Trivia:

During a 1993 U.S. Senate hearing on violence in television, Sen. Ernest F. Hollings famously referred to Beavis and Butt-Head as "Buffcoat and Beaver." The error was mocked in the episode, "Beavis and Butt-Head: Pool Toys (#4.14)" (1994).

Goofs:

Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): While Beavis enters his Cornholio phase, in at least one instance he claimed Lake Titicaca was in Nicaragua. It's actually on the Bolivia/Peru border.

Quotes:

[Talking about a scat video]
Beavis: They should have a name for this kinda of music.
Butt-head: They already do, Beavis: crap.

Movie Connections:

Referenced in "Step by Step: The Half Monty (#7.15)" (1998)

Huh, Huh, Huh, This show rules! Huh, Huh, Huh!

In a normal point of view Beavis and Butt-Head was one of the most controversial shows that ever aired on T.V. In fact when it premiered, it was the most controversial show on the air. But then again, they made us laugh with their stupidty, and at their idiotic antics! Yes they were sexist, and didn't care for no one but themselves but this show was still funny anyways! I myself a loyal fan of B&B will usually pop in a Videocassete tape of episodes on my VCR and laugh till my sides ache!

This show is cool! Heh, Heh, Heh!
