Line 146:
** The Torch also has a similar relationship with [[Spider-Man]]. Spidey and the Torch's team-ups usually consist of them trying to one-up each other, with the expected volley of insults and snark. But at the end of the day, Spider-Man is probably Johnny's closest superhero friend outside of the FF.
** Also, Johnny Storm and [[X-Men|Bobby Drake]]. Like [[Incredibly Lame Pun|fire and ice]], those two.
* [[Cable (Comic Book)|Cable]] and [[Deadpool]] become this more and more throughout their series.
** Before that, Deadpool had this relationship with Bullseye. They took it to the extreme though, where they would try to kill each other and then laugh about it together. When it's all said and done, Bullseye has admitted that Deadpool is the only person he likes.
** Deadpool and [[Taskmaster]] have also had this type of "friendship"- perhaps said best by Taskmaster: "The things I do for the friends I can't stand..."
Line 230:
* Claude and Reynolds in [[The Pale King]].
* [[Combat Medic|Pavel]] and [[Lovable Rogue|Will]] from ''[[Forgotten Realms|The Year Of Rogue Dragons]]''. Will calls Pavel a charlatan, Pavel tells him "Silence, insect", and both of them constantly insult the other's intelligence. Yet they can always count on each other for anything serious.
* G'Joth and Davok in the [[Star Trek: Klingon Empire]] books, of the "equally insulting" variant.
* A lot of the friendships in [[P. G. Wodehouse|PG Wodehouse]], sometimes overlapping with [[With Friends Like These...]].
* Renton and Sick Boy in [[Trainspotting]]. In the book, Renton notes that he and Sick Boy started insulting each other in a joking way, but that over time they are starting to really mean it.
Line 621:

'''[[Lean and Mean|Shaw]]:''' G.K., you look like you caused it! }}
* [[Useful Notes/Canada|Canada's]] provinces. We're a bit of a semi-dysfunctional family. Anglophones and Francophones look down on each other. The Western provinces (British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba) like to pick on the Eastern side, focusing on Ontario and Quebec. The Maritime provinces (Nova Scotia, Newfoundland, New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island) moan how they never get the cool stuff. Everyone bashes Ontario or at least Toronto. But when the chips come down and someone needs help, we would jump in to help and we [[Aw, Look -- They Really Do Love Each Other|really do care about each other.]] And nobody but us are allowed to make fun of each other. (Well, maybe the US. Sometimes.)
** Between Alberta and Toronto, there the relationship is more strained, as due to some unpopular bills passed, it gave Alberta less sovereignty over its oil. And some of these bills have caused environmental damage, along with causing health problems for those who live near the Oil Sands (the area in northern Alberta where oil is located) and natural gas deposits. Despite this, when the chips are down, any Albertan still feels loyalty to Canada as much as any other province.
** Hell, Canada and ''the US'' are this. Most of our interaction consists of ripping on each other, but in the end, even if the Canadians are too [[Tsundere]] to admit it, we all know that one country isn't complete without the other. ♥
