Two allies who are jointly combating a single, more powerful opponent get into an argument as they fight. The argument escalates into a shouting/screaming match, and they forget their opponent as they focus on each other. This usually leaves the enemy confused and/or amused. When he tries to interrupt the argument, often with the goal of restarting the original fight, both allies will bellow "Butt out!" or something similar at him. In some cases, the enemy becomes livid about being ignored and lashes out by attacking in anger. In others, frightened by their vehemence (or maybe just eyeing an easy opportunity to escape), the enemy may even slink away quietly, maybe muttering something about "clearly, we picked a bad time to do this". In others again, he might stop altogether fighting too as he comes to find the argument more important and is drawn into it, whether it is by picking a side or even outright trying to mediate between the two heroes. About half the time, this is a ruse on the part of the heroes, as a distraction or delay until they can find an opening against the villains — though it's usually based on real team tension and may get more serious than intended. Cousin trope of Long Speech Tea Time. Compare Divided We Fall. If you were looking for a trope where one ignores an enemy they shouldn't because they're dangerous, see Underestimating Badassery. |

Ranma ½: In the OVA "The One to Carry On", Ranma and Akane do this twice. Both times, Ranma has just shoved Akane out of the way from the enemy attack, ending up injured. Akane immediately yells at her for "getting in the way" and claims she can finish the battle on her own; Ranma gets indignant and gets back at Akane. Their foes simply take the chance to attack them both again with a combo attack — which knocks them out of commission the first time, and they barely dodge the second time. In the Non-Serial Movie Nihao My Concubine, RyÅ�ga charges into the scene intent on rescuing Akane... but finds UkyÅ�, instead. He's about to leave when she gets indignant and they both start arguing about the merits of saving her. Meanwhile, her captor, monkey-man Sarutoru, tries desperately to put a word in the conversation but eventually has to raise his hand and ask for permission to say something. |

This type of thing happens rather a lot in Bleach. When Ichigo rescues Rukia from execution, he gives her a nonchalant "Hey" while blocking a weapon capable of completely wiping a soul from existence with one hand. In a fight with Ishida Uryu, Rukia, Ichigo, and Kon start arguing with each other. Uryu's attempt to get them to listen to him, however, does end up working. Against the strongest Espada, Byakuya and Kenpachi start arguing about who is the stronger and better captain. When Yammy tries to attack them, they tell him he's in the way and attack him together. The remainder of the fight occurs offscreen. When the enemy makes their initial appearance in the last arc, Chad and Ishida ignore him in favor of eating some strange bread. Ichigo just wants the weirdo to get off his bed. |

The Road to El Dorado: Tulio and Miguel not only do this intentionally, they do it twice, first near the beginning of the film to escape some gamblers they've conned, then again near the end of the film to get the drop on Evil Chancellor Tzekel-Kan. However, the second example shows some heavy subtext between the protagonists and hints that the argument may only be semi-intentional. | |

In the It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia episode "Hundred Dollar Baby", the gang gets mugged and engage in a screaming match while the mugger unsuccessfully tries to butt in and threaten them. A common joke throughout the show is that the gang is more interested in arguing with each other than acknowledging the person they're supposed to be talking to. | |

8-Bit Theater: Black Mage is listening to Red Mage explain how he survived being stabbed in the head, being set on fire, and being worn as a hat by becoming one with the universe. In the middle of the discussion, one of the Four Fiends, who have been standing right next to them the whole time, tries to interrupt, as they have the apocalyptic battle at the end of the universe to fight, only for Black Mage to shout them down in annoyance. This is, incidentally, how the Light Warriors handle most threats. The enemy/boss will appear, be threatening, and the Light Warriors will mostly ignore it in favor of bickering among themselves and various other side discussions. Somehow, this generally works. Considering their enemies are generally stupid or too powerful to defeat, there doesn't seem to be much point in fighting. Also the White Mage seems to have been leading a group of real heroes that clean up after the Light Warriors and defeat enemies off-screen, like Chaos, while the Light Warriors move on and claim they defeated it. Double-way variant with the werewolf encounter. It opens with Black Mage, Fighter, and Thief bickering rather than paying attention to the werewolves, and a strip and a half afterwards, the werewolves start bickering rather than paying attention to the Light Warriors! |

RWBY: During a battle in Volume 3, Jaune calls the rest of Team JNPR together for a team meeting so they can clarify some of the code names he came up with. Team BRNZ, their opponents, stand in confusion for a few moments before trying to get JNPR's attention and get the fight back on track. A frustrated Jaune just has Nora go over and hit them with her hammer, ending the fight. In the finale of Volume 8, James Ironwood finally meets Salem face to face and angrily threatens her with his gun. Salem completely ignores and walks past him while discussing things with her subordinate Cinder Fall. This makes Ironwood completely lose his will to fight. |

Cowboy Bebop plays a variant of this trope in "Cowboy Funk". Spike and his Foil one-shot rival Andy get into a fight during their joint run-ins, while the villain (the Teddy Bomber), who ends up caught in the verbal crossfire, attempts to kill them both for the indignity of ignoring him. Twice. The second time, Andy is late, and Spike tells the mad bomber to his face that he didn't even come for him. | |

This is how the Discworld wizards at the UU inadvertently deal with their problems. They start arguing about how to defeat said problem, which quickly falls into name-calling and totally unrelated arguments, then after being ignored and shut down for several hours straight, the evil monster/threat slinks away because "even danger has its pride". Alternatively, they keep arguing and ignoring the threat until the solution (e.g. "run away" or "pelt it with fireballs") becomes obvious even to the slowest thinkers. | |

World of Warcraft: Played straight to a relieving degree in The Arcatraz: the two demons Dalliah the Doomsayer and Wrath-Scryer Soccothrates are too busy bickering to attack your party together. You choose to target one, and the argument apparently has gone so far as to have the one that you didn't attack HOPE for their ally to die. This, unfortunately, means bad news for them after you finish the first member of the group. And from their arguing, they're locked in Unholy Matrimony. Soccothrates, when killed, actually expresses relief at being freed from Dalliah. The Alliance airship Skybreaker and the Horde war zeppelin Orgrim's Hammer duke it out over Northrend, while the real enemy, the Scourge, is right below them. Representatives from neutral factions on both ships can be heard complaining how ridiculous this is. Even worse that both ships pack enough firepower to carpet-bomb the shit out of the Scourge in Icecrown. This reaches its (il)logical extreme when, during the final assault on Icecrown Citadel, the gunship of the opposite faction overtakes yours and the two factions have a full-on battle... right on the enemy's doorstep! At one point when the Alliance attacked the Scourge in Icecrown (in what would later be called the Broken Front), the Horde saw this as a wonderful opportunity to attack them, and after they finish killing each other, the Scourge gains a fair number of (not so) fresh recruits. Even Garrosh was disgusted by this. While it can kinda-sorta be traced back to a series of misunderstandings and a setup by the Twilight's Hammer, Garrosh Hellscream seems perfectly willing to ignore the world blowing up around him in order to attack the Alliance while they worry about the things doing the said blowing up. And then this war spills out into Pandaria when Ol' Deathy dies. Wrathion is pretty concerned about the enemy that is being ignored, whoever or whatever it may be, although as part of his plan involves one side getting a decisive advantage, some of his quests involve fighting against the opposing faction. In various zones, enemy monsters will often fight each other as well as the player. For example, in Tol Barad Peninsula, one quest involves you dealing with the souls of fallen Horde and Alliance soldiers, locked in one-on-one combat; often, the survivor only turns on you after you kill his opponent. |

Dragon Ball Z Abridged: Vegeta gives a Badass Boast to Cooler, unaware that Cooler isn't listening to what he's saying. Played With when it comes to him telling Android 19 to fight him instead of Goku by calling himself 19's primary threat only for 19 to continue focusing on Goku. The reason for this is because he was programmed to only listen to Doctor Gero who then proceeded to command 19 to turn his focus to Vegeta. |

Done by Wesley Snipes and Woody Harrelson in Money Train, when a group of three muggers have guns pointed at them. It starts out as a Mexican Standoff until the two of them start arguing so much that they turn their guns on each other while arguing angrily.

A comedic version in the Farscape episode "We're So Screwed, Part II: Hot to Katratzi." The good guys have to travel to a heavily armed Scarran outpost to free Scorpius/prevent him from telling the Scarrans about wormholes. When they finally get to him and are ready to make their escape, John and Aeryn start arguing over who will kill him, complete with Scorpius asking "May I speak?" and Aeryn and Crichton both saying "No!" It turns out that they're just using the threat of death to get the truth from him and have no intention of killing him at all. | |

Done intentionally in the film Galaxy Quest, as a ploy to distract the bad guys. However, Alexander (Alan Rickman) briefly "forgets" the nature of the ruse, and neglects to pull his punches. | |

In one issue of Dawn, Ahura Mazda and Lucifer — who look like identical twin brothers — get into a face to face argument (a resumption of their lover's quarrel; the author has an interesting take on theology). Darrian Ashoka finally breaks in with, "When was the last time you guys looked in a mirror?" and they turn on him and chorus angrily, "When was the last time you looked at your soul?" | |

Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V has a hilarious scene during Yuya and Dennis' tag team duel against Takeda and Umesugi. The latter two are obsessed with destroying Yuya and don't pay attention to Dennis at all, leading to Dennis giving a dramatic speech and overdramatic draw turning into a Funny Background Event as the camera focuses on Takeda and Umesugi discussing how they will crush Yuya. The two pay for ignoring Dennis when Dennis helps Yuya OTK both of them at the same time. | |

The House of the Dead: OVERKILL pulls this one out during the boss fight at the end of the Fetid Waters chapter. The big, bulbous swamp monster appears and approaches our heroes who are currently arguing about who will read it its Miranda Rights. After a quick deciding round of Rock-Paper-Scissors, Issac proceeds to recite them to this mutated thing, all the while dropping many a Cluster F-Bomb. Agent G loves every moment of it. | |

The Madness Combat series has Sanford and Deimos doing a silent version, picking out new clothes for themselves in an inexplicable department store as a squad of mooks prepares their forced entry outside. Bonus points for Sanford taking time to remove and discard his novelty T-shirt in the middle of a firefight. In the 6th Episode, while Hank, the protagonist, fights off Tricky's mooks inside a building, Tricky the Monster Clown walks outside to take a break, and without a care in the world, buys a hot dog from a nearby vendor. |

The Ref has a cat burglar named Gus kidnap a bickering couple on Christmas Eve while trying to escape after a big score gone wrong. However, being kidnapped does not deter the couple's bickering one bit. Gus will often try to get them to be quiet by threatening to shoot them, which does get them quiet... until they find something else to argue about. Unlike other examples of this trope, this is not a ploy by the married couple to try to annoy him, or get him to leave them, they really are so angry at each other that even a man with a gun can't stop them from fighting for long. | |

One Piece: In an episode, Luffy and Zoro end up defeating the real enemies (Mr. 5 and Ms. Valentine, two agents of Baroque Works) during such a fight. Ms. Valentine grows increasingly frustrated with this, and begins loudly expositing how dangerous her attacks are, partly as a boast, partly as a way of trying to get their attention back on her. Similarly, Sanji and Zoro get into arguments near constantly, and have been known to ignore their enemies for a while before kicking their ass just so they could concentrate on their bickering. Though, it tends to be less "kick ass" and more "curb stomp from hell". |

The Fairy Tail anime occasionally lampshades this by cutting to the opponent's nonplussed reaction while the protagonists (usually Natsu and Gajeel) are ignoring them to argue amongst themselves. One time, this was even used to have the villain show a Pet the Dog moment, as while Natsu and Happy were arguing with each other, Cobra and Cubellios took the time to look at each other in confusion before the villain gave his companion an exasperated yet soft smile. | |

In one route of Fate/stay night, Shirou and Rin encounter Lancer, and immediately fall to bickering because they both want to be the one to hold him off while the other flees. They don't notice he's still there until several minutes later. He doesn't seem to mind. He's not there to attack them anyway, but to offer an alliance. In the Blade Works anime, Archer and Shirou get into an argument while fighting Caster and get distracted. Caster is confused for a moment and stops attacking, but quickly recovers. |

However, the villain does manage to use the situation to his advantage, planting a bomb on Buddy while he is distracted. Earlier, Mr. Incredible and Elasti-Girl have a similar discussion over who deserves credit for taking down a thief. The thief interjects, giving Elasti-Girl the credit. And then Elasti-Girl promptly punches him out for interrupting their argument. She did not need his help, thank you very much. |

The man in the crow's nest warns of approaching pirates, but the captain, insulted by his malicious rumours, ignores him. The pirates, seeing no Gauls on the Roman ship, decide it's safe to board it... but when they try, they find the Roman crew too busy fighting each other to pay attention to the pirates. When the Romans finally notice them, it takes one lie from Convolvulus to make them collapse into infighting as well, among which Baba the lookout scuttles the ship. | |

When Clark brings it up, Harry just dismissively says, "he'll keep." This is largely explained by the fact that the villain is a Big Bad Wannabe by Harry's somewhat jaded standards. | |

Sailor Moon: One episode of the last season features far too many people, including most of the Sailor Senshi, the Starlights, and the Monster of the Week all showing up at Sailor Moon's house. Sailor Star Maker attempts to use her attack on the monster, and Hilarity Ensues as three Inner Senshi holds Maker down so she does not wreck the house with her attack, the other two Starlights attempt to pull them away, and the monster is completely ignored. The monster even taps Star Fighter on the shoulder, saying "excuse me", and is punched and told to "shut up". This has been going on since the first season. During their final fight, Sailor Moon responded to Jadeite's death threat by claiming she's too pretty to die, which lead to an extended argument involving Sailor Mars mocking her appearance until Sailor Mercury reminded them of the fight. |

Negima! Magister Negi Magi: In the manga, Negi and Kotarô briefly get into an argument over who would be better off facing their current opponent, a rather powerful demon, alone (specifically because Negi is inexperienced and Kotarô is weakened)... nearly getting into a fight to figure it out. They do it again much later during a tournament in the Magic World; they totally ignore their opponents to discuss training and strategy, prompting their opponents to get pissed and charge at them. Cue a one-hit KO from Kotarô and Negi. |

Firefly: Mal and Wash, strapped into torture devices and being periodically shocked with high voltage, carry on a conversation about Zoe (Wash's wife) being hot and whether or not Wash thinks Mal ever had sex with her. Mal was carrying on the conversation to distract Wash from the fact that they were being tortured. | |

Saiyuki plays this beautifully straight with Sanzo and Gojyo. During the one occasion that the two of them have to go on a mission together by themselves, they argue and exchange death threats near-constantly during fights. It actually bites them in the ass at one point when the enemy they're ignoring manages to tackle Sanzo off a cliff; fortunately Gojyo has good reflexes and an infinitely extendable chain. | |

Dragon Ball Z: When Son Goku arrives on Namek during the Ginyu Force fight, the first thing he does is calmly talk to his beaten-up friends and hand out healing items. The members of the Ginyu force there just stand around wondering what's happening, and why this mysterious person isn't paying them any attention. In Dragon Ball Z: Cooler's Revenge, Goku is distracted by Cooler. Cooler's henchman Salza runs up to Goku and punches him right in the face. Goku continues talking, not even noticing the hit. |

An earlier example of the ruse is used in Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade by Indy and his Dad. Indy's using the argument as a distraction, but his dad doesn't realize it until Indy kills the Nazis threatening them. | |

In Kingdom Hearts 3D [Dream Drop Distance], Riku runs in on Beat and Rhyme fighting the Spellican. As soon as he arrives, they lower their weapons, look away from the Dream Eater, and have a conversation for about two minutes about small insults, jokes, and general introductions until the Spellican becomes fed up, screeches, and flies away after another summoning of Dream Eaters. | |

In one chapter of the Sgt. Frog manga, a Viper bursts in to attack the Platoon while they're distracted by Kururu's latest plot. Mainly, the fact that he brainwashed their human friends, dressed them up in maid costumes (Yes, even Fuyuki), and set them on the others. The Viper is immediately dealt a multiple Offhand Backhand and paid no further mind. | |

Transformers: Beast Wars does this at least once. The ever-bickering Dinobot and Rattrap argue in front of the ignored (and recently unconscious) villain Tarantulas, and when he wakes up and threatens the two of them with his gun, they both punch him out (leading to the two of them dragging him around by his feet as they continue to argue again). | |
