The other (Marlon) is a bit crazier, always coming up with a new idea or scheme.
The basic conceit is thin enough that it allows the two brothers to get up to just about any kind of shenanigans that they desire, doing everything from bringing Gary Coleman in (playing himself) to sell pomade to getting Sherman Hemsley to make them the supers of their building.
And Marlon definitely has the edge over his brother: Shawn holds his own fairly well, but anybody who can fly back and forth from making Dungeons and Dragons to work on Requiem for a Dream at the same time is a force to be reckoned with.

Damon and Marlon are funny together as two con artist brothers.
The Frankfurter line, the part when the hooker is booked, the part when Damon acts constipated in the deli, the part when Damon and Marlon pretend to be gay guys in a jewelery store, and the part when Damon and Marlon are in that up scale restaurant are all hilarious.
The Wayan Brothers tend to be more stupid than actually funny and this movie was just as expected.

 Amazon.co.uk: White Chicks: Video: Marlon Wayans,Shawn Wayans,Jaime King,Lochlyn Munro   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
When a kidnapping threat is held over two wealthy heiresses in the Hamptons, inept FBI agents Kevin (Marlon Wayans) and Marcus Copeland (Shawn Wayans), try to help out by disguising themselves as WHITE CHICKS in this wacky screwball comedy.
Director Keenen Ivory Wayans (SCARY MOVIE) manipulates his characters' flimsy attempts to pass themselves off as white women to provide plenty of gross-out, body-related humor, but also wraps the film up with a few salient lessons in life for the bumbling detectives.
The comedy comes from the expected sources; the guys trying to convince "their" friends that they are indeed the same girls they've spent every Hamptons summer with; how they deal with the men who fall in love with them; how they deal with the women they fall in love with!

 SPLICEDwire | "Scary Movie 2" review (2001) Keenen Ivory Wayans, Shawn Wayans, Marlon Wayans, Anna Faris, Regina Hall, ...
I surprised myself guffawing at the over-milked "Charlie's Angels" fight scene satire -- complete with wire work kung fu -- in which heroine Anna Faris (returning in the Neve Campbell-aped "Scream" role) and her girlfriends (Regina Hall, Kathleen Robertson) accidentally end up in their underwear.
There's a blink-and-you-miss it dig aimed exclusively at John Woo fans (doves fly gratuitously through a fight scene, a Woo trademark), a quick riff on "Silence of the Lambs" that has nothing whatsoever to do with Hannibal Lecter or Clarice Starling, and a slew of other amusingly unexpected references.
Once this set up is out of the way, the loosely ordered parade of sketch-style screwball set pieces begins in earnest, barely stopping long enough for people like me to notice how badly the picture is made.
