Changed line(s) 1,7 (click to see context) from:

* Lenford "Lenny" Leonard and Carlton "Carl" Carlson from ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons''.
** When the show spoofed ''Theatre/{{Hamlet}}'', these two were even cast as [[strike:Rozencrantz and Guildenstern]] Rosencarl and Guildenlenny. And then [[Theatre/RosencrantzAndGuildensternAreDead they die]] five seconds after being named.
** Also Sam and Larry, the ''other'' two patrons at Moe's. You know, the trucker with glasses and the bald guy in the orange jacket who (a) isn't Homer, and (b) looks either really depressed (like "about-to-cry-over-his-miserable-life" depressed) or really drunk. [[ChuckCunninghamSyndrome They [Larry and Sam] were around in the early episodes, but were quickly replaced by Lenny and Carl]], so don't feel bad if you've been introduced to ''The Simpsons'' via the newer episodes and have never heard of either Larry or Sam.
** Eugene and Rusty (Springfield's "town perverts" from "Bart After Dark").
** The cops Eddie (the cop who looks like an OffModel Mr. Burns) and Lou (the black cop with the Popeye arms) as well.
** Let's not forget Bart's school friends from the first two season, Richard and Lewis.
** As well as Rod and Todd Flanders, both who are the sons of Ned Flanders.

** Patty and Selma may come off as Those Two Twin Sisters. Especially in the early seasons they were hardly ever separated and sport similar hairstyle and wear similar clothes.
** Eugene and Rusty, Springfield's "town perverts" from "Bart After Dark".
** The cops Eddie (the cop who looks like an OffModel Mr. Burns) and Lou (the black cop with the Popeye arms).
** Bart's school friends from the first two season, Richard and Lewis.
** Rod and Todd Flanders, both who are the sons of Ned Flanders. Hard to distinguish them from each other.

Changed line(s) 9,16 (click to see context) from:

* Timmy's best friends Chester and A.J. on ''WesternAnimation/TheFairlyOddParents''.
** Who, true to form, get their own ''Theatre/RosencrantzAndGuildensternAreDead''-type episode.
** Also, Timmy's "back-up" friends, Sanjay and Elmer.
** Also the rich jerks, Tad and Chad.
* Pete White and Master Billy Quizboy from ''WesternAnimation/TheVentureBrothers'', who are also business partners and roommates in addition to being super-scientists. In fact, most of the series' characters are foils for one another; Doctor Venture and Brock, The Monarch and Dr. Girlfriend, Hank and Dean, Watch and Ward, Monarch Henchmen 21 and 24, etc.
** In DVD commentaries, Doc Hammer and Jackson Publick point this trope out and confess that this is because whenever they're stuck or bored while writing they just make up two characters who are basically each other and goof around doing voices as them.
* ''WesternAnimation/CodeLyoko'' has two pairs: the two {{School Newspaper Newshound}}s Milly and Tamiya, and arguably Sissi's two cronies, Hervé and Nicolas.
** And starting Season 3, Hiroki and Johnny also fit the mold.
