** Shawn and Gus. Fangirls ''will'' tell you, "THEY ARE SO MARRIED!!!" Though, they are legally domestic partners.
** Shawn and Lassiter.

--> '''Magnus:''' Well, he DOES seem to loik you despite being grumpiness incarnate. He relies on you to listen to his boundless complaints and to inform him about, to quote, 'stupid shit'. I'd even say he trusts you. He certainly trust you more than he trusts me or any of his other sons for that matter. Actually, are you sure you're not his wife or something?"

-> '''Kitten:''' (Wondering wether the Emperor would tell him the history of the universe) "I'm much unsure if he'd actually want to tell me. I mean, if he never told you, why would he tell me?"

-> '''Magnus:''' "Indeed stepmother."
-> '''Kitten:''' "First of all, quiet you!"

* ''WesternAnimation/StarWarsRebels'': Kanan and Hera interact with a strange mixture of comfortable familiarity, friendly banter, a fair amount of somewhat-playful bickering, and some flirtation. It's very strongly implied they're actually together (to the point that they jokingly refer to themselves as the mom and dad of the ship), but not actually confirmed.

* ''Manga/AxisPowersHetalia'':
** There's ''France and England'', who've known each other since the very beginning of time and probably have a thousand romance tropes under their belt. Not to mention, almost every time they're seen together they are bickering.

** Oh my god ''England and America'', whose arguments have warranted a comment from [[DepravedBisexual France]] about their {{UST}}... and their {{UST}}... and their {{UST}}.
** And with that, there's ''France and England'', who've known each other since the very beginning of time and probably have a thousand romance tropes under their belt.

** Ritsuko once said that Misato and Kaji act like a married couple

* ''ComicBook/{{Bone}}'' gives us the Two Stupid Rat Creatures. Pretty much every time they appear they spend most of their panel time bickering with each other like idiots. The fact that one of them is hopelessly determined to eat a quiche dosen't help.

* ''Disney/TheLionKing''

* ''WesternAnimation/{{Futurama}}: Fry and Bender in "Calculon 2.0" admit that they bickers around like this a lot but also claim that the only reason why they were not seen like that was because of their favorite soap opera show All My Circuits as they say the shown is what glues their friendship. They go into a spat of this in order to prove their point.

** Gantu and Reuben (Experiment 625) in the series, have several bicker spats with each other as they make snarly comments towards each other which range from their professions to their looks.

** Timon and Pumbaa do not show much of this in the films but its very evident in their own series as they frequently bicker with each other. Apparently, their philosophy of "Hakuna Matata" does not protect them from having such bickers spats.

* In ''WesrernAnimation/{{Rugrats}}'', Tommy's father, Stu Pickles and Angelica's father, Drew Pickles often argue and behave like an old married couple throughout the course of the show even though they are clearly brothers.

Two characters who seem very comfortable with each other to the point that it seems like they have been married for a long time, though obviously it doesn't apply to couples who actually ''have'' been together for a long time. Usually it is done through constant arguments with each other, as only people who are so closely bonded can have such open communication between them ([[VitriolicBestBuds whether they will admit it or not]]). Someone is apt to comment that they behave just like a married couple. T

** Happens once again in ''VisualNovel/PhoenixWrightAceAttorneySpiritOfJustice'', but this time much more literally with Apollo and Athena. A magician in the second case mistakenly assumes they're a comedy duo practicing their "old married couple" routine when they were actually just conversing and interacting like they normally do. Apollo and Athena are both shocked that this is how they appear to others.

-->'''Mackenzie''': This [football] team in a juggernaut [[spoiler: Jenna (Darabond)]]. So like it or not, they're going to state. And when they win state, everyone's gonna want to hang out with them. And who will they be standing next to? The brand new, better than ever Overland Park Cheer Squad.
-->'''Shay''': Yeah, [[GladIThoughtOfIt because when they win, everybody's going to think they're cool, so we'll be cool too!]]
-->'''Mackenzie''': Shay, that's literally what I just said.
-->'''Shay''': No--no, I-I know, I was-I was just saying.
-->'''Mackenzie''': OK, well, you're not really adding anything to the discussion.
-->'''Shay''': I'm sorry, you didn't leave much room.
-->'''Mackenzie''': OK, that's because ''I got this''.
-->'''Shay''': Well, [[spoiler: as the Head Cheerleader]], I feel like I should have the final word.
-->'''Mackenzie''': You know what Shay, you're really letting the [[spoiler: Head Cheerleader]] thing go to your head. I'm clearly better at bitching people out so just let me handle it, okay?
-->({{Beat}})
-->'''Shay''': ''[[OverlyLongGag I'm sorry Mackenzie]]'', just because you're the loudest doesn't mean that you're the best at bitching someone out.
-->'''Mackenzie''': [[SuddenlyShouting OH, YOU WANNA HEAR LOUD, SHAY?!]]
-->'''Shay''': Oh ''here we go'', here we go!

Typically the argument will be a back and forth of opinions, such as a CavemenVsAstronautsDebate. It is likely to get heated but neither of them are willing to just leave. In extreme cases it might start getting ugly with insults about personal issues being flung about. If not an argument based, it is often tied with HeterosexualLifePartners where domestic issues are a common topic.

-->'''Shay''': No I know, I was just saying.
