His top gums are often exposed and he speaks with a nasally deep voice and a slight lisp, repeatedly punctuating his speech with his trademark chuckle ("Uh huh huh huh") and mostly stammers before speaking ("Uhhh" or "Ehhhh"). Beavis, on the other hand, always has some kind of reaction, although his actions predictably end with bad results.īutt-Head has a severe overbite, wears dental braces, and has brown hair and squinted eyes.

He never seems to react to things unless they catch his attention, in which case he describes them as 'cool'. Dan Tobin of The Boston Phoenix described Butt-head as "ringleader, the devious visionary." īutt-Head seems to be the lazier and crueler of the two. Regardless, as the 'leader', he is usually confident in everything he says and does – no matter how ridiculous or frivolous it is. He is calmer, cockier and slightly older, more intelligent, and more self-aware than Beavis, but is oblivious to subtleties, is semi-literate and still significantly more dimwitted than the other characters in the show. Of the title characters, Butt-Head appears to be the leader of the two. Judge got the name Butt-Head from his university days, when he knew a couple of other students who had the nicknames 'Iron Butt' and 'Butt-Head'. He is voiced by the show's creator, Mike Judge. Butt-Head is a fictional character and one of the two protagonists from the MTV/ Paramount+ animated series Beavis and Butt-Head.
