Mr. Neat/Tidy/Law-Abiding/By-The-Book forced to work/live with Mr. Messy/Slob/Zany/Risk-Taker/Plays-By-His-Own-Rules. Despite the name, they're usually not a romantic couple (though this depends on the show in question). The couple might be cops. One might be a "loose cannon" Cowboy Cop, while the other is a cautious rule-follower who wants to follow procedures. The original Odd Couple were, in fact, The Odd Couple, a play that became a movie that became a TV series. It featured two divorcees, Neat Freak Felix Unger and his sloppy friend Oscar Madison, having to live together. If the pair lives in a High Fantasy realm, a Hidden World of Awesome, or an Absurdist World of Awesome, you may be watching a Psychedelic Comedy Bromance. See also: Sibling Yin-Yang, Polar Opposite Twins, Tomboy and Girly Girl, Sensitive Guy and Manly Man, Red Oni, Blue Oni, Opposites Attract, Two Gamers on a Couch, Badass and Child Duo, Monster and the Maiden and Gleeful and Grumpy Pairing. Compare Heterosexual Life-Partners. May be part of a Wunza Plot. A movie centered on their relationship is often a Buddy Picture. If it's not the two main characters, it's an Odd Friendship.

Bleach has a whole lot of these. The Shinigami, most notably in the 13 squad divisions with many of its captain and lieutenant sets: 1st Division: Subverted in the case of Captain Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto and Lieutenant Ch�jir� Sakisabe. Yamamoto enjoys Japanese culture but dislikes European, and holds Japanese tea sessions for his squad, while Ch�jir� is obsessed with European culture and dislikes Japanese to the point of growing his own tea leaves. However, this is the only area in which they differ. They're very well-matched aside from this. 2nd Division: Captain Shaolin "Soifon" Fon (Les Yay Tsundere Ice Queen) and Lieutenant Marechiyo Omaeda (Dumb Muscle Butt-Monkey Gonk). 3rd Division: Smug Snake Trickster Mentor Captain Gin Ichimaru and melancholic Warrior Poet Izuru Kira. Averted with Rose and Kira who have bonded through their shared artistic natures. 6th Division: Subverted with Aloof Big Brother Captain Byakuya Kuchiki and Hot-Blooded Lieutenant Renji Abarai. Clarified as being an in-universe belief that's not true in reality due to Byakuya being Hot-Blooded Beneath the Mask making the pair similar. However, a lot of characters don't know this. Possibly an inversion as Renji is actually a lot softer than he appears. Of male shinigami, only Kira is more sensitive. 7th Division: Calm and collected Captain Sajin Komamura and Hot-Blooded Lieutenant Tetsuzaimon Iba. 8th Division: Captain Shunsui Ky�raku (Brilliant, but Lazy and The Dandy) and Lieutenant Nanao Ise (stiff and formal with a Prim and Proper Bun to show it). 10th Divison: Captain T�shir� Hitsugaya (an extremely serious, focused Workaholic Child Prodigy) and Lieutenant Rangiku Matsumoto, who is easy-going, easily distracted, and Brilliant, but Lazy, not to mention significantly older, taller, and bustier, subverting the usual image of the seasoned captain and the raw lieutenant. 11th Division: Subverted with Sociopathic Hero Kenpachi Zaraki and Rose-Haired Sweetie Yachiru Kusajishi. Yachiru is as bloodthirsty as he is. 12th Division: Mad Scientist Mayuri Kurotsuchi who will fly off the handle very easily and Extreme Doormat Nemu Kurotsuchi who barely reacts to anything unless ordered to. Mayuri created her to be like that. 13th Division: Ukitake is a tall, peaceful, calm individual who tries to negotiate conflict between friends and allies with smooth-talking, friendly soothing words. Rukia's short, Hot-Blooded, and prefers to either beat sense into friends and allies or passionately yell at them. In the "Turn Back The Pendulum'' arc, we have: Laid-back, easy-going Shinji Hirako and conniving Evil Genius Sousuke Aizen. Kensei Muguruma (Temperamental Jerk with a Heart of Gold) and Mashiro Kuna (Manchild Genius Ditz). Kisuke Urahara (Nice Guy) and Hiyori Sarugaki (Bratty Half-Pint Jerkass). Even the ex-captain traitor trio qualifies: Kaname T�sen is a mostly stoic Blind Justice Knight Templar, Gin Ichimaru is an Ax-Crazy Faux Affably Evil Enigmatic Minion, and S�suke Aizen, Hero Killer. Enjoyable Teeth-Clenched Teamwork ensues. |

Toradora!: Ryuuji and Taiga. He's tall, gentle, is an expert at housekeeping, likes to cook, and generally does his best to avoid conflict—unfortunately, the hereditary angry glare he got from his father makes everyone think Ryuuji's going to kill them, or worse. She's short, brutish, never bothers cleaning up after herself, burns salads, and has the temperament of a raging tiger—unfortunately, her pretty face and delicate figure make strangers think she's just a cute little girl. | |

Naruto: Akatsuki offers two examples: Hidan (dedicated priest who despises the greedy) and Kakuzu (bounty hunter who covets money and despises religions). The only reason they haven't killed each other yet is they're both immortal. Sasori (strict artist who values the ageless quality of his puppets) and Deidara (relaxed artist who values the transient beauty of his explosions). Despite their constant arguing about art, they respect one another and work well together. Arguably, 'Odd Couple' applies to virtually everyone in the entire show. Naruto is a loud, hot-blooded idiot that depends on sheer determination to be great vs Sasuke who is a quiet genius that can become great through sheer intelligence — now how well does that description fit Lee/Neji, Kiba/Shino, Kakashi/Gai, Orochimaru/Jiraiya, and much more? Even side characters have examples with Tsunade being an alcoholic gambler who just happens to be an incredibly talented ninja vs Shizune who is a strait-laced type but nowhere near as good of a ninja. |

Supergirl is a spirited, brash borderline Physical God. Batgirl is a quiet, introvert, cautious Badass Bookworm. And yet the two of them have had a sibling-like relationship since The '60s. It helps that they can bond over being permanently overshadowed by their male counterparts. | |

Nicky and Rod from Avenue Q. Their dynamic is very similar to the original Odd Couple...and thus to Sesame Street's Bert & Ernie (mentioned above) on whose personalities they were more directly based. | |

Parodied on Community in the episode The Science of Illusion, when Annie and Shirley become temporary campus security guards: She's a seriously cute recovering teen drug addict. She's a newly single, single-mindedly Christian housewife and mother. They fight misdemeanours! Further parodied in that neither of them can agree on which of them gets the Good Cop/Bad Cop role in their little partnership. | |

Hannibal: The series' main focus is on the intense, both violent and tender relationship between secret cannibal serial killer Hannibal Lecter and his not-patient/friend/arch nemesis/only intellectual peer/ romantic soulmate Will Graham. Both are morally complicated Manipulative Bastards who lack real human connection without each other. The draw between them is so compelling that righteous Will eventually gives up any semblance of a normal life, leaves his wife and stepson, and kills with Hannibal to be with him instead. It's a complicated relationship, to say the very least. | |

Duncan and Methos from Highlander eventually come to have a dynamic like this. Duncan is an honor-bound product of his time, who believes in chivalry and protecting the innocent, sometimes at great risk to himself. Methos is an ancient immortal who, in his own words, was 'born long before the age of chivalry', avoids fights with other immortals whenever he can, and used to be one of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. They bicker constantly due to their different worldviews but appear to value each other's friendship nonetheless. | |

Mark and Jeremy from Peep Show are a classic example... at first glance. However, given the show's hook of giving us an insight into their thought processes, it quickly becomes clear that they're both quite equally neurotic, insecure, and introverted, and in many ways, Jeremy is even more socially uptight than Mark; Jeremy is desperate to be thought of as cool, edgy and sophisticated (often appearing smug, foolish and pretentious in the process) where Mark, whilst very socially inept, has fewer pretentions or illusions about himself or exactly how cool he is, and rarely bothers to put on airs as a result. David Mitchell (Actor) and Robert Webb generally play an Odd Couple in their various collaborations, and may even be one themselves. | |

Bonus points for being the same person. The City Watch books have Fred Colon, a simple, down-to-earth sergeant who's not as smart as he thinks he is and Nobby Nobbs, a shifty, "certified human" corporal who's smarter than he looks (which, granted, isn't hard). |

Golden Sun canon has the first game's villain team. Saturos is a constantly-smiling cocky trickster with a penchant for Loophole Abuse; Menardi is more vicious and direct (and not always in on the trickery). They've been partners in combat for more than three years, and are the best warriors in Prox. In canon, they're a platonic Odd Couple, but in fandom, they're frequently portrayed as a romantic one. | |

The Nero Wolfe series gives the reader Wolfe himself and his assistant Archie Goodwin, although it's more of an employer/employee relationship than a friendship. Wolfe is sedentary, fastidious, cerebral, epicurean, reclusive, verbose, misogynist, and Comically Serious, while Archie is an irreverent, witty, playful, and cheerful man of action. It's also often suggested to be invoked since Wolfe recognises that their various personalities and skill sets complement each other nicely, and the points of tension between them can be useful in provoking Wolfe out of laziness and into working when necessary. | |

Soul Eater: Maka and Soul are a pretty good example of this trope. Tsubaki and Black Star are even stronger examples. Then you have Death the Kid and the Thompson Sisters forming an Odd Trio. Kid's the aristocrat (being the "son" of Shinigami—it's complicated) with an obsession for symmetry that both helps and hurts him (for one thing, it's why he has two partners: one for each hand). Patty is The Ditz but as a result doesn't get scared and tends to see things the others may overlook, while Liz is the sanity of the trio despite being a scaredy-cat. The groups are put together with this in mind. Opposites can resonate their souls better. The meister/Weapon groups such as Harvar and Ox. Shinigami has a contrasting group in his named area heads, but he and scythe Spirit are not actually that dissimilar. Though it depends on how far Shinigami's obfuscating stupidity. That being noted, Shinigami is Spirit's third partner. His first was Franken Stein, and his second Maka's mother, who has, as of writing, yet to be shown, but said to be much like her daughter. |

Red Dwarf: Arnold Rimmer and Dave Lister. Rimmer is the uptight, regulation-following kind of person who will insist that the red-alert bulb be switched on when all of the crew members are in the same small room and are all undoubtedly already alerted and delights in quoting "Space Corps Directives". Lister, on the other hand, is described as "toffed up to the nines" when wearing a t-shirt with only one curry stain on it and pants with a hole in them that he's spray-painted himself to cover up. Though initially antagonistic, their relationship eventually becomes far more friendly. Invoked Trope: Red Dwarf's AI could only generate one hologram at a time, and thought Rimmer's totally opposite personality would help Lister stay sane due to the arguments and antagonism between the two. |

My Love Story!!. Sunakawa is the typical Bishōnen high schooler you hear about and see in all sorts of manga, Takeo is a big, squarely built guy whose appearance would usually be used as gonk in other manga. And those two have been friends for over 10 years. Their personalities also contrast each other, with Takeo being boisterous but naive and Suna being quiet but more perceptive. The couple-couple of Takeo and Yamato also counts, in the sense that they are a Huge Guy, Tiny Girl pair, but they aren't all that different on the inside. |

Deconstructed in John Dies at the End, with the relationship between John and Dave. For most of the book, Dave is seen as pretty normal, with John being the weirdo. However, as the book progresses, we discover that John is Dave's only friend, and the reason Dave still hangs around with him is that he's a codependent sociopath, and John's the 'normal' one. | |

Marvel Universe: Cable & Deadpool: A muscle-bound, angsty psychic mutant from the future trying to make the world a better place and his buddy: A fourth-wall-breaking motormouth mercenary who is made of cancer and loves pop-culture riffs. Spider-Man: There was a two-issue arc in The Amazing Spider-Man (J. Michael Straczynski) where he was forced to team up with Loki to save the world and Loki's mostly-mortal kid, who the person trying to destroy the world was possessing. It involved a lot of wordplay between the two masters of I Shall Taunt You and despite being a hero and a villain-just-doing-something-good, it was so well-written that a lot of fans remember and like it (and post it all over the web, particularly the "chili dog scene"). Power Man and Iron Fist headlined a comic together in the early '80s and this trope was invoked often in the advertising. Iron Fist comes from another world where he has mastered martial arts to an almost superhuman level. His is a life of discipline and dedication. He's also rich, but his lack of experience in the real world leaves him naive at times. Power Man, in contrast, grew up poor on the streets and knows entirely too much about how the world works, and completely lacks training and discipline, but gets by on the virtue of being super strong and nearly indestructible. Together, they're a nightmare for criminals of all sorts. |

Shy, quiet cute-obsessed Sakaki and outgoing, impulsive Kagura's growing friendship might also count; particularly later in the season; although it seems a little more one-sided (on Kagura's part) than the other pairings. |

Milo Murphy's Law gives us Balthazar Cavendish and Vinnie Dakota. Cavendish is the uptight, stuffy guy that would prefer to stick to the rules, while Dakota is the sleazy, food-obsessed one that would occasionally break the rules to save his friend from death. Occasionally, though, their roles switch depending on the situation: Cavendish would feel daring for his want to feel important, but Dakota would try to play it safe when there's no reassurance that everything will be fine. For a minor, yet romantic example, the titular Milo Murphy, The Jinx born with Murphy's Law and relishes in the occasional unavoidable disaster, develops a crush on The Perfectionist Amanda Lopez, who tends to freak out at the smallest of imperfections. Amanda later reciprocates Milo's feelings, however, having learned that Milo's always prepared for the most unexpected and that she doesn't necessarily have to worry about everything. |

The Mighty Boosh revolves around the relationship between Vince Noir (super-trendy, cheerful, fey social butterfly with big eyes) and Howard Moon (curmudgeonly, misanthropic, mustachioed jazz-aficionado with tiny eyes). Vince is often mistaken for Howard's wife/lady friend, and Howard is often mistaken for Vince's father or geography teacher. The Odd Couple dynamic has an additional level to it, as it both mirrors and contrasts the real-life dynamic between actors Noel Fielding and Julian Barratt. | |

Wild Cards (2024): Max is an energetic, impulsive, cheerful con artist who gets caught by the police robbing a bank but gets off with a Plea Bargain to help catch other criminals. She and Col, who's a disgraced police detective, are forced to work together. Col is a more laidback, staid and dour man who's often annoyed by Max's antics, but increasingly charmed as well. | |

Oz and James: James May co-presented with Oz Clarke: May plays the ignorant scruff to Clarke's long-winded pedantry. Early episodes feature May complaining about how Clarke would rather talk about alcohol than drink it. They eventually came to the point where they enjoyed each other's company, especially once May picked up enough wine knowledge to carry on an informed conversation with Oz. | |

The King of Fighters has Blue Mary (private investigator and friend of Terry,) Billy Kane (right-hand man of crime lord and Terry's archnemesis Geese Howard) and Yamazaki (Ax-Crazy Yakuza.) Because their inclusion in the series is the result of a fan poll to determine which pre-existing SNK characters would make it into '97, they've since been lumped together in the two Dream Match Games '98 and 2002 as the "'97 Special Team". One of the most long-running teams in the series is the Korea Team/Korea Justice Team, usually consisting of agent of justice Kim Kaphwan and two criminals - Chang and Choi - that he pressganged into fighting alongside him as part of a special rehabilitation program. Occasionally, fellow justice-obsessed Tae Kwon Do practitioner Jhun Hoon joins the team, and in 2003 he replaced Choi in the roster, making Chang the odd man out. In XIII Kim forms a special team with former heels Hwa Jai and Raiden who, while no longer villains, are still a lot more sinister and thuggish than the upstanding Kim (in fact, Raiden is specifically fighting as his heel persona instead of his face persona Big Bear.) The Benimaru Team from 2000 certainly qualifies, consisting of Benimaru himself (flamboyant ally of the former protagonist of the series,) Shingo (a Kyo fanboy and comic relief character,) Lin (a creepy assassin) and Seth (a well-dressed secret agent.) |

In an episode of NCIS, Tony is handcuffed to the criminal, White, and also plays a criminal himself, hoping that the suspect will lead the team to his partner. Tony plays the part of a tough, down-to-earth guy who has fallen on hard times. White doesn't like getting his hands dirty, is nervous, and clearly not the brains of the operation he and his partner are involved in. On the other hand, though, it turns out that White is also playing a part. He actually is the brains of the operation and is a very dangerous killer. So the fake pairing, a tough guy and a wuss, is much less odd than the real pairing, a federal agent and a psychopathic murderer. Despite all of this, though, at the end of the episode, both admit to really coming to like the other, even after learning the other's true identity. | |

Rome: Lucius Vorenus and Titus Pullo, with Vorenus as the uptight, honourable, stoic, by-the-book guy (with occasional cold-blooded murderous rage), and Pullo as the cheerfully hedonistic thug who never thinks beyond the next fight or fuck. Played with in that over the course of the series, Vorenus gets broken down into a crazed nihilist while Pullo matures into a thoughtful, responsible, father and leader. | |

Superman and Batman. Superman is an alien with almost godlike powers, raised under generally modest circumstances, inspired by the strong morals taught to him by his parents, believes in setting a good example for all of mankind, and is also Happily Married. Batman is a badass human, a tycoon who was inspired to be a hero by the murder of his parents, believes in creating a nightmare image to scare criminals straight, and he's got relationship issues out the wazoo. They're practically the superhero Good Cop/Bad Cop scenario, and yet they still acknowledge the other as their best friend. Though note that much of this dynamic only really solidified during The '80s, and is still heavily subject to Depending on the Writer. Before that, both of them were fairly clean-cut, upstanding hero-types; hell, Batman arguably had a healthier personal life and a fairly chipper relationship with Robin, Batgirl, Alfred, and Commissioner Gordon, while Superman often went to near-psychotic lengths to hide his Secret Identity from Lois Lane and Jimmy Olsen. | |

Aziraphale and Crowley from Good Omens are, in theory, about as different as it's possible to get: they met in the Garden of Eden, where Aziraphale was the angel at the eastern gate and Crowley was the snake. (They've both since been demoted.) Having worked opposite each other on Earth for countless centuries, they've realised that they have more in common with each other than they think and become best friends, still nominally working for good and evil but not interfering with each other's projects and occasionally having lunch together. Aziraphale is the neat, picky one while Crowley is wilder and always wears sunglasses. | |

Bertie Wooster and Jeeves, to an extent. While they do fit the bill of nutty-goofball and sophistication-incarnate, respectively, their living situation is due to a professional, master-servant relationship. Before Bertie and Jeeves, P. G.

Batman is a badass human, a tycoon who was inspired to be a hero by the murder of his parents, believes in creating a nightmare image to scare criminals straight, and he's got relationship issues out the wazoo. They're practically the superhero Good Cop/Bad Cop scenario, and yet they still acknowledge the other as their best friend.

Supergirl is a spirited, brash borderline Physical God. Batgirl is a quiet, introvert, cautious Badass Bookworm. And yet the two of them have had a sibling-like relationship since The '60s. It helps that they can bond over being permanently overshadowed by their male counterparts. Supergirls and Batgirls usually compliment each other or are odd couples. In the Legion of Super-Heroes, Supergirl and Brainiac-5 often team up together. She's a cheerful, impulsive, kind Flying Brick. He's a somber, reflective, jerkass of a genius. They're not only a very effective team but also a couple. Green Lantern: The Green Lantern Corps seems to run on this, with nearly every partnership being an odd couple of some kind. For example, the cocky follow-your-guts Hal Jordan is partnered with the methodical and analytical John Stewart, and the Boisterous Bruiser Guy Gardner is partnered with either the sensitive artist Kyle Rayner or the Cold Sniper John Stewart. Or there's the example of the living planet Mogo, and his partner Bzzd, a wasp. Bat Lash: Many stories contrast the taciturn Jonah Hex with the significantly friendlier Bat. The New 52 All-Star Western pairs the ruthless, hard-as-nails, disfigured Bounty Hunter Jonah Hex with prissy Easterner Dr. Amadeus Arkham, who is one of the world's first criminal psychologists and a firm believer in the law and order and the humane treatment of criminals. Robin: Kevin Hudman is the most serious, logically minded, and academically gifted of Tim's friends, and is always with Hudson who is the most impulsive, emotionally driven, hot-headed, and least focused on his studies of Tim's friends. Their relationship is never expounded upon but the two are so joined at the hip that Ives generally introduces them to people as "Hudster" like they're inseparable enough to be introduced as a unit, and they don't contradict him. |

Final Fantasy VIII: The quirky pair of Fujin and Raijin fit this trope. They both have weird speech mannerisms and are highly eccentric. Vivi and Steiner in Final Fantasy IX. Steiner is a knight captain, and he's very loud, very chivalrous, hilariously misguided, and prone to making an utter fool of himself. Vivi is a black mage, and he's quiet, introspective, under-confident at times, and pretty much universally agreed to be the most adorable thing in the series. They're insta-bros from the start of the game to its very end, and they have an awesome team-up attack they can only perform when they're both in the party. (Vivi enchants Steiner's sword, basically adding an element and a little extra oomph to Steiner's already devastating physical attacks.) |

Vince and Errol from 15 Storeys High. Vince is a mildly eccentric misanthrope (not to the extent of being wacky, but he gets his decorating ideas from pornographic magazines), whereas Errol is naive, trusting, friendly and helpful. | |

Power Man and Iron Fist headlined a comic together in the early '80s and this trope was invoked often in the advertising. Iron Fist comes from another world where he has mastered martial arts to an almost superhuman level. His is a life of discipline and dedication. He's also rich, but his lack of experience in the real world leaves him naive at times. Power Man, in contrast, grew up poor on the streets and knows entirely too much about how the world works, and completely lacks training and discipline, but gets by on the virtue of being super strong and nearly indestructible. Together, they're a nightmare for criminals of all sorts. | |

The second was a street criminal from the big city, swears a lot, is quite confrontational and actively dislikes mages. At the start they are openly antagonistic to each other, but over time and after facing many dangers together, they grow quite close, while still being very different personalities. | |

Life On Mars: DI Sam Tyler and DCI Gene Hunt: an uptight, by-the-book, and slightly crazy cop trained in the modern and forensics-heavy methods of policing, and a reckless, bastardly, and semi-alcoholic cop trained in the 1970s Cowboy Cop method of breaking down doors and having people arrested for cattle-rustling because he needed an excuse to get them off the streets. At one point in the show, they beat each other up in a hospital room and the camera cuts to them sitting down together having a smoke and talking about their job. | |

The central relationship in White House Plumbers is the complicated love-hate one between Watergate masterminds Howard Hunt and Gordon Liddy. Howard is boisterous, methodical, and pragmatic, while Gordon is eccentric, offbeat, and dead-serious to a comical degree, and their relationship can go from genuine friendship to hating each other's guts at the drop of a hat. They do, however, share one very important thing in common: they're nowhere near as smart as they think they are. | |

Spider-Man: There was a two-issue arc in The Amazing Spider-Man (J. Michael Straczynski) where he was forced to team up with Loki to save the world and Loki's mostly-mortal kid, who the person trying to destroy the world was possessing. It involved a lot of wordplay between the two masters of I Shall Taunt You and despite being a hero and a villain-just-doing-something-good, it was so well-written that a lot of fans remember and like it (and post it all over the web, particularly the "chili dog scene"). | |

Both are sent on a mission to Alcatraz for different reasons (the former because he knows how to get in because he already broke out of the prison, the latter because the place is full of chemical weapons) and are the only survivors when their squad is massacred, leading to a partnership marked by much bickering that ultimately makes them both Unlikely Heroes. | |

My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic: Twilight Sparkle and Spike. The former is a bookworm obsessed with schedules and studying, and the latter is a baby dragon who can range from an innocent kid to a Deadpan Snarker Depending on the Writer. They love each other dearly, and Spike's absolute worst fear is that Twilight will stop needing him one day and send him away. A couple of these can be perceived within Twilight's circle of friends, the most popular one being Applejack and Rarity. Tomboy and Girly Girl pairings are popular in the show, with brash, headstrong, athletic Rainbow Dash and shy, quiet, animal-lover Fluttershy also spending considerable amounts of time together on screen. A common fanfic ship since the early days is Octavia Melody, a classical musician, and Vinyl Scratch (aka DJ PON-3), an EDM DJ. This was made canon in Season 5 episode "Slice of Life", which shows them sharing a house, the interior of which is split down the middle, each half decorated in the characters' distinctive styles. |

Mythbusters: When the producers of what would eventually become Mythbusters first approached Jamie Hyneman regarding hosting his own show, he objected on the grounds that he is... not exactly an extrovert ("Do you actually have moods?" "No."). He suggested importing a much more outgoing colleague, Adam Savage, as co-host. The result has developed into one of the funniest, most charismatic Odd Couple pairings going. They more or less intentionally created a Double Act/ Comedy Duo/ Manzai, which given how often it shows up on this list, is probably a sub-trope. | |

Top Gear: Jeremy Clarkson (loud, brash, and confident) and James May (quiet, pragmatic, and orderly), whose on-screen bickering has frequently been compared to an unhappy marriage. They're good friends, however. And when you add Richard "Hamster" Hammond to Jezza and Captain Slow on the UK version of Top Gear you have one of the greatest Odd Trios ...in the world. | |

The first Phoenix Wright trilogy centers around Maya, an overenthusiastic spirit medium, and Phoenix, a lawyer six years older than her with a flair for justice. They're not that different, as it turns out, but Phoenix still has to apologize for her antics often. | |

Dragon Ball Z: Goku and Vegeta are complete opposites that are repeatedly forced to team up, no matter how much they don't like it. It starts out as a still fairly tense Enemy Mine, but by the Buu Saga, we get whole episodes of them bickering and snarking at each other while wandering Buu's innards. | |

Emergency! has a recurring character example that counts. Craig Brice was known as “the perfect paramedic� and “the walking rule book�. He was extremely neat and obsessive about organization and following the rules. When John is in the hospital, he gets paired with Roy, who, while not particularly a rule breaker, isn’t afraid to incorporate his heart into his thinking when he needs to, and drives Roy nuts with his by-the-book outlook until John is back on the job. In the end, we learn he was paired with Bellingham, whose nickname was “the animal� and was known as the biggest slob in the department. | |

In The Secret Agreement, Yuuichi is down to earth and realistic while Iori is impractical, otherworldly, and has very scattered attachments to actual things. On top of this, there is a large wealth and class gap between them. They aren't quite a case of Opposites Attract, but in-story Yuuichi remarks to himself how they are an unlikely couple. | |

Subverted by satirists Bob & Ray, who were almost exact opposites as per this trope (slight, precise, and soft-spoken vs. burly, extroverted, and baritone) but could intuit each other's thoughts to the point where they could turn a chance word or phrase into a full-blown comedy skit without skipping a beat. Their character types did tend to reflect their personalities...except that big burly Ray ended up playing all the females. | |

A central theme in Noir; Kirika and Mirielle's curious relationship is key to the plot. Not just Noir, but all the Girls with Guns anime from Koichi Mashimo and Bee Train feature this Odd Couple relationship with at least one of the protagonists.
