Rebo and Zooty
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Rebo and Zooty are a fictional comedy duo on the television show Babylon 5. They were played by Penn and Teller in the episode "Day of the Dead" which is episode 8 of B5's fifth and final season. However the names "Rebo and Zooty" had been mentioned a few times in earlier episodes, though they had not be shown up to this point. Penn is "Rebo" and Teller is "Zooty". The two are very popular among the human population of the station as well as many of the aliens. The duo admit to having studied the humor of many species, including the Minbari.
In keeping with Teller's character, Zooty does not talk throughout the episode; however, he has a walking stick with a device mounted on the top, which sometimes makes comments. Although Rebo and Zooty do not perform during the episode, apparently there is a running gag as part of their act, the punchline of which is, "Zoot Zooty! Zoot! Zoot!", which the fans find hilarious.
