Those Two Bad Guys is replaced by Bumbling Henchmen Duo with a slightly different definition, as per this thread. Plus, the description fits Evil Duo to a tee, not Those Two Bad Guys (which was originally defined as a pair of bantering, exposition-spouting goons).


* EvilDuo: Grunk and Leo are a mix of this and BumblingHenchmenDuo. Leo is the shorter, smarter leader who thinks he's a genius. Grunk is the DumbMuscle who towers over him. Both of them are [[ButtMonkey butt monkeys]].
