Line 4:
Two guys who are often [[Heterosexual Life Partners]], and usually embody the [[Fat and Skinny]] trope. That's just the start of the bundle of tropes these two embody.
This trope describes a pair of guys who always fight together, are best friends forever, and have a very obvious hierarchy: The little guy is always in charge, and if it overlaps with [[Brains and Brawn]], the little guy is almost always the Brains. The big guy plays the [[Dumb Muscle]] role, but there's a catch, and this is important—often, the big guy will often have some pretty good ideas. The little guy always ignores the big guy's suggestion, only to [[Glad I Thought of It|come up with the idea himself just a split second later]], as in Timon 'N' Pumbaa. Despite his [[Dumbass Has a Point|occasional flashes of insight]], the big guy is not [[Obfuscating Stupidity|obfuscating]]—he really is just a big dumb lug, and he often doesn't know his own strength.
The Little guy is usually listed first, since he's the leader, and they are always listed together, as if they are one entity. In fact, some episodes may center on the fact that they can't live without each other. Although these guys are seen most often in kid's shows, they are also played seriously.
