Keystone Kops - replaced by Ford Sterling. Their first film was Hoffmeyer's Legacy (1912) but their popularity came from the 1913 feature The Bangville Police.

(famous examples?) The Keystone Kops also appear in the computer game NetHack, typically when the player steals from one of the shops. They are more dangerous than their cinematic inspiration however; they typically surround the player's character so escape is impossible, and then attack.
