I'm pretty sure they're just comic relief/side characters...but it doesn't bode well for the film if they have to over-use those characters (ie, Disney must think they're the only good thing in the movie).
The McKenzie Bros. movie was weak, but the comedy album they did was a riot! They were regular characters on the original Sat. Night live era.
As for cultural anachronisms, Disney and Dreamworks have been using it to death ever since "Alladin" and Robin Williams. Bleah. Funny sometimes...but ONLY sometimes!
