* [[Film/BatmanForever Two-Face and the Riddler]] are another villainous variation.

* KendoTeamCaptain Kuno and the [[LooksLikeCesare pale]] outcast Gosunkugi frequently team up to defeat [[RanmaOneHalf Ranma]]. Though Kuno is shown in some stories to be unpopular himself and just [[SelectiveObliviousness oblivious]] to it.

* In ''{{Bully}}'', the game starts out with [[ManipulativeBastard Gary]] and [[NonActionGuy Petey]] playing this role, although it's not a perfect fit since Gary is more into mind games and emotional manipulation than physical bullying. When [[PlayerCharacter Jimmy]] takes Gary's place, the trope works better as Petey and Jimmy work as a BrainsAndBrawn team, although of course how much Jimmy acts like a typical bully is [[VideogameCrueltyPotential purely up to you]].

Usually played for comedy: Either the wimp is unhappy at being paired with the intimidating bully, the bully is [[EnemyMine unhappy that he's not allowed to beat on the wimp while they're supposed to be working together]], or embarrassed to be seen with him, or the two get along surprisingly well considering their normal relationship.

* [[TheWoobie Chrona]] and [[LivingWeapon Ragnorak]] from ''SoulEater''.
