* WebVideo/UnusAnnus's two co-hosts fell under this trope in the majority of their videos. Mark Fischbach, a bold, muscular, and loud man who was never afraid to experience pain contrasted quite heavily with Ethan Nestor, a slender, soft-spoken, and often dorky man who was frequently the target of Mark's mockery.

Added DiffLines:

* From ''WebAnimation/{{Hololive}}'''s HOLOSTARS branch:
** [[TheHero Regis Altare]] and [[BoisterousBruiser Axel Syrios]], respectively. The former is soft-spoken in nature, loves cute things, tends to use cutesy emoticons in his tweets, and plays the cello, while the latter is a BloodKnight who [[SirSwearsALot frequently swears]] and veers into usage of VulgarHumor.
** [[CourtJester Gavis Bettel]] and [[{{Ronin}} Josuiji Shinri]] play with this trope. Bettel has a PrettyBoy design with a slim build, unironically enjoys the WesternAnimation/{{Barbie}} films, and is associated with the color pink, but he's also incredibly loud, foul-mouthed, and prone to raving like a madman when things go south. Shinri is one of the physically stronger members of Tempus, sporting a muscular build and a BaritoneOfStrength, but he's [[GentleGiant gentle and warmhearted in nature]], owns a few plushies, and [[TenderTears isn't afraid to cry during emotional moments in games]].

* ''WesternAnimation/{{Coco}}'': Héctor and Ernesto, in life. Héctor was the sensitive song writer who intended to give up on his dream of being famous to go back to his family, while Ernesto was the macho singer who was alright with murdering his best friend to achieve fame and fortune. This also comes through in the way both he and Ernesto sing and play music; Ernesto plays and sings in a loud, bombastic way, while Héctor's playing and singing is much more soft and tender. It also visible in their physiques, as (both alive and skeletal,) Ernesto is noticeably burlier.

* ''WesternAnimation/{{Luca}}'': Luca is a mild-mannered and cautious ShrinkingViolet who [[LovableCoward gets easily scared]] (although [[TookALevelInBadass he becomes braver]] [[CharacterDevelopment and more confident]] during the movie's climax), while his best friend Alberto is [[HotBlooded reckless]], [[BrutalHonesty outspoken]] and is never afraid of taking risks.

* In ''WebOriginal/BrigScarletFlamingo'', Joseph has a dreamy, poetic disposition, composes and sings songs, owns a drake toy as a keepsake from his ParentalSubstitute, and is in CourtlyLove with a lady he might never see again. Frank is way more down-to-earth, a HotBlooded, rash, fearless man of action who prefers to invoke AttackAttackAttack first and think later and who disapproves of sentimentality. Unlike in many examples of the trope, though, it's Joseph who is burly and muscular and Frank who is lithe and slender. The differences in their personalities are among the things that lead to them fighting all the time, but underneath it they are [[VitriolicBestBuds the best of friends]].

One guy will be your everyday [[ ManlyMan]]. He's rough, aggressive, and strong ([[SmallNameBigEgo or at least that's how he sees himself]]).
