A Cop Show which focuses on a partnership, usually (but not exclusively) of two males, as opposed to a Cop Show which focuses on a single officer/detective or an entire squad, or Lovely Angels, the Distaff Counterpart. If the primary officers are a man and a woman, it's nearly always Strictly Professional Relationship. Buddy cop shows often give a good deal of focus to the emotional lives and relationship of the two Main Characters. Because of this, two tropes that this genre is strongly associated with are The Not-Love Interest (where the plot focuses on the initial development of their relationship, typical of movies), and Heterosexual Life-Partners or Platonic Life-Partners (where the plot focuses on a pre-existing relationship, typical of TV series and movie sequels). The buddies are often an Odd Couple, occasionally one black and one white. In terms of personality, they tend to follow a distinct formula-one is a straight-laced stickler for protocol, the other is an unpredictable loose cannon. One By-the-Book Cop, one Cowboy Cop. You get it. The primary thing keeping them together — before Character Development — is that together, they fight crime. And they do it very, very well. Movie versions abound, or at least they used to: Bad Boys (1995), Lethal Weapon, Die Hard with a Vengeance, etc. It was so common at one point that even making jokes at the expense of the genre became cliche. Increasingly common variants are partnerships between a cop and a scientist, a cop and a Boxed Crook, a female cop and a snarky guy, or Androids and Detectives. It should be noted that this is generally not truth in television, for the practical reason that since police departments often have a lot of territory to patrol and a finite number of officers to do it with, jobs that can be handled by a single officer usually are. However, it is unlikely to go away as a narrative convention because the best way to show an investigator working out what happened in a mystery to an audience is to have him talk about it, and unless one goes for the Film Noir convention of the monologuing detective, that requires giving the main character someone he can freely talk to about the case, and who better than another cop working the case? Subgenre of Buddy Picture. See also: Artistic License – Law Enforcement, Bromantic Comedy, Criminal Procedural, Forensic Drama, Cop Show, Police Procedural, Wunza Plot. |

During a Let's Play of The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask, Maxwell randomly brings up that there'd be a lot of comedy potential between Canada and Australia, which the others develop into an idea for a buddy cop movie with Australia as the wacky, wisecracking cop and Canada as the serious cop who's getting too old for this. | |

There's also an unnamed Show Within a Show that Gumshoe likes featuring a strong prosecutor/detective bond that's almost as good as the one Gumshoe (thinks that he) shares with Edgeworth. | |
