Two characters are fighting over something and in the process, the thing they are fighting over gets broken, damaged, or destroyed. Often overlaps with Nice Job Breaking It, Hero. May be seen as poetic justice. Usually implies a moral about how fighting is bad. A frequent variation is to have two Genre Blind characters try to wrest a piece of paper from each other, only for it to split.
If the thing that is "broken" is a contest that either would normally win, this may lead to a Dark Horse Victory. Compare No MacGuffin, No Winner, where this is done intentionally (and sometimes by a third party). The rivals may try to save face by claiming "We Win, Because You Didn't". Contrast Let's You and Him Fight.
Needless to say, it happens in real life all the time — from kids fighting over a toy and breaking it to governments fighting over a province and reducing it to a wasteland.

This is how the Ring is destroyed in The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King (though not the book). After Gollum wrests the ring from Frodo, Frodo tries to take it back. The result is that Gollum falls into Mt. Doom, still clutching the ring.

They fight over the keyboard and end up knocking the CPU over and smashing it... which turns out to be OK, because the recipe is written on sheets of paper hidden in the box.

In Dragon Ball Z: Resurrection 'F', Goku and Vegeta are so caught up in showing off their new transformation that they forget to take Frieza seriously, which results in him backstabbing Goku and then blowing up the earth when their respective guards are down. Because of his ability to survive in space, with that move, Frieza would have won if Physical God Whis hadn't offered to reverse time and give Goku another chance.

One Calvin and Hobbes Sunday strip involves the duo attempting to make a snow sculpture of two snowmen shaking hands in a show of the spirit of compromise. However, Calvin makes his snowman's arm too short, prompting Hobbes to ask him to make it longer. Calvin refuses and the resulting negotiations quickly devolve into the two mutilating each other's snowmen and getting into a Big Ball of Violence. When the dust settles, the snowmen are completely destroyed.

Subverted in a Sesame Street sketch involving the Two-Headed Monster finding a two-headed snowman. Neither of the snowman's heads has a nose, so they decide to give it carrot noses. They find that they have only one carrot, though, and begin fighting over it. The carrot snaps in two, and they begin sobbing, but then they realize that they now have two carrot noses for the snowman.

The Transformers: In "The Golden Lagoon", Beachcomber discovers a hidden idyllic place with an electrum lake in the center, which can grant temporary invincibility if coated with the liquid. He tried to keep it a secret because he knew what would happen should the Decepticons discover it. Sure enough, they did. Later on, the Autobots learned of it, and a major battle ensued. When it was over, the entire area, along with the lake, was obliterated. The last scene was Beachcomber looking at the smoldering ruins of the once pristine area and saying dejectedly, "We won".

On The Young Ones, when the lads move into a new house, Rick and Vyv immediately start fighting over which of them will claim one of the bedrooms. Their argument escalates until Vyv sets the bed on fire. They argue for a bit over which of them is now stuck with a burning bedroom, stop and think for an instant, then call in unison to Neil that his bedroom is on fire. As Neil glumly comes to extinguish the flames, Rick and Vyv charge into the room he's just vacated and begin arguing over that room instead.

They end up frightening the poor girl so much that the coin gets dropped and falls down a drain. The angry girl proceeds to borrow one of the musicians' violins, puts on a performance of her own, and earns her money back and then some.

Avatar: The Last Airbender: In "The Waterbending Scroll", Zuko hires some pirates to kidnap Aang and his friends, only for the pirates to go back on the deal and turn on him once Sokka informs them that Aang is the Avatar, and therefore worth far more than Zuko can pay them. A fight breaks out between the pirates and Zuko's group in which, though no one is killed, leaves them both with nothing as Aang and his companions escape while both sides are busy fighting each other. Iroh even sums this up as he stops the fight and chastises both sides saying, "Are you too busy fighting to see that your own ship has set sail?"

In Duck Dodgers in the 24½th Century, a parody of the Cold War and the prospect of Mutually Assured Destruction, Duck Dodgers is assigned to find and claim Planet X for Earth because of Planet X's supply of an element needed to make shaving cream. Martian Commander X-2 (Marvin) is trying to claim it for Mars for unspecified reasons. Their efforts to destroy each other reduce the planet to a basketball-sized rock only big enough for Dodgers to stand on, with Marvin and the Cadet (Porky) dangling on the bottom.

Inverted in a short story from Tales of Ravenloft. A young bride's sorcerer husband fights another wizard. Each begs for her help, warning her that the other is evil and intends to destroy her using a cursed portal she's discovered. Repelled by how each cares more about beating the other than about her, she uses the portal herself to kill both men, becoming a nastier villain than either.

SuperMarioLogan also follows this trope as well. In "The Burger!", did Junior and Cody go on a truce and wish for another burger? Nope! Instead, they fight for the last piece thus letting Chompy eat the last piece!
This trope also happens in "The Gun!", when Junior tries to clean the trigger, he shot Cody to the point were it leads him and Joseph into an argument.

Celebrity Deathmatch:
One episode features a fight between Bruce Springsteen and James Gandolfini, where the two are fighting for ownership of a New Jersey rest-stop that's opening soon. Said fight also features Steve Van Zandt as both guest referee and future employee for whoever wins the fight. Guess who becomes the first fatality of the episode.
Also the fight between Corey Haim and Corey Feldman has the two fighting over Harvey Weinstein. Not only do they end up killing themselves, they also end up killing the man they were both fighting over.

Warhammer 40,000: One comic featured an orc and a Chaos army fighting for control of a vital bridge, using every big gun at their disposal. When the dust clears, the only two left fighting are the two commanders, unaware that they're on the only segment of bridge left standing.

My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic:
In the episode "Fall Weather Friends", Applejack and Rainbow Dash compete in the annual Running of the Leaves race. Their rivalry with each other ends up getting so bad that they focus more on trying to sabotage and cheat each other that they forget about everyone else in the race and eventually causes them to tie for last place.
In "The Hooffields and McColts", two friends, Grub Hooffield and Piles McColt arrived in the Smokey Mountains, they wanted to preserve the valley and protect the animals in it. But they disagreed on what was the best way to do this, which eventually had them sabotaging each other and developing into a full-blown feud. This feud lasted for generations, with even their descendants continuing it, despite no longer remembering how it started, and in the process, the very valley they wanted to protect was ruined by them and the various animals were caught in their crossfire. Twilight and Fluttershy eventually discover this themselves and explain to both families how they are fighting over nothing and hurting the land and animals, with both families agreeing to make amends and fix what they did.

In the Beast Wars episode Transmutate, the titular character is introduced as a powerful but sickly Cybertronian. Because of this, s/he is seen as dangerous to the Maximals, and useless to the Predicons. Only Silverbolt and Rampage from the different factions befriended Transmutate but they started fighting to get him/her to join with their respective side. Guess who tries to stop them from fighting by jumping into the crossfire only to get killed.

In Total Drama Legacy, during the go-kart race in the episode "Shut Up and Drive", Storm and Emilia are too concerned with trying to beat each other that they don't focus on trying to win, enabling Link to surpass them both and win the race.

Yeralash has an episode where two boys are laying out presents for girls in their class. They take a large, beautiful doll out of the box, and start arguing which girl should receive that. In the end, they tear the doll in half... and then finally agree which girl should get it now.

Friends: Chandler and Rachel fight over a gourmet cheesecake accidentally delivered to them (it was meant for a neighbor who was away on a trip). It ends up being knocked on the floor as they both gaze at it, heartbroken. Later, Joey nonchalantly joins them in eating it off the floor.

In the film version of James and the Giant Peach, this happens between Mr. Grasshopper and Mr. Centipede when they start fighting over a piece of food, which ends up falling overboard from the peach.

Gravity Falls: In the series finale, the world is nearly doomed because brothers Stan and Ford Pines have held a grudge against each other for thirty years. Stan nearly causes Ford's plan to banish Bill Cipher using the Zodiac Circle to fail because he can't bring himself to shake Ford's hand, as Ford has never thanked him for saving him. When the others finally guilt Ford into saying thanks, it seems like things are back on track... until Ford can't help himself from condescendingly correcting Stan's grammar, causing Stan to snap and break the circle, giving Bill time to destroy the Shacktron and take out half the Zodiac group, dooming the plan for good.
