Everyman And Dumb Idiot

Starring Guy Greene and Hugo Jankus as Flint Steel and Michael Screwass in "My Buddy Cop's a Complete Moron"!

The two characters who have conflicting personalities, occasionally getting in the other's way as the two do things differently. The Everyman is the smart one of the duo who uses logic to solve problems while the Dumb Idiot usually causes those problems the Everyman needs to solve. The Dumb Idiot might also be a Comic Relief as they're the one whose stupidity should make the audience laugh. The duality of this role extends to any pair of characters in which one is the Arrow and the other is the Goofball. What makes the Everyman And Dumb Idiot work is how one has a no-nonsense attitude that can work seriously when needed and the other is light and carefree, preferring not to burden themselves with labor or responsibility. If the Everyman And Dumb Idiot live together, they'll make it clear whose part of the home is whose. If a bedroom is tidy, organized, and has work-related objects (staplers, scissors, office chairs, protractors, and so on), chances are it belongs to the Everyman. Meanwhile, any dirty room is likely to be Clowntown.
