Two characters, usually in a school setting, to be the mundane [[Greek Chorus]]. They may or may not be [[Deadpan Snarker|snarky]] and unlike the [[Greek Chorus]], they don't [[Breaking the Fourth Wall|break the fourth wall]] very often (if at all). They're completely ordinary... and no, we don't mean as in the [[Ordinary High School Student]], or the [[Badass Normal]]. They're ''[[Muggles|ordinary]]''. Often the [[Muggle Best Friend|best friends]] of the main character (who ''is'' an [[Ordinary High School Student]]) before all the weirdness with aliens, robots, magic, demons, harems, etc.
Line 292 ⟶ 293:
* Jeffrey and Lester from ''[[Chuck]]''. These two may also be considered a [[Beta Couple]] to [[Heterosexual Life Partners]] Chuck and Morgan. They have a rock duo called Jeffster, which is (unsurprisingly) terrible.
** Terribly ''awesome''. Also, while they can be Those Two Guys in some episodes, they seem different from a lot of examples on this page in a lot of ways. First of all, they aren't indistinguishable from each other. Second, they aren't clueless about the show's [[Masquerade]]: it's revealed near the end of Season 2 that they know more about the [[Power Trio]] than anyone else, although they have still guessed wrong in a big way.

* In the new ''[[Battlestar Galactica Reimagined]]'', Dualla and Gaeta are occasionally shown talking about what is going on, but by the last two seasons that role has been taken up by Racetrack and Skulls, who frequently fly vital and extremely hazardous Raptor scouting missions without any idea what the overall mission objective is, and complain about it.
* An interesting take on the idea is in HBO's ''[[Rome]]'', where Lucius Vorenus and Titus Pullo may be two of the main characters, but they are also arguably playing a Rosencrantz-and-Guildenstern role where their stories, although important to them, are but a minor side-show compared to the unfolding civil war between Caesar and Pompey, which they observe and sometimes affect. This angle is arguably lost in the second season, when their stories are largely separated from the bigger, more important characters, at least until the finale when they side with their patrons (Mark Antony and Octavian, respectively) once again.
