Compare [[Future Me Scares Me]] and [[I Hate Past Me]].

== [[Comic Books]] ==

* In ''[[Hero Squared]]'' the "normal" Milo is quite annoyed with the Superhero version of himself from another universe (Captain Valor), and vice versa. Valor is less-than-impressed with Milo's selfishness and complete failure to make anything of his life, whilst Milo resents Valor's smug self-righteousness and over-simplified view of the world and how it works.

* ''[[The Authority]]:'' while crossing over to a [[Gender Flipped]] [[Alternate Universe]] to talk to their counterparts, Jack Hawksmoor's equivalent is visibly pregnant. When asked about how he feels to see himself female and pregnant, he responds that he doesn't want to find out who the father is.

* [[Marvel Comics]]: In the ''[[Identity Wars]]'' miniseries [[Deadpool]], [[Spider Man]] and [[The Hulk]] cross over into an alternate dimension. Spider-Man's alternate version is a [[Well Intentioned Extremist]], which annoys Spidey. Deadpool gets along famously with his alternate until he discovers that alt-Deadpool isn't Wade Wilson, it's {{spoiler|Victor Von Doom}}. Alt-Wade Wilson is a [[Complete Monster]] [[Big Bad]] who Deadpool takes down. Bruce Banner discovers that he can't turn into the Hulk in this dimension and is overjoyed, until that gets reversed. Then alt-Hulk and Hulk duke it out.

** One nice example involving Deadpool has him inventing an imaginary version of himself (aka, he willed himself into having a split personality) while trapped inside a room for over 800 years (long story). Why did he do this? To have someone to play hangman with of course. His plan fails when the imaginary Deadpool turns out to be a genius and starts totally kicking Deadpool's ass in the game.

* In one Disney comic, [[Donald Duck]]'s friends and family force him to spend 24 hours with a duplicate of himself, to show him how annoying he is.

* Calvin of ''[[Calvin and Hobbes]]'' has had this problem, because he takes [[~~Its~~ All About Me]] so far that it becomes "it's all about ''this'' me."

* Calvin of ''[[Calvin and Hobbes]]'' has had this problem, because he takes [[It's All About Me]] so far that it becomes "it's all about ''this'' me."

** In one story arc, Calvin makes a clone of himself to do his chores for him, but the clone blows him off and goes to play instead. When Hobbes comments that "he's a clone of you all right", Calvin responds "What do you mean? ''This'' guy's a total ''jerk!''"

** When he makes a copy of only his ''good'' side, it works out at first because this one is willing to do all the work, but eventually they come to blows over whether they should be nice to Susie, whom the good side openly admits to having a crush on.

Line 77:

* In ''[[Batman Beyond]],'' Terry takes Bruce to see Batman: The Musical for his birthday. Terry finds the jolly, musical Batman to be great fun. Bruce is... not impressed.

* ''[[Code Lyoko]]'', oh so many times. If you want comedic examples only, I still have them in spades. The most notable is in Triple Trouble, when Odd is split into three. They fight over who gets to go to lunch, and who has to go to PE class. They also ruin a joke by inadvertently repeating it. Another example is in X.A.N.A.'s Kiss. Odd complains to the clone he's fighting, telling it that if it's going to keep changing form, it should turn into a wimp next time. Its next form: Odd. In Revelation, another Polymorphic clone pulls a similar move on Ulrich, this time for strategy rather than mockery.

* ''[[Futurama]]'' has the main characters travel to an alternate dimension where the characters meet their counterparts and find them annoying despite being almost identical. Except for Bender, who being an [[~~Its~~ All About Me|egomaniac]] gets along with his counterpart just fine. The others eventually warm up to their duplicates, too.

** Then there was that time they went to the end of the universe and looked across to see their alternate, cowboy hat-wearing selves. Bender got tired of his alternate self flaunting the hat and decided to leave.

* In ''[[Turtles Forever]]'', this is the [[Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2003 (Animation)|2003!Turtles's]] (Especially Raphael and except for Michelangelo) reaction towards the [[Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 1987 (Animation)|80s!Turtles]], who are much sillier and less serious in comparison. This is taken [[Up to Eleven]] with the [[Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Mirage (Comic Book)|Mirage!Turtles]], whose immediate reaction to seeing ''both'' versions is Kill-On-Sight.
