Marcus and Kevin Copeland (played by Marlon and Shawn Wayans, respectively) are [[IncrediblyLamePun brothers]] and FBI agents. After botching an undercover operation, they are saddled with the task of babysitting socialites [[RichBitch Brittany and Tiffany]] [[NoCelebritiesWereHarmed Wilson]], who are the targets of a kidnapping scheme. After a car accident leaves the girls with a few minor scratches that they consider disfiguring facial wounds, they refuse to go to their planned destination in [[BigApplesauce the Hamptons]], where a major FBI operation is covertly being set up to protect the girls and oust the kidnapper. Not wanting to lose their jobs, Marcus and Kevin decide their only option is to go undercover as the Wilson sisters. HilarityEnsues.

* CowboyCop: What Kevin aspires to be.
* DaChief: Chief Gordon
* DifferentForGirls
* DisguisedInDrag
