Explain which of the following you think would get lucky more often, then submit your own famous pair. I will start with (In keeping with recent themes) Batman or Robin? What do you think? ---

Let me be the first to say, I think Batman and Robin get the exact same amount of action…with each other. ---

Thank you Lamia, and we need a new pair suggestion. I have a feeling you won’t be back, so here it is: The Smothers Brothers. ---

I would think Bruce Wayne gets plenty of action. Some women are just drawn to money and power. GTPhD1996 ---

Just to clear this up some: You are supposed to answer the pair given by the previous poster, then submit your own for someone else to answer. I think it makes it more fun that way. Apologies to Lamia, good comeback! So we need someon to tackle the sex life of Amos and Andy? ---

Andy Does it have to be a duo? Could it be a quartet? I want to suggest the Marx Brothers. I would have put the Beatles, but we all know who got all the action there. ---

Well, Chico. He was called Chico because he was always chasing chicks. Smith and Jones (from Alias Smith and Jones) ---

I think trios or quartets or whatever you want is fine, good suggestion syncrolecyne. ---

Starbuck and Apollo were the two hotshot pilots from Battlestar Gallactica. It’s obvious Starbuck got more action – Apollo suffered from the same problem as Adama’s other sons, the Cartwrights. Every time he fell for a girl, she died. From “The Sting” Henry Gondorff or Johnny Hooker? ---

Damn, do I **have** to choose? (whaddya mean, its not me providing the action?) Henry Gondorf – the twinkle in his eye was enough to melt a polar icecap. (And the fact that he looks just like Paul Newman doesn’t hurt, either.) R2D2 or C3Pio? ---

R2D2 for sure. Chicks dig short guys. Plus he’s got a lot of “gadgets,” wink wink. Tom Servo or Crow T. Robot? ---

Servo - he’s got the dreamiest singing voice! Laurel or Hardy? ---

Laurel – much bigger feet. Nancy Drew or the Hardy Boys? [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/who-gets-more-action/185272.md?page=2)
