Reality TV loves to stick people with completely opposite views together. Not only that, these people will always be from the absolute extreme fringes of their respective cultures. In other words, they will be people holding the real-life equivalent of Strawman Political views. For instance, if a liberal and conservative are paired together, the liberal will be a pansexual, peace-loving to the point of Stupid Good, vegan hippie anarchist with a penchant for wild conspiracy theories, and the conservative will be a rich, homophobic, fundamentalist Christian with a thick country accent who thinks the U.S. should blow up Iran. This ensures (hopefully) there will be lots and lots of Ham-to-Ham Combat, but also that there is no one on the show a more balanced person could relate to. This fighting will be completely pointless, of course, since both sides will be far too narrow-minded to even consider the other side's arguments. Both sides will also be too stubborn to see this, or the fact that they're not that different (this can overlap with The Horseshoe Effect). Their issues with each other may be inexplicably resolved when the show ends with the Apology Scene. (Interesting how they only decide to apologize when the show's about to end, though Manipulative Editing might have a hand in that.) In the more farcical fictional works, an extremely perverse showman might deliberately bring together differing factions he knows full well will try to kill each other, either for sadistic entertainment or for some other flagrantly selfish purpose. If this is done in order to make a case for some in-between position, it's the Golden Mean Fallacy. If it's done for humor with purportedly real people, it's a Point-and-Laugh Show. See also Rule of Drama. |

Parodied quite often by Horrible Histories with a segment Historical Wife Swap, where each woman goes to live with a family that is the opposite of hers (Spartan vs. Athenian, Anglican vs. Puritan, Rich Upper-class Victorian vs. Poor Working-class Victorian etc.). | |

Shin Megami Tensei: A very, very not-funny variant in God and Lucifer's endless, world-spanning war with each other. God's a rigid control freak who believes the only path to peace is blind worship of him, while Lucifer stands for absolute, unrestrained freedom with no rules or security whatsoever. What pushes it into Nightmare Fuel is their nasty habit of picking the Human World as their battleground, and between their shared Lack of Empathy, their willingness to do virtually anything to win, and their mind-shattering levels of power, their feud has left more than one apocalypse in its wake. | |

The Daily Show, once upon a time, had Stephen Colbert and Steve Carell as correspondents. They did a segment called "Even Stevphen" that had them basically take polar opposite views on everything. "Yes!" — "No!" — "Yeeeeeeessss!" | |

60 Minutes had a segment called 'Point/Counterpoint' in which Jane Alexander and Jack Kirkpatrick would give their different 'takes' on an issue. He got so grumpy and she got so shrill that it veered into self-parody. | |

The two mayoral candidates featured in the Will & Grace episode "Star-Spangled Banter". The female candidate supported by Grace opens by announcing how nice it is to see so many white faces attending her fundraiser, while the gay candidate favored by Will ranted about things like driving all of the homeless out of the city and keeping women in the home. | |

Angus in Questionable Content mentions he works as a strawman (he's paid by the opposition to go act like a ridiculous caricature of a group, convincing voters to look elsewhere) and that he at one point got into a very heated argument at a rally before figuring out the other guy was a hired strawman as well. | |

In All in the Family, bigoted white guy Archie Bunker got a new neighbor in the form of George Jefferson (who would later star in the Spin-Off The Jeffersons) who is a bigoted black guy who couldn't stand whitey. Both men had the same repulsed reaction upon meeting the interracial (white man, black woman) parents of Jenny, George's soon-to-be daughter-in-law, leading them to commiserate "What's the world coming to?" One early episode had George's brother Henry (who appeared on the show for the first couple of seasons while George was relegated to an unseen character) arguing with Archie when it was believed another black family was moving onto the street and Archie was helping circulate a petition to keep the newcomers out of the neighborhood. Then it was discovered the family was actually Puerto Rican... and Henry signed the petition himself. Archie and his son-in-law Mike "Meathead" Stivic sometimes fell into this pattern when Mike got self-righteous or hypocritical about his liberal views. |

Saturday Night Live: Brilliantly spoofed in a memorable parody sketch, where they depicted The Real World cast as including an Oklahoman who hated the Irish, an Irishman who hated black Londoners, a black Londoner who hated American black women, a black American woman who hated Italians, an Italian who hated white trash, a white trash girl who hated Eskimos, an Eskimo who hated lesbians, and a lesbian. SNL had a sketch called "The Blame Game" which pitted a white racist and a black racist against each other in a game show. To top it off, it turned into "Straw Feminist vs. Sexist" when the game show girl angrily demanded that the host not patronize her by calling her "honey", prompting him and the other two men to snark, "Jeez, what a bitch. What's her problem?", "She's probably not getting any", "Either that, or PMS". "Count/Pointercount": SNL's parody of the above-mentioned "Point/Counterpoint". Jane Curtin would usually go first, with Dan Aykroyd leading off his rebuttal with "Jane, you ignorant slut!" |

Spoofed in the South Park episode "Goobacks", where a "pissed-off white trash conservative redneck" and an "aging hippie liberal douchebag" appear on The O'Reilly Factor to discuss the issue of immigration from the distant future. The hippie spouts feel-good platitudes like "America was founded on immigration", with the redneck countering with slogans like "they took our jobs!" | |
