break-words\">The longtime television writer and producer returned to Oshkosh for Quad Con at Oshkosh Arena, revisiting the city he says helped launch his career in entertainment.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Brown built a career writing and producing for several well-known television shows, including <em>Beavis and Butt-Head<\/em>, <em>The Tom Green Show<\/em> and <em>Blue Mountain State<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">While many fans know him for helping shape the humor of MTV\u2019s iconic animated series, Brown says his creative inspiration often came from his Wisconsin roots.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"relative mb-4\">\n<div class=\"relative\"><button aria-label=\"View larger image\" class=\"group absolute

did growing up in Wisconsin,\u201d Brown said. \u201cYou take your life and you make it some of your material.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Brown graduated from UW-Oshkosh\u2019s radio-TV-film program, where he says a professor helped inspire him to pursue screenwriting professionally.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">During his final year, Brown took a television screenwriting course taught by Professor Douglas Hale \u2014 a class he says changed the direction of his life.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">\u201cThat was where I got the idea that I wanted to go on and become a screenwriter,\u201d Brown said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">That path eventually led Brown to Hollywood, where he helped create some of the most memorable moments in animated comedy, including writing the now-famous line, \u201cI need T-P for my bunghole.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Still, Brown says one of the most rewarding parts of his career is meeting fans and hearing the memories they associate with the show.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">He said many share stories of sneaking episodes late at night or getting in trouble for watching <em>Beavis and Butt-Head<\/em> when parents didn\u2019t approve.<\/p>\n<p

that\u2019s the reason I do this show,\u201d Brown said. \u201cI love talking to the fans because everybody\u2019s got their own stories about how they started watching <em>Beavis and
