[edit] "Butt-Head" or "Butt-head"

I've always assumed that you capitalized the H, but it varies dramatically in the article itself. Should it, or should it not? SpellingD 15:52, 2 January 2007 (UTC)

• I believe "Butt-head" was agreed upon sometime last year. --Goldrushcavi 23:07, 21 January 2007 (UTC)
• It is spelled "Butt-Head" on the DVD, as well as MTV.com http://www.mtv.com/onair/beavisandbutthead/ and IMBd http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0105950/ In addition, in the English language hyphenated names are always capitalized. Therefore, the correct spelling is "Butt-Head." 69.248.171.179 03:58, 19 February 2007 (UTC)cavedude

Head is his last name so it should be capitalized. He has a cousin named Richard Head.

[edit] Arthur (kid's TV) parody

There is an episode of the Arthur TV series that parodies B&B, in the form of a comic book called Peabrain and Nuthead. Should this be added to the References in pop culture section? The episode is called "Buster and the Daredevils". Here's a link: http://www.angelfire.com/ma2/ecdc/20302.htm

[edit] Original research

There's a lot of analysis here that could very well be original research.--HisSpaceResearch 11:59, 18 January 2007 (UTC)

Although this show was popular at one time, it is now "low important." and should be reduced to what is necessary. I dont think it should require such a long article on an inconsequential subject. This should be reduced dramatically. Wyatt 22:04, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] SpongeBob Squarepants Movie

B&B are appearing as fish at the end of the movie: when SpongeBob frees Bikini Bottom through the sound of Rock Music they are shown headbangig! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.56.6.74 (talk • contribs)

[edit] Butt-head's character origin

The "Iron-butt" story is well-known but never I've heard the story about this supposed MIT professor. Are these contradicting stories or is it the same guy? -- Jombage 08:37, 4 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Self-contradictory tag

Someone put the tag up but didn't explain why on the talk page... any help here? --Goldrushcavi 17:33, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

Look up -- Jombage 11:13, 11 February 2007 (UTC)

Deleted the info as it's fancruft anyway. --Goldrushcavi 22:03, 12 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Breaking the Law

the fact that they sang the song itself numerous times throughout the series

Really that numerous? In which episodes, for example? I'm ashamed of my poor knowledge of B&BH. Anothername 19:02, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

I didn't add that sentence but I think most (or all) of the occurrences were in really early episodes, like when they used a chainsaw to decapitate a grasshopper and took off the top of Butt-Head's finger. That's all I can remember off the top of my head but I think there were more. --TM 19:34, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

They also sang it many times during "Washing The Dog." The title itself is a reference to the song. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.3.205.7 (talk • contribs)

[edit] Risque Comment

In the other appearances section it says that a risque comment about starfires skin pigment. What was this comment if you tell me or link it that would be great

[edit] Theme Song

Who did the theme song, and can this information be added to the article? Thanks.

Allixpeeke 07:03, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

Or, really, any information about the theme song at all? Who did it, how long is it in its full length, et cetera. Allixpeeke 19:47, 25 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Ok now people...

There is a huge division across B&B Wikipedia pages; half of them say that his name is Butt-Head, others say Butt-head. I've recently been changing them to the latter, but after looking at the back of my "The Mike Judge Collection" case, it appears it's meant to be Butt-Head. Unless we need to create a whole WikiProject over this, which is going a bit far, we should decide now what it's supposed to be. ≈ The Haunted Angel 21:28, 5 April 2007 (UTC)

Head is his last name so it should be capitalized. He has a cousin named Richard Head.

[edit] Burger World Reference

Some think that Burger World is a tribute to Texas-based Whataburger. The fact that this is not mentioned makes the article incomplete.

I think it's a trtibute to McDonalds because the Burger World Logo looks like the McDonalds "M" turned upside-down. 217.233.82.226 00:46, 25 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Name of Music Video?

I remember a music video that was on the show but was removed after the fire nonsense. The beginning had a small fire in the corner, and lots of crazy stuff including the lead singer-lady on top of a moving bus. Could someone please tell me the name of this song or the name of the band? Thanks

I just found the video, it is by the Plasmatics and is called "Damned." Lots of fire and explosions, I can see why it was taken off the air.

[edit] Name of music video

I need help with finding the name of the video and some of the artists are wearing clown makeup, the music has hard heavy metal with smooth chorus. I know it is not ICP. I think part of the chorus has the word "slander" in it. Kingsofa 01:36, 30 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Idea: Get the Beavis and Butthead comics and pay attention to the Letters to the Editor

Hey, guys, you should get the Beavis and Butthead comics (try eBay) AND then add info about the characters in the comics. Also check the letters to the editor for developmental information - e.g. what homages are made, and why. WhisperToMe (talk) 04:19, 17 January 2008 (UTC)
