90s Trivia: What are the name of the robbers in Home Alone?

If you grew up in the 90s, you probably saw Home Alone.  Starring Macaulay Culkin as the clever kid who gets left home alone when his parents go on a Christmas vacation, the movie was a smash success and to this day is the highest grossing live-action comedy of all time.  If you say you don't remember the scene where the criminals break-in, I'll call you a liar (as a seven year old, this movie exposed me to the hysterical phenomenon of grown men getting hit in the crotch).

It is the criminals that are the subject of today's question.  Joe Pesci and Daniel Stern starred as the bumbling thieves who broke into homes while their unsuspecting owners were on vacation.  So, off of Pocket Trivia: 90s Trivia - What is the name of these robbers?  Is it The Weak Sweeps, the Road Runners, the Bugaloos or The Wet Bandits?







It's the Wet Bandits, so named because Stern would stop up all the drains in the sink and flood the house.  I always thought that was a dumb idea, since it would identify their crimes...oh, right, it's a movie.  Never mind.
