Statler and Waldorf: Difference between revisions

Line 15:

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 All The Tropes. Though not nearly as well known, this pushes them into the group of memetic characters who inhabit the wiki along with '''[[Brian Blessed]]''', [[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)] '''Pennsylvania 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 All The Tropes readers.
