The (possibly?) gay couple that Hamlet is friends with in the play of the same name.
They are duped by Claudius into escorting Hamlet to England to be killed, but Hamlet escapes. Rosencrantz and Guildenstern then unwittingly meet the English King, and and hand him a letter instructing him to kill them both. They die. Nobody cares.
In the play, they always appear together, and seem to be entirely co-dependent. They have no real individual traits.
Despite the fact that they are fairly minor characters, they have a sort of cult status. Tom Stoppard wrote a famous play called "Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead", which tells the story of Hamlet from their perspective.

Rosencrantz and Guildenstern in Hamlet...
GUILDENSTERN
Which dreams indeed are ambition, for the very substance of the ambition is merely the shadow of a dream.
HAMLET
A dream itself is like a shadow.
ROSENCRANTZ
Truly, and I hold ambition of so airy and light a quality that it is but a shadow's shadow.

Get the rosencrantz and guildenstern mug.Rolen is a type of kid who, is sad, but doesn't show. Obsessed with many things and can be pretty nice. Normally a attractive but has many unnoticed flaws. Rolen is a lucky person to have, and very rare to his or her kind.

Get the Rolen mug.Something fake that tries to emulate something great, but fails miserably. A fugazi or knock-off, as in the fake Rolex (Rolecks) watches sold from blankets on 125th Street and Park Avenue in Manhattan by dudes wearing Dior shoes and big straw hats.
Everyone: "George W. Bush is a Rolecks Teddy Roosevelt. His brain stopped ticking way before he took a licking. Why'd we (re-)elect that guy?"
Guy in hat: "Hey man, wanna buy a Rolecks? Five dollars!"
Me: "Holy shit, there's a tree growing through the roof of that office building across the street!"
