By miles and miles, one of the funniest ever moments on TV was when they were going on the military camp trip and one of them asks the psycho bulging eye teacher "will we have a buddy system", and he goes "I had a buddy ONCE, then I got home and he'd MARRIED MY MOTHER!!!!!!" totally fucking freaking. It was classic.

Also I think everyone who's harping on Daria's being humorless has not watched enough of the show: the whole premise was that Daria wandered around observing the hilarious antics of everyone else and dropping in a bon mot every sixth minute or so. In the end it was quite possibly more about Quinn than Daria.

I suspect a real world Claire Defoe, if only to evade the child-molesting charges... unless I'm sent back in time or something...
Actually, there IS a real-world Clair. She's married to a friend of mine, sadly (and typically) ...

i love both but my old roomamte had a song featured on daria so if forced to choose i'd give her her the edge.
more seriously (or as serious as you can be with B&B) one is a sketch show and one is a sitcom - can you compare 'em?

OTM.
i don't think any show has nailed down the wasteland that is suburban america better than 'beavis and butthead'.

Thats because John Kricfalusi was silly enough to sell his rights to Nickolodeon and they stole the show out from under him after the first series and sent him on his way. The more obviously "hey hey we're being ZANY! stuff was the Nick writers not having an effing clue.
PS Daria is cool. But I would say that wouldnt I? ;)

Choice quotes (NB: I do not necessarily stand by anything I wrote five years ago):
"While Beavis and Butt-Head certainly weren't popular boys, they weren't quite intelligent enough to treat their lifestyle as a distinct refutation of the dominant boy culture. In fact, many of their attitudes, such as their piggish sexual fantasies about women, seem to be directly in line with that culture. In contrast, the protagonists of Daria and Ghost World go to extremes to separate themselves from the girls around them, and thus hold themselves up as superior."
"As for me, while I laugh at Daria, the show can sometimes draw its characters a little too broadly, its plots a bit too contrived for my taste. Ghost World, on the other hand, I immediately fell in love with, after first browsing through it in a London bookstore."

I've basically looked like a variation on this since I was 16. My friend Nellie served as the Daria in my school equation.

I think this sort of embodies the best and worst parts of the show.
