Plot

The basic plot to each show is the brothers undertaking some sort of job, task or adventure. They are often employed by a character known as No Slacking, who is always played by the brothers' real-life brother, Jimmy Patton. No Slacking is meant to be a different character in every episode he appears in; however, he is always known by this name owing to the catchphrase he always says to get the bumbling brothers to work properly. No Slacking usually appears several times in each series, and in each episode his life is either ruined or otherwise inconvenienced by Paul and Barry. A large amount of the comedy is based on slapstick. Jimmy Patton(born September 29, 1933) was a defensive back in the NFL for the New York Giants. ... For other uses, see Slapstick (disambiguation). ...

However, on occasion, the jobs they carry out can be somewhat surreal, or can put them in surreal circumstances. Once, they babysat for a boy who got out of his bed, leaving a football on his pillow, leading them to believe that his head had come off. On another occasion they were scheduled to entertain a wealthy family, only to walk into a bedroom and find a rhinoceros, which they accidentally stole. Look up Football in Wiktionary, the free dictionary. ... For other uses, see Rhinoceros (disambiguation). ...

The duo also often carry out jobs and tasks given to them by "Dan the Van", who is never seen, except in one episode where the Chuckle brothers decide it upon them to make sure he arrives to the special meeting. However, Dan the Van's face cannot be seen, as he is covered in bandages all over, and wearing dark shades. In another episode we meet Dan's mother Lettuce the Van.

Their other real brother, Brian Patton, (who is a double act with Jimmy, The Patton Brothers) has appeared on and off since 1995. His character can often be heard to say "Get out of it" or "I may have misjudged you". The Patton Brothers, Jimmy and Brian, are the two elder brothers of Paul and Barry Chuckle, The Chuckle Brothers. ... Year 1995 (MCMXCV) was a common year starting on Sunday. ...

Characteristics

Paul is the dominant of the two; it's often due to his blind confidence that the two end up in bother. When he realises he has made a mistake, he often blames Barry and also tends to make Barry do the hard work and takes the credit for himself. However, by the end, poetic justice is usually done and if either brother is to come out on top at the end of the episode, it will invariably be Barry. However, this war between the brothers only happens in about half the episodes. The classic episodes of the show often ended with the brothers running away from some angered third party they had been trying to help. Poetic Justice is a 1993 drama/romance film starring Janet Jackson, Tupac Shakur, Regina King and Joe Torry. ... In a two-party system a third party is a party other than the two dominant ones. ...

Since the 2002 series during the end credits, outtakes and goofs are usually shown. Also see: 2002 (number). ... An outtake can be a take or scene, as of a movie, or a television program, that is filmed but not used in the final cut, usually for pacing reasons. ... Set in the 18th century, this scene in The Adventures of Baron Munchausen features a member of the film crew on the right wearing a black jacket. ...

Vehicles

The Chuckmobile - The brothers' main mode of transport. It is a quadricycle with a red and white striped roof. Barry is usually relegated to driving, while Paul puts his feet up on the front bar. The Number plate is Chuckle1, in other several episodes, the car is often the train-like object which pulls the object behind; it has rarely been seen in the new episodes. A modern touring quadricycle - a 2007 model Rhoades Car 4W2PCP Coupe two seater Rhombus layout quadricycle (1886) Coventry Rotary quadricycle (1885) A Quadricycle is a four-wheeled human-powered vehicle. ...

Film

A feature length Christmas episode was originally scheduled for December 2001, which would last a whole hour and a half. However plans for the episode were scrapped after Barry became the victim of the tabloids in a high profiled drug row.
