Well,
The Noun and the Noun meets Character Title. Usually the title characters are either lovers or
Heterosexual Life Partners. This is also a standard title form for
Buddy Cop Shows. It's also the obvious choice for a
Sketch Show starring a
Double Act.
A variant, often found in slacker comedy films, is "Name and Name Do Stuff". (See also
Episode Finishes The Title.)
If one of the names is mostly irrelevant, see
Garfunkel.

- Coheed and Cambria

- The song "Fair and Just" by Kevin Bloody Wilson. A parody of cop shows like Starsky and Hutch. It would probably make Kev's attitude towards Australian police clear enough even without the piggy grunts and squeals.
- "Lady Ice and Mr Hex" by Heaven 17.
- Hansel and Gretel and Ted and Alice, An Opera in One Unnatural Act, by PDQ Bach (Peter Schekele).
