** While Congresswoman [https://www.businessinsider.com/lauren-boebert-ditched-democrat-who-fondled-her-beetlejuice-2023-9 Lauren Boebert]] broke up with her boyfriend, who she infamously got kicked out of ''Theatre/{{Beetlejuice}}'' with, after learning that he was a Democrat. However, in contrast to her usual vitriolic tone, she described him as a "wonderful man" and "great friend."

** Well, until it was revealed that Fox News had paid five women approximately $13 million to settle various sexual misconduct lawsuits against O'Reilly, which led to the network terminating O'Reilly's employment. The two have both had shows on the air since this happened in 2017, but it would seem that Stewart has no desire to be a guest on O'Reilly's shows, or to have him as a guest on his.

* [[Series/TheOReillyFactor Bill O'Reilly]] and [[Series/TheDailyShow Jon Stewart]]. Despite being on opposite ends of the spectrum and slinging barbs at each other almost nonstop, they also seem to regard each other as [[WorthyOpponent worthy adversaries]] and have appeared on the other's show multiple times over. ** Well, until it was revealed that Fox News had paid five women approximately $13 million to settle various sexual misconduct lawsuits against O'Reilly, which led to the network terminating O'Reilly's employment.

** Also worth mentioning are [[Creator/FoxNewsChannel The Five]] co-hosts Eric Bolling(A conservative financial analyst) and Bob Beckel(Walter Mondale's presidential campaign manager, now a political pundit). They agree on next to nothing and take constant jabs at each other and their viewpoints. But the two are the best of friends and will stalwartly defend each other when outside sources take pot shots.

* Creator/PeterDavison and Creator/JanetFielding are great friends, and show it by almost constantly snarking at each other in a running battle of wit when they're together. In the interview section for "Time In Office", Fielding was concerned that Creator/LouiseJameson (who had actual personality clashes with [[Creator/TomBaker her Doctor]]) might have taken it the wrong way and wondered if they needed to tone it down until Jameson acclimatized to their dynamic, but Jameson knew it was all in good fun.

** During the Cold War, this was common among American, Canadian, and British troops serving in West Germany. Get them in the same bar and they'd be dissing each other in seconds. Try to provoke a bar fight with a soldier from one of those countries and you'd instantly have troops from any of the other two who happened to be there deciding to take an interest. In one instance a group of neo-nazi youths started harassing two African-American enlisted members just trying to have a drink, assuming that six-on-two would be an easy fight. [[OhCrap And then the group of British Army soldiers off in the corner and a group of Canadians in the other corner, none of whom had been interacting with the others, stood up...]]

* In the American News arena, you have political pundits James Carville, a passionate Democrat who worked for the Clinton campaign, and Mary Matalin, a staunch Republican who worked for George H. W. Bush's campaign. They often appear together on Creator/{{CNN}} with opposing viewpoints. They've been HappilyMarried since 1993. (Their secret? No shop talk at home, and certainly no political talk in front of their daughters.)

* Creator/LordByron and Creator/JohnKeats. One anecdote recounts that Byron had once cut contact with his circle of acquaintances for an alarmingly long time, and so Keats sent their mutual friend, Creator/PercyShelley, to look for him. Shelley eventually wrote back from Paris, having found Byron, who had been having so much sex that he nearly died from malnourishment and dehydration. Keats' answer basically boiled down to "You should have let him".

* Boston and New York. More than just a baseball rivalry. On the surface, they hate each other, but they have more in common than they like to admit, and Bostonians do travel down to New York quite often to take in the sights and the like, and the same goes for New Yorkers. Both cities have instantly come to help when disaster befalls the other, such as during the 9/11 attacks and more recently the Boston Marathon bombings.
