The Smiths all look alike. Miller, who has a different name, also looks different. I don’t think it’s important what difference it is. Addams made him smaller, but I think it would have worked as well if he had been taller, bearded, or whatever.
I’ve seen and heard variations of this one. In an old Eddie Cantor movie, a character mentions a law firm called something like Goldfarb, Goldfarb, Smith, and Goldfarb. Cantor does a take and says “That Smith must be really something!”
Three Stooges – Goldstein, Goldberg, Goldblatt, and O’Brien:
In a vaguely-remembered Mister Magoo short, he threatens someone by saying “and my lawyers’ names are Batten, Barton, Burman, Borman, and Zerubbabel, and you’ll be hearing from all five of them in the morning!” It was a goof on the name of the long-standing advertising agency Batten, Barton, Durstine & Osborn.
Hungadunga, Hungadunga, Hungadunga, Hungadunga, and McCormack
You’ve left out a Hungadunga; you’ve left out the main one!
Don’t forget that wildly popular 60’s beat group The Mosquitoes–Bingo, Bango, Bongo and Irving.
Never made it out of Moderation, but the current New Yorker – online on in liberrys – is a Comics Takeover with a lot of the vintage stuff that we seem to like
And NOW I see that it did, indeed, make it out of moderation
What a drag it is getting old
“My wife had quadruplets!”
“What did you name them?”
“Eeny, Meeny, Miney and Herman.”
“Why Herman?”
“We don’t want no Moe!”
I still remember this from when I was very young. I got a set of molded plastic dinosaurs and cavemen. The names of the cavemen were Mimbo, Bimbo, and Sam.
Names of three people, two similar and the third odd, turn up in literature. Winken, Blinken and Nod. Shadrach, Meshach and Abnedego. Flora, Fauna and Merryweather from Disney’s “Sleeping Beauty.” Athos, Porthos and Aramis.

This group might care that the current issue of the New Yorker is a Cartoon Takeover that digs deep into their files.
