Beavis and Butt-head, for its time, was very controversial. In the early seasons of the show, pranks and destructive acts received more focus than the stupidity of the characters. Acts included leaving the house during tornado conditions, drug trafficking, bulldozing school property, and injuring themselves while attempting to profit from subsequent lawsuits. This led to children imitating behavior of the characters, similar to what would happen with later MTV shows such as ''[[Jackass]]'' and ''[[Punk'd]]''.
