Top 10 Comedic Character Duos in an Animated Series
The Top Ten
Tom and Jerry is an American animated series of short films created in 1940, by William Hanna and Joseph Barbera. Iconic duo. - Tia-Harribel
All the show needs is some more vore scenes and Tom's-ear-canal-slash-brain scenes and then it'll be perfect - xandermartin98
Rick and Morty is an American adult animated science fiction sitcom created by Justin Roiland and Dan Harmon for Adult Swim. Absolute perfection of the trope, enough said; I don't even like the show nearly as much as most, and even I can agree on this - xandermartin98
Beavis and Butt-Head is an American animated sitcom created and designed by Mike Judge. The series originated from Frog Baseball, a 1992 short film by Judge originally aired on Liquid Television. One of the all-time best parodies of stereotypical dumb rock-elitist teenagers at the time, hands down - xandermartin98
BUGS: Elmer, will you shoot him now or wait till you get home?
DAFFY: SHOOT ME NOW! SHOOT ME NOW! - xandermartin98
SPONGEBOB: (struggling desperately to get the paint off of Mr. Krabs' dollar) NOTHING'S WORKING!
PATRICK: WAIT, Spongebob! We're NOT CAVEMEN! We have TECHNOLOGY! (smashes outdated 1990s computer against the dollar in a fit of rage) DURR DURR DURR DURR DURR!
SPONGEBOB: (a few seconds of awkward silence later) It didn't work. - xandermartin98
One is a genius, both are insane - xandermartin98
Long story short, this show is the most underrated thing I've seen in a LONG time; I'm not spoiling the episode origins, but examples of some of the more hilarious dialogue exchanges between the two include:
(#1)
JIM: (flies his way through the understandably terrified Psycrow's ear canal until he finally reaches the poor bastard's ridiculously small brain) PSYCROW'S BEHAVIORAL CONTROL CENTER! QUICK! (swings his hand out behind him so ludicrously exaggeratedly and forcefully that Peter Puppy reflexively flinches backward to avoid getting hit in the face with it) YOUR TAPE PLAYER!
PETER: You're NOT gonna get CUSTARD (totally not an innuendo for man-juice) all over it again, ARE YOU?!
JIM: (shoots priceless death glare at Peter, then snatches the device right out of his hands and jams it directly into Psycrow's cerebral cortex)
(#2)
PETER: Well, you see, my college education tells me that (insert hilariously long and over-complicated string of scientific ...more - xandermartin98
Oh, and also, before I forget:
(#6)
JIM: Don't you think it's STRANGE, a giant worm and a talking dog living together?
PETER: It isn't strange; there's a warthog down the street who lives with a talking eggplant! - xandermartin98

The Contenders
My personal favorite scene from them:
FILBURT: (with his potato chips stacked up on the desk of his local high school's science lab in a disturbingly meticulous fashion) Okay, I'll eat THIS one today, and THIS one tomorrow, and then I'll save THIS one for cartoons (grabs handful of them and starts holding it like a handful of playing cards), and then I'll eat this one right now...yeah, that's right, baby, I'm eating YOU!
HEFFER: (glares greedily intently at Filburt's chip stash)
FILBURT: Oh no! Oh NO NO NO NO NONONONONONONO! I AIN'T GIVING HIM NOTHING! Lemme tell you something, pal; I got PLANS for these chips! YOU ATE YOURS, FAT BOY! THESE BABIES ARE MINNNE! (continues counting his chips like a stereotypical Jew counting his coins)
HEFFER: (completely loses his mind and lunges onto Filburt, initiating a classic Looney-Toons-style "dust brawl" between the two)
FILBURT: GET your FAT stinking hooves OFF of me! (wins the fight and looks down angrily at Heffer while ...more - xandermartin98
Same here as with Ren and Stimpy (don't worry, Pinky and the Brain are coming up soon) - xandermartin98
