 Lucas Bros. Moving Co. is an animated television series created by twins Kenny and Keith Lucas of " The Lucas Brothers " , a Brooklyn @-@ based comedy duo . The series , featuring the voices of the twins as their animated counterparts , originally had them working as installers for a cable company , a job which the Lucas brothers occupied in real life . This idea was scrapped according to Keith , who felt the premise too close to that of the The Cleveland Show , another animated series aired by Fox . Kenny insisted that " moving was just more Brooklyn " , a sentiment which Keith echoed , thinking that " it would be funny if we were movers because we 've never moved a thing in our lives and we 're so fucking weak and we hate physical labor " . Keith complemented the nature of the premise , finding it to be flexible with any character or setting .
