* ''WebVideo/MythicalKitchen'': [[MadArtist Mythical]] [[SupremeChef Chef]] [[CloudCuckoolander Josh]] claims to be trying to start a feud with Creator/GordonRamsay. It's not clear to what extent Gordon Ramsay even knows who he is.

** During the "Fairy Dance Arc", Kirito brings Yui up to speed on the situation regarding [[BadassInDistress Asuna being held captive]] by [[BigBad Sugou]] within ALfheim Online. Yui decides to use all her power to [[RoaringRampageOfRescue help her father rescue her mother from Sugou.]] Vowing to kill Sugou "By Any Means Necessary". Sugou being the System Admin of ''ALO''; who built the game off of the same coding as ''Sword Art Online'' is unaware of Yuis' existence as ''SAO''s' [[VirtualRealityWarper Admin-grade AI]], or that Kirito has her.

* [[LetsPlay/TheKingOfHate DarkSydePhil]] frequently makes antagonistic comments toward Creator/HideoKojima whenever he struggles on one of Kojima's games, which is often. Phil seems to view Kojima himself as his ultimate rival and really pushes how much he hates Kojima in some creative ways, such as deliberately killing Kojima's character avatar several times in ''VideoGame/MetalGearSolidVGroundZeroes'' and having a blast while doing so. By contrast, Kojima has never directly acknowledged Phil’s existence, only sending out one tweet that was possibly about Phil ("Fan sent me video of angry man playing [[VideoGame/MetalGearSolid3SnakeEater MGS3]]. Couldn’t figure out simple instructions. He said, 'Fucking Kojima,' a lot. Lol.") Phil seems to be aware that his rivalry is one-sided however, though he plays it up anyway. Phil himself is also ironically on the receiving end of this at times in the exact same way as Kojima is to him, whenever a vocal member of his {{Hatedom}} tries to get his attention and goes ignored.

* In ''Machinima/RedVsBlue'', Carolina is obsessed with proving that she is better than Texas and reclaiming her status as Number One on the leaderboard. Meanwhile, Texas doesn't really care about their one-sided rivalry and at times, even seems to pity Carolina, which only infuriates Carolina further. Unfortunately, [[spoiler:the rivalry ended up causing the death of a simulation trooper named Biff, and the annoyed dismissal of Biff's death by Carolina drove his friend Temple to declare a war against the Freelancer Project and all participants. In a classic case of FromNobodyToNightmare, Temple and his cohorts end up killing at least half a dozen of Freelancers, who are normally considered to be {{Super Soldiers}} of near-SPARTAN levels]].

Wiki/ namespace cleaning. Leaving Uncyclopedia one because it hasn't been moved yet.

* In ''Podcast/WelcomeToNightVale'', [[TheNarrator Cecil]] will express disgust with the rival town Desert Bluffs whenever they come up in his broadcast and will go on about how awful it is. When Night Vale comes up in Kevin's broadcast to Desert Bluffs, however, he makes no mention of any negative feelings between the towns and says that he bets Night Vale is wonderful and beautiful.

Added DiffLines:

* Back when it was still a parody magazine, ''Magazine/{{Cracked}}'' relished in taking pot shot after pot shot at ''Magazine/{{Mad}}''. Not once did ''MAD'' ever even acknowledge that ''Cracked'' existed. This was averted in RealLife, as ''MAD'' publisher William Gaines was so acutely aware of [[FollowTheLeader knockoffs]] that he had a ''voodoo doll'' in his office, and each pin was labelled with the name of a different magazine. To ''Cracked'''s credit, theirs was the only pin left in the voodoo doll by the time Gaines died in 1992.

Phil seems to view Kojima himself as his ultimate rival and really pushes how much he hates Kojima in some creative ways, such as deliberately killing Kojima's character avatar several times in ''VideoGame/MetalGearSolidVGroundZeroes'' and having a blast while doing so.

* ''WebVideo/DoctorHorriblesSingAlongBlog'': Not quite unknown, but Johnny Snow apparently repeatedly writes to Dr. Horrible, challenging him to showdowns, and doesn't seem to get that the feud is entirely one-sided.
-->"Look. Dude. You ''are not'' my rival!"
* ''WebVideo/DragonBallZAbridged'':
** After the Freeza saga, there's a RunningGag of the villains either not knowing or not caring about Vegeta.
** Garlic Jr. is dispatched easily by Mr. Popo without ever encountering any of the main cast.
* From ''Website/TheHardTimes'': "[[https://thehardtimes.net/music/rival-band-totally-indifferent-to-your-existence/ "Rival" Band Totally Indifferent to Your Existence]]". The band Gift Horse deeply hates the band Weed Killer, and are constantly playing pranks on them and trying to sabotage their success, which always backfires. Meanwhile, Weed Killer consider Gift Horse to be nice guys that they dimly remember meeting once.
* At the end of the pilot of ''WebAnimation/HazbinHotel'', Sir Pentious attacks [[TheDreaded Alastor]], giving a hammy WeMeetAgain speech. Alastor's response is "Do I... know you?", although Alastor being Alastor, he might have been just trying to make Pentious mad.
* A variant in ''WebVideo/KungTaiTed''. After being attacked by a hitman sent by bitter rival Solomon in his ''The Angry Dragon'' review, Ted pledges to find and defeat him. However, [[ScheduleSlip he takes so long in doing so]] that by the time he manages it in ''Golden Ninja Warrior'', Solomon has long since forgotten about him.
* In [[https://lparchive.org/Princess-Maker-2/ SynthOrange's]] LetsPlay of ''VideoGame/PrincessMaker2'', Lizzie Shinkicker earned the rivalry of Wendy because her magic prowess was ''slightly'' better then the rest. Every encounter with Wendy was hilariously short, as Wendy was a SquishyWizard and Lizzie was [[LightningBruiser well-rounded]] enough that she could often OneHitKill Wendy with her sword. Cube even comments on Wendy's desire to beat Lizzie as a "suicidal delusion."
* Radio/TrueCapitalist Radio has Ghost's enthusiastic and entirely one-sided vendetta against Alex Jones.
* [[http://logattopedia.wikinet.org/wiki/Main_Page Anthony "A-Log" Logatto]] is this to [[Webcomic/{{Sonichu}} Chris "Chris-Chan" Chandler]]; A-Log gained notoriety for his commentaries on Chris-Chan's videos, and would also wish harm towards Chris for, among other things, "giving autistics like him a bad name". Despite this, there has been no indication by Chris as to knowing who A-Log is.
** After Chris lost a talent contest for the video game ''VideoGame/PaRappaTheRapper'', Chris subsequently started a one-sided beef with the winner, a guy named Adam Stackhouse, who (at the time) had no idea who Chris was.
* WebVideo/TheNostalgiaCritic invokes this trope when he made a video telling WebVideo/TheAngryVideoGameNerd to stop letting his fans draw comparisons between them.
-->'''Critic:''' So, please, leave this petty, jealous rage behind you and simply acknowledge that I'm the better man. If you accept this defeat, please respond by leaving absolutely no comment whatsoever. In fact, don't even respond to this video. In fact, act like you have a million other things going on in your life that you wouldn't even have time to WATCH this video, let alone respond to it. Do that, and I will accept your apology.
* ''WebVideo/ThePittsburghSOAPranos'' has Sami entirely unaware that she has a rival soap shop, let alone that it's run by TheMafia and that they've attempted to issue death threats to her.
* The WebAnimation/{{Dorkly|Originals}} series ''WebAnimation/PokemonRalphie'' focuses on Ralphie, a former Bug Catcher who [[VideoGame/PokemonRedAndBlue Red]] beat when he first became a trainer. He's now a middle-aged man with delusions about being Red's number one rival and is intent on proving it. Red has [[RidiculouslySuccessfulFutureSelf become the head of a multi-million dollar Master Ball company]] and doesn't even remember him, saying that Blue is his only rival.
* In ''Machinima/RedVsBlue'', Carolina is obsessed with proving that she is better than Texas and reclaiming her status as Number One on the leaderboard. Meanwhile, Texas doesn't really care about their one-sided rivalry and at times, even seems to pity Carolina, which only infuriates Carolina further.

When Night Vale comes up in Kevin's broadcast to Desert Bluffs, however, he makes no mention of any negative feelings between the towns and says that he bets Night Vale is wonderful and beautiful.
** Cecil also very vocally declares his disdain for his supposed SitcomArchNemesis Steve Carlsberg. Steve is actually the human personification of a puppy dog, and treats Cecil with happy excitement.
* There's a couple of cases in the ''Literature/WhateleyUniverse''.
** One is Phase and Golden Girl -- Golden Girl wants to be the boss of her martial arts class, but Phase continually blows her out of the water by combining his weapons, his damn good powers and his gift for strategy. Phase really doesn't care about Golden Girl beyond 'she's an occasional annoyance', because he has real problems to deal with, while Golden Girl despises Phase utterly.
** Another is Nemesis and She-Beast -- She-Beast's father, Dr Diabolik, attacked a city and ended up killing over a hundred people, one of whom was Nemesis' grandfather. Nemesis blames Jadis personally, and Jadis' only response to her declaration of war was 'Take a number and get in line, bitch.'
* Wiki/TVTropes versus Wiki/{{Wikipedia}} (That Other Wiki if you're feeling bitter about it) with TV Tropes as the unknown one. Well, mostly unknown -- they do have an article about us, at least.
** Played far straighter with Uncyclopedia vs Wikipedia. The former can't stop badmouthing the latter. It is a shitpost site, after all.
