Beavis as you may already know is a character on the MTV series Beavis and Butt-Head.
He was voiced by the show’s creator, Mike Judge.
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. In Blood Drive he wears a Slayer shirt rather than his normal Metallica one.
He is slightly shorter than Butt-head, although he appears to be the same height when viewed at a distance due to his oversize pompadour-like hairstyle.
Beavis works as a fry cook at Burger World and once defiantly revealed that he’s a fan of Bon Jovi to Butt-head, who dislikes the band and its leader Jon Bon Jovi.
Mike Judge once said in an interview that Beavis "is a zero" when it comes to intelligence indeed, Beavis is often oblivious to what should be obvious. [2] Generally submissive to Butt-head and willing to tolerate a large amount of physical and verbal abuse, Beavis nonetheless has limits. 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 reacts with fury, ordering Beavis never again to tell him to shut up and threatening to kick his ass, Beavis preemptively kicks Butt-Head in the testicles, told him to shut up again, and walks out of the room to get something to eat. In another episode, while the duo were watching a Bon Jovi video, Beavis claims to like one part of the song that is cool, causing Butthead to slap him. After being struck a few times, Beavis kicks Butt-Head in the groin and proclaims "Bon Jovi rules!"
After consuming large amounts of sugar or caffeine, Beavis sometimes undergoes a radical personality change. He will raise his forearms in a 90-degree angle next to his chest, and then begins to yell or scream erratically, producing a stream of gibberish and strange noises. His eyes grow wide. He becomes an alter-ego named ‘Cornholio,’ a normally dormant persona. Beavis pulls his shirt over his head and wanders aimlessly, reciting “I am the Great Cornholio, I need TP for my bunghole” in an odd, faux-Spanish accent. Sometimes 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 (Buttniks), and in Vaya Con Cornholio he is deported to Mexico after being picked up at Burger World by an INS agent. The agent and his superior attempt to make sense of the gibberish that is Cornholio, going so far as to look up the definition of bunghole.
Relationship with Butt-Head
Though the closest of confidants, Beavis’ relationship with Butt-Head is jaded, violent, and at times borders on sadistic. Butt-head often insults and physically abuses Beavis (usually slapping him.) On occasion, Beavis will fight back or stand up for himself (Madame Blavatsky, They're Coming To Take Me Away, Huh Huh). His favorite means of retribution is kicking Butthead in the "nads". On at least one occasion Beavis throws the first punch. In Canoe he initiates a fight by smacking Butt-Head across the head with a paddle (although Butt-Head goaded him into doing it). Butt-Head 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 a follower, willingly following most of Butt-head's instructions and cooperating in almost all of his endeavors. This appears to be a byproduct of Beavis’ own general witlessness rather than any 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.
Beavis’ parents…
| “ | “My mom’s a slut . . meh heh heh. | ” |
Beavis’ family is occasionally referred to but never seen. According to some music video segments it is said that his mother 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.
In Beavis and Butt-Head Do America Beavis is reunited with his biological father, who seems to exhibit the same pyromania obsession. He also shares an overt physical likeness. He is said to be a drifter and a one-time roadie for rock band Mötley Crüe. However, they remain oblivious to their father-son relationship and they part ways before they make the connection.
