{{quote|''"Beavis and Butt-head are not real. They are not role models. They're not even human. They are stupid cartoon people completely made up by [[Mike Judge|this Texas guy whom we hardly even know]]. Beavis and Butt-Head are [[The Ditz|dumb]], [[Heh, Heh, You Said "X"|crude]], [[Villain Protagonist|thoughtless]], [[Gonk|ugly]], [[Casanova Wannabe|sexist]], [[Too Dumb to Live|self-destructive]] [[Idiot Hero|fools]]. Some of the things they do would cause a real person to get hurt, expelled, arrested, and possibly deported. But for some reason, the little weinerheads [[Rule of Funny|make us laugh]]. To put it another way: [[Don't Try This At Home]]."''|'''The original preshow content disclaimer(s)'''}}
{{quote|''"In time ''Beavis and Butt-head'' will become defined as a very, very significant part of American culture. It's brilliant. I've got all the tapes."''|'''[[Patrick Stewart]]'''}}
Line 155:
* [[Everything Is Big in Texas]]
* [[Everything's Better With Bob]]: Bob's Fancy Skeet in "Heroes".
* [[Fake
* [[Falling Into the Cockpit]]: Literally happens to Butt-Head in [[The Movie]] (the cockpit of an airplane while it was plummeting), leading to this exchange:
{{quote| '''Pilot:''' Get the hell out of the cockpit!<br />
'''Butt-Head:''' [[Heh, Heh, You Said "X"|Huh huh... you said--]]<br />
'''Pilot:''' [[Curse Cut Short|NOW!!!]] ''(pulls Butt-Head out of the way)'' }}
* [[Fantastic Racism]]: In "Animation Sucks", Mr. Van Driessen shows the class an animated film he created about green and purple characters who didn't like each other because they were different colors.
Line 179:
'''Teacher''': "Dammit! The only Spanish you two learned is from Taco Bell, and Beavis can't even get ''that'' right!" }}
* [[Groin Attack]]: These two practically brought it to an ''art form''.
* [[Gross
* [[Hair-Trigger Temper]]: Todd.
* [[Halloween Episode]]: "Bungholio: Lord of the Harvest".
* [[Hates Being Touched]]: Beavis. Don't touch me, asswipe!
* [[Heh, Heh, You Said "X"]]: [[Trope Namer]].
* [[Helicopter Flyswatter]]: Parodied in the opening scenes of ''Beavis and Butthead Do America''.
* [[Helium Speech]]: In one episode, Beavis and Butt-Head buy balloons and try this on themselves. Upon hearing each other speak in high-pitched voices, the duo come to the conclusion that "WE'RE NEUTEEEEEEEEEEERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRED!!!"
Line 212:
'''Butt-Head:''' Uh, do you use that kind of language at home? }}
* [[Is That a Threat]]: The Great Cornholio. "ARE YOU THREATENING ME!?"
* [[Karma Houdini]]: Despite their stupid destructive antics at School, Work, Mr. Anderson's yard, and everywhere else, Beavis and Butt-Head ACTUALLY get away with it most of the time. And when they do get caught and penalized for it, they won't learn anything. Huh huh huh huh. [[Heh, Heh, You Said "X"|"Penal".]]
** Whenever the thieves Russ and Harlan commit some art of robbery (i.e. the time they robbed the Stevenson house, breaking into Beavis and Butt-head's house and steal their TV set in the feature film, not to mention that they were also meant to be hired by Muddy to kill Dallas, and looting a office in the 2011 revival) They NEVER get caught nor receive some comeuppance.
** Todd apparently takes advantage of and beat up Beavis and Butt-head and he never receives some sort of comeuppance for it and they would get in trouble with the law in his place... unless you count what happens to Todd in "Virtual Stupidity" as canon.
Line 225:
'''Beavis''': ''We'' always wear the same thing! I've been wearing this shirt for six months!<br />
'''Butt-Head''': I've been wearing this shirt for seven months. }}
* [[Literal Ass
* [[MacGuffin]]: The stolen TV, in the movie. Technically, the whole plot is about them trying to find a new one (or get the money to buy a new one) but that becomes irrelevant to the story pretty quickly. Then they find it [[Brick Joke|thirty seconds before the end]].
* [[Made of Iron]]: Whether it's being maimed by the bouncer at a mud-wrestling club, piercing their own ears with a power drill and getting serious infections, suffering a major nosebleed, getting their faces slashed with dirty razors when they try to shave, getting hit in the crotch with a bowling ball, crashing head-first into the wall of their house, or getting sucked up into a tornado and crash-landing on the ground before being flattened by a phone booth, Beavis and Butt-Head suffered injuries that should have killed them many times over.
Line 258:
** Also, a lot of them tend to be as ignorant as they are. Leading to [[Hypocritical Humor]].
* [[Not Quite Dead]]: In the final episode of the original run, Principal McVicker supposedly died from a heart attack or stroke. Now he's alive and (relatively) well.
* [[Onion Tears]]: In a post-[[
* [[Only in It For The Money]]
{{quote| '''Mr. Manners:''' Listen, you little twerp. This is my job. This is how I make money. Don't screw with me.}}
Line 286:
* [[Pyromaniac]]: Beavis was this until [[Moral Guardians]] thought kids would imitate the behavior.
** He still was, he just didn't vocalize it. In "Way Down Mexico Way" he heavily emphasizes the first syllable in "''fire''works". At another point they see a music video which is slow-motion of a man casually jogging down the street while totally ablaze; while Beavis never used his former catch phrase, he apparently entered a state of nirvana and calmly and quietly threatened grievous bodily harm when Butt-Head said he was going to change the channel.
* [[Double Standard Rape (Male On Male)]]: It's heavily implied that Beavis was drugged and raped by a grief counselor in ''Drones''.
* [[Really Gets Around]]: Based on comments made by the titular characters, it sounds like Beavis' mom is quite promiscuous.
{{quote| '''Beavis''': "She's not a whore, she's a slut; she doesn't charge for it."}}
Line 297:
* [[Sadistic Choice]]: During "Massage" the boys are left with two choices. Either give a massage to a disgusting old man, or get arrested for disrupting the massage guys business. They(Very reluctantly) choose the old man.
* [[Sadist Teacher]]: Buzzcut, although he is still very protective of his students.
* [[Second
* [[Seemingly
* [[Sexual Karma]]: Beavis and Butt-Head are constantly attempting to score with chicks. These attempts always, without exception, end in failure.
* [[Shout
** The restaurant is also based on the regional "Whataburger" chain (Judge worked at one in high school).
* [[Sick Episode]]: "Sick", in which Beavis and Butt-Head try to get prescription drugs in order to get high.
Line 330:
* [[Subverted Rhyme Every Occasion]]: "There once was a man from Venus, / with a rocket ship for a... wiener."
* [[Super Bowl Special]]: During the height of its popularity, MTV would run a special episode against the Super Bowl halftime show.
* [[Super
* [[Take That]]: To anyone who stands still long enough, but one memorable example was when Beavis and Butt-head went to a poetry reading, and Beavis ended up drinking some incredibly powerful cappuccino, triggering his Cornholio persona. The beret-wearing poetry snobs, of course, thought his insane ranting was ''genius''. They stayed for ''hours'' listening to his "I am Cornholio, I need TP for my bunghole" glossolalia. He started to tire as the caffeine wore off, and the crowd started to leave... so of course the guy Beavis was sitting with dosed him with another almost-lethal cappuccino.
** Mike Judge was told by [[MTV]] that Kip Winger had forbade the network from making fun of Winger videos, and the channel restricted the show from ever making fun of the band's videos again. In response, punching-bag Stewart wore a Winger shirt. Judge later learned that Winger didn't have a problem with the show.
