Beavis and Butt-Head

★ 7.1 1993 · 1990s 8 seasons MTV

Synopsis

Trivia about Beavis and Butt-Head

An album inspired by the series, The Beavis and Butt-Head Experience, was released on Geffen Records.

He made several shorts, including Frog Baseball, which marked the first appearances of the characters.

The voice of Beavis was based on a kid in his high school calculus class, who would always snicker in a distinct way at their attractive female teacher.

He was also inspired by the work of John Kricfalusi, and fellow Texas animator Wes Archer and his film Jack Mack and Rad Boy Go!

This aspect of the show was also inspired by Peanuts, where the characters also seem to inhabit a liminal world without parents.

Originally it is not mentioned in which state they live, and Mike Judge imagined them living in a small town in New Mexico.
