{{quote|''"You boys made me have to apologize to Mrs. McClusky, my ''worst'' enemy."''
|'''Lynette''', ''[[Desperate Housewives]]''}}
The Sitcom Arch Nemesis is a very different creature from the dramatic or action-show [[Arch Enemy]]. He usually isn't dangerous or evil, for the most part he's just very annoying—sometimes he's actually a very nice guy. However benign or friendly he is, he just rubs a character from the show (usually the lead) entirely the wrong way, and the two will never miss an opportunity to have at each other. Often the character and his nemesis are kindred spirits and don't even realize it; these rivals are much more likely to have an [[Enemy Mine]] plot than dramatic rivals.
This character is almost never one of the main cast. Exceptions to that rule include Mimi, Drew's nemesis from ''[[The Drew Carey Show]]'', who is pretty much the second main character of the series; and Marcy from ''[[Married... with Children]]'', who started out as just an ultra-nice neighbour but wound up as Al's cackling nemesis. An all-purpose jerk along the lines of Frank Burns from ''[[M*A*S*H (television)|M*A*S*H]]'' doesn't count, since he's hated by everyone equally.

** France and England, so much that there's a "French-English Quarrel Preserve" and England gets involved in The War of the Austrian Succession just to fight France. It's said that antagonizing each other is the only thing that keeps the two old timers going, and of course, it's [[Truth in Television]].
** Greece and Turkey too, and in fact Turkey is the ''only'' thing that makes the usually laid-back Greece get riled up at all. Also, Hungary and Romania.

** A rare mutual form can be found in Yozora Mikazuki, a [[Tall, Dark and Bishoujo|brunette]] [[Jerkass]] extraordinaire, and Sena Kashiwazaki, a [[Ms. Fanservice|ridiculously hot]] [[Rich Bitch]]. Yozora loves heaping verbal, emotional or sometimes physical (by way of a flyswatter) abuse upon Sena until the latter [[Cry Cute|storms off crying]]; Sena in return loves showing off how rich, beautiful and hot (not to mention huge-breasted) she is compared to Yozora. But at the end of the day, both are [[Not So Different]], being friendless girls who tend to agree on anything they, ironically, are [[Comically Missing the Point]] on.
** To a lesser extent, Kobato Hasegawa, a 13-year-old [[Elegant Gothic Lolita]], and Maria Takayama, a [[Nuns Are Mikos|10-year-old nun]], who engage in outright childish fights over the attention of the former's older brother, Kodaka.
* The Evil Organization Florsheim from ''[[Astro Fighter Sunred]]'' are the sitcom arch nemesises of Sunred, who finds them all incredibly annoying for constantly picking fights with him. Florsheim, on their side, are [[Contractual Genre Blindness|Contractually Genre Blind]] and know that as an Evil Organization they must fight the superhero in order to [[Take Over the World]]... But they're ''really'' bad [[Harmless Villain|at the whole 'being villains' part]].

Line 33 ⟶ 31:
** Humorously, Blackguard was a recurring enemy of Booster's in his early solo career, but neither seems to remember each other.
* [[Donald Duck]] and his neighbor Jones (essentially a larger version of Donald).
* [[Deadpool]] and [[Squirrel Girl]] had this kind of relationship when the former hung around the [[Great Lakes Avengers]].
== [[Fan Works]] ==
* In ''[[Ultimate Sleepwalker|Ultimate Sleepwalker: The New Dreams]]'', Kenny Anderson has an unexplained hatred of [[John Kricfalusi]]. He's never said exactly why he hates John K, and his friends decide they're probably better off not knowing.
== Film ==
* In ''[[The Life Aquatic With Steve Zissou]]'', Steve perceives that he has a professional rivalry with Hennessy, but it's pretty obvious that in reality the former is simply bitter that the latter is a more successful oceanographer, the former husband of Steve's ex-wife and kind of a jerk.
* In ''[[Office Space]]'', Michael Bolton feels this way about Michael Bolton.
== Literature ==
* In the ''[[Discworld]]'' book ''[[
* In the first chapter of ''[[Lunar Park]]'', Bret (in a semi-fictionalized account of the author's real life) takes several personal shots at [[Keanu Reeves]].

** Jerry also had Kenny Bania although that was one sided as Jerry was Bania's idol.
** Likewise, George had Lloyd Braun, while Elaine had Sue Ellen, "The Bra-less Wonder".
** Kramer had FDR... Franklin Delano Romanowski.
** Unusually for a sitcom, a recurring character had an arch enemy. Jack Klompus was this to Jerry's father Morty.
* As the description says, [[The Drew Carey Show|Mimi]] and [[Married...
* In ''[[Frasier]]'', Frasier had Cam Winston. The two were virtually ''identical'' to each other, in that they were pompous, snooty, articulate egomaniacs. When they finally called a truce because they thought their parents were dating, their "treaty" included them agreeing to share grooming and personal care advice on features the other one had noticed.
* In ''[[News Radio]]'', Jimmy James had Johnny Johnson.
* In ''[[
* In ''[[Wizards of Waverly Place]]'', the [[Magnificent Bastard]] [[Anti-Hero|Alex Russo]] has [[Alpha Bitch|Gigi]].
* In ''[[Cheers]]'', Sam's nemesis was the rival bar "Gary's Old Town Tavern".
Line 61:
* ''[[Mr. Bean]]'' had his sadistic grudge against that blue Reliant Regal car.
** His diary features a similar relationship with the Man in Room #3 down the hall, told entirely through the notes that he leaves outside the door and Bean sticks in the book. They decide to bury the hatchet (literally!) on New Years Eve.
* ''[[
** That's what happens when a show has a [[Villain Protagonist]], Goes Forth arguably excepted.
* In ''[[Scrubs]]'', J.D. has the Janitor and, briefly, hotshot intern Keith.
Line 68:
* Mrs. McClusky on ''[[Desperate Housewives]]'' started out as this for Lynette, but ended up as a subversion as the two eventually came to understand each other as the series went on and formed something of a friendship.
** There's also Susan vs. Edie.
* In ''[[That
** Also, Mitch and his father are enemies of Eric and Red. This was a subversion of the "actually very nice" example, because, as they started losing battles, they revealed their problematic relationship. In later appearances, Mitch was reduced to a joke.
** Fez has [[Camp Gay|Fenton]].
** Eric's [[Really Gets Around|trampy sister Laurie]] served as the Arch Nemesis to no less than ''three'' characters in Jackie, Hyde and Eric himself.
* The 'perfect mother' Barb Valentine in ''[[The Mommies]]''.
* The UK version of ''[[The Office]]'' had Tim vs. Gareth. The US version has Michael against Toby and Dwight against Jim; in the former case, Toby looked upon Michael's "rivalry" with a measure of disbelief, and in the latter case, Jim uses it as an excuse to constantly pull pranks on Dwight. A somewhat more straightforward rivalry in the US version was Dwight vs. Andy, first when Andy attempted to usurp Dwight's position as Michael's favorite and later when both got involved in a love triangle with Angela. They have since become fairly good friends.
* In ''[[Grounded for Life]]'', Finnegan had O'Keefe as a nemesis. Their children were dating. Also, Finnegan's bar had "McGinty's".
* In the latter seasons of ''[[3rd Rock
* Jake "the Klingon" Klinger, rival plumber to Ben and sci-fi fanatic, in ''[[
* In ''[[How I Met Your Mother]]'' Ted has a big beef against the rival architecture collective "Sven."
** Also in season one, he has a one-sided rivalry with Robin's two main love interests - Sandy Rivers and Derek.
* On ''[[The Dick Van Dyke Show]]'' Buddy Sorell made every attempt to insult producer/ bald brother-in-law of the star Mel Coolley.
** It's also [[Lampshaded]] that their enmity is totally idiotic. Buddy's explanation for why he keeps making fun of Mel is "I do it 'cause I like to rib him! And..I sort of...hate him."
* Stan Sitwell to the [[Arrested Development (TV series)|Bluth Family]] in general, and George Sr. in specific. Subverted by the fact that he is a genuinely nice man who is largely oblivious to the extent of the Bluths' disdain for him, and that George dislikes him because he is in the same business and just as successful (without the need to resort to illegal practices), and his philanthropy makes the Bluths look bad. {{spoiler|George and Lucille even went so far as to adopt a daughter they didn't want (Lindsey) who Sitwell was trying to adopt, purely to spite him}}.
** Lucille also had Lucille 2, her very nice neighbor who wanted nothing more than for the Bluths to succeed. Once, Lucille 2 hired some construction workers to renovate her apartment while she was away, and Lucille wound up getting them to move the wall dividing their homes two feet in, and install a larger bathtub for her.
* In ''[[Chuck]]'', Season 1 had Harry Tang, arch-nemesis to Chuck and Morgan at the Buy-More. Season 2 had Emmit Milbarge fill the role (and how spectacularly he did).
* In ''[[Peep Show]]'', Mark has Jeff.
* On ''[[Full House]]'', once Michelle takes over the [[Little Miss Snarker]] title from Stephanie, Stephanie redirects her snide remarks towards [[Drop
* In ''[[Reba]]'', Brock has not one, but two
* Adrian [[Monk]] has Harold Krenshaw, who shares a therapist and many phobias and neuroses with him. The rivalry is mutual, usually over who is better friends with the therapist or who has made more progress.
* ''[[The Big Bang Theory]]'''s Sheldon Cooper actually has two of these, the first being [[Elmuh Fudd Syndwome|Barry Kripke]], who he once got in an [[Escalating War]] with (it didn't end well), and the second being [[Wil Wheaton]]. The latter has had a showdown with Sheldon twice {{spoiler|and Wheaton triumphed both times. However, he used underhanded tactics both times. You might count the Indiana Jones showing as a third occasion, meaning Sheldon has one victory.}}
** Shelly is just great at getting arch nemeses. Do not forget Leslie Winkle. Afterall, who "made Sheldon Cooper cry like a little girl?".
* In addition to the ''[[Home Improvement (TV series)|Home Improvement]]'' example below under public figures, Tim also hated the nearby but never seen Doctor Johnson, an 80 year old proctologist who won the Christmas lighting competition every year. Considering the lengths Tim goes to beat him, the doctors display [[Take Our Word for It|must have been]] quite a sight indeed.
** Alternatively, Tim's [[Tim Taylor Technology|exceptionally overdone and usually dangerous displays]] may actually have been ''illegal'' in the contest (leading to disqualification) and the good doctor was the best of the legal entrants. Given that one year, his display was bright enough to enable a plane landing, illegal is likely. (Then again, they won that year.)
* From ''[[Half And Half]]'' Big Deedee Thorn regularly competes with her husband's ex-wife Phyllis. She also has an evil sister.
* ''[[My Wife and Kids]]'' has Wanda being this to Michael. [[Volleying Insults|They always argue when talking to each other.]]
* ''[[Sabrina the Teenage Witch (TV series)|Sabrina the Teenage Witch]]'' has [[Alpha Bitch|Libby]].
* In ''[[Parks and Recreation]]'', there is an extremely bitter rivalry between the parks department and the library department, as well as the entire city of Pawnee with Eagleton (though it's mostly one-sided).
* ''[[
* In ''[[
* In ''[[Coupling]]'', Patrick has Ivan, who is like the uber-Patrick, complete with snazzy car, corner office and blonde trophy wife.
* ''[[Modern Family]]'' plays with this trope in the episode where Cam is hosting a charity function for a music appreciation group. He keep referring to his rival (who hosted the event the year before) as his new nemesis. Mitchell tries to point out that it's just silly in real-life, but Cam takes great delight in the drama the relationship allows for.
* ''[[Community]]'' has Jeff's rivalry with Rich, the handsome doctor who is always better than him.
** There is also the rivalry between Prof. Duncan & Senor Chang {{spoiler|which they eventually settled through [[Mutually Assured Destruction]].}}
** There's also Jeff and Leonard's antagonism.
* ''[[Everybody Loves Raymond]]'' Ray actually calls Peggy, the leader of his daughter's scout troop and mother of her best friend, his "arch enemy".
** The rivalry between Debra and Marie can be seen in this way.
** Marie thinks that Harriette Lichman is her archenemy for Frank's affection. Frank casually toys with her on that.
Line 109:
** Robert and Raymond's sibling rivalry borders on this a time or two.
** Peter, Robert's brother in law started out as this. Ironically his sibling rivalry between himself and Amy has been known to mirror Raymond and Robert's. Not to mention he is currently dating Raymond's arch enemy Peggy.
* [[Playing with a Trope|Played with]] in ''[[Sherlock]]''. Sherlock's arch-enemy is revealed to be {{spoiler|his smug but concerned brother Mycroft, who just wants to [[Sibling Rivalry|end their silly feud]].}}
* Town selectman Taylor Doose from ''[[Gilmore Girls]]'' generally only exists to annoy the main characters, and generally the whole town of Stars Hollow with his obsessive need to control every aspect of the town. Luke in particular sees him as an arch nemesis.
* ''[[Sanford and Son]]'' has Fred Sanford and his sister in law Aunt Esther.
* On It's Your Move, the rivalry between Matthew and his neighbor/mother's boyfriend Norman was the premise of the series.
* ''[[Lizzie
* In ''[[
* ''[[30 Rock
** Jack Donaghy and Devon Banks.
*** More recently, Jack and teenager Kaylie Hooper.
** Jenna Maroney is no stranger to this trope. Her ''official'' arch-nemesis appears to be [[Jenny McCarthy]], but she's also apparently had a feud with Raven Symone.

* Pawnee and Eagleton, Indiana, particularly as seen in Leslie Knope and Lindsay Carlisle Shay in the ''[[
* [[Married...
* ''[[Coach]]'' has Hayden and Judy.
* ''[[Freaks and Geeks]]'' subverts the trope by originally having Kim Kelly be Lindsay's nemesis but they become best friends. It's played straight with Sam and Alan White.
Line 131 ⟶ 130:
* Mr. Zamir from ''[[Will and Grace]]''.
* Mr. Heckles from ''[[Friends]]''.
* On ''[[Just Shoot Me]]'', Jack is constantly competing with Donald Trump over who is King of New York. Also regular is head photographer Elliot with Annie Leibowitz. Occasionally, the entire cast and ''Cosmo'' magazine.
* On ''[[The Nanny]]'', Mr. Sheffield loathes [[Andrew Lloyd Webber]] after the former turned down the opportunity of producing ''[[Cats]]'', ''[[Tommy]]'', and ''[[Hair (theatre)]]''.
* On ''[[News Radio]]'', Jimmy James often tries to one-up [[Bill Gates]].
{{quote|'''Bill:''' Hasn't this been done before? I mean, every year some billionaire goes up in a balloon.
'''Mr. James:''' Why do you think I'm doing this? The peer pressure among billionaires is tremendous. Bill Gates practically called me a Nancy-boy.}}
* On ''[[Home Improvement (TV series)|Home Improvement]]'', Tim's hated rival Bob Vila made several guest appearances, often dismissing Tim's show as a ripoff of his own.
** Tim shows a surprising bit of maturity after a race when he reveals to his wife that he could have won but let Bob win as to do so would have been at extreme risk of destroying the car. Bob bought his car and would just get a new one, Tim built his over the course of a year and wasn't going to throw all that work away just to prove a point.
* On the short-lived sitcom ''[[Hope And Gloria]]'', talk show host Dennis Dupree (Alan Thicke) has a massive grudge against, um, actor Alan Thicke. This comes to a climax at a ''[[Growing Pains]]'' reunion on Dupree's show which ends in a Thicke on Thicke fistfight.
* On ''[[Caroline in The City]]'', it's Caroline's strip vs. the strip ''[[Cathy]]''.
* On ''[[Scrubs]]'', Dr. Cox and [[Hugh Jackman]].
* On ''Night Stand'', Dick Dietrich and Jerry Springer.
* Although not an individual person, Australia in general seems to serve in this role for Murray and the band in ''[[Flight of the Conchords]]''
* Karen Walker in ''[[Will and Grace]]'' has a competition with Candice Bergen.
** And likes to torment Marlo Thomas
* In the first season of ''[[Mitch Benn]]'s Crimes Against Music'' Mitch's arch-nemesis was Richard Stilgoe, especially as Robin Ince mentioned Stilgoe whenever Mitch referred to himself as [[The BBC]]'s most popular satirical songwriter. They eventually battled it out in the final episode of the season, and became friends.
{{quote|'''Mitch''': Looks like I'll need a new arch-nemesis for the next series.
'''Richard''': Is [[Bill Bailey]] ready for this? }}
** In fact, Mitch Benn's next arch-nemesis was [[Stephen Fry]], King of [[Twitter]], which was a [[Running Gag]] in the 2009 series of ''[[The Now Show]]''.
* In a rare case, [[Dan Quayle]], quasi-unintentionally, started a feud with [[Murphy Brown]], who served as a liberal [[Archie Comics|Archie Bunker]] and pretty much had a [[Ripped from the Headlines]] feud going on with most everyone in Washington.
* In ''[[Night Court]]'', Judge Stone had a low-key rivalry with Judge Wapner from ''[[The People's Court]]'', as well as a one-upmanship contest with another prank-obsessed judge.
* ''[[I Love Lucy]]'' often referred to Ricky's rivalry with fellow mambo singer Xavier Cougat.
* ''[[Married... with Children]]'': Along with his neighbor Marcy, Al Bundy also had a deep loathing for [[Michael Bolton]].
== Newspaper Comics ==
* Comic strip example: in ''[[Calvin and Hobbes]]'', Calvin had Susie Derkins. It has been suggested that the two might get to like each other if Calvin ever outgrew the belief that [[Girls Have Cooties]]. (Of course, he
** It could be argued that Calvin's real nemesis was Rosalyn the baby-sitter, who was the only person Calvin actually seemed to fear.
** With Moe, things balanced out in a cosmic sort of way. Calvin ran intellectual circles around Moe, but Moe had the raw physical power to make that not really matter that much in the immediate short term.
Line 140 ⟶ 160:
** It's probably safer to say Bucky is Fungo's Sitcom Arch Nemesis, rather than the other way around. Bucky seems to dislike Fungo (and ferrets in general) on the basis that they're too clever by half, and attempts to wage a campaign of harassment against Fungo; Fungo, on the other hand, doesn't really seem to care much about Bucky at all, outside of subverting Bucky's gambits by being too clever by half.

* Phil Harris, of the radio sitcom ''[[The Phil Harris

* A very dark version from ''[[Cabaret]]'' in the form of the promiscuous Fraulein Kost, who turns the play's extremely sympathetic Jewish character over to the Nazis, then rallies a bunch of background characters to Nazism in the [[Epic Song|truly spectacular]] [[Villain Song]] that closes act one. Her motive in doing this? ''To spite her landlady''.

* Rachel from ''[https://web.archive.org/web/20130719023505/http://www.drunkduck.com/Dragon_City/ Dragon City]'' and her neighbor Emily don't like each other, though they got a little better when their daughters became friends and a little better after Rachel became Emily's deputy mayor.
** Rachel's daughter, Erin has a girl named Cynthia that she's always feuding with at school.
* Shows up in ''[[Anime Arcadia]]''.
* Commander Badass in ''[[Manly Guys Doing Manly Things]]'' has Canadian Guy.
* [[Questionable Content|Jeph Jaques]] and [[Sam and Fuzzy|Sam Logan]] act like each others' sitcom arch nemesis in guest comics and on their own comics' homepages, but are friends in real life.
* In ''[[Casey and Andy]]'', Andy had an [[Escalating War]] across time with none other than ''Grover Cleveland''.
** Although Grover Cleveland made regular one-panel appearances for years, before the final arc where he was a major character. And it turned out there were really good reasons for all of it.
* In an example that exists only in the character's head, Sensei Greg of ''[[El Goonish Shive]]'' is convinced that [http://egscomics.com/?date=2002-04-08 Carrot Top is his arch-rival.]

** And as of his review of ''[[Film/A Simple Wish|A Simple Wish]]'', [[
* In [http://sooniwillrule.blogspot.com/ Soon I Will Rule The World], [[Our Liches Are Different|the main character]] has an unusual one in that said archnemesis is one of his own minions, the Shapeshifter, who keeps playing annoying pranks on him. He would get rid of him if not for the fact that the Shapeshifter has [[Healing Factor|a nigh ungodly resilience to death]] and whenever AA tries to kick him out, it always turns into a case of [[The Cat Came Back]].
* This is more or less the best way to describe the relationship between Encyclopedia Dramatica and [[Uncyclopedia]], and [[Wikipedia|The Other Wiki]] too for that matter. (We're the wacky special guest if anything.) Although the former two tend not to bother feuding anymore since given that they're both parody wikis (albeit with ''entirely'' different themes) and all involved just look silly.
* [[TV Tropes
* [[Inverted Trope]] in ''[[Red vs. Blue]]'', as despite the two sides literally being at war, they act in more of a friendly rivalry, and the only one to actually take the war seriously is [[Cloudcuckoolander|Sar]][[Blood Knight|ge]].
* On Twitter, [[Kevin Smith]] and [[Neil Gaiman]] treat each other this way. (In real life, they are friends and fans of each other's work.)
* Ryan North of ''[[
