There are plenty of famous duos in our universe.
But surely there are plenty of famous duos in alternate universes too.

Anything like the ones shown above will get you a bonus point.
See you at trivia.

Joseph Stalin – Swipe Right if you like my moustache. Swipe Left if you like the Gulag.
Henry VIII – My anaconda don’t want none unless you birth sons hon!

See you at trivia.
Last week a team at one of our shows argued that Australia’s Prime Minister in the early 70s was Goth Whitlam.
