Line 103:
*** But when their first house is destroyed, they take it for granted that they will continue to live together in the next house. A conscious choice, not just accident.
*** There's also an episode where Vyvyan introduces them to his mother, referring to Mike and Neil as friends (and Rick as "a complete bastard I know").
* The two characters in ''[[Bottom]]''. Previously played almost identically by the same two actors who were also two of ''[[The Young Ones]]'' in ''[[Filthy Rich and& Catflap]]'' and the ''[[Comic Strip Presents]]'' episode "Mr. Jolly Lives Next Door''.
* Hyde to Eric in ''[[That '70s Show]]'' (one sided), and to Kelso, whose [[Jerkass]] tendencies are at least as strong as Hyde's own.
** Really, everyone. In one episode Kelso takes the gang out to eat, but plans to skip out on the check. One by one, everyone leaves, until Donna and Eric are stuck paying the bill. They get their "friends" back by {{spoiler|making them "special" brownies with laxatives in them.}}
Line 179:
* This constantly happens in ''[[Shadow Hearts|Koudelka]]''. One or more of them argue every time they are in a cut-scene together.
* The Legion and the Trow in ''[[Myth|Myth 2]]''. There's even a mission named after the trope. On the evil side, the Watcher and the Deceiver, whose rivalry stretches back over a millenium, and who actually seem to prefer fighting each other than dealing with the good guys.
* Even after ''[[Sonic Adventure 2]]'', Sonic considers Shadow a friend...which doesn't explain for all of their fighting in ''[[Sonic Battle]]'', ''[[Sonic Rivals]]'', ''Sonic Rivals 2'', ''[[Sonic Heroes]]'' (granted, Shadow had amnesia), and ''[[Shadow the Hedgehog]]''. However, one time Shadow does come through for Sonic is when he {{spoiler|saves him from Silver in ''[[Sonic the Hedgehog (2006 (video game)||Sonic 2006]]'', and then proceeds to kick Silver's ass}} and knocks him out with one kick, getting a roar of approval from the people playing the game.
** Even BEFORE that were the scuffles of Sonic and Knuckles, but they got better, although they still argue. A lot.
*** And then there's Shadow's other friends (i.e: those who aren't friends to Sonic)...
**** To explain further - his only other friends are [[Femme Fatale|Rouge]] [[Classy Cat Burglar|the]] [[Defrosting Ice Queen|Bat]] and [[Ax Crazy|E-123]] [[Robotic Psychopath|Omega]]. Judging from how cold Shadow is with both of them, it's unclear whether they truly like each other or if they just put up with each other for work related reasons - and even if it IS the former, it's unlikely that Shadow would ever express it.
**** Not true at all, actually. Rouge and Omega quite clearly care about each other and Shadow, and Shadow is introduced in Sonic Chronicles as searching for Omega, concerned for his safety.
* This can cross over to real life with the ''[[JuonJu-On]]'' game for the Wii. Its multiplayer mode is comprised of player 1 playing the game as normal, and player 2 adding to the haunting the player is experiencing with timed button presses.
 
 
== Webcomics ==
* Gabe and Tycho in ''[[Penny Arcade]]''.
* To some extent, the entire cast of ''[[Something *Positive]]''.
* Early on in ''[[Questionable Content]]'': Faye to Marten. (She got better after [[The Reveal]])
* Bun-Bun and Torg in ''[[Sluggy Freelance]]''. Actually, since Bun-Bun is a [[Heroic Sociopath|sociopathic]] [[Jerkass]], this trope applies to just about any "friendship" he has.
Line 237:
*** It is pretty much stated by everyone that the only reason they associate with Peggy is because she is with Hank. Dale at one point just comes out and states he hates her.
* Penny's friends from ''[[The Proud Family]]'' certainly count. They berate each other every chance they get for any kind of flaws and most of the time sponge off one another for their own gain. Oh yeah and not exactly the type to stick around to help when trouble rears it head.
* Henry and June from ''[[Ka BlamKaBlam!]]!''. They constantly argue, and if Henry's in trouble...don't expect June to help.
* [[Avatar: The Last Airbender|Azula]] tries to control her friends through fear. {{spoiler|And it backfires.}}
* The entire cast of ''[[Looney Tunes]]'', most notably [[Bugs Bunny]] and [[Daffy Duck]].
