Marley?
from Wiki:
In the 1992 movie The Muppet Christmas Carol, the character is bifurcated into two brothers named Jacob and Robert so that they can be played by Statler and Waldorf. The joke is that Jacob Marley has a brother named Bob - as in reggae singer Bob Marley. They sing the number 'Marley and Marley' where they lament their suffering and warn Scrooge of what he will face.
