7 | Well, TheNounAndTheNoun [[JustForFun/XMeetsY meets]] CharacterTitle. Usually the title characters are either lovers or HeterosexualLifePartners. This is also a standard title form for {{Buddy Cop Show}}s. It's also the obvious choice for a SketchShow starring a [[DoubleActsAndGroups Double Act]]. |
8 | |
9 | A variant, often found in slacker comedy films, is "[[CharacterActionTitle Name and Name Do Stuff]]". (See also EpisodeFinishesTheTitle.) |
10 | |
11 | If one of the names is mostly irrelevant, see LesserStar. |
12 | |
13 | SubTrope of MultiCharacterTitle. See also AlliterationAndAdventurers. If the characters are lawyers or similar professional partners (or names that evoke this), may overlap with TheLawFirmOfPunPunAndWordplay. |
