[edit] Wrong or what?

""It is believed that the full names of the two are Jason D. Statler and Jon D. Waldorf, named after the founders of the Statler and Waldorf hotels."" I checked and Statler and Waldrof hotels weren't founded by "Jon D Waldorf" or "Jason D Statler" but by Ellsworth Milton Statler and the Waldorf-Astoria cousins, Willaim and John Jacob... No single Jason, no single D as a middle name. This needs quotations, justifications, etc.Undead Herle King 12:18, 29 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Too many quotes

The quotes section is really too long - a couple of the best should be selected with the rest being transwikied to Wikiquote. Thryduulf 15:54, 20 April 2006 (UTC)

That's a good idea. One of my favorite Statler & Waldorf quotes is:

• -I think Gonzo should quit while he's ahead.

-Gonzo should quit while he's alive!

-Ho ho ho ho ho!

I could imagine them saying the same thing about David Blaine. Chris 17:21, 17 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] quote explanation

• - Ah that's nothing, anyone can drop their pants

- I didn't know you were Lithuanian

What the heck does that mean?

Seconded. For reference, the quote was added by 85.220.107.98 on 22 August 2006; this was the only edit from that IP address, and also added "better get out your old army uniform" (which I don't get either) and "Where is the land of the rising sun?" (which I do, and which sounds like just the sort of joke S&W would crack). Emurphy42 15:07, 25 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Quotes?

Where are all the quotes? They have been deleted from the site and they are not in Wikiquote. When will they appear there? Oh and a good advice:

Give Statler and Waldorf their own page on Wikiquote with a link to the Muppet Show.

[edit] Trading Places

The first time I saw the movie Trading Places I was struck by how Randolph and Mortimer Duke (played by Ralph Bellamy and Don Ameche) resembled Statler and Waldorf. Or rather, Statler and Waldorf could serve as caricatures of Randolph and Mortimer. They even sound similar. I know it's coincidental; after all, he casting director of Trading Places didn't pick those two guys for their resemblance to the Muppet duo... or did they? Anyone else notice this? Or is this original research on my part? -209.225.225.89 23:11, 10 September 2007 (UTC)

This article has been renamed from Statler & Waldorf to Statler and Waldorf as the result of a move request.

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:StatlerAndWaldorf.jpg

Image:StatlerAndWaldorf.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
