Friendly Enemy/Web Original
Examples of Friendly Enemies in Web Original include:
- Homestar Runner and Strong Bad evolved from generic enemies to this trope, and finally to Vitriolic Best Buds.
- There was also the time Blue Laser invited the Cheat Commandos over for Thanksgiving dinner (except the overzealous Gunhaver).
- Strong Bad is this in relation to Homestar, Strong Sad, and The Cheat. He's a bit harsher on Strong Sad, and quite a bit friendlier to The Cheat, but all of the relationships have a bit of friend and a bit of enemy in them (usually on Strong Bad's part).
- Caboose from Red vs. Blue is generally a very nice guy, even to the Reds, even when they attempt to kill him. The reason for this is because he's not too bright. The Reds themselves don't capitalize on this, though it's debatable whether this is due to them being friendly, or them not being brilliant tacticians either.

Caboose: Hey Simmons. Um, are you guys coming to attack me? Um, because I'm kinda busy right now. Do you think you could attack me later maybe, like, uh, like next week? |

- At this point, pretty much all of them are Friendly Enemies. Especially now that it's been revealed that Blood Gulch was just a training ground for the Freelancers, and they weren't really at war.
- The Lord of Angels and Demons is becoming this to the Fellowship of The Questport Chronicles. It doesn't hurt that his plans are getting steadily easier to foil.
