* Pretty much everyone fom WebOriginal/AchievementHunter is this, notable examples are Jack and Geoff, and Michael and Gavin.
* In Webanimation/{{RWBY}}, Weiss and Ruby end up with some shades of this towards the end of Volume 1.

A season later, all it takes is a shared glance at each other for Weiss to know what to do to prevent the team and Oobleck from dying in a fiery crash.

* In WebVideo/ThomasSanders' ''Sanders Sides'' videos, the Sides easily qualify (except Patton, who doesn't have a mean bone in his body). They all deeply care for Thomas and consider themselves best friends, but they often get caught up in petty infighting, arguments, and pranks. Between Logan's haughtiness, Roman's self-centered nature, and Virgil's snarkiness, it's a miracle anything gets done.

* If you did not know {{WebVideo/STAR}}_ by his 'Sniper Stomper' video, you may have known him from his famous trilogy([[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CKsW2g0NZMs Ruiner of Fun]], [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HGr18BHG4ak Jerma is Mad pt 2]] and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Es9vGDlbmk part 3]]) where he made his his best bud, {{WebVideo/Jerma985}}, mad as hell and sending him into the vulgar humorous rage while STAR_ effortlessly outplay him time and time again and it extends beyond those videos. It's still clear that these two are the best buds, seeing that they keep playing with each other.

* Lyon and Valerian of ''Roleplay/ThereIsNoGATEWeDidNotFightThere'' originally despised each other, due to Lyon finding Valerian as stuck up and dishonest and Valerian thinking of Lyon as a barbaric idiot, though he held his tongue due to his respect for Kytheus. After the interlude *Vale and Ly's Excellent Adventure*, they've evolved into this trope, with Lyon insulting Valerian as usual and Valerian no longer holding back his true thoughts.

* Trixie and Jack of ''Podcast/BlackJackJustice'' fit the bill. Not an episode goes by where the two PI's don't bicker and threaten each other at a pace that would make the Gilmore Girls jealous. They even have some pat, oft-repeated gibes for when they're tired ("You miss me?" "With every bullet so far" is pretty common). Police Lt Victor Sabien fits this bill with both of them. In fact, when an episode opens with Vic walking in and not insulting them, that's their first, best clue that he's truly upset.
** For that matter, Jack and Freddie the Finger have a relationship of this sort, but a little softer and more gentle than the rest of the cast.

* Linkara and his RobotBuddy Pollo from ''WebVideo/AtopTheFourthWall'' are friends--but Pollo isn't above asking for embarrassing favors. When Pollo helped save Linkara from Mechkara, [[spoiler: who is really Pollo from an alternate universe wearing his Linkara's skin]], his favor involves being the host of an episode where he goes on a rant against Creator/GarthEnnis. Likewise, [[spoiler: when Pollo comes back in the review of the comic adaptation of ''Film/StarTrekIIITheSearchForSpock'' (having "died", fittingly, during the review of IDW's adaptation of ''Film/StarTrekIITheWrathOfKhan''), he wants to review the first issue of ''ComicBook/RedHoodAndTheOutlaws'' with Linkara in Pollo's place. When Linkara points out that (at the time), it didn't fall under his cutoff date, Pollo reveals that he has access to Linkara's bank accounts and thus forces Linkara to comply.]]

** LetsPlay/InTheLittleWood and LetsPlay/SoTotallyToby have a similar relationship. The two abuse and snark at one another constantly, with Martyn dishing out most of it, but they're good friends.
** Speaking of Martyn Littlewood, he has this sort of relationship with both LetsPlay/{{Strippin}} and [[Music/{{Area 11}} Sparkles*]] as part of the "Dream Team". They all enjoy hanging around together, but Sparkles* spends half his time snarking at the others, while Strippin gets a lot of the flak.
** LetsPlay/HatFilms have this sort of dynamic with one another, constantly abusing one another, killing each other in games for their amusement and snarking at each other. They're all really good friends in spite of this. They also love collaborating with LetsPlay/{{Sips}}, LetsPlay/{{Turpster}} and LetsPlay/LewisBrindley, but their competitive matches in ''VideoGame/GarrysMod'', ''VideoGame/TroubleInTerroristTown'', ''VideoGame/PropHunt'' and ''VideoGame/TheHidden'' are very profane.
** LetsPlay/{{Sips}} gets on well with LetsPlay/{{Sjin}}, but the former spends most of his time outright abusing the latter. He also gets on well with Hat Films despite their collaborative videos and constant swearing at each other.

And the rest of the time they're calling each other pal, helping each other through fear inducing challenges, and making SlashFic jokes. Woe betide anyone who unites them against a common enemy.

* Creator/BenCroshaw aka Yahtzee and his one-time bouncer, Gabriel Morton's relationship, or at how they're least depicted in their Let's Plays (or [[https://www.youtube.com/user/yahtzee19 "Let's Drown Out"]] due to its podcast style). Gabriel's a recovering alcoholic--a source of much chortling from the oft-soused, self-medicating Yahtzee--who 'takes up space' at Yahtzee's bar and doesn't order any drinks, is prone to big pontifical statements, and seemingly dislikes any genre of game that doesn't involve "[[BuffySpeak hit-y]]" things. Yahtzee has a competitive streak, compelling him to dissect everything Gabriel says and mock his shortcomings, such as his weight and investment in worthless history courses. It's apparently become so vitriolic that, in the beginning of 'Let's Drown Out Sims 3' video, they have to explain that they ''are'' best friends with each other and essentially told their viewers to go get friends in order to understand the subtlety of human interaction. Yahtzee also pointed out that if he openly insulted you, it means that he is comfortable enough with you to do so whereas if he's unnaturally polite, it meant he's gotten sick of you.
