Mediation Backfire: Difference between revisions

== [[Anime]] and [[Manga]] ==

* As Revy and Roberta are beating the nine hells out of each other in ''[[Black Lagoon]]'', Rock gets the bright idea to try to get them to talk about their problems. Being as both of them are in full-on violent mode, the response from the two is unsurprising:

* ''[[Ranma ½|Ranma 1/2]]'': When Gosunkugi gets ahold of paper dolls capable of controlling anyone he wishes, he tries to use this opportunity to win Akane's heart. Unfortunately, after he test-drives a few of his dolls on Ranma to see if they actually work, Ranma's suspicions are raised to the point where he openly confronts him about it. Akane immediately rushes to Gosunkugi's defence and our two opposing sides begin to bicker.

'''Akane:''' This is between me and Ranma! }}

* In the ''[[Azumanga Daioh]]'' comic strip, [[Kindhearted Cat Lover|Sakaki]] once sees two cats about to fight. She instantly rushes in to stop them, but since [[Animals Hate Him|the affection is pretty much one-sided]] [[The Woobie|on Sakaki's part]], they both settle for chomping her hands instead.

** Until Fran leaves the room.

* From ''[[Scrubs]]'' after JD intervenes in an argument between [[Slap Slap Kiss|Dr. Cox and Jordan]];

* In the ''[[Xena: Warrior Princess]]'' episode "Been There, Done That", Joxer attempts to invoke this trope in order to stop the feuding families. He gets a couple dozen arrows to his face for his trouble (but again, this being a [[Groundhog Day Loop]], he gets better).

* Played with on ''[[Frasier]]''; Frasier sits Roz and Julia down in the cafe to try to get them to make nice, and when they find common ground insulting him, he graciously leaves them to it. The moment he's gone, though, they both get up to leave, and are bickering again before they reach the door.

* ''Flame Warriors''' typically verbose description of forum users has this to say about the archetype they call Diplomat:

* Invoked by ED-tan in [http://www.gaiaonline.com/forum/gaia-community-projects/2k7-summer-plot-serious-business-part-2-complete/t.31360233/ this] user-created [[Gaia Online]] comic episode.
