Beavis and Butt-head

Spinoffs

A spinoff show based on their maligned classmate Daria Morgendorffer, Daria, was also created. Mike Judge was not credited as a producer of this series, and said he was not involved with it at all except to give permission for the use of the character. The Daria character had been created for Beavis and Butt-head by Glenn Eichler, who became a producer for Daria. In the first episode of Daria, Daria and her family move from Beavis and Butt-head's hometown of Highland to Lawndale; consequently, none of the other characters from Beavis and Butt-head ever appear on Daria other than Daria herself.

King of the Hill is somewhat of a spinoff created by Mike Judge and at least owes its start to the success of Beavis and Butt-Head. Lending credence to its status as a spinoff the main character, Hank Hill, looks and sounds just like the Mr. Anderson character that Beavis and Butt-head tormented except for a small difference in hair, age, and participation in World War II. Indeed, the show was preceded by rumors, before Beavis and Butt-head stopped airing, that Judge was going to do a spin-off show about Mr. Anderson.

On the Adult Swim sketch show Robot Chicken, a featured parody of the Cartoon Network animated series Teen Titans has Beavis and Butt-head joining the team. Their usual attitude lands them and the team in trouble. They are chauvinistic to Starfire and insult Raven's seemingly gothic nature. They also sing the theme song from the Batman television series when Robin is around. Mike Judge did not voice the duo in this parody.

On the MTV Video Music Awards on August 28th, 2005, They appeared in a couple of Viewers Choice award skits, saying to "Vote to put Beavis and Butt-head back on MTV!" This may be a sign that the show is coming back soon, but was more than likely a promotional appearance for the November 8th, 2005 retail release of "The Best of Beavis and Butt-head Volume One: The Mike Judge Collection".
