{{quote|'''[[Only Sane Man|Mac]]''': [[Genki Girl|Goo]], I'm really sorry for what I said about you. You're not [[Cloudcuckoolander|weird]]. You're really creative and funny and nice, and if you're not too mad at me, I really wanna be your friend too.
''(Mac looks at Goo, and the camera zooms out fast to show her, now really happy.)''
'''Goo''': ''(excited)'' Okay! ''(Hugs and squeezes Mac)''
'''Mac''': [[Crowning Moment of Heartwarming|Okay...that's great]]...you're...crushing me.|'''[[Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends]],''' "Go Goo Go"}}
Line 13:
The girl tends to act like her IQ is low. In some cases, she can be smarter than the guy, but because she's too busy trying to have fun, this is occasional at most. Perhaps this is why she acts as a [[Morality Pet]] sometimes. Compare [[Good Is Dumb]], although she's more likely to merely be [[What the Hell, Hero?|calling out the savvy guy]] than be evil in her smart moments.
If the guy and the girl are in a romantic relationship, the girl may also be a [[Manic Pixie Dream Girl]]. If this girl is living with several savvy guys, she's likely a [[Nerd Nanny]].
Compare [[Perky Female Minion]], [[Uptight Loves Wild]], and [[Masculine Girl, Feminine Boy]]. For another couples trope based on personality, see [[Brooding Boy, Gentle Girl]].
Line 26:
* [[Tower of God]]: Yuri Zahard is a princess who does whatever she wants. Evan Edrok is a high ranker and and well-respected guide (also very short). She drags him to the bottom of the tower ([[World Building]] in a very literal sense) just to see a new irregular.
* ''[[Death Note]]'': Light Yagami and Misa Amane, but Light doesn't love Misa {{spoiler|except maybe when he is suffering from self-inflicted amnesia}}.
* ''[[Naruto]]'': Shikamaru and either of the girls he is most paired with fit this trope. Temari and Ino are both far more aggressive than he is. Both tell him to "man up" or push him to be stop being lazy.
* ''[[Flunk Punk Rumble]]'': Shinagawa and Adachi.
* ''[[Fruits Basket]]'': Kyou Sohma and Tohru Honda.
Line 36:
* ''[[Ef a Tale of Memories]]'': [[Reclusive Artist|Hirono Hiro]] and [[Attention Deficit Ooh Shiny|Miyamura Miyako]].
* ''[[Toradora!]]'': Ryuuji and Minorin. [[Your Mileage May Vary|A matter of opinion]] as Ryuuji seems more...HotBlooded. [[Shipping Wars|And then there are the fans]] of the [[Official Couple]] Ryuuji and Taiga....
* ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh!]]'': While they never go beyond subtext, since the series (especially the anime) thrives on [[Ship Tease]], Mahaado and his student Mana fit this trope quite well. About the only point missing is the [[Squishy Wizard]] status, since Mahaado is well trained both in magic and military arts.
* ''[[Kämpfer]]'': All the pairings Natsuru could possibly be involved in are this.
* ''[[Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha (anime)|Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha]]'': Season 1, Yuuno and Nanoha. Of course this gets shot down [[Subtext|when]] [[Les Yay|Fate]] [[Rescue Romance|comes]] [[Fanon|around]].
Line 42:
* ''[[Mobile Suit Gundam 00]]'''s Saji and Louise. {{spoiler|For most of season 1, anyway.}}
* ''[[MM!]]'': Taro and Mio (in above picture).
* [[Official Couple|Chrono and Rosette]] in ''[[Chrono Crusade]]'', although with a few slight variations. For one thing, Chrono is actually ''stronger'' than Rosette, but since their [[Deal with the Devil|contract]] means [[Cast
* So Touma and Kana Mizuhara from ''[[Q.E.D.]]''.
* Takagi and Miyoshi from ''[[Bakuman｡]]''
Line 49:
** Most of Rose's [[Rie Kugimiya|seiyuu's]] [[Tsundere]] roles fits this trope to a T.
* Shinya and Futaba at times, in ''[[Mitsudomoe]]''
* [[Obfuscating Stupidity|Kenshin]] and [[Tsundere|Kaoru]] from ''[[Rurouni Kenshin]]'' generally fit the description, [[The Stoic|Aoshi]] and [[Genki Girl|Misao]] even more so.
* A non-romantic version has Kirino and her brother Kyosuke from [[Ore no Imouto ga Konna ni Kawaii Wake ga Nai!|Ore Imo]]
* Ferris and Ryner from ''[[Den Yuu Den]]''
* Shino and Tsuda from ''[[Seitokai Yakuindomo]]''
* [[Yandere Kanojo]] has Manabu Tanaka, [[The Stoic|stoic par excellence]], dating [[Hot-Blooded]] [[Delinquent]] [[Tsundere]] Reina Ryuuzaki.
* [[Bleach|Ulquiorra Cifer and Orihime Inoue]] are pretty much one of the most twisted versions ''ever'' in anime, as he openly and actively tries to break Orihime's mind during her captivity {{spoiler|and ''succeeds'' when he kills Ichigo in front of her. She ultimately manages to get better, though.}}
** Orihime and either Ichigo or Ishida kinda fit as well, and so do Ichigo and Senna from the [[Non-Serial Movie|Non Serial Movies]].
** Kenpachi and Yachiru are sort-of father/daughter version.
Line 72:
* Carl and Ellie from ''[[Up (animation)|Up]]''
{{quote|"You know, you don't talk a lot." ''(beat)'' "I like you!"}}
* The first time Emily Friehl meets Oliver Martin in [[A Lot Like Love]] he tells her that in six years he plans to be settled and content in both life and career while she lives life by the moment.
* Dory and Marlin in ''[[Finding Nemo]]''.
* Buzz and Jessie from [[Toy Story (franchise)|Toy Story]] 2-onward.
* Flynn and Rapunzel, of ''[[Tangled]]''.
* Larry Daley and Amelia Earheart of [[Night at the Museum]]
Line 84:
* Raul and Aenea in ''[[Hyperion|Endymion]]''.
* Newt and Anathema in ''[[Good Omens]]''.
* Winterbourne and Daisy in ''[[Daisy Miller]]''
* Raven and Wendy in [[War of the Dreaming]].
* Jack Weyland's ''[[Charly]]'' has a Latter-day Saint BYU student, Sam, and his free-spirited non-Mormon love interest, Charly.
Line 106:
* ''[[Smallville]]'' features Clark Kent and Lois Lane in this role. Clark is more stoic and reserved, but tends to be a little clumsy, while Lois is an energetic talker who tends to be very outgoing most of the time. Of course, the 'a little clumsy' thing is, as always, so nobody'll connect Clark with the mysterious "[[Superman|red and blue blur]]" who goes around righting wrongs.
* ''[[She Wolf of London (TV series)|She Wolf of London]]'' (the 1990 TV series, not the 1964 film) features a male professor of mythology and a female werewolf.
* Red and Kitty, Hyde and Jackie on ''[[That '70s Show]]''.
* [[No Reservations|Anthony Bourdain]] went to South Korea. His assistant Nari Kye, who actually ''is'' from Korea and has several family members there, went with him [[Hilarity Ensues|Hilarity ensued.]]
* ''[[Radio Free Roscoe]]'': [[The Stoic|Travis]] and [[Cloudcuckoolander|Parker]] end up this way.
Line 132:
* [[The Strategist|Zhou Yu]] and [[Genki Girl|Xiao Qiao]] in ''[[Dynasty Warriors]]''.
** Exactly the other way round with the "Little Conqueror" Sun Ce and Da Qiao. Actually, Sun Ce - Zhou Yu and Da Qiao - Xiao Qiao also qualify (without actual pairing, of course).
* From ''[[Psychonauts]],'' [[Germanic Depressives|Sascha Nein]] ([[Gender Blender Name|that's the guy)]] and [[Disco Dan|Milla Vodello]], who are partners in the Psychonauts and [[Love Interest
* Reiji Arisu and Xiaomu from [[Namco X Capcom]].
* Two of the minor Masters participating in ''[[Fate Extra]]'''s Holy Grail War. Having entered as a couple on the girl's suggestion, they find the rules prevent them from becoming a [[Battle Couple]] as she originally planned. The boyfriend realizes the full implications of what they've gotten themselves into much sooner, while the girl remains cheerful, optimistic and sunny.
Line 142:
* More like Sarcastic Guy Energetic Girl, since he's not had too much experience, but Conrad and Toni from ''[[Hanna Is Not a Boy's Name]]'' count for their shippers.
* The two leads in ''[[A Miracle of Science]]''.
* Ardam and Tesla in ''[[Adventurers!]]'' Interestingly, Tesla is less [[Genki Girl]]-like (if only somewhat) when Ardam isn't present.
* Kristoph Gavin and Shirley Patton in [[Kristoph Gavin Ace Attorney]] could be considered this.
* Tedd and Grace from ''[[El Goonish Shive]]''.
Line 154:
== [[Western Animation]] ==
* ''[[Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends]]'': [[Ship Tease|Mac and Goo]], though they weren't ever actually dating.
* Zak and Wheezie in ''[[Dragon Tales]]''. Unfortunately for Zak, they happen to be literally joined at the hip.
* Henry and June in ''[[
* The [[Different As Night and Day]] twins Scooter and Skeeter in ''[[Muppet Babies]]''.
* [[Grumpy Bear]] when paired with pretty much ''any'' other [[Care Bears|Care Bear]]. Cheer Bear in particular.
