* ''Animation/FlowerFairy'': The petunia fairy twins in Season 1 episodes 21 and 22 love to play pranks and make [[ButtMonkey Kukuru]] a target for their jokes, doing things to him such as magically making his soup disappear and turning into wasps to scare him.

* Hikaru and Kaoru Hitachiin in ''Manga/OuranHighSchoolHostClub''. (They even appear as Cheshire Cats during a {{homage}} to ''Alice In Wonderland''.)
* Shion and Mion in ''VisualNovel/HigurashiWhenTheyCry''. Sometimes, it's funny. Other times, [[NightmareFuel it's not funny at all]].
* Fuuka and Fumika Narutaki in ''Manga/NegimaMagisterNegiMagi''. Notably, Fumika is more reserved and often states that Fuuka's pranks aren't such a good idea, but she always gets dragged along and always gets into it anyways.

* Ami and Mami Futami from ''VideoGame/TheIdolMaster'' can be read more about below. In ''Manga/PetitIdolmaster'', their puchi counterparts take this further. Each puchi has a single strange power or exaggerated trait, and for Koami and Komami, it's that they do little else but play over-the-top pranks on everyone else, even when there was no logical opportunity for them to have set it up.
* Roobear gets talked into babysitting the younger siblings of his friends Nick and Pamie, a penguin quartet of these in ''Anime/AdventuresOfTheLittleKoala'' when he's seeking the extra money needed to buy a toy train he has his eye on. He was warned they were a handful.
* The two half-demon twin brothers from ''Anime/InuYashaTheMovieFireOnTheMysticIsland'' Dai and Roku qualify for this.

* Freddy and Ferdy Fox from ''ComicStrip/RupertBear''.
* ''Franchise/WonderWoman'': In the [[ComicBook/WonderWoman1942 Golden Age]] the Holliday Girls triplets Lillie, Tillie, and Millie Heyday are all quite fond of participating in the wacky pranks their pseudo sorority pulls, as well as making people confused about [[TwinSwitch which one]] of the three identical sisters they're talking to.

* ''Fanfic/HarryIsADragonAndThatsOK'' not only has the Weasley twins, but also Tyler and Anne Smith [[spoiler:who are actually Kitsune]] who often get into prank wars with each other. [[spoiler:Thanks to this, Peter is caught out during Harry's second year, leading to the release of Sirius Black earlier than in canon.]]
* [[Franchise/{{Transformers}} Sideswipe and Sunstreaker]] are often portrayed as a pair of mischief makers who never miss a chance to play a prank, regardless of how often they're yelled at or otherwise punished.

* {{Downplayed}} in ''Literature/PercyJacksonAndTheOlympians'': Travis and Connor Stoll aren't actually twins, but they look so much alike that Percy can't initially remember which one is older. (It's Travis, for the record.) They love playing pranks, but they're also responsible enough to be co-heads of Hermes' cabin after Luke [[spoiler:[[FaceHeelTurn is revealed to be working for]] [[BigBad Kronos]]]]. In later books, Travis is at college while Connor remains at camp.
* "Trouble Twins" Florida and Dallas from ''Ruby Holler'', although it's [[JustifiedTrope justified]] in that they're mistreated by the owners of the orphanage where they live and strike back in the only way they can; Dallas is actually a NiceGuy and Florida is a JerkWithAHeartOfGold.

* Adam, Byron, and Jordan from ''Literature/TheBabySittersClub'' are Trickster Triplets.
** Marilyn and Carolyn Arnold in their first appearance, but it turns out [[spoiler: they're just acting out because they're sick of being treated like [[SingleMindedTwins one person]]]]. They're much better when they show up later.

* The Kokonoe twins, Ayaka and Ayaka, in ''Literature/GirlsKingdom'' are both mischievous twins who love to prank, molest, and otherwise troll those around them, including their own boss, Kagura. The protagonist, Misaki, would prefer to avoid them as much as possible, but since her mistress is part of same salon as the Ayakas' mistress, she gets to deal with them daily, though they do let off a bit when Kirara enters Kagura's employ as well, since they have another new toy to play with.

* In an episode of ''Series/ILoveLucy'', Lucy tries to earn some quick baby-sitting money and agreed to watch a ten-year-old boy. What she doesn't know is he has a twin brother, who the mother quietly drops off in the living room while she and the first boy are in the kitchen. Wackiness ensues as it appears the one boy disappears and reappears between the two rooms until the ending.
