* Androids 17 and 18 from ''[[Dragonball Z]]'' are a more subtle version of this. 17 is portrayed as wild and fun-loving (at least as far as androids go), while 18 is pragmatic and critical of 17's sacrifices of efficiency in the name of fun.
** Interestingly enough they weren't particularly evil in the main timeline. In the original timeline that Trunks came from they were both mass-murdering [[Complete Monster
* Most of the Akatsuki partners in ''[[Naruto]]'' are constructed along these lines, with one partner being cold and focussed, and the other a raving lunatic. Examples include [[Master of Illusion|Itachi]] (a [[The Stoic|Stoic]] badass who [[The Quiet One|barely talks]]) and [[BFS|Kisame]] ([[Affably Evil]] [[Blood Knight]]), [[Religion of Evil|Hidan]] ([[Dumb Muscle]] [[Talkative Loon]]) and [[Only in It For the Money|Kakuzu]] ([[Genius Bruiser]] and [[The Strategist]]), and [[Break the Cutie|Sasori]] (icy [[People Puppets]] collector) and [[Faux Affably Evil|Deidara]] ([[Axe Crazy]] [[Mad Bomber]]). Pain and Konan avoid this; Zetsu, interestingly, does not, suffering from a split personality that gives him one calm half and one crazy one.
* In ''[[Shakugan no Shana]]'', Crimson Denizens of Bal Masque usually work in

* The combination of Emperor Gestahl and Kefka in ''[[Final Fantasy VI]]'' show that things can ''really'' get out of hand when {{spoiler|the Id murders the Superego.}}
* {{spoiler|Gilgamesh and Kotomine Kirei}} from ''[[Fate/stay night|Fate Stay Night]]''. {{spoiler|Gilgamesh}} wants to conquer the world so he can rule over it {{spoiler|like he did in ancient Mesopotamia}}, while {{spoiler|Kirei}} just wants to inflict the maximum amount of suffering and death that he can upon humanity for [[For the Evulz|his own amusement]]. These would seem mutually exclusive, but 'luckily' {{spoiler|Gil}} has decided that the majority of humanity isn't worthy to be ruled over and has no problem with wiping out most of the 'mongrels'.
** The prequel ''Fate/zero'' has the master Uryuu Ryuunosuke and his Servant Bluebeard. Both are [[Serial Killer

Line 51:
* ''[[Invader Zim]]'' and GIR. Zim is an oblivious megalomaniac whose plans are usually doomed from the get-go. GIR is a childish [[Cloudcuckoolander]] with no attention span.
** But that's OK because GIR has waffles and pretty girls to take him to raves. Zim really has no friends other than GIR.
** Another example of an
* Dick Dastardly and Muttley from ''[[Wacky Races]]'' and ''[[Dastardly and Muttley in Their Flying Machines]]''.
* ''[[Pinky and The Brain]]'' are a borderline example because A) Pinky is not evil, just too stupid to recognize it, and B) the Brain is more competent that most of the other examples. Then again, he is a lab mouse trying to take over the world, so maybe he does fit.
