Page "Beavis" Paragraph 6

In spite of his overt idiocy, Beavis possesses a number of character strengths.

He can be inadvertently witty and, when discussing subjects that neither he nor Butt-head understand, he is more likely to guess the actual mechanisms at work.

Also, on the rare occasion that a female exhibits interest in one of the duo, it is usually Beavis ( as exemplified in the episodes: Vidiots, Another Friday Night, Teen Talk, Letters to Santa Butt-head in Christmas Special ) who gets the attention ; this could be because of Beavis ’ somewhat childlike temperament, which is less off-putting than Butt-head ’ s crasser, more blatantly sexual approaches.

For example, when the two encounter members of the opposite sex, Butt-head will typically lead off with a smug opening line such as “ Hey, baby ”, which invariably flops ; Beavis, on the other hand, will usually approach the woman with a less obvious “ Hi !” or “ Hey, how ’ s it going ?” Easily influenced by Butt-head, however, Beavis will often imitate his buddy's cruder pickup lines.

Beavis has also shown instances of insight on such topics as the true meaning of Christmas, or in his analysis of a video by Korn.

However, in both instances Beavis seems to be either in a trance or possessed, and shortly afterward he displays no recollection of what he just said.
