Beavis and Butthead

MTV cartoon duo

Beavis and Butthead are the teenage protagonists of Mike Judge's animated MTV series (1993–), two dim-witted metalheads who spend their time watching music videos, making crude jokes, and laughing at anything that sounds vaguely sexual.

The names function as shorthand for a pair of idiots: Those two are like Beavis and Butthead—they think everything is hilarious.

Their signature laugh—huh huh huh—became culturally ubiquitous in the 1990s.
