Beavis and Butt-Head unknowingly share a campfire with their long lost fathers.
The biological fathers of Beavis and Butt-Head (a.k.a. the Mötley Crüe Roadies) are minor characters featured in Beavis and Butt-Head Do America. They are two drifters who share similar traits and characteristics as their dim-witted sons.
Mr. Beavis was voiced by Tony Darling, while Butt-Head's father was voiced by David Letterman under the alias of "Earl Hoffert".
Physical appearances[]
The roadies are two fat, dirty, middle-aged men. Both have very ugly facial features. Mr. Beavis is blond with a receding hairline and wears a ratty white t-shirt, blue jeans and converse sneakers. He also has a unibrow, no bottom teeth, and a habit of biting his lip. Butt-Head's father is taller, fatter and balding with sparse, thin black hair kept in a small ponytail. He wears a dark grey t-shirt, dark jeans with a black belt and brown boots. Like his son, he has an extreme overbite with exposed gums.
Personalities[]
Much like their sons, the two roadies are shown to be unintelligent slackers with a love for boobs, farts and fire, and live a life without responsibilities, thus having little care for the consequences of their actions. The two roadies also appear to be inseparable, like their sons, despite the physical abuse Butt-Head's father inflicts on Mr. Beavis as the two have been traveling together for more than 15 years. Mr. Beavis also shares his son's fixation with fire, as well as the tendency to stare blankly and shout "Fire! Fire!" when around it.
History[]
Past[]
During their youth, they served as the roadies of the famed heavy metal band Mötley Crüe, but eventually retired and became lone drifters that traveled across America on their motorbikes.
Fifteen years prior to Do America, they stopped in the small town of Highland, where they had the pleasure of meeting two sluts that they managed to hook up with for a one-night stand, one of whom was Shirley Beavis (though Butt-Head's father claims to have done both). The next day, the two left the women and continued their drifting, not realizing that they were pregnant with their future children, Beavis and Butt-Head.
Beavis and Butt-Head Do America[]
Fifteen years later, Beavis and Butt-Head would finally meet their fathers while traveling through the desert on their way to Washington. The group quickly bonded over a campfire without realizing their relation to one another, and even had fun blowing the campfire up with an atomic fart from Butt-Head's father. However, much like fifteen years ago, the two ex-roadies left their sons behind in the desert the following day and continued their drifting lifestyle, never knowing that Beavis and Butt-Head were their sons. Beavis and Butt-Head still don't know that these two are their fathers.
Their whereabouts are currently unknown.
Trivia[]
- David Letterman, the voice of Butt-Head's father, previously appeared as himself in "Late Night with Butt-Head".
- In the episode "Be All You Can Be," Butt-Head mentions that Beavis' father used to be in the navy, despite the fact that the two had never met them.
- It is likely that Beavis' mother, Shirley, told him this, although it is unknown how much truth there is to the statement.
- A character similar to Butt-Head's father would appear in the duo's fantasy in "P.T.A." as their idea of a "cool" teacher.
- Butt-Head's father claims that he was the only one who scored with both Shirley Beavis and Butt-Head's mother, and interestingly enough, the Season 2 episode "Scientific Stuff" has a statement implying that the two share the same father. At some point in the film ATF Agent Bork finds that both of the men are genetic matches for fathers, meaning that they are in no way related. Butt-Head's father most likely scorned Mr. Beavis for the fun of it, and "Scientific Stuff" was produced long before Do America.
- From what is shown in Do America, the two roadies are shown to be wanted by the FBI, implying a history of crime.
- According to Beavis in Beavis and Butt-Head Do the Universe, Butt-Head's mother claims that Butt-Head's father died of syphilis.
