** Steve and/or Pete say such awful things to each other as part of their in-jokes [[InnocentlyInsensitive that any overhearing parties instantly assume the absolute worst]] (such as [[MistakenForRacist racism]]) and even with plenty of explanation [[DudeNotFunny the duo are forced to end the gag for good]].

** Pete's idea of this trope is "friends willing to snipe each other as an in-joke". Steve's idea of two people insulting each other is "enemies", maybe allowing an EnemyMine alliance if the situation is that desperate. Goes without saying that PoorCommunicationKills.



* '''Played For Horror''': The "vitriolic" part of Steve and Pete's "vitriolic best buds" relationship goes all the way to attempted murder (with plenty of people dying as collateral damage), gory torture and things that are better off left unsaid to anybody who becomes an obstacle.

** Steve is too WrongGenreSavvy and thinks Pete's apparent IneffectualDeathThreats are this trope when in reality [[TheSociopath Pete]] sees Steve as a mortal enemy who is edging closer to [[OffingTheMouth a violent murder]] with each little bit of snark directed straight at Pete that flows out of his mouth. You can guess what happens when [[EtTuBrute "Steve's best friend" slices Steve's throat]].
