Despite his passive behavior, Beavis possesses a number of positive traits and character strengths. He is generally nicer and more optimistic than Butt-Head and treats Stewart , a nerdy boy who looks up to the duo, better than he does.
He can be extremely witty and when discussing a topic with Butt-Head that neither of them know about or understand, Beavis is more likely to guess the mechanisms at work.
Also, in some rare cases, Beavis is prone to bouts of intelligent insight about certain topics. For example, after making himself dizzy, Beavis analyzed a Korn video with much detail and in another episode he discussed the true meaning of Christmas. This may be due to Beavis' childlike temperament, behavior and his approaches to females "Hey, how's it going? Beavis also appears to be incredibly naive for his age, though it is unknown if he is naive or just extremely idiotic. It may be a combination of the two.
During Pregnant Pause , Beavis fears that he is pregnant but he points out that only girls could fall pregnant, though for some reason he still buys or steals a pregnancy test. Also, during one music video segment, Beavis does not understand the concept of the phrase "where the sun doesn't shine" and he questions Butt-Head about it.
While the Butt-Head is amused by Beavis' naivety, the latter appears to be truly confused about the phrase and he uses bowel movements to try and understand it. Along with Butt-Head, his treatment of animals vary from time to time. Smaller things like insects, bugs, and frogs often see their wrath, be it the deep fryers at work or at the end of a baseball bat, while animals vary from time to time; though it may range from unusual cruelty Tom Anderson 's poodle seeing a washer and dryer, painting his cat's butt , they are known to be attentive and in the least, caring of certain animals seen asking for dead animals to feed their snakes, not harming their pet store bought pets, doing their best to attend to a baby bird, feeding and not killing a pregnant rat , and in instances of cruelty, it never escalates to death and prolonged, malicious torture, just amounts of ignorant, reversible actions.
Beavis has said that he has voices in his head that tell him to do violent things but he has learned not to do the things it tells him to do Most Wanted. In Holy Cornholio , it is shown Beavis has or developed a bit of doubt towards Butt-Head, being reluctant to have him help when he got a screw stuck in his hand. Before the large fire controversy, Beavis had shown signs of being a closet pyromaniac with a fascination for fire.
He would often chant, "Fire! Liar, liar, pants on-- Whoa! Even after the controversy, Mike Judge continued to insert slight gags about Beavis' pyromania.
After consuming a large amount of sugar, caffeine or, as shown in Beavis and Butt-Head Do America , medication pills, Beavis undergoes a radical personality change. He would pull his T-shirt over his head and begin to yell and scream incomprehensible nonsense. This alter ego is named "Cornholio", a character whom was conceived when Mike Judge had a thought of Beavis with his shirt over his head.
Cornholio is a normally dormant personality, but when he surfaces, he is famous for shouting, "I am Cornholio! I need TP for my bunghole! Once Cornholio disappears, Beavis has no recollection as to what had happened after he consumed sugar. Cornholio appears to supply characters with much entertainment as shown in Buttniks , where the boys go to a Beatnik club and Beavis' alter ego emerges.
Though Butt-Head was rather unsuccessful in impressing the club members, many of them enjoyed Cornholio's performance and they even supplied Beavis with caffeine to keep Cornholio around. Despite being the friend of Butt-head, Beavis and Butt-head have an extremely jaded, violent, and almost sadistic relationship with one another that usually ends in bizarre situations for both of them.
Butt-Head often abuses Beavis, usually by slapping him, but there has been a few situations where he has gone further, such as kicking him in the nads and smashing him on the head with a frying pan Work Is Death.
Usually, Beavis will not react other than the odd, "Shut up, Butt-Head! On a few occasions, Beavis has thrown the first punch such as when he smashed Butt-Head over the head with a paddle, though the latter had goaded him into doing so Canoe.
On the other hand, Butt-Head will usually understand when Beavis is approaching his limit and will usually back off. The two do not appear to 'care' about each other when one of them is in a life-threatening situation. For example, whenever Beavis is severely damaged or hurt by something that the duo had done, Butt-Head will usually only stand by and laugh at him.
In the episode Blood Pressure , Beavis gets his arm trapped in a blood testing machine and Butt-Head takes his time helping him since he was unable to read the "Emergency release" button on the machine. This antagonistic feeling appears to be mutual. In Water Safety , Butt-Head nearly drowns while trying to swim in gym class and Beavis hardly does anything to rescue him from his near-death experience, even resisting to go into the water because "it's too cold.
This annoys Butt-Head and even nearly caused him to die, however Beavis continued to mimic him. This was the case with a lot of the rock songs. Mike Judge also mentioned he felt a vibe with teenagers that rap music was starting to sneak in and would become cool among kids so much that he occasionally would depict Beavis as a lover of rap music too.
After claims that a five-year-old kid in Ohio burned his family's house down, killing his 2-year-old sister, was influenced by Beavis's obsession with fire, any and all references to fire was removed from the airwaves. Certain episodes or music videos were no longer aired, all references to Beavis lighting a cigarette were removed, many episodes were edited and one instance where Barney the dinosaur's front paws caught on fire pulling cookies out of an oven was changed to a card saying "Technical Difficulty" over that scene.
During a test screening of the Frog Baseball pilot, one teenager liked it so much that he actually wanted to buy a copy of the pilot. The logo for Burger World, the fast food establishment at which Beavis and Butt-Head are employed, is just the McDonalds "golden arch" logo upside down. This success also helped generate some more sales to the band's then-current album "La Sexorcisto: Devil Music Volume One", which was released roughly a whole year before the show aired.
The show stopped airing in late , although Mike Judge has stated that he wanted to end it even earlier, since he was tired of doing the show. The and seasons reused old music videos from previous episodes, rather than featuring new video critiques from the duo, presumably due to Judge's waning interest in the program.
While the s reboot is going to age progress the characters, the reboot instead opted for a floating timeline, placing the duo as contemporary teenagers in This means in that version they theoretically would have been born sometime during the original run.
The set was made up of 4 VHS tape sets previously released in the U. K and Australia. However, the set was cancelled at the last second at the demand of Judge himself as it was created without his knowledge or consent. Judge did not want this set to be released because it was made up of episodes he previously rejected for home media, most notably the entire first season and a majority of the second as Judge actively disliked early episodes. Many copies were mistakingly put onto store shelves but recalled immediately.

As soon as he leaves, they fight over the paint thinner, and after sniffing themselves into a stupor, give the house a paint job that can only be described as surreal. Its logic is its laughs.
