A couple version of a [[Pet the Dog]] moment. Basically, when a couple/[[Shipping|potential couple]]—who spend the entirety of the show [[The Masochism Tango|yelling at each other, insulting one another, doing things to deliberately upset one another, stabbing each other in the back, etc.]]—have a moment when they reveal that deep down, they really care for one another. Awwww.
Line 30 ⟶ 31:
* Bossun and Tsubaki from ''[[Sket Dance]]'', despite being [[The Rival|rivals]], actually team up pretty well and have shown mutual respect for each other. Things only get better between the two of them after [[The Reveal]].
** Pretty much a given between Bossun and Himeko. Despite their [[Vitriolic Best Buds|constant bickering]], they are shown to actually care a lot for each other, inching ever closer to [[She Is Not My Girlfriend]] territory.
* This sums up [[TakahashiBelligerent CoupleSexual Tension|Ranma and Akane]]'s relationship in ''[[Ranma ½]]''.
{{quote|'''Ranma:''' Please, Akane. I need you... to hear me now... I wanted to tell you... I wanted to {{spoiler|tell you that I love you}}!}}
** Also Ranma and Ukyo and Ranma and Shampoo, from a friendly rather than romantic standpoint. [[Vitriolic Best Buds|Ranma and Ryoga]] qualify as well.
Line 136 ⟶ 137:
** Although since Maris was [[She Who Must Not Be Seen]], (and the longer the show ran, the more horrible her offscreen actions became), the couple might easily have been a one-sided version of the trope, making it depressing rather than heartwarming.
* Ralph and Alice on ''[[The Honeymooners]]'': "Baby, you're the greatest."
* Apollo and Sheba on ''[[Battlestar Galactica Classic(1978 TV series)|Battlestar Galactica]]''. Saul and Ellen Tigh from [[Battlestar Galactica Reimagined(2004 TV series)|the reboot]].
* Lord Zedd and Rita Repulsa on ''[[Mighty Morphin Power Rangers]].''
** Squat nearly evokes the trope by name in one episode.
Line 208 ⟶ 209:
 
== [[Music]] ==
* Voltaire's song [https://web.archive.org/web/20150429071345/http://www.lyrics007.com/Voltaire%20Lyrics/Stuck%20With%20You%20Lyrics.html "Stuck With You"].
* The Parlotones (a South African rock band) portrays this in their music video for [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OPo3KLZ4SpM Push Me to the Floor], in which the married couple spend the entire video getting back and sabotaging at each other in every possible way...and at the end {{spoiler|start getting frisky and about to [[Making Love in All the Wrong Places|have sex on a billiards table]] }}.
* In the final song of ''[[The Simpsons]] Sing the Blues'', "Sibling Rivalry," after it ends with a quiet a capella refrain about their fractious relationship, you hear softly afterward Bart say "Let go of my hand, Lisa."
Line 267 ⟶ 268:
* ''[[Penny Arcade (Webcomic)|Penny Arcade]]'''s Gabe and Tycho. When they're not insulting or threatening one another with bodily harm.
{{quote|[http://www.penny-arcade.com/comic/2004/9/8/ "God '''dammit'''."] }}
* ''[[Death and The Maiden]]''—After a run-in with Pestilence causes Mercedes to become deathly ill, Death first takes her to a place where she can't get any worse [[Fate Worse Than Death|(but not better either)]], [https://web.archive.org/web/20120514110827/http://two.deathandmaiden.com/2010/01/19/chapter-6-strip-35/ and actually admits that he cares about her.] The next few strips are one long Aw Look moment.
* In ''[[Order of the Stick]]'', Roy and Julia are shown to have a fairly strong sibling rivalry, considering that Julia is the favored child of [[Insufferable Genius|Eugene]] for pursuing magic. However, a bit of a shouting match, Roy asks how she's doing and the two proceed to hug it out, saying that they love each other. This utterly confuses [[Evil Twin|Nale]], who believes that siblings should have an unreasonable hatred of each other and be each others' sworn enemies.
