The Wheezer Bros.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Wheezer Bros. is an animated series supposedly aimed at young adults created by animator Jon H. Rexel. It was about Hungarian-born Wenger Doufybutox (Skoota as he likes to be called) immigrating to America to live with his cousins, quiet, troubled Ralf and estranged, idiotic Stinky (real name Jeremy) Wheezer, in which the bizarre and nonsensical occurs. The animation was produced by Mystic Pieces and the voices were provided by Mike Jennings. The series was originally shown in 1995 and was cancelled in 2001, which left several episodes to air in its' last year. The rest were finally shown three years later, when news was revealed that NBC has ordered 33 new episodes in celebration of the show's tenth anniversary.

[edit] The Brothers
Wenger "Skoota" Doufybutox: A sarcastic, arrogant, witty immigrant from Hungary. Was raised by an army general and his wife until he was forced to live in the United States. The apparent cousin of Ralf and Stinky.
Ralf Wheezer: The calm and intelligent one of the trio, but their antics often drive Ralf mad. His favourite hobby is inventing things.
Jeremy "Stinky" Wheezer: Ralf's younger brother. Probably the most dumbest human on the planet, but is a very good performer.
[edit] Supporting Characters
Charles Badguy: Comic book store owner who likes to torment and poke fun at the brothers, even after they caused him to get fired from his job in "A Store Too Far".
Ricky McCool: Popular TV show host. Plays a variety of different characters throughout the series (i.e. con man, bus driver).
Toilet Plunger Man: Comic book superhero who got his powers from a radioactive toilet plunger. He also has his own TV show and has appeared as a real character in "To Wheezer Or Wheezer Not" and "Toilet Humour".
The Pixies: Creatures who live in the Wheezers' basement. Their leader is called Walnut.
General Ponko Doufybutox: Insane army general/father of Skoota who created the concept of the Enormous Hungarian Stink Bomb. He and his wife Bob are currently serving in The Lousy Bums Penitentiary in Hungary.
Great Uncle Poophead: Deceased uncle of Ralf and Skoota.
Blongo X4: Stressed alien who tried to conquer the world with fried cheese in "Unintelligent Life".
Screaming Lady: A minor character who likes to scream whenever something good or bad happens. Her scream was provided by creator Jon H. Rexel.

- "Skoota Goes Green" was originally due to be shown with "Avest Ye Wheezers" on November 7th. However, it was paired with "Sittin' Pretty" the week earlier, which was originally due to broadcast with "Toilet Plunger Man Vs. The Doo-Doo Dodo". Reasons for this are unknown, but some fans speculate the two were shown together because, since it was October 31, both of the episodes feature horror references.
