Line 292:
** Likewise, a villain variant of this was completely subverted in ''Turbo: A Power Rangers Movie.'' Newly anointed [[Big Bad]] Divatox calls [[Villain Decay|decayed villain]] Rita Repulsa for help, and gets laughed at. Rita's [[Captain Obvious]] response is that if she knew how to defeat the Rangers, she would have done it already.
* ''[[Airwolf]]'', "Condemned". String and Caitlin have to work together with some [[Reds With Rockets]] to acquire the antidote for a lethal virus. Then stop [[From Russia With Nukes|three nuclear warhead-equipped cruise missiles from hitting the island]]. Soviets attempt to acquire Airwolf, but don't get very far and stop this before things get hairy between them. The parties depart friends.
* ''[[Firefly]]'' does this in the episode "Trash", where the crew joins up on a heist with Saffron, the psychotic seductress who tried to steal their ship a few episodes back. Rather amusingly subverted: Saffron unsurprisingly double-crosses the crew, and the crew [[OutgambittedOut-Gambitted|turns on on her in return, having fully expected her sudden but inevitable betrayal]].
* Even ''[[Scrubs]]'' features this trope when Dr. Cox and Dr. Kelso team up to break the spirit of an overly cheery coworker. However, she outsmarts them and they are back to mutual hate by the end of the episode.
** Another episode featured Dr. Kelso notice that everyone in the hospital was arguing, so he invokes this by getting everyone to turn against ''him''.
