[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

[edit] What other bands they would have liked

If Beavis and Butthead were still around, I reckon they would show deep respect for bands such as System of a Down, Audioslave, Velvet Revolver, and maybe even the Strokes. - Ndrly 11:48, 6 January 2007 (UTC)

Haha. Unfortunately, they're not, so you asking this on this talk page is pointless and has nothing to do with creating an encyclopedia as Wikipedia is not a discussion forum. --HisSpaceResearch 11:59, 18 January 2007 (UTC)

I can tell you a few they certainly WOULDN'T like; Dashboard Confessional, Taking Back Sunday, Fall Out Boy or other emo/emoish band (whom they would most likely label as "wuss music").

[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 SponeBob frees Bikini Bottom through the sound of Rock Music they are shown headbangig! —The preceding unsigned comment was 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)

[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.
