labyfic / Drabble #44: Brains and Brawn (Reply)

Digging up an old challenge from Livejournal:

Courtesy of the random trope generator from tvtropes.org, I bring you...

..."Brains and Brawn": Sometimes, Brains and Brawn serve as heroes, but other times they're villains (forming an Evil Duo, often the Quirky Miniboss Squad or part of a Terrible Trio, and very frequently Those Two Bad Guys). Either way, there tends to be some element of comedy inherent in their natures...

So now, exactly what pairing are we talking about, and which one is which? Jareth and Sarah? Sir Didymus and Hoggle? Ludo and a firey? The Bird Hat and the Wiseman? Jareth and all the goblins together? Bring on the comedy value with thy valiant drabbles! (This may also be an excellent time to celebrate the many minor characters we adore.)

Given our entries from recent months, let's continue with the suggested limit for this month of 500 words. Though remember that shorter pieces are most definitely welcome!
