Line 606:
* In ''[[The Fairly OddParents]]'' "Wishology" trilogy, all of Timmy's friends and allies except for Mark are captured. Needing help, he recruits [[Ax Crazy|Vicky]], [[Evil Teacher|Crocker]], and [[Galactic Conqueror|Dark Laser]] to battle the Darkness. He needs to offer them something: 20 dollars, a look at his fairies, and an opportunity to destroy him when it's over, respectively.
* Happened several times on ''[[Gargoyles]]''. David Xanatos is such a [[Magnificent Bastard]] that the Manhattan Clan always suspected they were being used. Occasionally they were wrong.
* ''[[The Simpsons (animation)|The Simpsons]]''
** Bart and Lisa
** While not quite an ''enemy mine'' per se, they also had some help from Sideshow Bob in identifying the real culprit of Homer's kidnapping in "Wedding for Disaster" {{spoiler|it was Patty and Selma Bouvier, the latter of whom was ironically a former near-victim of Sideshow Bob.}}
** [[Show Within a Show]] example, Itchy and Scratchy do this a few times:
*** As early as "Itchy & Scratchy & Marge" (not the first appearance of the show, but the first time they were important) they stopped fighting in order to get rid of an annoying squirrel, that the writer had purposely designed to look like Marge. (Marge wasn't amused.)
*** In "Reservoir Cats", they started with a parody of the torture scene from ''[[Pulp Fiction]]'', until it was interrupted by [[Quentin Tarantino]] himself; the duo stopped fighting to turn against Tarantino.
*** In "Treehouse of Horror IX", Bart and Lisa are drawn into one of the duo's cartoons; unfortunately for them, when Itchy and Scratchy can ''hear'' them laughing the gory cartoon violence, [[Dude, Not Funny| they think it's mean]], and decide to stop fighting in order to turn on Bart and Lisa.
* In ''[[Star Wars: The Clone Wars|Star Wars the Clone Wars]]'', as part of the Nightsister trilogy, Asajj Ventress is betrayed by Dooku. Seeking vengeance, she recruits none other than {{spoiler|Darth Maul's brother}}, Savage Opress, to infiltrate Dooku's inner circle as his new apprentice and ultimately assassinate him. However, in so doing, she forces him to kill his own brother as a demonstration of his loyalty and rage and then proceeds to treat him just as badly as Dooku treated her that Savage's loyalty to Ventress is only held together via brainwashing techniques and Savage's mutual hatred of Dooku, manifested after Dooku ceaselessly tortures him with force lightning.
** This finally results in the ultimate battle, in which Asajj and Savage finally team up to bring down Dooku. However, during the battle, Asajj callously makes it apparent that Savage is really just her pawn, causing him to furiously force choke Dooku ''and'' her, which in turn causes them to briefly ally against him before [[Chronic Backstabbing Disorder|turning on each other again]]. Then there's the fact that Anakin and Obi-Wan, the Jedi sent to pursue Savage following his brutal rampage on Devaron, and the Separatist Droid Army unwittingly aid each other in battling Savage following Ventress' escape from the battle. {{spoiler|His subsequent escape and quest to find his long-lost brother and former Sith apprentice Darth Maul to aid him in his quest for vengeance against Dooku, Ventress, the Jedi, etc., etc., etc., should prove to yield even more conflicting loyalties when those upcoming episode(s) finally air}}.
