Friday List: Best Buddies
Batman without Robin, Thelma without Louise, Paris without Nicole -- imagining one without the other is unthinkable. The fabric of the universe would unravel if, say, Laverne turned up at the Shotz brewery minus Shirley or Lenny busted through their basement apartment door without hetero lifemate Squiggy.
In short, these duos complete each other and our pop culture lexicon.
Today's Friday List comes to us courtesy of New York Magazine's excellent Culture Vulture blog, where editors recently compiled a list of the "15 Most Dynamic Duos in Pop Culture History."
The criteria:
"No sidekicks allowed! Buddies must be on an equal footing; so long Sancho Panza, Robin, and DJ Jazzy Jeff. Romance is completely off the table, so off went Mulder and Scully, Lyra and Will, Fred and Ginger, and Ennis and Jack. And finally, the buddies must stand alone, not as part of some larger group of near-equal importance; adios to the Friends, the Honeymooners, the Flintstones, John and Paul, and Mick and Keef."
Their List:
15. Bialystock and Bloom... in "The Producers" (film, 1968; Broadway musical, 2001-2007; film musical, 2005)
14. Laverne and Shirley... in "Laverne & Shirley" (TV, 1976-1983)
13. Mike Nichols and Elaine May... in their stand-up and improvisational comedy career (1955-1961)
12. Joe Kavalier and Sam Clay... in "The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay" (book, 2000)
11. Calvin and Hobbes... in "Calvin and Hobbes" (comic strip, 1985-1995)
10. Riggs and Murtaugh... in "Lethal Weapon" (movie, 1987)
9. Skip Donahue and Harry Monroe... in Stir Crazy (movie, 1980)
8. Andre 3000 and Big Boi... on Outkast's Stankonia (album, 2001)
7. Bert and Ernie... on "Sesame Street" (TV show, 1969-present)
6. Vladimir and Estragon... in "Waiting for Godot" (play, 1952)
5. Jack Aubrey and Stephen Maturin... in the Aubrey-Maturin series (books, 1970-2004; movie, 2003)
4. Rick Todd and Eugene Fullstack... in "Artists and Models" (1955)
3. Thelma and Louise... in "Thelma & Louise" (movie, 1991)
2. Frodo and Sam... in "The Lord of the Rings" (books, 1954-1955; movies, 2001-2003)
1. Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid... in "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid" (movie, 1969)
My Additions:
1. Texas Bud and Texas Sissy... in "Urban Cowboy" (movie, 1980 and, yes, this breaks the "no romances" rule, but oh well)
2. Lenny Leonard and Carl Carlson... in "The Simpsons" (TV, 1989 - present)
3. Rosencrantz and Guildenstern... in "Hamlet" (play, 1602) and "Rosencratz and Guildenstern are Dead" (play, 1966 and movie, 1990)
4. Joseph "DJ Run" Simmons and Darryl "D.M.C." McDaniels... on Run DMC's self-titled debut (album, 1984)
5. Nero Wolfe and Archie Goodwin... in Rex Stout's series of Nero Wolfe mysteries (books, 1934 - 1975)
6. Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein... in their series of Post articles detailing the Watergate break-in (1972 - 2005)
Now, add your picks below...

Green Lantern/Green Arrow were the number one team during the late sixties and early seventies. Without them, the concept of 'relevance' in comics would not have been possible.

J.D. and Turk from Scrubs for sure. I mean come on, they gave the world "Guy Love," which is basically the anthem for all of these pairings!
And I also second Jake and Ellwood. My world really did implode when I learned they tried make a new pairing with John Goodman. It wasn't even close to the same.
How about Simon and Garfunkel? I know they broke up and hate each other and that Simon went on to have a pretty decent solo career, but still. Neither of them alone or with other people will ever beat out Simon and Garfunkel.
