* In ''[[Firefly]]'', Mal calls Inara a whore all the time. But he's also the first to defend her if anyone else calls her (or implies she is) a whore. He later states that that while he loathes and insults her job, he's not insulting the woman herself and actively tries to protect her professional reputation (just never to her face). On the other hand, the person who triggered his Hypocritical Heartwarming was treating Inara herself (instead of her job) like a whore, and even a slave. And mutually, their [[Volleying Insults]] could range from [[In Harm's Way|overprotect]][[Secretly Dying|iveness]], a defensive mechanism against rejection, or just an act to annoy each other.
* In ''[[Star Trek: The Original Series]]'', [[The McCoy|McCoy]] is always trying to get an emotional rise out of [[The Spock|Spock]], but in the episode "[[Star Trek/Recap/S3/E10 Plato's Stepchildren|Plato's Stepchildren]]," McCoy jumps to Spock's defense when powerful aliens force him to cry and to laugh. And in other episodes he's usually the first to jump to Spock's defense any time ''anyone'' attacks or insults him, possibly because his issues with Spock are more of a giant angry moral debate while other people tend to be full racism.
* Although it's never expressly stated, it's pretty obvious that [[The A-Team|B.A.]] is the only one who's allowed to be mean to Murdock and Face. He frequently verbally abuses them and threatens them with physical violence (Murdock is his main target, but Face gets quite a bit of this too, at times). And then you'll get a scene where the team is facing the [[Villain of the Week|slimeballs of the week;]] Murdock and Face, the physically weaker half of the team, frequently find themselves fighting a [[Mook]] who's too big for them to handle. Cue B.A., who proceeds to knock the sucka's lights out. Five minutes later he's back to insulting Murdock and Face and threatening to beat them up himself. Happens every few episodes.
* In ''[[Even Stevens]]'' Ren never hesitates to call Louis an idiot. However, after failing a band audition (big time) the guy judging it called Louis an idiot. Ren then told him that the only person allowed to call him an idiot is her.
