History Main / OutlawCouple

* In ''FalloutNewVegas'', there is a casino that inexplicably immortalizes Vikki and Vance, a pair of petty crooks who went on a "crime spree" of [[PokeThePoodle shoplifting and credit card fraud]]. They died in a hail of gunfire, but only because they stumbled into the crossfire of an unrelated shootout. The casino seems to believe that the pair were quite infamous, and they're quick to point out that Vikki and Vance got started two months ''before'' Bonnie and Clyde. Another duo, Sammy and Pauline Wins, has stolen Vance's gun and are about to set off on being this trope. If you convince them that it's a stupid idea, they'll give you the gun, which is in perfect condition because Vance never used it.

* Brutally subverted by Richard Thompson's "Shane and Dixie" - the titular couple are a wannabe Bonnie and Clyde, but when their petty crimes fail to gain them the fame he craves, Shane decides that they can be famous in death and decides to stage a murder/suicide at the scene of their latest crime. [[spoiler: He dies and is soon forgotten, she survives and marries the newspaperman who comes to cover the incident.]]

* Basilio and Alisa (Cat and Fox, respectively) from ''Buratino'' (the Russian version of ''{{Pinocchio}}''). The actors portraying them were husband and wife in real life as well.

* Light and Misa from ''Manga/DeathNote'' - in something of a subversion, Light tricks Misa into believing they are in a Bonnie and Clyde relationship, when in fact he has no feelings for her and would kill her without a second thought if she [[YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness Outlived Her Usefulness]].

* In an episode of ''[[TenchiMuyo Tenchi Universe]]'', two teens steal Kiyone's ship in an attempt to become this. Too bad for them, the ship's rightful owners are on the galaxy's Most Wanted List...

* A young couple in an early episode of ''{{GunXSword}}'' tries... and fails extravagantly... to be this. They seem to be a direct reference to Pumpkin and Honey Bunny, referenced somewhere below.
** At least in the dub, their real names are Bunny and Klatt, which suggest that they may also be a shout out to the original Bonny and Clyde.
* Charles and Ray from ''{{Eureka Seven}}''.

* Fiona Fox and Scourge/Anti-Sonic from the ''Comicbook/{{Sonic the Hedgehog}}'' Archie comic book.

* The protagonists of {{GrantMorrison}}'s graphic novella ''Kill Your Boyfriend''. That said, theirs was the most aimless crime spree imaginable.

* Arguably the first FilmNoir picture ever made, almost a decade before the style became prevalent, [[FritzLang Fritz Lang's]] ''YouOnlyLiveOnce'' also has the distinction of being the first OutlawCouple film. Loosely based on the real-life crime couple of Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow, who had been gunned down by police only three years before ''You Only Live Once'' was released, the film is the tragic story of two star-crossed lovers--a career criminal, Eddie Taylor (Henry Fonda), and Joanna (Sylvia Sidney), the girl who loves him.

* Carmen and Don Jose in ''{{The Loves of Carmen}}''

* [[{{TheStainlessSteelRat}} 'Slippery Jim' [=diGriz=]]] and his wife Angelina (ex-criminals turned galactic secret agents) indulge in the occasional holiday/crime spree when not doing missions for the Special Corps, much to the chagrin of their boss [[DaChief Inskip]].
* ''{{Literature/RainbowSix}}'' has [[FatBastard Hans Furchter]] and [[AxeCrazy Petra Dortmund.]]

* ''{{Buffy the Vampire Slayer}}'' has Spike and Drusilla, Angel (or Angelus) and Darla, Spike and Harmony and - in an alternate universe - Xander and Willow

* ''{{NUMB3RS}}'' had Crystal Hoyle and Buck Winters. Crystal was the one in charge; she was almost twice Buck's age and [[HotForStudent his former teacher]].

* ''{{Walker Texas Ranger}}'' had an episode with a [[LoonyFan guy obsessed with Bonnie and Clyde]] kidnapped a girl to act as his Bonnie.
* ''{{Dexter}}''

** In season 5 we have [[spoiler: Dexter and Lumen]]. Masuka even references Bonnie and Clyde when referring to the vigilantes. Considering how they ended up, [[spoiler: Dexter]] finds the analogy worrisome.

* The {{Tupac Shakur}} song "Me And My Girlfriend" sounds like a case of this, but is actually about the protagonist of the song and his gun. [[FreudWasRight Freud Ahoy!]]

* ''TheFairlyOddparents'' had an episode featuring the 'Souvineer Bandits,' two dimwitted boobs who look exactly like Timmy's parents, who are trying to steal a sacred pencil sharpener.

* ''GhostTrick'' has Beauty and Dandy, a "couple" from a gang of [[EvilForeigner Evil Foreigners]], if you ask Dandy.

* The [[DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment robbers and thieves]] Isaac and Miria from ''{{Baccano}}''. Isaac is the brains of the group solely because he is [[strike:''slightly'' less of a TheDitz]] more likely to (wrongly) think he has the answer to something than Miria.

* Bonnie and Clyde from ''LastManStanding'', although they're not really bad guys. And yes, that's their names. [[SarcasmMode Who would have ever suspected this to happen]]?

* The [[DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment robbers and thieves]] Isaac and Miria from ''{{Baccano}}!''. Isaac is the brains of the group solely because he is [[strike:''slightly'' less of a TheDitz]] more likely to (wrongly) think he has the answer to something than Miria.

* ''Puss in Boots'' had Puss in Boots and Kitty Softpaws.

* In {{Heroes}} when Sylar and Elle become a couple and decide to use their powers to "take what we want". Noah Bennette even calls them "Bonnie and Clyde".

* Light and Misa from ''DeathNote'' - in something of a subversion, Light tricks Misa into believing they are in a Bonnie and Clyde relationship, when in fact he has no feelings for her and would kill her without a second thought if she [[YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness Outlived Her Usefulness]].

* ''MollFlanders'' and her lesbian lover Lucy.

*** Don't forget ''{{Badlands}}''.

** Likewise in ''WesternAnimation/TheBatman'', where they even have crime-spree montage with the two of them performing a cover of HankWilliams' "Setting the Woods on Fire"!

* The Metallikats from ''SwatKats'' are a unique combination of OutlawCouple, FunnyAnimal and KillerRobot.

* Marge and Homer appears as Bonnie and Clyde in ''TheSimpsons'' epsiode "Love, Springfieldian Style."

* Bunny and Claude, another FunnyAnimal version of the trope, appeared in two late (1968) LooneyTunes shorts: ''Bunny and Claude: We Rob Carrot Patches'' and ''The Great Carrot Train Robbery''.

* ''FinalFantasyXII'' fans call [[PettingZooPeople Fran]] and [[GentlemanThief Balthier]] "[[IncrediblyLamePun Bunny]] and Clyde," due to Fran's race, the Viera, who are basically [[PlayboyBunny people with bunny ears]]. They're both {{Sky Pirate}}s, thieving around and not really caring for anything of a higher moral value.

* The Joker and Harley Quinn from ''BatmanTheAnimatedSeries''.
** Likewise in ''TheBatman'', where they even have crime-spree montage with the two of them performing a cover of HankWilliams' "Setting the Woods on Fire"!
** Another episode of ''BatmanTheAnimatedSeries'' featured Baby Dahl teaming up with Killer Croc. The two are even compared to Bonny and Clyde at one point. (It didn't last long.)

** In season 5 we have [[spoiler: Dexter and Lumen]]. Masuka even references Bonnie and Clyde when referring to the vigilantes.

* Basilio and Alisa (Cat and Fox, respectively) from ''Buratino'' (the Russian version of {{Pinocchio}}). The actors portraying them were husband and wife in real life as well.

* {{Literature/RainbowSix}} has [[FatBastard Hans Furchter]] and [[AxeCrazy Petra Dortmund.]]

* {{Buffy the Vampire Slayer}} has Spike and Drusilla, Angel (or Angelus) and Darla, Spike and Harmony and - in an alternate universe - Xander and Willow

* {{Walker Texas Ranger}} had an episode with a [[LoonyFan guy obsessed with Bonnie and Clyde]] kidnapped a girl to act as his Bonnie.

* Vyse and Aika in ''VideoGame/SkiesOfArcadia'' are [[SkyPirate air pirates]] who have been working together since childhood, but Aika has some "implied" feelings has for him. They're supposedly honorable pirates who only steal from the EvilEmpire's military, but Vyse responds to seeing a train for the first time by remarking that it would be hard to steal. Clara may want to initiate this trope with Guilder.
* In the ending of PhoenixWrightAceAttorney: Trials and Tribulations, it is implied that [[spoiler: Ron and Desiree]] may have become this.
