answer: Laurel and Hardy
context: Title: Wackiki Wabbit
  Passage: Wackiki Wabbit is a 1943 Warner Bros. Merrie Melodies cartoon, starring Bugs Bunny.  It was written by Tedd Pierce and directed by Chuck Jones.  Voices were provided by Mel Blanc (Bugs), Tedd Pierce (the tall, thin man), and Michael Maltese (the short, fat man - the two men's appearances are rough caricatures of the actual men).  The musical score was conducted by Carl Stalling.
  Title: Fat Man and Little Boy
  Passage: Fat Man and Little Boy (a.k.a. Shadow Makers in the UK) is a 1989 film that reenacts the Manhattan Project, the secret Allied endeavor to develop the first nuclear weapons during World War II.  The film is named after the weapons "Little Boy" and "Fat Man" that were detonated over Hiroshima and Nagasaki, respectively.  The code names, originally Fat Man and Thin Man, were drawn from characters in the works of Dashiell Hammett.  However, there's a possible secondary allusion to stout project director Gen. Leslie Groves and the slim scientific director, Dr. J. Robert Oppenheimer.  The film focuses much attention on the frequently strained relationship between the two men.
  Title: 596 (nuclear test)
  Passage: 596, originally named by the US intelligence agencies Chic-1, is the codename of the People's Republic of China's first nuclear weapons test, detonated on October 16, 1964, at the Lop Nur test site.  It was a uranium-235 implosion fission device made from weapons-grade uranium (U-235) enriched in a gaseous diffusion plant in Lanzhou.  The bomb had a yield of 22 kilotons, comparable to the Soviet Union's first nuclear bomb RDS-1 in 1949 and the American Fat Man bomb dropped on Nagasaki, Japan in 1945.  With the test, China became the fifth nuclear power.  This was the first of 45 total nuclear tests China has conducted to date, all of which occurred at the Lop Nur test site.

  Title: Laurel and Hardy
  Passage: Laurel and Hardy were a comedy double act during the early Classical Hollywood era of American cinema.  The team was composed of English thin man Stan Laurel (1890–1965) and American fat man Oliver Hardy (1892–1957).  They became well known during the late 1920s through the mid-1940s for their slapstick comedy, with Laurel playing the clumsy and childlike friend of the pompous bully Hardy.  The duo's signature tune is known variously as "The Cuckoo Song", "Ku-Ku", or "The Dance of the Cuckoos".  It was played over the opening credits of their films and has become as emblematic of the duo as their bowler hats.
