%% Kaoru and Hikaru in ''Manga/OuranHighSchoolHostClub'' bicker regularly.
%% Considering twins make up half the cast, it's only natural this trope pops up a lot in ''Anime/{{Futakoi}}''.
%% Shion and Mion from ''VisualNovel/HigurashiWhenTheyCry'', occasionally, but sometimes it [[{{Yandere}} isn't]] for laughs.

%% Ethan and Evan in ''FanFic/{{Dalton}}''

* Creator/RobertAHeinlein:
%% Castor and Pollux Stone from ''Literature/TheRollingStones''

** Subverted in ''Literature/TimeForTheStars''. Tom and Pat Bartlett ''think'' they have a private language that no one else understands, which they refer to as a "prison-yard whisper". They participate in a study of twin communication, which proves that they can't understand audio recordings of the "whisper". It turns out that they're [[TwinTelepathy telepathic]]. And the telepathy is instantaneous and has no range limit. It works over ''interstellar'' distances.

%% ''Literature/TheBelgariad'''s Beltira and Belkira. ''"We're sorry, it's - " "Our nature."''
%% Erin and Shaunee from ''Literature/TheHouseOfNight'', dubbed "the Twins" out of personality rather than resemblance, which is more SaltAndPepper.

%% The comedy duo, [[http://www.stoneandstone.org/ Stone and Stone]]. SiblingYinYang and IncestSubtext ahoy.

%% The Sklar brothers of ''Series/CheapSeats'' (Also a staple of their stand-up routine.)

* Laila and Leili ''Manga/ABridesStory''. Their banter is frequently so in synch that it serves as a genuine shock to them when they have a differing opinion.

* Fred and George Weasley from ''Literature/HarryPotter''. They both can finish each other's sentences, which often includes sarcastic quips.

* Goes to show that even sextuplets can engage in it. The Matsunos from ''Manga/OsomatsuKun'' frequently squabble, confuse each other and aren't above tricking each other too. Gets even worse in ''Anime/OsomatsuSan''.

* Kaoru and Hikaru in ''Manga/OuranHighSchoolHostClub'' bicker regularly.
* Considering twins make up half the cast, it's only natural this trope pops up a lot in ''Anime/{{Futakoi}}''.
* Shion and Mion from ''VisualNovel/HigurashiWhenTheyCry'', occasionally, but sometimes it [[{{Yandere}} isn't]] for laughs.

* [[NationsAsPeople Ame]][[LoveFreak rica]] and [[ShrinkingViolet Canada]] get to do this occasionally in ''Webcomic/AxisPowersHetalia'', when they're alone together and America happens to remember he has a brother. Though there's usually a [[BoisterousBruiser clear winner]] there.
** With a notable exception - that one time Canada made America [[CryCute cry]] by [[TheLongList listing off everything he didn't like about him]].
