn't put a lot of effort into keeping the duo in check at work, though.

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):

Incompetence, Inc.: 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.
Suspiciously Similar Substitute: He looks and sounds similar to his predecessor, only he's a bit slimmer and black.

Mr. Manners

An educational speaker who comes to Highland under a different persona, and usually runs afoul of Beavis and Butt-Head.

Tropes associated with Mr. Manners:

Asshole Victim: Is a pompous salesman, so the audience doesn't feel too bad when Beavis and Butt-Head get him fired.
Continuity Nod: In "Candy Sale" he says it took him six months to find a job after the events of Mr. Manners.
Mistaken for Pedophile: Beavis gets him fired in his debut episode by telling Van Driessen that he touched him.
Special Guest: Voiced by David Spade.
Too Dumb to Live: In his second appearance, he picks a fight with Buzzcut of all people, resulting in a very predictable No-Holds-Barred Beatdown.
Wimp Fight: 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 contend with Coach Buzzcut.
Would Hurt a Child: Or at least Beavis and Butt-Head, which gets him in trouble with Van Driessen and Buzzcut.

Shirley Beavis

Beavis's mother, whom we never see.

Abusive Parents: Beavis and Butt-Head often recall how she would try to abandon Beavis, such as leaving him at an Ikea so she could go to Las Vegas with some bikers; only for the pair to constantly run into one another.
The Alcoholic: Beavis mentions how she would often "come down with the liquor flu" and would ignore him as a child.
Break the Cutie: When she believes that her son has died in outer space.
The Faceless: Is never seen, although her hand is shown in a flashback during the 2022 revival, where she is shown to have pink nails.
Hero of Another Story: According to the realtor who is selling her house in 2022.
Invisible Parents: 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.
One-Night-Stand Pregnancy: Becomes pregnant with Beavis following a one-night stand with a couple of Mötley Crüe roadies.
Mama Bear: Sues NASA after hearing that her son died on a space mission. He actually just went through a wormhole, but she doesn't know that. Apparently, she got a generous settlement, too, although she eventually blew through it.
Parents as People: Is never around, and because of that, she has trouble keeping her son on the straight-and-narrow.
Really Gets Around: 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's chagrin.
Stacy's Mom: Butt-Head constantly calls her a slut, especially in the 2022 revival, and has joked about sleeping with her to Beavis.

Marcie Anderson

Tom Anderson's seldom-seen wife.

The Bus Came Back: 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".
Nice Girl: From what we see of her, she seems like a kind old lady, and seems oblivious to how destructive the duo are.
Satellite Character: Only appears in episodes with her husband with the exception of "Jump!" where she makes a silent cameo in a crowd scene.
Sudden Name Change: 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".

Ellen

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

Beware the Nice Ones: Despite being polite and kind, if you ruin her community garden, she will beat the snot out of you.
Granola Girl: She is highly in tune with nature and sells bee honey at the farmer's market.
Insistent Terminology: Van Dreissen refers to her as his "lady friend" not his girlfriend.

Keith

A newcomer to Highland, who looks like Butt-Head.

Doppelganger: Looks like Butt-Head from a distance, down to wearing a similar outfit, which causes Beavis to at first mistake him for Butt-Head.
Innocently Insensitive: He means well, but he can be a little inconsiderate. All Beavis wants is a ride to Maxi Mart, but he keeps forcing him to go on errands with him and treats him like a buddy. It takes Beavis outright hollering at him that he needs to go hours later, for him to get it through his thick skull.
Nice Guy: Compared to Butt-Head, Keith is a walk in the park.
The Ghost: He constantly mentions his friend Raf, and his girlfriend Marcie, who he wants Beavis to meet.
One-Shot Character: Only appears in "The Doppelganger", although Beavis promises to hang out with him afterwards.
The Thing That Would Not Leave: Never seems to understand Beavis doesn't want to be around him.
