Beavis and Butt-Head pretty constantly torment, either on purpose or accidentally, their neighbor, Tom Anderson. Among the indignities they've foisted upon the guy: They smashed his house with a falling tree, stole his golf balls and sold them back to him, ruined his pool, and sold everything he owned at a yard sale (including his Purple Heart).
Tom is a patriotic, conservative, beer-drinking guy. He likes to work with tools and mow his lawn, he gets easily upset, and he speaks in short sentences in a high-pitched Texas drawl. Does that sound familiar? That's because Tom Anderson shares virtually the same appearance and speech patterns of a later, more famous cartoon character: Hank Hill from King of the Hill.
That show, like Beavis and Butt-Head, was created by Mike Judge. He also voiced both Tom Anderson and Hank Hill, who, like Tom, is a patriotic, conservative, beer-drinking, lawn-and-tool obsessed guy. Even Tom's wife, Marcy, looks like Peggy Hill, Hank's wife. The only difference: the Hills are middle-aged, while the Andersons are well into their golden years.
