It's natural for people to bond over shared interests. This is an inversion of that: these people instead become closer due to realizing they both hate certain people, places, or things.
Contrast Enemy Mine, which is about bitter enemies temporarily setting aside their differences to face an even bigger threat, and Fire-Forged Friends, which involves hostile groups that become friends after fighting alongside each other. Unlike them, this trope doesn't necessarily pertain to people who hate each other and can include anyone from strangers, to acquaintances, to even friends and family members who've grown apart. Moreover, they don't need to fight alongside each other or work towards a common goal, either; they simply need to feel closer to one another after learning they dislike some of the same things. If the two sides are simply working together for pragmatic reasons but don't feel any closer to each other, then it isn't this trope.
Can be Played for Laughs to emphasize how something is so awful that people actually bond over their mutual resentment of it or show that a person puts their (often irrational) hatred above everything else if all it takes for them to bond with someone is for that person to hate the same thing. A Sub-Trope to Commonality Connection. See also A Shared Suffering, Bonding over Missing Parents, Lonely Together, and The One Thing I Don't Hate About You.

The two old men start ranting about their mutual dislike of doctors, which Charlie takes as a sign of progress.

Lidsville: The citizens of Lidsville hit upon the idea of giving wicked wizard Hoodoo a Love Interest based on the theory that he'll be too distracted to bother with the townsfolk. They hook him up with Witchiepoo from H.R. Pufnstuf, though it seems the two aren't going to hit it off. However, when the pair discover a shared hatred of muggles as well as a mutual enjoyment of tormenting them, they set off in Hoodoo's flying topper, zapping the bejesus out of the townsfolk. It seems wizards get wickeder when they're in love.

Lilo & Stitch: The Series: Exploited in "Snooty." Victoria wrongly thinks that Snooty is a vampire who's out to get her and agrees with Gantu when he calls the titular experiment "an abomination"; Gantu later uses this to convince Victoria to trust him and help him capture Snooty so that Gantu can transport the experiment to a prison asteroid and away from Victoria. He bluntly admits to her later, though, that he plans to use her as bait.

On The Big Bang Theory, Howard and Bernadette's relationship kicked off when they found they both had mutual dislike of their own mothers. Howard's mother is the stereotypical Jewish Mother and is considered the reason he grew up into such a Manchild. Meanwhile Bernadette's mother forced her to raise her siblings and also ran a daycare center where Bernadette was responsible for looking after all of the kids causing several issues for her mental health.

The Suite Life of Zack & Cody: In the B plot for "Scary Movie", London meets a delivery guy named Brandon and immediately starts crushing on him, only to hear him complain about how obnoxious rich people are. Worried that Brandon will hate her as well if he knows she's rich, London voices her agreement and lies that she's poor, to which Brandon responds by asking her out on a date to cheer her up. When he later finds out the truth, he declares that he doesn't think any less of her for it since she's (in his eyes) so sweet and down-to-earth.

Fraggle Rock: In "All Work and All Play", Cotterpin Doozer doesn't want to follow in the footsteps of all the other Doozers and become a construction builder. Wanting to learn to be a Fraggle and spend her days dancing and playing, she introduces herself to Red Fraggle, despite the fact that Fraggles don't tend to speak to Doozers. Red is taken aback and doesn't see how a Doozer could ever learn to be a Fraggle. What cements their friendship, though, is the fact that they both hate when they have to admit that they're wrong.

One Piece: In the cover story "Germa 66's Ahh... An Emotionless Excursion," Caesar and Judge re-unite many years after they went their separate ways. There's a shared flashback showing the pair as part of the scientific institution MADS in their younger days, as the two beat each other up in the present. Until they remember they both hate Vegapunk far more than they hate each other, set their differences aside, decide to join forces, and found NEO MADS.

Danny Phantom: Jazz tries to infiltrate Vlad's manor in "Secret Weapons" by telling him she's been having issues with her family and asking him to let her live with him instead. Vlad is initially annoyed by her suddenly showing up on his doorstep, but he quickly warms up to the idea of raising Jazz as his daughter after he hears her disparage her father Jack for being an idiot (she knows Vlad blames Jack for "stealing" Maddie from him). However, it's implied that Vlad suspected Jazz was hiding something from him from the start and always intended to use her for his own goals, which he later does in the episode.

Scarlet Lady:
The titular Nominal Heroine (Chloé Bourgeois with the Ladybug Miraculous) is so obnoxious that she's unwittingly brought many people closer together simply due to how much they hate her:
Adrien and Marinette had already begun to develop feelings for each other when he offers to walk her home at the end of "Origins." They grow even closer as they talk about how much they hate Scarlet Lady for Stealing the Credit for Chat Noir's victory, with Marinette even quietly murmuring, "I love you."
Played for Laughs in "Volpina," in which Lila gets akumatized into the titular akuma after Scarlet Lady cruelly humiliates her by throwing her into a fountain in the middle of winter. As Volpina, she's initially wary of Marinette, whom she views as a rival for Adrien. However, upon hearing Marinette declare Scarlet Lady "the worst," Volpina quickly does a 180, grabbing Marinette's hands while staring at her with starry eyes, though Marinette is rather uncomfortable with this. Played more seriously when Lila laments in "The Collector" that her social life has been ruined thanks to Scarlet Lady; Marinette saying that "Scarlet Lady sucks" helps Lila realize she's not as alone as she thinks, which ultimately convinces her to turn over a new leaf.
Alya initially bears a grudge against Lila for lying about being best friends with Scarlet Lady in an interview for the Ladyblog. She gradually buries the hatchet as she slowly sees Scarlet Lady for who she really is and realizes Lila's hatred of the Ladybug heroine may in fact be justified.
A variant when Chloé's half-sister Zoé Lee arrives in Paris and asks who Marigold is, being unfamiliar with Paris's superheroes. Chloé perceives this as an insult to the Bee heroine, whom Chloé hates, and noticeably warms up to her half-sister as a result, at least until Zoé reveals she doesn't know who Scarlet Lady is, either.
Chloé Bourgeois spends most of "Style Queen" fruitlessly attempting to bond with her mother Audrey, who simply isn't interested in anything her daughter has to offer. Then Audrey becomes the titular akuma after Gabriel deliberately slights her at his fashion show. Afterwards, Chloé suggests heading back to give Gabriel a piece of their mind, and her mother mutters "At last, something we can agree on."

Sonny with a Chance: Parodied in "Sonny With A Secret" when Chad suggests that Sonny and Penelope get to know each other over some shopping. Neither girl is impressed that he thinks that's all it takes for two girls to bond, telling him that they also need something in common to talk about... like how offended they are that he thinks any two girls can bond just by going shopping. The two quickly hit it off, though it's subverted when it turns out that Penelope was Evil All Along and had been plotting Sonny's death the entire time so she could have Chad all to herself.

Steven Universe: Future: In "Bluebird," this trope is what allows Bluebird Azurite to exist. Aquamarine and Eyeball (Ruby) fuse into a new form, but the trope is later subverted when they aren't able to maintain it, ironically, because of a shared dislike for each other. The trope is played straight again when Steven accidentally allows them to fuse when he reminds them that they need to have a common link to do so. That common link, however, happens to be each other's hatred for Steven, even though it's already been proven that Steven is the rightful heir to a position on the Diamond Authority.

The Golden Girls: In "Transplant," it's revealed that Blanche has a long-standing rivalry with her sister Virginia. After Virginia admits that she's dying of renal failure, Blanche decides to put that rivalry aside and offers to donate one of her own kidneys. It's not a match, but Virginia is able to find a donor anyway, and the two finally begin to heal their rift... by complaining about their other sister Charmaine. It seems that the Hollingsworth women have a predisposition to mocking one another.

The Infinite Loops: Han Solo and Anakin Skywalker/Darth Vader could not stand each other for eons. Then came Hurricane Billy and the duo would ultimately somewhat bond over one thing-how much they could not stand Billy.

Hey Arnold!: In "Quantity Time," Bob, after realizing how miserable Helga G. Pataki is, buys tickets for a musical he thinks she wanted to see (she actually wanted to see a wrestling match). They end up bonding because they both hate the musical.

Zero Punctuation: Yahtzee will occasionally invoke this trope in an attempt to avert He Panned It, Now He Sucks! by, in his own words, "review[ing] a game that absolutely nobody expected to be good and which entirely meets those expectations."

The Mountain and the Wolf: Tyrion and the Wolf get thoroughly smashed, drunkenly spill their backstories, and bring their cups together when it turns out both of them had to kill the woman they loved and then the man who pushed them to it (Tyrion's father, the Wolf's prospective father-in-law). It leads the Wolf to consider Tyrion a friend, though Tyrion wants nothing to do with the barbarian.
