The remainder of the episodes depict the duo embarking on various schemes or adventures. The staff at Highland High are often at a loss as to how to deal with them, and, in many episodes, Beavis and Butt-Head skip school altogether. Their actions sometimes result in serious consequences (sometimes for themselves but often for others), for which they themselves do not express any remorse due to being too stupid to understand that their actions have caused serious problems. Mike Judge as Beavis, Butt-Head, Coach Buzzcut, Principal McVicker, Mr.Tracy Grandstaff as Daria Morgendorfferīeavis and Butt-Head are so stupid and sublimely self-absorbed that the exterior world has little reality except as an annoyance or distraction.It would be easy to attack B&B as ignorant, vulgar, depraved, repulsive slobs. But that would miss the point, which is that Mike Judge's characters reflect parts of the society that produced them. To study B&B is to learn about a culture of narcissism, alienation, functional illiteracy, instant gratification and television zombiehood.ĭuring its original run, Beavis and Butt-Head was MTV's highest rated show. It was one of the most popular series when it premiered in 1993.
