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'.

Beavis & Butt-head is prob my favorite show of all time though.

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.
― suzy (suzy), Friday, 24 September 2004 05:28 (nineteen years ago) link
I think this sort of embodies the best and worst parts of the show.

but that was PRECISELY what was so GRATE about B&B. that they were EXACTLY like people that americans of a certain age (the GenX demographic, for lack of a better word) went to high-school or college/worked with! shit, there was even one dude from my high school who looked EXACTLY like beavis (and LAUGHED exactly like butthead).
shudder of recognition, and all that.

(* not that other cultures don't have lazy, dumb-ass teenagers or can't relate to same. just that B&B's type of lazy dumb-assedness seemed to be particularly american.)

Well, there weren't any gross diplays of inhumanity....just that he was a bit of a testy, paranoid, easily irritable guy.
I find "Beavis & Butthead" unfunny in the same way I found "All int the Family" unfunny -- sure it's accurate, but that's more depressing than funny.

Uh, sure I do! It isn't that she displays no emotion - it's there but done in a subtle way b/c masked most of the time. I thought it was pretty good at getting the way people are oblivious & think nothing bothers her.
