[[Those Two Guys|Statler and Waldorf]] are two side characters from ''[[The Muppet Show]]'' whose entire purpose is to heckle and insult the rest of the cast, along with each episode's guest. They are the [[Greek Chorus]] for the Muppet universe. They are best known for [[The Stinger]] that [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=14njUwJUg1I they drop] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-R3ZYnu04rI at the] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jJNxj1FdKuo end of] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SK6TVqbsKVk&feature=related each episode], almost always containing yet another crack at the show followed by their [[Catch Phrase|signature]] [[Memetic Mutation|"Do-ho-ho-ho-hoh!"]]. You can find the tropes associated with them on [[The Muppet Show (TV)/Characters|the character sheet for]] ''[[The Muppet Show]]''.

Good snark being a precious inspirational resource, it's no surprise then that Statler and Waldorf have been appearing in other media. They've set up shop in [http://www.youtube.com/user/heckleu247 YouTube], as well as here on theAll [[TVThe Tropes Wiki]]. Though not nearly as well known, this pushes them into the group of memetic characters who inhabit the wiki along with [[Trope-tan]], '''[[Brian Blessed|BRIAN BLESSED]]''', [[Tropers/The Advertisement Server|The Advertisement Server]], [[The Toblerone]], [[Alice and Bob]], [[Report Siht]] and many others.

Oh by the way, do you know where they got their names from? The two largest hotels in New York City, the Statler (now the famous Hotel Pennsylvania, known for its world-famous phone number from the 1940s [[Glenn Miller]] tune of the same name, [+ 1 (212)] '''PEnnsylvaniaPennsylvania 6-5000'''), and the Waldorf (now the Waldorf-Astoria.) In [http://muppet.wikia.com/wiki/Astoria fact], Astoria is Waldorf's wife (who [[You Look Familiar|looks an awful lot like Statler]]). A little bit of trivia, exclusively for TVAll The Tropes readers.
