Sitcom Arch Nemesis: Difference between revisions

* [[Yotsuba&! (Manga)|Yotsuba&!]] has Yanda, whom she instantly hates with a hatey five-year-old hate but other characters merely find annoying. It doesn't help that Yanda takes a [[Adult Child|childish glee]] in figuratively yanking her pigtails.

* Piyoko from ''[[Di Gi Charat (Anime)|Di Gi Charat]]'' and the Digi Devil from ''Panyo Panyo Di Gi Charat'' really ''try'' to be legitimate [[Big Bad|Big Bads]], but being inept villains in humor series whose schemes rarely rise above the level of [[Poke the Poodle]] dooms them to be this instead.

* In ''[[Kekkaishi (Manga)|Kekkaishi]]'', Shigemori and Tokiko spent their mornings attacking each other with gardens hoses; it's part of their feud about the 'legitimate heir' of the Kekkaishi founder. Both are rather upset that their grandchildren don't share their grudge.

* ''[[Boku wa Tomodachi ga Sukunai (Anime)|Boku wa Tomodachi ga Sukunai]]''

* 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 ''[[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".

** Later on Cole admits that he doesn't even really have a good reason for hating Max, he's just petty and begrudges Max the fact that he's an overall good guy ''and'' more successful than Cole<ref>the only hint of anything less than exemplary character on Max's part, in fact, was an inability to see Skull the troll, and this is hinted to be more self-absorbtion than any legitimate sin on Max's part</ref>. This admission prompts Max to [[Put On a Bus|go on walkabout, as the Australians call it]], and he eventually comes back with the grating edges sanded off his personality, and the staff of the magazine grow to think of him as a good friend<ref>He can see Skull too</ref>.

* In ''[[Sluggy Freelance (Webcomic)|Sluggy Freelance]]'' Gwynn seems to feel she and Torg have this relationship at times. Torg actually thinks of her as a really good friend, if maybe a little too hot-headed.

** Ron Stoppable and Mr. Barkin

* ''[[Angela Anaconda (Animation)|Angela Anaconda]]'': "Oh no, it's [[Alpha Bitch|Ninny-Poo]]."
