See Daria Of The Smart Universe In The 'Beavis And Butt-Head' Season 2 Finale

Smart is not a look. It’s not an attitude. It’s a way of being.

Heh heh. Beavis and Butt-Head scored a great return for the finale of its second revival season and tenth overall. Daria Morgendorffer has made a full-fledged return in a manner one might not expect.

The first segment of the finale, "Abduction", is Smart Beavis and Smart Butt-Head-centric. It opens with them on trial in front of a tribunal. Their crimes? They were “supposed to have spent the last two years exploring the various universes and what have you. But all [they’ve] done is run up an expense account on space nachos and intergalactic pornography.” which includes the angsty teen's even smarter counterpart is on. Voiced once again by Tracy Grandstaff, it is the character's first fully-voiced appearance in general since her spinoff Daria ended in 2002, and on the mothership show since its original end 5 years earlier, both on MTV.

The Smart Universe, where everyone's counterpart is intellectually superior, even if so marginally for dunderheads like Beavis and Butt-Head was introduced with a broader multiverse for the series in the return movie Beavis and Butt-Head Do the Universe, which premiered this time last year and did feature Daria in a silent cameo. She facepalmed at the boys' sentencing to space camp. The scene in question was used as a preview clip released on YouTube on Wednesday, titled "Sentenced To Death".

The full episode, its B-side titled "Sleepover", and therefore the whole two revival seasons are now streaming on Paramount+. Classic episodes were released remastered on Wednesday as well, as they fill in those gaps of the original eight seasons. There’s still more from Daria’s own circles to be seen, as a Jodie movie with Tracee Ellis Ross now in the role is still in the works for Comedy Central.
