Those aren't bad guys though. (Okay, that's debatable for Jerry and George.) They're also not henchmen.

Incidentally, I just showed my teenager Laurel and Hardy's The Music Box. She loved it. So I agree with the 'tried and true' part.

not bad guys, but comedy duos... which is usually the case for the henchmen; one's big and dumb, and ones thin and smarter.

oh also penn and teller! though penn lost a lot of weight but he's tall af so he's always gonna be heavier than teller.

It's more bulky vs. wiry, but you could also include Walter Mathau and Jack Lemmon.
