"Wayne and Schuster mourn the demise of the Ed Sullivan show.”
BTW folks, 97 is the largest two digit prime number. ... Just sayin’.
Damn, I didn’t notice “fictional” in the title. The Canadian duo were all too real.
Let me work on this a bit.

Give it a second and then scroll down.
Brokeback Mountain?
Looks like JFK is looking longingly at Teddy’s wee-wee, something that Teddy hasn’t been able to see for himself since Chappaquiddick days.
Oink & OCM? Yes, they are fictional.
Kennedy’s got a face like a half sucked mango. All that alcohol abuse over the years has really taken it’s toll.
Reminds me of the scene in “The Bank Dick” when the little girl makes fun of (the great) W.C. Fields and his big red nose. Her mother says something along the lines of “You’d like to have that nose if it was full of nickels” or words to that effect.
OCM I was thinking more along the lines of “Dumb and Dumber”
How about “The Tin Man” and “The Cowardly Lion”?
I was thinking of pinky and the brain - but neither of them has a brain.
What about the color? One of them is a pumpkin and the other is a raw turnip.
VEGEMATIC!
Comment #10: Ocm, GRRRRRRRRRRRRRR ........
Comment #11: Welcome, Median Sib. And would Howard Dean be the Scarecrow?? Who would play Dorothy??
Well, there goes my early lunch .
But I suggest Walt Kelly’s “Goat and Pig” (parodies of Fidel and Nikita) from the “banned strips” that were later collected in Instant Pogo.
HIGHLY recommended reading, by the way, for any who have not yet ventured forth.
#11 - perhaps that old scary warhorse what’s her name Helen Thomas?!? God, I have a problem with those feminazis as I can’t keep my eyes open long enough to read the name. Anyway having been a White House reporter since Washington - she would certainly have the desire of most of us to scream ‘theres no place like home’ and wish that she’d disapear.
Of course that Maureen Dowd woman would also be perfect since she lives in an alternate reality and believes that fiction is real.
I don’t know about Dorothy, but the Wicked Witch could be well played by Hillary.
So far, I think #7 (OCM) and #11 (MS) have have pretty much got it wrapped…
Tweedle-Dee & Tweedle-Dum
# 11 has my vote, so far.
Welcome and well done, Median Sib.
Still working on it here...nothing coming yet.
Remind of? Reminds me of ugly and ugly too. Almost as ugly as their purposes.
Ren and Stimpy.
“Stimpy, did you just poop on my nomination?”
Any time I have the misfortune of seeing Kerry, in my
mind I ask him; “So, why the long face?”
I like “Brown Nose and Asswipe”, but I don’t think they were real or imagined characters…
Jabba the Hutt listens intently to the little pink squirrely thing that sits on his belly…
new musical group: Guns and 4 Roses
On the left (both pictorially and in real life), from Looney Tunes, is Foghorn Leghorn, whose obnoxious booming voice irritates everyone;
On the right (of the photo, otherwise very left), from the cartoon Shoe, we have Senator Batson D. Belfry, the beltway blowhard, who speaks nonsense in gin-soaked oblivion.
Of course, in the cartoons’ fictional world they’ve never met, but I thought the characters were a good fit.
As a fictional duo, how about Alphonse & Gaston? After you m’dear.
Did’ja Know that Foghorn Leghorn was based on a character in the radio show Allen’s Alley? Claghorn was a parody of the old time Southern Politician, “That’s a joke, son!” “Pay attention now, boy!”
OINK’s late entry for the caption contest, just for fun!
“Well Ted (keeping a sharp eye on the men’s room door), it does appear that yours is bigger than mine. But mine is in better condition.”
Cartman and Mr. Hanky?
Oink - I didn’t know Leghorn had a prototype. Leghorn was pompous and preachy like Kerry, but Leghorn’s obviously southern style was a fly in the ointment, but I couldn’t think of a ludicrous cartoon character that had Kerry’s condescending tone. I don’t recall listening to Allen’s Alley, but the name is familiar.
Don’t know how I missed it though; I recall listening to The Lone Ranger, Sgt. Preston of the Yukon, Texaco’s Metropolitan Opera, The Green Hornet, The Shadow (Who knows what evil lurks in the hearts of men? The Shadow knows!)
Allen’s Alley was on radio from 1932 - 1949. I never heard it.
I listened to the other radio shows you listed, also Amos&Andy.
Three Stooges minus one.............
I was going to say Abbott and Costello, but I like them too much to defame them by referring to these poor excuses as that.
Add Dirty Harry Reid, and you would have the Three Stooges.
No, I liked them when I was a kid.
Aw, forget it.
Boris and Natasha from Bullwinkle? (I’ll let you decide who’s who...)
Evil, incompetant, idiots with grandiose schemes and nefarious plots that are always thwarted by Bullwinkle/GOP? Yup, it fits.
Big Fat Jabba the Hut and Salacious Crumb (the annoying squeally long-faced little creep among his toadies)
Beavis and Butthead
Or, in honor of their home state of Taxachusetts, and in memory of Count Taxula and Algor:
Count Dracula, and Egor
Ambiguously Gay Duo! (apologies to Saturday Night Live)
Frogboy and Aquaman? OK, that’s the last one for me.
