Beavis has an underbite and a fixated stare on his face which rarely looks straight at the television viewer, but rather to the side. He is usually seen wearing a Metallica t-shirt, though in merchandising appearances, his shirt displays the slogan “Death Rock,” to avoid licensing issues.

For other uses, see Beaver (disambiguation). ...

Mike Judge once said in an interview that Beavis "is a zero" when it comes to intelligence;[citation needed] indeed, Beavis is often oblivious to the obvious. [2] Generally submissive to Butt-Head and willing to tolerate a large amount of his pal's physical and verbal abuse, Beavis nonetheless has certain limits. For instance, in “Murder Site,” Beavis was driven to attack and nearly kill Butt-Head, who wouldn’t cease calling him “butt-knocker," a term which Beavis inexplicably resents. Beavis also stood up to Butt-Head while they were watching a Rancid video: Butt-Head kept talking about it derisively, prompting Beavis to tell Butt-Head to shut up. When Butt-Head reacted with fury, ordering Beavis never again to tell him to shut up and threatening to kick his ass, Beavis preemptively kicked Butt-Head in the testicles, told him to shut up again, and walked out of the room to get something to eat. In another episode, while the duo were watching a Bon Jovi video, Beavis claimed to like one part of the song that was cool, causing Butthead to slap him. After being struck a few times, Beavis kicked Butt-Head in the groin and proclaimed "Bon Jovi rules!" (This particular segment was featured in the "Prank Call" episode, but only the version shown during the Super Bowl special). Michael Craig Judge (born 17 October 1962 in Guayaquil, Ecuador) is an American animator, actor, voice actor, writer, director, and producer, best-known as the creator and star of the hit animated television series Beavis and Butt-head and King of the Hill. ... Abuser redirects here. ...


In spite of his overt idiocy, Beavis possesses a number of character strengths. He has a tendency to be inadvertently witty and, when discussing various subjects that neither he nor Butt-Head understands, is more likely to guess the actual mechanisms at work. Also, on the rare occasion that a female exhibits interest in one of the duo, it is usually Beavis (as exemplified in the episodes: “Vidiots,” “Another Friday Night,” “Teen Talk,” ‘Letters to Santa Butt-Head’ in Christmas Special) who gets the attention; this could be because of Beavis’ somewhat childlike temperament, which is less off-putting than Butt-Head’s crasser, more blatantly sexual approaches. For example, when the two encounter members of the opposite sex, Butt-head will typically lead off with a smug opening line such as, “Hey baby,” which invariably flops; Beavis, on the other hand, will usually approach the woman with a less obvious “Hi!” or “Hey, how’s it going?” Easily influenced by Butt-Head, however, Beavis will often imitate his buddy's cruder pickup lines. Beavis has also shown instances of insight on such topics as the true meaning of Christmas, or in his analysis of a video by Korn. However, in both instances Beavis seems to either be in a trance or possessed, and shortly afterwards displays no recollection of what he just said.

Recklessness

Beavis also has a more volatile, unpredictable nature. His hasty actions, by and large, end in disaster, ranging from getting in trouble with the law, to severely injuring himself (cutting off the tip of his finger in episode: “Woodshop.") In such early episodes as: “Home Improvement,” “Comedians,” and “Stewart's House,” Beavis displayed signs of being a pyromaniac. Though his obsession with fire remained an obvious trait, as the seasons progressed, the emphasis of his fixation becomes less overt, and more of a passing gag.

Cornholio

Main article: The Great Cornholio
“I am the great Cornholio, I need T.P. for my bunghole!”

When roused or upset (or in an altered state due to ingesting a lot of sugar and/or caffeine), Beavis tends to undergo a radical personality change. He will raise his forearms in a 90-degree angle next to his chest, and then, upon clenching his fists, usually begins to yell or scream erratically, producing a stream of gibberish and strange noises. His eyes grow wide. In some music video segments, it is implied that he has epilepsy, and is prone to seizures. As seen in episodes: “Bad Dog” and “Radio Sweethearts,” Beavis also has a tendency to become quite excitable. These character traits are epitomized in an alter-ego of Beavis’ named Cornholio,’ a normally dormant persona which is awakened when Beavis consumes a sufficiently large quantity of sugar and/or caffeine. While under the influence of or taken over by Cornholio, Beavis pulls his shirt over his head, wanders aimlessly, while reciting “I am the Great Cornholio, I need TP for my bunghole in an odd, faux-Spanish accent. His two personas at times seem to clash, as Beavis will momentarily talk normally before resuming the persona of Cornholio. Once his Cornholio episode is over, Beavis usually has no memory of what happened. In the guise of Cornholio, Beavis becomes a successful beat poet, and on another occasion, gets deported to Mexico after being picked up at Burger World by an INS agent. The agent who arrests Beavis later brings him down to a station where he and his superiour attempt to make some sense of the gibberish that is Cornholio, even going as far as to look up the definition of bunghole.

Relationship with Butt-Head

Beavis and Butt-Head fighting.

Though the closest of confidants, as previously stated Beavis’s relationship with Butt-Head is extremely jaded, violent, and at times borders on sadistic. Butt-head often insults, and physically abuses Beavis (usually slapping him.) On occasion, however, Beavis will fight back and/or stand up for himself (as seen in episodes: “Madame Blavatsky,” “They're Coming To Take Me Away, Huh Huh”); his favorite means of exacting physical retribution tends to be kicking Butthead in the "nads". On at least one occasion ("Canoe"), Beavis has even gone so far as to throw the first punch as demonstrated by him first initiating a fight by smashing Butt-Head across the head with a paddle while on a trip with Van Driessen and Stewart (although Butt-Head did goad Beavis into doing it). Butt-Head, for his part, usually knows when Beavis is approaching his breaking point and will back off (as seen when he calls Beavis "buttknocker" or insults Metallica one too many times).

Beavis is usually depicted as being a follower of Butt-Head, willingly following most of his instructions, and cooperating in almost all of his endeavors. This subservience, however, appears to be simply a product of Beavis’ own general witlessness rather than any actual fear of Butt-head’s abuse — as demonstrated in the alternate future of “It’s a Miserable Life,” in which Butt-Head had never been born and Beavis was instead the friend of Stewart Stevenson.

Eccentricities

While Butt-Head's main interest in life is "chicks", Beavis also likes them, but appears to be more readily bestirred by toilet humour or displays of violence. Beavis has a penchant for making off-beat sound effects to suit the occasion. Whenever he sees something that is arousing, he imitates a spring (“Boi-oi-oi-oi-oiiing!!!”) He sometimes blows a raspberry by puckering his lips. He occasionally does impersonations of, among others, Principal McVicker in “Speech Therapy,” motivational speaker Mr. Manners/Mr. Candy, and Woody Woodpecker in episode “Top O' the Mountain.” During one episode, Beavis conspicuously reveals that he is sometimes prone to getting erections in the company of other men. Their feature film, Beavis and Butt-Head Do America, exposes Beavis’ fondness for masturbation, particularly in Tom Anderson's camper. A special ability of his is speaking backwards, as seen in the episode "Vidiots" while the duo review a music video; however, he forgets how to do so by the end of the video. Beavis also displays a bizarre predilection for feces and things related to it, and in a high pitched tone will often enthusiastically utter the word, “poop,” or will make the sound effect of "plop" to indicate a bowel movement. He frequently pulls down his pants during some music video reviews. He also took Kaopectate once because it was for diarrhea, and was angry that he didn't get diarrhea, only being soothed by an enormous bowel movement which, Beavis informed a disgusted Butt-Head, he saved in his dresser drawer. Sound effects or audio effects are artificially created or enhanced sounds, or sound processes used to emphasize artistic or other content of movies, video games, music, or other media. ... Blowing a raspberry or making a Bronx cheer is to make a noise made to signify derision (and/or silliness), made by sticking out the tongue between the lips and blowing to make a sound reminiscent of flatulence. ...

Beavis’ parents…

“My mom’s a slut . . meh heh heh.

As with Butt-Head, during the run of the series Beavis’ family is occasionally referred to but never seen; a prime example of this is his mother. According to some music video segments, however, it is said that she shares Beavis’ peculiar hairstyle, that she is somewhat plus-sized, and (most significantly) is regarded as a slut. While Beavis is conscious of this, it doesn’t seem to bother him much, as he often laughs along in agreement whenever Butt-head brings it up. Butt-head’s mother is also regarded as a tramp (as implied in Beavis and Butt-Head Do America.) Unlike Beavis, however, this point seems to annoy Butt-head, as evidenced in some earlier music video segments. Unseen characters are a common device in drama. ... Look up slut in Wiktionary, the free dictionary. ... This article or section contains a plot summary that is overly long or excessively detailed compared to the rest of the article. ...


Along with Butt-Head, Beavis is reunited with his biological father (who seems to exhibit many of Beavis’ eccentricities, most notably the same pyromania obsession; he also shares an overt physical likeness to him) in the Beavis and Butt-Head Do America feature film . Both men are said to be drifters and one-time roadies for rock band Mötley Crüe. However, they all remain oblivious to their father-son relation, and part ways again before they make the connection.

On the Couch with Beavis and Butthead (2714 words)
Beavis thinks that she will not, speculating that "she's embarrassed because she has a stiffie." Butthead attempts to explain that women cannot get erections, but the existence of humans without penises is unimaginable to Beavis.
Beavis has no idea what "thank you, drive through" means; he is oblivious to the possibility of words having reference, but he knows that this is a polite thing to say, so saying it all the time must mean that he is being polite.
Beavis taps into chaotic flows of language and desire which are unavailable to Butthead, and when Cornholio demands "olio" for his "bunghole," there is a clear suggestion that he wants to open it up, so that it might flow better, but also perhaps for other purposes, other improper pleasures.
