List of Minor Characters in Beavis and Butt-head - Local Business Figures

Local Business Figures

  • Burger World Manager: The duo's unnamed manager at Burger World, who they refer to as "that manager dude." Like the boys' other authority figures, he often gets frustrated with their idiocy, with his attempts at instilling discipline proving futile. In Work Is Death, he ends up getting seriously injured by their irresponsibility in their futile attempt to get worker's compensation. In Bathroom Break, when Beavis and Butt-head don't come out of the bathroom, he goes outside to urinate in the parking lot, where he is caught by the police and charged with public urination and indecent exposure. This leads him to run from the cops, who follow close behind. It is unknown if he is caught and arrested. Despite his frustrations, he seems to be one of the few adults who tolerates Beavis and Butt-head, considering the fact that they have yet to be fired for their many antics. Voiced by Mike Judge.
  • Maxi-Mart Owner: This working stiff wears a middle-part hairstyle and he is habitually annoyed by Beavis and Butt-head. The duo often loiter in and around his convenience store while trying to pick up chicks. He occasionally exacts a small measure of revenge. He sells Butt-head day-old insect-infested nachos in Beavis and Butt-head vs. the Vending Machine, and used forks and stale donuts (picked out of the trash can) in Party. One such attempt backfires when he calls the police to report a robbery in progress when Butt-head helps himself to working the cash register (Another Friday Night). When the police arrive they mistake him for an armed culprit, and he is beaten before being arrested. Voiced by Rottilio Michieli.
  • Clark Cobb: A parody of Christian Televangelists and voiced to sound exactly like H. Ross Perot. The owner of Cobb's Family Hardware is a card-carrying member of the Christian Businessmen's Association. He has a sock puppet named Socko, which he uses to try to teach evangelical lessons. When B&B get conned by Daria into pledging a large amount of money for a CBA-sponsored walk-a-thon, Clark forces the guys to spend a very long time walking off their debt (Walk-a-Thon). He appeared in four issues of the spinoff comic, in two cases having charitable events (one done for press attention) turn destructive after Beavis and Butt-head got involved. A character of identical appearance is shown standing with a group of people in the mall when Japanese exchange student Hiro hocks a loogie that covers the entire group, then he retracts it (Foreign Exchange). In Inventors the boys stop by his house in an attempt to get him to buy their new "invention", the Butt Scratcher 2000, which in reality is nothing more than a wire coathanger that Butt-head has bent into a hook. He tells them, "Boys, that's just a wire hanger. I know it, you know it and the Lord knows it." Cobb features prominently in Whorehouse, when he organizes a group of Christian activists to protest outside an abortion clinic. He repeatedly chants "Whores! Fornicators!" through his megaphone. B&B interpret this to mean that the establishment is in fact a brothel, and they join the protest in hopes of "scoring". Both they and Cobb are shocked with a taser by a security guard for crossing boundaries in front of the clinic. Voiced by Mike Judge.
  • Bill: A heavy-set old man who runs the bar at the American Legion hall that Tom Anderson frequents. Both of them were in the military. Although he never meets Beavis and Butt-head, he unwittingly contributes to their antics. When Bill asks Anderson to watch the bar for a few hours (Yard Sale), Anderson puts Beavis and Butt-head in charge of his yard sale. While Anderson is gone, the two sell everything inside his house for sixty dollars. In Pool Toys, Anderson brags to Bill that he has found a couple of good workers (B&B) to help around the yard. Bill is not to be confused with the similarly named Billy Bob. Voiced by Clu Gulager.
  • Ric Aaron Joseph: A photographer whose most prominent role was in Dude, A Reward, in which his lost photography equipment is found in a local park by Beavis and Butt-head. The duo take crude, up-close photographs of their own body parts (up their nostrils, down the front of their pants, etc.) before breaking the equipment, then returning it for the reward money. Joseph displays the photos as his own work in a photographic exhibition, winning critical acclaim from those who view them as a work of genius. He is also depicted as the photographer for class pictures for Highland High (Tainted Meat) and as an art instructor (Figure Drawing).
  • Gina: Todd's girlfriend who appears several times. She works in a beauty salon (Top O' The Mountain) and she has a heavily hair sprayed 80's metalhead appearance. (A different character depicted as an upperclassman at Highland High is also named Gina.)
  • Madame Blavatsky: From the episode of the same name, she is a fortune teller who speaks in a faux-East European accent. She attempts to tell Butt-head's future. Beavis seizes her crystal ball and describes a war scene, which she interprets as him having psychic powers and foreseeing the end of the world ("The boy has the sight"), but it is only the reflection of a news broadcast on the television behind him. Her character is based on a real person of Russian origin, Helena Blavatsky.

Famous quotes containing the words local, business and/or figures:

    Resorts advertised for waitresses, specifying that they “must appear in short clothes or no engagement.” Below a Gospel Guide column headed, “Where our Local Divines Will Hang Out Tomorrow,” was an account of spirited gun play at the Bon Ton. In Jeff Winney’s California Concert Hall, patrons “bucked the tiger” under the watchful eye of Kitty Crawhurst, popular “lady” gambler.
    —Administration in the State of Colo, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)

    What if all the forces of society were bent upon developing [poor] children? What if society’s business were making people instead of profits? How much of their creative beauty of spirit would remain unquenched through the years? How much of this responsiveness would follow them through life?
    Mary Heaton Vorse (1874–1966)

    But that wasn’t fancy enough for Lord Byron, oh dear me no, he had to invent a lot of figures of speech and then interpolate them,
    With the result that whenever you mention Old Testament soldiers to
    people they say Oh yes, they’re the ones that a lot of wolves dressed up in gold and purple ate them.
    Ogden Nash (1902–1971)
