Kimi previously attempted to get Chuckie to campaign for her, which Angelica uses to convince Chuckie to turn on Kimi. Then Suzie gets in Kimi's ear and convinces her to play as dirty as Angelica. All this culminates in the two revealing dirty secrets about each other during the debate and declaring hate for each other, refusing to even sit near each other at their parents' ten-year anniversary party.

While most examples of the trope have all sides mad at each other, TJ's not mad, he's just confused ("I have several friends, and I lose them all because I have several friends?").
  • The Replacements: Riley and Tasumi fight over a dress that neither of them owned. This small fight escalates into a full blown wrestling match.
  • Rocko's Modern Life: In "Speaking Terms", Rocko and Heffer have a falling out due to Heffer forgetting Rocko's birthday which Rocko overreacted to, and the two end up on a talk show where they explain the events "Rashomon"-Style (Rocko demonizing Heffer into a hulking monster, Heffer demonizing Rocko as an ungrateful rat). It takes a calling-out from Heffer's adoptive mom (much to Heffer's embarrassment) to convince the two to repair their friendship.
  • Rugrats (1991):
    • "Family Feud" was about a feud between Stu & Didi and Betty & Howard over a game of charades. (Though the wives initially find their husbands' fight ridiculous until they began to criticize the other's husbands.) The babies' attempts to end the feud only make it worse.
    • "Farewell, My Friend", formerly the Trope Namer (with Tommy and Chuckie). What makes the feuds between the Pickles and the DeVilles so much different than between Tommy and Chuckie is that the former is fueled by pettiness (which leads to Chaz, Chuckie's dad, calling them out on said pettiness) while the latter is fueled due to actual hurt feelings.
    • Tommy and Chuckie then get into another one in "The Odd Couple" as they begin complaining about how each other does everything over the course of the episode. They do make up near the end.
    • Tommy and Chuckie have yet another feud in "Opposites Attract", when Tommy wants to climb rocks, Chuckie wants to pick dandelions, and neither one wants to do the other's activity. During this time, they meet two kids with personalities similar to theirs; a girl named Samantha, and a boy named Freddie.
  • The Simpsons explored this with Bart and Milhouse, more than once. The first was the over-a-girl variety in "Bart's Friend Falls in Love".

  • South Park had several episodes with Stan and Kyle akin to the fights Carly and Sam had:

Once Squidward realizes what he did when both ex-friends want him to be his friend, he comes up with a plan to get them to be friends again.
      • As the series progresses, SpongeBob and Patrick have more of these in episodes such as "The Fry Cook Games", "New Student Starfish", and "The Battle Of Bikini Bottom". Later seasons tone them down after Stephen Hillenburg returned.
    • Squidward and Mr. Krabs get into one in "Can You Spare A Dime". Mr. Krabs accuses Squidward of stealing his dime and after an argument, Squidward quits working at the Krusty Krab. After Mr. Krabs realizes that his dime was inside his pocket the whole time, he and Squidward reconcile...until Mr. Krabs assumes he put the dime inside his pocket.
    • In a rare case, SpongeBob and Squidward get into this in "Employee of the Month" where SpongeBob and Squidward become rivalrous in competing for the employee of the month awards, something that SpongeBob has won 26 times and Squidward has never won. SpongeBob simply got paranoid and Squidward, as usual, was angered by his antics and basically wanted the award as revenge.
    • Later in the episode "Yours, Mine and Mine", Mr. Krabs creates a Krabby Patty licensed toy. SpongeBob names it "Patty Pal". Patty Pal was taken by Patrick, who spends the rest of the day playing with it and does not let his best friend play with it. The next day, Patrick stills refuses to let SpongeBob play with Patty Pal. This causes a huge fight between them. The fight stops in the end when Mr. Krabs punishes the two for letting a single toy nearly ruin their friendship, and hands each of them another toy to even it out.
  • Steven Universe:
    • In "Keystone Motel", this happens between Ruby and Sapphire due to the fact that they don't know how to deal with the fact that Pearl had pissed them both off in the previous episode when she tricked Garnet by fixing the Communication Hub Peridot originally repaired so that she and Garnet could fuse into Sardonyx as many times as she wanted. Sapphire wants to forgive Pearl right away, while Ruby doesn't. It doesn't help that Sapphire was acting cold and emotionless towards Ruby, which led Ruby to believe that Sapphire didn't care about what Pearl did to them and that she had no feelings towards the matter whatsoever. It isn't until Steven snaps at both of them — as he started to believe that it was his fault that things were getting worse between them — that they realize just how awful they were to each other and to everyone around them, leading both of them to gradually reconcile and fuse back into Garnet at the end of the episode.
    • In the aptly-titled "Restaurant Wars", this happens between the owners of Beach Citywalk Fries and Fish Stew Pizza over restaurant menus, after Peedee adds mozzarella sticks to the menu of the former.
  • Super Noobs:
    • "A Noob Divided Cannot Noob" has aliens Memnock and Zenblock bitterly end their friendship after they get into a nasty fight over their nighttime habits and they both move out of their Earth house and into the houses of the Noobs. Their night habits start to exhaust the Noobs. After cooking up several insane schemes and tactics to get Memnock and Zenblock to reconcile and be friends again, which all failed, the Noobs eventually realize that Memnock and Zenblock moved out and ended their friendship in the first place because they were both too uncomfortable with living in their own house together as roommates due to the small space of the house and the fact that they were both large aliens, whose size, combined with their different hobbies and interests, caused them to get heavily stressed out with living together as they showed such stress when they initially bought the house and eventually they reached their breaking point. The noobs decide to expand the house which includes a new personal bedroom for Zen to help with his sleepwalking and a kitchen for Mem where he would enjoy his cooking without having to deal with the small spaces. Memnock and Zenblock reconcile after they start to feel comfortable with living in their house again as a result of the expansion.

After an argument causes them to fall out of the sky, Baloo and Louie form an alliance to get Baloo's Lube N' Lunch shut down.
  • The very first episode of Teen Titans has this between Robin and Cyborg.
  • Teen Titans Go! had an episode called "Burger Vs. Burrito" where Cyborg and Beast Boy can't agree on what to eat. Cyborg wanted to eat hamburgers while Beast Boy wanted burritos. At the end, because of what kind of food they eat (especially because Beast Boy was a vegetarian), their foods were good. Then they picked dessert, Cyborg wanted pie while Beast Boy wanted ice cream. Instead of getting back into another feud, they decided to have "hot pie with ice cream on top".
  • In the Theodore Tugboat episode, "Theodore in the Middle", George and Emily have a feud when George makes an official complaint of Emily for her constant lateness to the morning work meeting. As the title implies, they use Theodore as a proxy to make their displeasure towards one another known.
  • Thomas & Friends:
    • In the episode "Thomas, Percy, and the Coal", Thomas and Percy had a fall out after Thomas accuses Percy for intentionally allowing him to get covered in coal, even though Percy laughed at him. But then Thomas got back at Percy, laughing at him when he, too, fell into the coal. At the end, they reconciled and make sure they will be careful in dealing with the coal.

  • Timon & Pumbaa has the titular characters Timon and Pumbaa getting into several feuds with each other in multiple episodes with one of them featuring them vowing to split up after Timon forgets to get Pumbaa a gift to celebrate "Bestest Best Friend Day" with him. Apparently, their philosophy of "Hakuna Matata" does not protect them from bickering with each other.
    • Their bickering is not exclusive in their own series as an episode of House of Mouse had Timon and Pumbaa split up again after having a disagreement on whether their talent act should include stand up comedy or magic tricks. They reconcile after Timon decides to protect Pumbaa from being humiliated onstage.

  • The Weekenders, "Taking Sides" (with Tino and Carver: Carver has just called Tino a wuss because Tino didn't like Carver's attempt at an off-the-wall, literally, poolshot... well, it meant the diff between winning and losing the game, so Tino had a good reason.
