    Is Beavis and Butt-head's hometown Highland, Texas?

    Question #60389. Asked by RaeRae55. (Nov 06 05 8:15 AM)


    McGruff

    Mike Judge has said that he imagined Beavis and Butt-head as slacker students at the real-life Highland High School on Coal Avenue SE in Albuquerque, New Mexico, where Judge lived. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beavis_and_Butthead


    Q: Where exactly do they live?
    A: It has never been mentioned on the show or in print, but Ohio, Texas, and New York have all been suggested by the fans. On October 25, 1994, Mike Judge was on an on-line conference on America On-Line and was asked this very question. His answer: "They live in a FICTIONAL town somewhere on the border of western Texas and eastern New Mexico." The following evidence in the show supports this, although NO ONE knows for sure exactly where they live:

    New Mexico Evidence:
    Mike Judge lived and went to grade and high school in the city of Albuquerque.
    There is in fact a high school named 'Highland High' in Albuquerque.

    Texas Evidence:
    When walking along the street in "Madame Batavsky", the boys pass a car with Texas plates.
    In "Trouble Urinating", when the boys are outside, there is a water tower in the background. It looks just like the big ol' water towers in the suburbs surrounding Dallas (esp. north of Dallas). In general, things look more like near-Dallas than Albuquerque. ABQ has mountains and hills. Dallas is pretty much flat. B&B-land is largely flat.
    In 'Tornado!', the boys deal with a tornado. Tornados are common in North Texas.
    It is also very possible that there is a 'Highland High' in North Dallas. There is the upscale town of Highland Park, closer in to Dallas. Anyway, the word "Highland" is all over the place in and around north Dallas.
    Mike Judge created the boys while living in/near Dallas.
    There is a "Highland Park High School" in Highland Park and a "Highland School" in Irving. I don't know what the "Highland School" is, but Irving would be an appropriate north Dallas suburb for the boys to be in... And we'll say it again just in case you weren't really listening before -- it's a 100% fictional, completely made-up city that is purely imaginary and doesn't really exist. (Apologies to old-timers for this, but the discussion of places where they might live has gone on long enough.)
