T.P. For Your Earholes: A Beavis and Butt-Head Podcast

The entire “Beavis and Butt-head” catalog is not available anywhere – well, legally at least. And that’s sad. In this episode, we discuss why we need the complete series, or at least as complete as can be made, to be available to buy. And we directly appeal to series creator Mike Judge for his influence to make it happen. Join the conversation! Visit tpforyourearholes.com to contact us. Find us on...

The Beavis and Butt-head music video reactions were a staple of the show, especially in its early run. However, the Highland duo didn’t have the chance to react to a ton of videos that are close to our hearts, especially videos from the 1998-2010 era. We explore which videos we would have loved to have seen Beavis and Butt-head react to, with a focus mostly on that era but with a couple nods to so...

Everything from “Sit your ass down, Lars!” to “Check out the nads on that pig!” has come from one area of Beavis and Butt-head – the music video reactions. We each compiled a list of our 10 favorites (and then kept them secret from each other until the recording of this episode) and try to figure out what makes a reaction timeless, memorable and quotable. Oh, and there’s some stuff about falling i...

Many of us have milestones we hit in our early adulthood: career, stability, residence, love. Did Beavis or Butt-head achieve any of those? Your hosts Char and Patrick explore how the duo might have lived during the only span of time that the show has avoided. We will also spend more time than necessary trying to answer maybe the most important question we can ask: Did Beavis and Butt-head ever sc...

Let’s be honest – most of the time, we’re laughing AT Beavis and Butt-head for the situations in which they find themselves. However, sometimes an episode brings out something in us (Empathy? Pity? Fear?) where we actually end up feeling bad for the boys. From failed love to painful situations to existential crises, Beavis and Butt-head have had their fair share of such experiences. We break down...

Beavis isn’t always an idiot, and Butt-head isn’t always a sociopath. Sometimes, we get to catch them doing good things. Usually by accident, but occasionally on purpose, the dumbass duo has given us some memorable moments when they were actually contributing to humanity! We break down our favorite such moments, including Beavis and Butt-head showing care for animals, helping someone through their...

It’s not opinion, it’s fact: The early episodes of Beavis and Butt-head are awful. We have the data to prove it… and the chance to dive deep and explore why the first three seasons of this show do not stand the test of time. From the expectations of animation (sadly, we bring up “My Pet Monster”) to the challenge of teaching a whole staff of writers and animators your vision (and, well, figuring o...

When misfits Beavis and Butt-head were first introduced to the world – first via Frog Baseball as part of the “Extra Sick and Twisted” compilation, later by the show’s premier on “Liquid Television” and then the first bits of the standalone series – critics did NOT know what to make of them. Some got it right; some were way, way off. With 30-plus years of retrospect, we take a look at those early...

Some people come into our lives forever; others are there for just a few minutes. This episode is a tribute to the latter – people who only appeared once in the world of Beavis and Butt-head. From Rabid Ron to Gus Baker to (several) characters who don’t even get a name, we dive into our favorite folks who brightened Beavis and Butt-head’s world for a moment and then disappeared forever. Big thanks...

The world of Beavis and Butt-head stretches well beyond the two eponymous main characters. Who else in Highland makes it the special place we know and love? This episode is dedicated to them – some of our favorite side characters in the show. Daria, Buzzcut, Tom Anderson… and more! We’ll start the list of people who round out Highland, and we’ll count on you to help us finish it! (And we’ll expose...

Despite his limited screen time, Beavis’ alter ego Cornholio has become a mainstay in not only Beavis and Butt-head but in pop culture in general. In this episode, we explore the origins of Cornholio, walk through why this character rose to such a level of prominence, and try to decipher why Cornholio’s influence continues to this day.

What are the little moments that never fail to make you laugh? Well, in Beavis and Butt-head, there are literally hundreds of such moments from which to choose. Hosts Charlynn and Patrick try to narrow it down to their top 10 such moments, including Beavis’ reaction to glasses, the pair trying to dance to “It’s so Cold in the D,” and the space-age technology that can measure arousal. What little m...

The Beavis and Butt-head franchise has had two reboots – one in 2011, the other currently in place that started in 2022. The reboots are NOT the same as the original. Hosts Charlynn and Patrick walk through five specific ways the reboots changed the show formula for Beavis and Butt-head episodes. We’ll get into whether those changes are welcome… or if they’re an affront to the show’s legacy. Join...

Beavis and Butt-head were often dismissed as nothing but metalheads. However, through the show’s use of music video commentary, viewers of the show quickly realize that stereotype is far from the truth. How did the show use music videos to subvert expectations – and to co-create an entirely new genre of entertainment, the reaction video? And are Beavis and Butt-head actually smart? Join the conver...

As two adolescents in the 1990s, hosts Charlynn and Patrick came to Beavis and Butt-head organically, but in quite different ways. In one family, the show was banned; in the other, the presence of a younger sibling threatened at-home watching opportunities. Yet, through the show’s endearing qualities, Beavis and Butt-head became a show that found a special place in our lives. It’s the first episod...

One of the most predictable outcomes of early Beavis and Butt-head episodes was how the show became the target of controversy. So why did other controversies fall by the wayside, and why did the death of a 2-year-old girl in a fire in Ohio – a fire blamed on the show’s influence on children – prompt such backlash? We dig DEEP into this controversy, as well as others that preceded it, and try to fi...
