* Bill and Ben in ''Literature/TheRailwaySeries''. Edward and [=BoCo=] are the only ones who can keep them in order.
** Donald and Douglas had a bit of a tricksy streak when they first arrived on Sodor, pulling a few TwinSwitch gambits to each get the other out of trouble, but once their place on the island was secure for both of them, they toned this down.

[[folder:Theater]]

* ''VideoGame/TheIdolmaster'' has Ami and Mami Futami. They enjoy playing pranks or teasing other people and, before Mami [[IdenticalTwinIDTag grew out her hair]], they looked identical. Their main stick in the first game was to [[TwinSwitch switch roles]] repeatedly and the producer had to figure out when it was Ami and when it was Mami. They toned down a little bit in ''Idolmaster 2'' on the pranking part.

[[folder:Webcomics]]

* ''Franchise/WonderWoman'': 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.

%%* ''ComicBook/ZipiYZape''.

Woe to the fictional parents of the Trickster Twins. They are a set of siblings that are always up to no good in pursuit of sadistic delight. They are a magnet for trouble (either attracting it or causing it) and have to find a way through a series of convoluted {{plan}}s to escape the situation.

* Roobear gets talked into babysitting the younger siblings of his friends Pam and 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.

* "Trouble Twins" Florida and Dallas from ''Ruby Holler'', although it's [[JustifiedTrope justified]] in that they're mistreated by the owners of the orphanage they live in and strike back in the only way they can; Dallas is a NiceGuy and Florida is a JerkWithAHeartOfGold.

* Hikaru & Kaoru Hitachiin in ''Manga/OuranHighSchoolHostClub''. (They even appear as Cheshire Cats during a {{homage}} to ''Alice In Wondeland''.)
* Shion & Mion in ''VisualNovel/HigurashiWhenTheyCry''. Sometimes, it's funny. Other times, [[NightmareFuel it's not funny at all]].
* Fuuka & Fumika Narutaki in ''Manga/MahouSenseiNegima''. 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.

[[folder: Theatre]]
* Mungojerry and Rumpleteazer are a notorious couple of cats, knock-about clowns, quick change comedians, tight-rope walkers and acrobats! However, it is argued among ''Theatre/{{Cats}}'' fans whether they are twins, brother and sister or something else entirely, but due to their very almost identical markings and that they often hang out together it is mostly assumed that they are twins...
