Harry and Marv (Home Alone 1 & 2)

Marvin "Marv" Merchants' (Daniel Stern)  and Harold "Harry" Lime' (Joe Pesci) are the titular antagonists to Kevin in ' and ,'' who attempt robbing his house or chasing after him after Kevin's family had already left and had gone to Paris (Miami in the 1992 sequel).

Why They Rock

 * 1) They serve as a perfectly enjoyable foil to Kevin by being villainous comic-reliefs we laugh at because of their sheer ineptitude, meanwhile Kevin is a young and snarky yet guileful and heroic trickster we root for.
 * 2) Despite Harry also being a bumbling fool of a criminal along with Marv, he was pragmatic enough to present and disguise himself as a publicly protective officer in Home Alone 1 so nobody would be suspicious about the underhanded & devious activities he does with Marv at night.
 * 3) * Especially where Harry established how he has some stealthy tactics with keeping the neighborhood safe and quiet enough to raise no suspicion around them by not causing any notable problems (e.g telling Marv how a house they were robbing shouldn't be flooded in Home Alone 1), being the brains of the duo.
 * 4) With that said, Marv and Harry make up a perfect relationship in crime.
 * 5) Like Patrick Star: Marv may be dumb, but he presents his idiocy hilariously.
 * 6) Just like the titular trio from Ed, Edd, N Eddy: These two are gods of durability.
 * 7) * Speaking of which, Marv and Harry's slapstick humor pays an evident homage to The Three Stooges.
 * 8) These two have had the most timeless and memorably hilarious scenes because of their slapstick-induced buffooneries. These include the scene where Harry and Marv got deceived yet questioning each other's appearances aside before going after Kevin and the scene with Buzz's spider Axl on Marv's nose.
 * 9) They have the most memorable and funniest lines throughout both movies.
 * 10) With that said, Daniel Sterns and Joe Pesci did an excellent job at portraying their characters.
 * 11) Marv and Harry may be comically and hilariously incompetent crooks, but they have had their moments of imposing a credible threat towards Kevin in both movies, especially in the second movie. This scene in particular, was where they had a moment of briefly outsmarting some of Kevin's plans.

Bad Qualities

 * 1) In Home Alone 2, they are still comedic villains that comically if typically fail at their plans out of sheer incompetence, but they had become more of a punching bag than ever before, especially when it came to Kevin's over-exaggerated plans to outsmart them and The Pigeon Lady torturing them at the end.
 * 2) * In which Marv also became dumber than in the first movie, which is somewhat understandable from all of those head injuries he sustained in the first film (and/or additional head injuries he might have sustained in prison). That scene where Marv was also thrown rocks at by Kevin would make this more believable.
 * 3) * Marv had also received the worst of the slapstick violence than Harry had, and even more so than he did in the first movie.
 * 4) Like Sylvester: Their rivalry with Kevin can be repetitive in Home Alone 2.
 * 5) Also, Like Wile E Coyote: The constant, running gag of Marv and Harry's sheer ineptitude at their rivalry with Kevin or anything unrelated to that can get a bit stale in Home Alone 2, in a way of the "beating a dead horse" category at times since we already know how incompetent they are.

Trivia

 * Many doctors in their reactions to both movies (such as the doctors featured in DistractifyYT) had pointed out how painful and how much treatment these two would've been actually had in real-life aside from their durability.
 * The clownish, cartoonish yet impactful slapstick they were inflicted onto in Home Alone 1 was so memorable, many YouTubers such as Corridor Crew, Fame Focus, and Vsauce3 actually tested how realistic the injuries would've been like on professionally made dummies and other supplies. This video is a prime example out of the many.
