Television/radio Personalities
- Rabid Ron: A radio host for local radio station KT&A where Beavis and Butt-head win a guest DJ spot (Radio Sweethearts). The duo gains popularity with Ron's audience by tactlessly ridiculing him on the air for being an over the hill Heavy metal poser and promising free butt tattoos as a giveaway. Ron's show, which seemingly had almost no audience before the pair guest hosted, was retooled to emulate Beavis and Butt-head after his audience apparently wanted to hear more of them. After hearing the reworked show, Butt-head remarked "This used to be a pretty cool station until they put these dorks on." Voiced by Kristofor Brown.
- Gus Baker: A parody of Rush Limbaugh, Baker mistakenly believes Beavis and Butt-head to be positive young role models when they call his talk show to praise his advocacy of the death penalty for criminals (Right On). As a result, he brings them on the show to discuss "immoral" music videos. However, their crassness and bad language soon create a commotion, ending with Beavis mooning the camera.
- Dan Silver: A parody of self-help guru Tony Robbins (The Miracle That Is Beavis). He gives Beavis a brief motivational speech at a book signing, along with a free copy of his book "Seize The Power". Beavis's assertiveness increases dramatically (much to the aggravation of Coach Buzzcut and Principal McVicker), but it also annoys Butt-head, who regresses Beavis to his old self with a few smacks across the face.
- Peter Small: A parody of fitness guru Tony Little (Take a Lap), he hosts infomercials for performance-enhancing supplements in such an aggressive manner that it convinces Beavis and Butt-head to exercise and concoct their own supplemental drink. He later dies of heart failure brought upon by the strain of defecation. Voiced by Dean Julian.
- Captain Dick Jackman: A weather man on a Highland television station, he appears in Teen Talk as the host of a program on which he talks to troubled teens. He unsuccessfully tries to appear tuned in to the lingo of teenagers. Beavis and Butt-head are sent to appear on the show by Principal McVicker as a disciplinary measure.
- Wolf Jackal: A parody of reporter Wolf Blitzer of CNN. He is the reporter in the war scene Beavis sees in the crystal ball in Madame Blavatsky.

Famous quotes containing the words television and/or radio:
“His [O.J. Simpson’s] supporters lined the freeway to cheer him on Friday and commentators talked about his tragedy. Did those people see the photographs of the crime scene and the great blackening pools of blood seeping into the sidewalk? Did battered women watch all this on television and realize more vividly than ever before that their lives were cheap and their pain inconsequential?”
—Anna Quindlen (b. 1952)
“England has the most sordid literary scene I’ve ever seen. They all meet in the same pub. This guy’s writing a foreword for this person. They all have to give radio programs, they have to do all this just in order to scrape by. They’re all scratching each other’s backs.”
—William Burroughs (b. 1914)
