History Main / LikeAnOldMarriedCouple

* In ''LightNovel/CookingWithWildGame'', although they have only lived together for a few months, Ai Fa can predict when Asuta is about to say something stupid, which she uses to prepare punishment (for example, a bucket of water to throw on him) accordingly.

* [[Creator/WillSmith Detective Spooner]] and [[HotScientist Doctor Calvin]] in ''Film/IRobot''.

** This is how Dorothy defines Billie and Walky's relationship. [[http://www.dumbingofage.com/2011/comic/book-2/01-pajama-jeans/something/ Billie is not amused]].
** When Joe and Danny start bickering, Jacob [[http://www.dumbingofage.com/2013/comic/book-3/03-answers-in-hennessy/dan-it/ comments]] "You guys are a little married, huh."
* ''Webcomic/GirlGenius'' had it PlayedForLaughs with Moloch commenting on Violetta and Tarvek [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20080926 here]]. With IronicEcho when Tarvek reflects it on Violetta and Moloch himself (she had some interest in him, though it's not clear how much reciprocated) [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20110425 later]].

* ''Webcomic/VampireCheerleaders'': Zoe and Suki's friends often joked about them [[http://www.vampirecheerleaders.net/strips-vc/meet_the_parents_12 being that way]], due to their constant bickering. At one point, Lori even tells them to scissor and get it over with. But it's ultimately subverted in vol. 4, when it's revealed the attraction was one-sided on Zoe's end, [[IncompatibleOrientation since Suki is straight.]]

* ''Machinima/RedVsBlue: The Blood Gulch Chronicles''

-->'''Diaval:''' How could you ''do'' [[BalefulPolymorph that]] to me?\\

* Monk and Ham in the ''Franchise/DocSavage'' novels.

* Practically every character who is sarcastic or has a bad temperament in ''Webcomic/{{Homestuck}}'' (Read: EVERYONE) is prone to this, most notably [[HairTriggerTemper Karkat]] with [[TheHyena Terezi,]] [[LittleMissSnarker Rose]] with [[TheStoic Dave,]] and [[NotSoStoic Dirk]] with [[HardDrinkingPartyGirl Roxy.]] Other noteworthy examples include the endless bickering of [[KnifeNut Spades Slick]] and [[OnlySaneMan Diamonds Droog,]] and [[TheHero John]] and [[CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass Jade]] later on in the story.

** Jumba and Pleakley have some of their moments of this as well, which includes disguising themselves as such a couple even when there's no need to and even having some spats with each other.

* ''Literature/TheMurderbotDiaries''. In ''Network Effect'', when Murderbot gets miffed with the AI controlling the starship ''Perihelion'' and refuses to speak to it, the humans want to know if they have a relationship. Assuming they're referring to a sexual relationship Murderbot is grossed-out, but it's not helping its case when Muderbot and ''Perihelion''later use their combined code to create a sentient killware virus [[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything which the humans promptly compare to making a baby]].

* ''Literature/TheMurderbotDiaries''. In ''Network Effect'', when Murderbot gets miffed with the AI controlling the starship ''Perihelion'' and refuses to speak to it, the humans want to know if they have a relationship. Assuming they are referring to a sexual relationship Murderbot is grossed-out at the thought, but it's [[NotHelpingYourCase not helping its case]] when they later use their combined code to create a sentient kill-virus [[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything which the humans promptly compare to making a baby]].

* Sid and Momma Dino’s interactions in ''WesternAnimation/IceAge3DawnOfTheDinosaurs'' when their different parenting methods are brought up. When trying to feed the baby T-Rexes, Sid points out how he tries to have a conversation with her and all she does is growl at him.

* ''Webcomic/TheInexplicableAdventuresOfBob'', Bob [[http://bobadventures.comicgenesis.com/d/20070828.html says this]] to the [[SpacePirates Pirates of Ipecac.]] And it turns out he's right!

* ''ComicBook/{{Bone}}'' gives us the Two Stupid Rat Creatures, Smelly and Stinky. Pretty much every time they appear they spend most of their panel time bickering with each other like idiots. The fact that one of them is hopelessly determined to eat a quiche dosen't help.

* In ''WesternAnimation/StrangeMagic'', late in the film the fairy knight Roland realizes that [[spoiler:his ex-fiancée the fairy princess Marianne and the seemingly "[[JerkWithAHeartOfGold evil]]" Bog King]] have fallen in love because they start arguing like a couple. He says in a very shocked way "Are you actually having... a ''lover's tiff?''"

** [[ThoseTwoGuys Bucky and Pronk Oryx-Antlerson]], Judy Hopps' noisy neighbors, argued like this for at least half of their screen time (limited as it was), though their arguments are mostly childish exchanges along the line of [[NoYou "No, YOU shut up!"]]. According to co-producer Jared Bush (who voiced Pronk), [[WordOfGay Bucky and Pronk actually are a married couple]]!

* This is the relationship between ''Film/{{Maleficent}}'' and Diaval, helped by the fact they've been {{Parental Substitute}}s for Aurora ever since she was a baby.

* During a discussion of gay marriage on ''Radio/TheNewsQuiz'', Alan Coren claimed to be in "a form of marriage" with his regular ''News Quiz'' and ''Call My Bluff'' sparring partner Sandi Toksvig (it may or may not be relevent that Sandi is in fact a lesbian).

* In the final scene of ''Theatre/TheMoonIsBlue'', when Patty suddenly starts arguing with Don about spending so much money on gambling, he tells her: "Will you kindly shut up? We're not married yet." She smiles, realizing what he's just said.

-->'''Mackenzie:''' This [football] team in a juggernaut [[spoiler: Jenna (Darabond)]]. So like it or not, they're going to state. And when they win state, everyone's gonna want to hang out with them. And who will they be standing next to? The brand new, better than ever Overland Park Cheer Squad.\\

* ''Webcomic/VampireCheerleaders'': Zoe and Suki's friends often joked about them [[http://www.vampirecheerleaders.net/strips-vc/meet_the_parents_12 being that way]], due to their constant bickering. At one point, Lori even tells them to scissor and get it over with. But it's ultimately subverted in vol.4, when it's revealed the attraction was one-sided on Zoe's end, [[IncompatibleOrientation since Suki is straight.]]

''WesternAnimation/TheGrimAdventuresOfBillyAndMandy'': in "Better Luck Next Time," Grim's cursed cuckoo clock sends Billy and Mandy through time. In one scenario, they're in the future where they come across their senior citizen selves. Mandy still belittles Billy, even saying the same things present Mandy is saying at the same time.

* ''Disney/LiloAndStitch'':

* ''Disney/TheLionKing'': Timon and Pumbaa do not show much of this in the films but its very evident in their own series as they frequently bicker with each other. Apparently, their philosophy of "Hakuna Matata" does not protect them from having such bicker spats.
* Used in a deleted scene of ''Disney/ThePrincessAndTheFrog'', between [[AllWorkVsAllPlay Naveen and Tiana]].

* ''Disney/{{Zootopia}}'':

* Tonker and Lofty in ''Discworld/MonstrousRegiment''. Jackrum blurts out 'What are you, married?' at them in the middle of the book, though it's quite likely that he already knew they were an item.

* Anak Zahard's parents in ''Webcomic/TowerOfGod''. Sure, her [[RebelliousPrincess mother]] mourns the lack of luxury from her old days as Zahard's princess; sure, they fight a lot, but dammit, they are risking their lives to be together and he makes [[SeriousBusiness the best damn chicken pie of the whole Tower]], so they make it work.
