Beavis

Beavis is a fictional character from the animated television series *Beavis and Butt-Head*, which aired on MTV beginning in 1993.

He is the blond, hyperactive half of the dimwitted teenage duo, known for his nervous laugh and alter ego Cornholio.

The name has become shorthand for a certain type of juvenile male stupidity: Those two are real Beavis and Butt-Head types.
