Those aren't bad guys though. (Okay, that's debatable for Jerry and George.) They're also not henchmen.

Incidentally, I just showed my teenager Laurel and Hardy's The Music Box. She loved it. So I agree with the 'tried and true' part.

not bad guys, but comedy duos... which is usually the case for the henchmen; one's big and dumb, and ones thin and smarter.

oh also penn and teller! though penn lost a lot of weight but he's tall af so he's always gonna be heavier than teller.

It's more bulky vs. wiry, but you could also include Walter Mathau and Jack Lemmon.

Steven Fry and Hugh Laurie

David Mitchell and Robert Webb
