Feud Episode: Difference between revisions

''Don't leave me, I'm sorry''

''I'll fix this if it costs me my life''

 

A type of episode where two characters suddenly start feuding with each other, either over a minor matter that gets blown out of proportion, or sometimes [[Conflict Ball|for seemingly no reason at all]]. Sometimes, another character will try to get the two feuding characters to make up by putting together some sort of crazy scheme, but there is actually a 90% chance that the scheme will fail. In the end, the two characters will invariably put behind their silly feud to help their friends in some kind of trouble. [[An Aesop]] about putting behind your troubles usually will soon follow afterward.

 

Compare [[Achilles in His Tent]]. Contrast [[Isolation Despondency]].

== Anime and Manga ==

* There was an episode of the [[Little Lulu (anime)|Little Lulu]] anime where Tubby and Willy were feuding against each other every time they met up with each other. {{spoiler|The reason they were feuding was because the indian chief suits that they bought at the store looked exactly alike}}, which was what ignited their feud in the first place. Even more insightful that the episode itself was based on a ''Little Lulu'' comic that had nearly the same plot.

* One episode of [[Rugrats]] was about a feud between Stu & Didi and Betty & Howard.

** "Farewell, My Friend", formerly the [[Trope Namer]] (with Tommy and Chuckie).

* There was also an episode of ''[[Dragon Tales]]'' where Max and Ord began fighting with each other about which color to use for the castles they were making whilst pretending to be kings. Eventually, [[My God, What Have I Done?|they begin lamenting]] about how they're going to stop fighting. In the end, they solve the problem by combining their preferred colors to make one big castle.

* ''[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic|My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic]]'' has several episodes like this:

* The very first episode of ''[[Teen Titans (animation)|Teen Titans]]'' has this between Robin and Cyborg.

* In ''[[The Problem Solverz]]'' episode "Breakfast Warz", Alfe and Roba fight over who gets the new science officer position, and Horace has to keep mediating between them because "fighting is never the answer."

** "Get Sam Donaldson's Mystery Bag!"

** Sniz and Fondue did this on more than one occasion, however in this case they're brothers (or are they roommates? Sniz's last name is Brankowski and Fondue IS his last name (his first name is Squeaky), but they could be stepbrothers...)

** In "Honesty" (1998), Zach is mad at Annie for not letting him pay her fifteen dollars, so they argue for a while until Annie decides to write a trustworthy letter to him.

** At the beginning of "Integrity" (1998), Zach lies in the class by telling them [[Critical Research Failure|his dad's Egyptian replica]] of a school report he's taking, which makes Annie so furious at him.

* ''[[Hey Arnold!]]!'', "Part-Time Friends" (with Arnold and Gerald: Gerald has been made the temporary boss at a flower shop, and has been bossing Arnold around) and "Best Friends" (with Rhonda and Nadine: Rhonda loves fashion, Nadine loves bugs, they're picked together for a group project, but don't like the other girl's interest).

* ''[[The Weekenders]]'', "Taking Sides" (with Tino and Carver: Carver has just called Tino a wuss because Tino didn't like Carver's attempt at an off-the-wall, literally, poolshot... well, it meant the diff between winning and losing the game, so Tino had a good reason).

* ''[[All Grown Up!]]!'', "It's Cupid Stupid" (with Tommy and Chuckie, and Kimi and Susie: the side effect of a [[Love Triangle]] or two).
