Beavis and Butt-Head alike humor in Nickelodeon cartoons.

[The Great Saiyaman]

I'm a night owl, going to bed at 4 at night is normal for me. And most of the time, before I go to sleep, I ended up watching Nickelodeon and I noticed something about quite a lot of their cartoon series.

How quite a bit of Beavis and Butt-Head style humor ended up in those cartoon series.

Well, I don't have to tell you who these two are. So how on earth could those two be like B&B?

- Well first of all, Spongebob is a neighbour from hell. He constantly violates Squidward's privacy and on several occasions destroys Squidwards belongings and several times his entire house. There's the episode where Spongebob and Patrick were playing golf and the ball went into Squidward's house, and they played on, damaging the furniture and chopping holes in the wall.
- Related to that, Spongebob, fails to realize that Squidward GENUINELY does not like him. There is a particular episode in which Spongebob and Patrick got their hands on flutes and start to add cartoon like noises to every single thing Squidward did, driving him insane. And the both of them laughing, failing to see how distressed Squidward is getting with their "funny" prank.
- If we draw parallels between B&B and Spongebob and Patrick, then Spongebob is Beavis and Patrick is Butt-Head. And much like Butt-Head, Patrick is not beyond throwing Spongebob under the bus. He steals from Spongebob, eats the last remaining crabby patty which was meant for being entered into a food competition, seconds before it due to be judged, doing so with a very satisfied grin.
- AND...


But not just with Spongebob...

Fanboy and Chum-chum is a series about two boys wearing superhero costumes, (They're never seen without them.) going through adventures in a town where nothing ever happens.
- Much like B&B, they intentionally sabotage attempts of their schoolmates to make a career. One of those schoolmates is an aspiring wizard, but finds every attempt he makes into getting into wizard school thwarted by FB&CC.
- When drawn Parallels between B&B and FB&CC, Chum-chum is Beavis and Fanboy is Butt-Head. Again with Fanboy's ease with how quickly he throws Chum-chum under the bus. But also by being the instigator of their many acts of vandalism.

- Having mentioned that: the supermarket is most often the target of the two's antics, and they always walk away from the carnage cackling.


And yeah, B&B style humor also appeared in a TMNT related series.

And Harold isn't the only one who got into trouble with encountering the Turtles, ask Bullhop or Señor Huesos, who saw their business trashed by four teens who refuse to take responsibility for their actions.

The most disturbing about all of this isn't so much the fact that there's B&B kind of humor in Kids' shows, but that they chose to take it from the earliest B&B series. Those eps where B&B were at their absolute WORST.

Not too hard to see this happening in a Rise or Spongebob episode.


Again something I can see happening in either a Spongebob or a Rise episode, with April taking Daria's role here.
