Mrs. Stevenson

Dear Lord, please help with my Stewart. I'm afraid Beavis and Butt-Head are a bad influence.

—Mrs. Stevenson praying, to God

"Oh dear!"
— Mrs. Stevenson

Mrs. Stevenson is a recurring character in Beavis and Butt-Head. She is Stewart's mother who seems to coddle her son to the point where he seems rather childish and immature for his age. She is known for exclaiming "Oh dear!" whenever her son or Beavis and Butt-Head get into trouble. In "Stewart's House", she is voiced by Mike Judge and has a Southern accent. For the rest of the series, she is voiced by Tracy Grandstaff, voice of Daria, and possesses a thick Midwestern accent.

Physical appearance[]

She is a middle-aged woman with short, curly blonde hair and pronounced dimples. Her usual attire is a long sleeved, light pink shirt with a white collar and cuffs, along with a long blue skirt and black high heels. In "Stewart's House" and "The Great Cornholio", she sports a long sleeved, hot pink leotard and black leggings with lime green leg warmers and a matching headband. In Beavis and Butt-Head Do the Universe, she has ear piercings (which is also shared with her "Smart" alien counterpart).

Personality[]

Mrs. Stevenson is a kind and loving mother towards Stewart. She is often depicted as rather clueless but amicable, being one of the few characters to not mind Beavis and Butt-Head; as shown when she enlists the duo's help when Stewart disappears ("Stewart is Missing"), and trusts them to take his homework to school for him when he is sick ("The Great Cornholio"). She believes that the boys are good friends of her son, often being oblivious to their antics and their negative influence on him. However, there are exceptions that seem to imply she does know what terrible friends the duo are to Stewart, but still allows them to hang out with him for some reason, such as "It's a Miserable Life" and "T.V. Violence", wherein she explicitly expresses worry towards the duo's influence and even kicks them out of her home in the latter episode.

Trivia[]

She is one of the few characters to never appear in Beavis and Butt-Head Do America. She does, however, appear in Beavis and Butt-Head Do the Universe.
In "Stewart Moves Away", she and her husband are shown to sleep in separate beds, implying tension in their relationship. This is further evidenced and very likely worsened by the discovery of her husband's pornographic magazine collection in the same episode, along with the implication that he is impotent in "Sperm Bank", suggesting that he is not sexually attracted to her, despite them conceiving Stewart. Their relationship likely soured over time.
In "Leave it to Beavis", (while depicted as the character Mrs. Cleaver), she has sex with Todd in her kitchen. In issue 24 of the comics, he can be seen hiding outside her window. Given the dubious nature of the comics' true canon, this of course could mean nothing.
