'''Alexa''': Roguish. |''[[Barbie and Thethe Diamond Castle]]''}}
 
A [[Twin Tropes|Twin Trope]]. The tendency of twins to [[Witty Banter|banter]] with each other. This includes [[Finishing Each Other's Sentences|finishing each other's sentences]] and [[Comedy Duo|feeding each other lines]], among other things. A common trait of [[Single-Minded Twins]] and [[Twin Telepathy|Telepathic Twins]].
 
This can also be done by other multiple siblings, or even [[Those Two Guys]].
Line 16:
{{examples}}
* The [[Duumvirate]] does this without sentence-finishing.
* Fred and George Weasley from ''[[Harry Potter (Literaturenovel)|Harry Potter]]'', naturally.
* Who could forget [[Alice in Wonderland (Literature)|Tweedledum and Tweedledee]]?
* Jeremy and Ian from ''[[Barbie and Thethe Diamond Castle]]''. They even banter ''in song''.
* Kaoru and Hikaru in [[Ouran High School Host Club]] do this regularly.
* ''[[Futakoi]]''.
Line 24:
* Tomax and Xamot, of [[G.I. Joe]].
* ''The Corsican Brothers''
* Castor and Pollux Stone, ''[[The Rolling Stones (Literaturenovel)|The Rolling Stones]]'' by [[Robert A. Heinlein]]. Also Laz and Lor in his later novels.
* Shion and Mion from [[Higurashi no Naku Koro Nini]] do this occasionally, but sometimes it [[Yandere|isn't]] [[Kill'Em All|always for laughs]].
* Gem and Gemma from ''[[Power Rangers RPM (TV)|Power Rangers RPM]]'' are an extreme case, as it is exceedingly rare for them to individually speak in complete sentences- usually they alternate words or phrases.
* [[The Belgariad]]'s Beltira and Belkira. ''"We're sorry, it's - " "Our nature."''
* ''[[Bakemonogatari (Light Novel)|Bakemonogatari]]'''s [[Next Time On]] sequences are rapid-fire, seemingly random exchanges between Tsukihi and Karin, the main character's younger sisters.
* [[Real Life]] example: [http://www.teganandsara.com Tegan & Sara].
* The Sklar brothers of ''[[Cheap Seats (TV)|Cheap Seats]]'' (Also a staple of their stand-up routine)
* The [[Real Life]] comedy duo, [http://www.stoneandstone.org/ Stone and Stone]. [[Sibling Yin-Yang]] and [[Incest Subtext]] ahoy.
* Ethan and Evan in ''[[Dalton (Fanfic)|Dalton]]''
