The Hills

The Stevenson's are and obious direct parody of Hank and Peggy Hill from FOX's King of the Hill. Should'nt this be mentioned? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.221.227.2 (talk) 20:53, 9 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

They can't be parodies considering they existed 5 years before King of the Hill game out. If anything, it's the other way around. Ttc817 (talk) 16:54, 25 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Stewart was a pre-existing character when I joined the show as a writer. I gave him the last name "Stevenson" based on a friend of mine, the architect Josiah Stevenson of Boston, MA.Don (talk) 19:57, 17 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Kyler

Kyler also appears in prison in the Beavis and Butt-head video game, "Virtual Stupidity."

Already added that detail. Check under Killer. I also added the other one-offs that appear in the game like Hank and the one-eyed inmate who both also appear in the prison stage of Virtual Stupidity.

The Virtual Stupidity references deleted. Why? I consider them "canonical" since after all, Mike Judge was involved in the game's production. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 64.237.214.75 (talk) 04:49, 3 February 2007 (UTC).[reply]

Why is Kyler listed as a one off? He appears in several episodes.

Hank

I think the episode has fun with the idea that this guy might really be God, and that God is a metalhead.

Vinnie And Frankie

Not the initial conceptions of B&B. How Judge initially drew them is how we know them as today.

Yes it's on a Russian page but it was taken from English-language sites that have since been taken down. (Not as much bandwidth being used up in Russia I suppose) —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Jombage (talk • contribs) 22:10, 21 December 2006 (UTC).[reply]

"Butt-Head" or "Butt-head"

Should the "H" be capitalized throughout the article? The "H" is capitalized in the title so I find it rather odd that it isn't anywhere else. SpellingD 15:44, 2 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Lower-case 'h' should be used throughout. allixpeeke (talk) 04:34, 15 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Deletion

Should only be done through proper channels, thank you. 192.251.125.85 06:51, 22 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Gina

The girl we see in "Top O' the Mountain" has a different design than the Gina seen elsewhere. Are we sure they're the same?--24.255.171.220 (talk) 20:52, 12 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Another issue I have is with the entry on the Janitor. I feel we should mention Butt-head's fate on the Halloween special. Though it's vague, it's implied he was turned into a zombie.--24.255.171.220 (talk) 21:03, 12 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

You're right about the Gina thing. Fixed. -- Jombage (talk) 11:59, 20 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Big rework

Did lots of edits that hopefully improved article. Please discuss if it's not satisfactory. -- Jombage (talk) 12:03, 20 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Tom Anderson

Although the character of Tom Anderson is mentioned in this article, he's not listed in this article. To put it another way, although the name "Tom Anderson" is mentioned seven times in this article, it never appears in bold next to a bullet point followed by its own descriptive paragraph. Seems like something someone might want to fix. allixpeeke (talk) 04:27, 15 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Principal McVicker

Although the character of Principal McVicker is mentioned in this article, he's not listed in this article. To put it another way, although the name "McVicker" is mentioned ten times in this article, it never appears in bold next to a bullet point followed by its own descriptive paragraph. Seems like something someone might want to fix. allixpeeke (talk) 04:29, 15 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Agree

I'm reading this article as being similar to the List of Blackadder characters article. Because the Blackadder series is similar in character scope to Beavis and Butt-head characters, I would suggest renaming this article from List of minor characters in Beavis and Butt-head to simply List of Beavis and Butt-head characters.

Once this change has been made, the list can be adjusted, and characters added where appropriate.

I will make this recommendation later tonight, or if someone has already done so, add my vote of support.

Christopher, Salem, OR (talk) 11:12, 19 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Done

Jenks24 moved the page today (thank you, Jenks24), allowing it to become a fully comprehensive list of Beavis and Butt-head characters within a single article. I'm not prepared to make the necessary additions at this time, but now the option is there for competent editors to add missing characters.

Daria Morgendorffer

Although the character of Daria Morgendorffer is mentioned in this article, he's not listed in this article. To put it another way, although the name "Daria" is mentioned a number of times in this article, it never appears in bold next to a bullet point followed by a quick sentence and a link to the main Daria Morgendorffer page. Seems like something someone might want to fix. allixpeeke (talk) 04:34, 15 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

David Van Driessen

Although the character of Mr. Van Driessen is mentioned in this article, he's not listed in this article. To put it another way, although the name "Van Driessen" is mentioned multiple times in this article, it never appears in bold next to a bullet point followed by its own descriptive paragraph. Seems like something someone might want to fix. allixpeeke (talk) 04:36, 15 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Stewart Stevenson

Although the character of Stewart is mentioned in this article, he's not listed in this article. To put it another way, although the name "Stewart" is mentioned a variety of times in this article, it never appears in bold next to a bullet point followed by its own descriptive paragraph. Seems like something someone might want to fix. allixpeeke (talk) 22:51, 15 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Todd Ianuzzi

Although the character of Todd is mentioned in this article, he's not listed in this article. To put it another way, although the name "Todd" is mentioned a bunch of times in this article, it never appears in bold next to a bullet point followed by its own descriptive paragraph. Seems like something someone might want to fix. allixpeeke (talk) 22:53, 15 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Citations and sources are needed

Please be sure that all additions to the article are verifiable. Any new items added to the article should have inline citations for each claim made. As a courtesy to editors who may have added claims previously, before Wikipedia citation policy is what it is today, some of the existing unsourced claims have been tagged ^{{{citation needed}}} to allow some time for sources to be added.

List of minor characters in Beavis and Butt-head → List of Beavis and Butt-head characters –
The current article is a list for minor Beavis and Butt-head characters. Several recurring characters are repeatedly mentioned within article, e.g. Principal McVicker, but do not have a place within the list of characters. By renaming the article from "minor characters" to just plain "characters," e.g. List of Blackadder characters, will open the article for inclusion of all Beavis and Butt-head characters, and the article can be subdivided to separate major recurring characters such as Principal McVicker, from minor characters, all listed on the same article. I have attempted the move myself, however, the move was denied because "The page could not be moved: a page of that name already exists, or the name you have chosen is not valid." I need assistance in order to improve the article through the requested name change; thank you for your assistance.

Support no reason for separate character lists for minor and major characters, there are usually few major characters, and they can be organized as a section for major characters on a single list article, if it is so desired. Though we don't need to separate major and minor characters; Just remember to add the major characters -- 70.51.44.60 (talk) 04:38, 21 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Major concerns

I appreciate some of the effort that has gone into maintaining this article over the years. That said, this article in its current state is way too long. In its current state, it's failing WP:LISTN and WP:NOTINDISCRIMINATE. Orange tags have been on this article since 2015 and 2017 regarding the lack of citations and the presence of original research. Right now, this looks more suitable for a Beavis & Butthead Wikia or Fandom page. Normally I'd call for WP:TNT and suggest we start over with characters that do have some notability, or take a similar approach to list of The Simpsons characters. However, I wanted to bring this up for discussion first before I take that route. Cheerio, ⛵ WaltClipper -(talk) 13:31, 10 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
