Beavis and Butt-head started life as an animated short
created by Judge for the Spike and Mike Sick and Twisted
Festival of Animation. This short, named "Frog Baseball"
was aired on MTV's independent animation showcase Liquid
Television, which was presumably the catalyst for MTV
becoming interested in pursuing a television series featuring
the characters. An episode of the show typically consists
of Beavis and Butt-head making juvenile commentary while
watching music videos. Between the videos, stories are
advanced involving the duo's adventures in troublemaking
both at home and at school. Targets for their carnal humour
include authority, high school life and even themselves.
Beavis and Butt-head's characteristic features are that
they are obsessed with sex and somewhat mentally challenged.
