Three Amigos: Difference between revisions

{{trope}}

* [[The Hero]]

* [[The Lancer|A best friend of the same gender]]

[[Terrible Trio]] is the villainous equivalent: The leader will be more bossy, and the sidekicks dumber and interchangeable.

 

 

* ''[[Samurai Pizza Cats]]'': Speedy, Guido and Polly.

* ''[[Angelic Layer]]'': Misaki, Kotaro, and Tamayo.

* A to Z Mysteries: Dink, Josh, and Ruth Rose.

 

* [[Disney Channel]] is fond of this trope, and at least one show will have it.

** ''[[Lizzie McGuire]]'': Lizzie, Gordo and Miranda

* [[The Wonder Years]]: Kevin, Paul, and Winnie

* Violet Vinther, Mr. Scwann and Miss Jørgensen from the danish ''Matador'' is this until {{spoiler|Mr. Scwann dies}}

* [[Starsky and Hutch (TV series)|Starsky, Hutch and Huggy Bear]].

 

* Evan, Patrice,and Archie in ''[[13|Thirteen]]''.

 

* ''[[Metal Gear Solid]]: Guns of the Patriots'' gives us Snake, Otacon, and Sunny.

* ''[[Planescape: Torment]]'': Although you can recruit other characters, the core trio are The Nameless One, Morte and Annah.

 

== [[Web Comics]] ==

* ''[[Sluggy Freelance]]'': Torg, Riff, and Zoe.

* Almost every video gaming webcomic ''ever'' seems to revolve around [[Two Gamers on a Couch|two male gamers]] and [[Gamer Chick|one female]], who is usually the girlfriend of whichever male lead is the hero. The typical character dynamic seems to be 'wacky' (read: obnoxious [[Jerkass]]) guy <nowiki>[</nowiki>[[The Hero]]<nowiki>]</nowiki>, straight man [second guy] and girlfriend [the woman]. Oddly, the dean of video game webcomics, ''[[Penny Arcade (Webcomic)|Penny Arcade]]'', is actually the exception (no girlfriend), so ''[[Ctrl+Alt+Del|Ctrl Alt Del]]'' is probably the [[Trope Maker]] here.

* ''[[Samurai Princess]]'' has Princess Raeka, Jacquline and Lyonel. A girl and a boy about the same age who recently have been put in a situation of romantic tension and the little girl to play foil to the main character.

* In [[Rescuing Dara]] Chivai is [[The Hero]] and a girl, Dara is the female friend, and Zilch is the male friend. No romance yet, though.
