[edit] South Park

I removed the South Park trivia item suggesting Terrence and Philip were based on Wayne and Schuster. I don't see the connection, personally, and this page is the only place where I've seen it suggested. If someone can provide a link indicating that Parker and Stone did in fact use W&S as the inspiration for their characters, then please feel free to put the item back. 23skidoo 19:38, 17 December 2005 (UTC)

Nearly two years later, the Souh Park section is back (or still there), and still unsourced. I'm removing it again. - BillCJ 23:57, 15 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Spelling of Shuster

Is it Shuster or Schuster, or are both acceptable? Shuster seems to be the most common on the web but I came here to check and I see there are several Schusters in the text. Even Amazon has references to both.

[edit] Does this anecdote make sense?

They spoofed accents and dialogue. After Wayne brought down an escaping felon with a gunshot (off screen), Shuster would say, "You got him in the rotunda/cloisters/etc.", with Wayne looking wryly at Shuster. "Srightry ahead of Panasonic!" "Srightry?" (Later...) "I go plug it in." "Don't you mean, 'prug it in'?" "No. One ethnic joke per sketch is plenty... or prenty if that's the way you like it." In another sketch, Shuster was calling on the phone for "Inspector Slattery." Wayne said, "Slattery will get you nowhere."

It might just be me, but this reads like something that makes sense.. IF you've seen the sketch in question. To me, it is utterly incomprehensible. Maybe there's a way to make it more accessable?
