FAMOUS SIDEKICKS and PAIRS

Bert and Ernie

Which one is the sidekick, BERT???

Elton John and Bernie Taupin

Elton wasn’t purely responsible for the genius of nearly ALL of hs songs without the help of Bernie. What is it with B names and sidekicks??

Peter Pan and Tinkerbell

This is an interesting “sidekick” relationship, because TINK is a feisty little thing who probably provokes Peter and makes his life more difficult than actually adding to it. But shoot, who doesn’t want a little fairy to sprinkle fairy dust and make you fly?? I’d put up with her attitude if I could fly.

Ren and Stimpy

Never did understand this cartoon. And APPARENTLY they were a Manx cat and Chihuahua. I never knew…

Tim Allen and Al Borland

Poor Al. Did anyone else feel really bad for Al??? He was the only one who knew what he was doing. I wanted to give him a hug.

Captain Hook and Smee

TIP: Captain Hook was very methodical about picking his sidekick. He wanted someone that wouldn’t be a snitch and ALSO, someone that could be a tad bit of a PUSHOVER.

Harry Potter and Ron Weasley

TIP: Harry wanted to make sure that Ron wasn’t going to go and “out Wizard” him, so if you’re picking a sidekick…they may want to be slightly LESS talented than you.

Edie and Andy Warhol

One downside of having a sidekick is; your sidekick could be destructive. Some sidekicks bring out the best, others bring out the worst and then some…and that was the case with Edie and Andy. Jealousy, deceit, and overall craziness.

Bill Clinton and Al Gore

TIP: It’s OK for you sidekick to be as smart, or smarter than you.

Balki from Perfect Strangers

Again with the B names. The funny thing, I actually don’t know the other guys name. Maybe he wasn’t a sidekick after all?

Puss in Boots

I’m not entirely sure which one Puss in Boots was more of a sidekick to, Shrek? Or Donkey?

….the ONLY cartoon I ever read.

Dr. Evil and Mini Me

Ever since the Austin Powers movies came out, many people have been able to use the “mini me” reference. I use it all the time when my sister comes in the room.

True story, he hasn’t always JUST been the Star Search guy.

Pat Sajak and Vanna White

Abercrombie and Fitch

TIP: Careful if you’re the sidekick, because eventually- Fitch started getting dropped from all the t-shirts.
