Beavis y Butt-Head

The duo was named after two real people. While going to college, creator Mike Judge lived next door to a destructive, unsupervised, 12 year-old who called himself "Iron Butt," as he claimed to feel no pain after challenging others to kick him hard in the rear. One of this boy's friends was nicknamed "Butt-head" by Mike Judge and his classmates. There was another boy who lived a few blocks away named Bobby Beavis, though Judge says that he was absolutely nothing like the character aside from his laugh.

The show's disclaimer originally had the following typo: "... the the little weinerheads make us laugh." This ran for more than 2 weeks before the extra "the" was removed.

After the credits roll in the original series finale, the following message appears: "Thank you to all the talented artists, writers and highly intelligent people who worked so hard to make Beavis and Butt-head look so dumb."

When the episode "Comedians" was shown in later showings, the following scenes were removed:

• The scene where Butt-head gets the idea to become a comedian, Beavis says: "Let's go over to Stewart's house and burn something." The edited version has Butt-head interrupting Beavis after "house."
• The scene where Beavis is juggling flaming newspapers (which burns down the Laff Hole) is removed.
• The fire references have been removed from the Vince Neil video. The Belly video was added to fill the time from the edited scenes.
