Lucy and Ricky

Lucy and Ricky refers to the fictional married couple from the 1950s television sitcom *I Love Lucy*—Lucy Ricardo, played by Lucille Ball, and her Cuban bandleader husband Ricky, played by Desi Arnaz.

The pair became cultural shorthand for a classic comedic marriage dynamic: the zany, scheming wife and the exasperated but loving husband.

They're like Lucy and Ricky—she's always cooking up some plan and he's always finding out.
