Beavis is a fictional character. He is one of the young teenaged protagonists on the MTV animated series Beavis and Butt-Head. He is voiced by the show’s creator, Mike Judge.
Beavis has blond hair which he wears in an oversized pompadour style, a pronounced underbite, and an obsessive stare. He is nearly always seen in profile, rather than looking directly at the camera. He is usually seen wearing a Metallica T-shirt, though in merchandising appearances his shirt displays the slogan "Death Rock" to avoid licensing issues. In the episode "Give Blood", he wears a Slayer shirt, while in the Christmas special "It's a Miserable Life" Beavis is seen wearing a Winger shirt during the alternate reality section of the episode.
He is slightly shorter than his best friend Butt-Head, although he appears to be the same height when viewed at a distance because of his hairstyle. Beavis works as a fry cook at the (fictional) fast food restaurant Burger World and once defiantly revealed that he is a fan of the rock band Bon Jovi to Butt-Head, who dislikes the band and its leader Jon Bon Jovi.
Beavis' name was inspired by a friend of Judge's from his college days named Bobby Beavis.
Dan Tobin of The Boston Phoenix described Beavis as "the sidekick and follower" who developed into "more of a loose cannon".
