i swear i remember him being at their school in one episode but i'm not sure? i'm also just curious about todd's lore in general lol
Weary_Sale_2779@reddit
How old are B and B got that matter? A recent episode Beavis was like "I've been going here for 3 years, which, if my understanding of US highschool is correct, would make him at least 17? I thought they were like 15
voicesofbishara@reddit (OP)
iirc mike judge himself said they were 'around 14 or 15' in the behind the scenes documentary

In Safe Driving, Butt-Head was shown on his birth certificate to be born in 1978. 1978 + 15 = 1993, which is when the first, second, and most of the third season aired (after the shorts in 92). It would make sense
voicesofbishara@reddit (OP)
it's funny bc it's only ever butthead that gets his age confirmed (i did some googling and saw that he specifically mentions that he's 15 in Babies R Us). beavis is clearly the same age but i always wondered who is older between the two
valy225@reddit
What if i told you that Beavis and Butthead were cousins. Some have a theory that the mothers of the two were sisters
voicesofbishara@reddit (OP)
half-brothers*. the theory only comes from a page in This Book Sucks that states the boys' mothers had sex with the same guy, and it's not believed to be canon
valy225@reddit
True but how we explain the resemblance of the hobos in the wild that looked identical to Beavis and Butthead where he bragged how he did it with bb and bh moms
Weary_Sale_2779@reddit
I have this book sucks in the garage. I should duh it out. Best... And only gift our older cousin gave me and my brother Gaga
thegoldenturtle@reddit
They're pretty dumb for 15 year olds lol
Weary_Sale_2779@reddit
I mean, they're dumb for any age haha
brandyharringtonfan@reddit
Exactly. Probably Butt-Head because he's a little taller
brandyharringtonfan@reddit
I think the word for this is "floating timeline"
Weary_Sale_2779@reddit
I often forget that's not just a Simpsons thing haha
Nog45@reddit
probably in The ballpark of 19-21
Dakotakid02@reddit
I feel like he’s just out of school or at least a 19 year old drop out.
BarbuthcleusSpeckums@reddit
My guess was always 19.
SwoeJonson1@reddit
I thought he looked too mature to be a teenager still. My guess was his mid twenties
Dakotakid02@reddit
He strikes me as a jock that was too violent for Texas high school football and too poor and white trash for anyone to cover for him.
Working_Season7223@reddit
Stuart says in "Steamroller" that Todd "dropped out two years ago"
Zealousideal_Rip_547@reddit
Todd dropped out of seminary school, not high school, two years ago because he’s a closeted homosexual. He’s actually 26.
Plus-Accident-5509@reddit
That sounds backwards.
DerBingle78@reddit
I don’t know, but this is who voices him:
You don’t want to fuck with that guy. He killed fiddy men.
kimbosliceurface@reddit
Okay kon
Donut_Ambitious@reddit
What?! I love Toby Huss and never knew this
voicesofbishara@reddit (OP)
he also voices kahn and cotton in king of the hill (and now dale since the original VA passed away)
Chaghatai@reddit
Is that Huss? He also voiced Henry the "werewolf"
voicesofbishara@reddit (OP)
yup!
DarkMagickan@reddit
I don't love the job he's doing with Dale. I hope he does a better job next season. He came off very monotonous.
JumpinJackFlash88@reddit
I can give him a pass, he had to come in and do it all on the fly when the original VA died in the middle of recording for the reboot.
DarkMagickan@reddit
That's why I'm not complaining louder or with stronger language. I'm sure he'll grow into the role just fine.
VisualDot4067@reddit
Artie, the strongest man, in the world
Vivid-Copy974@reddit
Seven, very big for his age
Existing-Decision-33@reddit
Fuck you Todd and Earl are cool.
Darth_Beavis@reddit
Early to mid 20s, no younger than 21 or older than 25
black-volcano@reddit
This guy gets it
tjb4040@reddit
All these guesses saying 19-20… I always figured him to be a 30 year old loser who is “cool” to the teenagers cause he drinks .
thegoldenturtle@reddit
I don't know. His gang seems to have the average age of 20
black-volcano@reddit
Don't drop the soap
FarseerEnki@reddit
Judging by the thin mustache I always assumed he was like 25, early 20s. He's still in good shape when Beavis and Butthead are old and dried up and fat
thegoldenturtle@reddit
I'm gonna say maybe 23
Emergency_Lobster514@reddit
Todd? In school? Lol.
brandyharringtonfan@reddit
Yes, he was in their class in Young, Gifted & Crude. Some of his other gang members are seen in the school like Gina and JD
voicesofbishara@reddit (OP)
i always thought it was so funny seeing earl in their class - bro had a full beard and looked/sounded about 35
thegoldenturtle@reddit
Didn't we all go to school with someone like Earl
schill@reddit
He’s arguably held back and/or repeated a few years.
Delicious_Reading165@reddit
though Stewart did mention he dropped out of school 2 years earlier
MarijAWanna@reddit
I feel like he’s that dude who’s like 2-3 years older than beavis and butthead who can’t legally buy alcohol, but looks old enough to and also has a plethora of fake ids for when he is carded
JumpinJackFlash88@reddit
I always thought he was in his mid 20s
TheCandymanCan_925@reddit
I thought he was in his early 20/s
nomappingfound@reddit
He's Matthew McConaughey in dazed and confused.
Postingslop@reddit
His age

Beavis and Butthead Todd lore.
You know, it's the little things in life that bring me joy. Thank you for this ahaha
voicesofbishara@reddit (OP)
this is just what goes through my mind lately now that b&bh is a new special interest of mine 😆 i'm glad you enjoyed it
Better_Clock4882@reddit
I figured he was at least 21 since he's able to buy beer
MechanicalTurkish@reddit
He’s 21 and looks 41 but acts 14
mickbynes@reddit
18
NorthMcCoy@reddit
20-23
chadslc@reddit
No younger than 21, no older than 26.
Material-Leader4635@reddit
Since no one has mentioned it yet:
Stewart mentions that he dropped out of school 2 years ago.
Elliot_The_Fennekin@reddit
My guess is late teens to very early 20s
thedude0425@reddit
23 or 24.
Accomplished_Fun3@reddit
He's 41
Working_Season7223@reddit
Stuart reports in "Steamroller" that Todd dropped out "two years ago". In Texas, high school students may be no older than 25 years old, so Todd can't possibly be older than 27. While it's possible and quite likely that he was held back at least once or twice, I doubt that Todd is meant to be older than 20 or 21.
voicesofbishara@reddit (OP)
now THIS is the type of research i'm lookin for
brandyharringtonfan@reddit
Late teens
AmputeeHandModel@reddit
He sounds like he's 30 or something.
Late_As_Sometimes@reddit
He's exaggerating his voice to sound tough & mean. Smoking cigarettes help "age" one's voice. He's no more than 5 years older than the boys.
michaelthruman@reddit
Yeah, well he’s still cool.
crunchyturdeater@reddit
19, 20
Abyss96@reddit
Pretty sure Stewart said that Todd dropped out of school
Federal_Variation566@reddit
Todd's cool.
starmartyr@reddit
He's sometimes seen in school which implies that he's a few years ahead of them. That said, the show has never really cared about continuity. How old the boys are or what grade they are in is not clear. They have also died multiple times and shown up the next episode without explanation.
Dick-in-a-fan@reddit
Todd is one of the most continuous characters in the show. He exists to kick Beavis and Butthead’s ass.
AdImmediate6239@reddit
Early 20s
GhostBoyJames@reddit
19-21
