You cannot have a "best of" list without the alter ego. Beavis, after consuming too much sugar (specifically, the residue in a "Slinky" box of candy), transforms into The Great Cornholio.
He pulls his T-shirt over his head, hunches over, and speaks in a guttural growl: "I am the Great Cornholio! I need TP for my bunghole!"
The Essential Cornholio Episodes:
In the early 1990s, MTV changed the landscape of animation and comedy forever with two teenage delinquents who possessed a shared IQ barely in the double digits. Created by Mike Judge, Beavis and Butt-Head was not just a cartoon; it was a cultural phenomenon that satirized the slacker generation, the American education system, and the very nature of teenage boredom.
