Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Two very different characters are obliged to work together to solve a crime. The premise is very often, but not always, expressed in trailers and pitches as "One's an X. One's a Y. Together, they fight crime!" So much that it's become a Stock Phrase. Expect lots of cultural clash humor arising both from different policing traditions and from general personal differences between the two characters. Sometimes the ante will be raised by making the crime-fighters from two groups that are actively antagonistic. The story often (but not always) involves one character being on his own turf while the other character is a visitor. If there is a sequel, the character who was on his home turf in the first story will probably be visiting the home turf of the other character (the reverse situation). Can be the premise of any film that has policemen as the main characters. Of course they fight crime. Although then there usually needs to be some reason for the other cop to continue hanging around beyond the pilot. The foundation for any properly done Cop and Scientist pairing. Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })They Fight Crime must use both Wunza Plot and Odd Couple. Please do not add teams of more than two characters, or single characters, no matter how quirky they are. Examples: |

Ghost Trick: He's a laid-back, aloof amnesiac ghost with a drive for justice and Cool Shades. She's an idealistic Cloud Cuckoolander rookie detective who likes chicken and keeps getting killed... and again... and again. They solve mysteries, save lives, and (occasionally) fight crime! (or become criminals themselves). On the other hand; He's the aforementioned laid-back amnesiac ghost. He's the ghost of a hyperactive Pomeranian who will do anything to protect his little miss. They fight crime! This one gets even better once you beat the game and find out... that you were a cat all along! One's a serious, idealistic (and quite corpulent) detective who goes by the book and strives to give the best out of himself. The other is a stylish, cool-cat (and quite lanky) police inspector whose every move is literally a dance move and still climbs up the ranks because he's simply that good. They are best pals, and fight crime! One's said lanky stylish police inspector, the other is a grumpy former forensic medic for the police who left his job to research a meteorite. They chase down vengeful ghosts! |

Frequently used as a gag on Mystery Science Theater 3000. For example, near the end of the first-season movie Robot Holocaust, Tom suggests a sequel: "He's a robot. He's a human. They're detectives!" An educational short titled "Bodycare and Grooming" inspired the quip, "Body Care! And Grooming! They're cops!" Subverted in another episode: "He's a cop! He's a rabbi! They're cops! Except the rabbi!" |

The other is a by-the-book, sensible, more grown-up cop with a marriage and stepdaugter (but a hidden dark past). Despite everything they are best friends and will always be there for each other when the chips are down. In short, they are almost exactly the same as Lethal Weapon except that they are both women.

Pretty much every Ace Attorney game. Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney: One's an idealistic rookie defense attorney. One's a logical, serious prosecutor. They Fight Crime! Alternately: He's a smartassed defense attorney with terrible luck. She's an out-there spirit medium with a big appetite and equally terrible luck. You know the drill. Ace Attorney Investigations has three different combinations of this. In all of them, the first person is the aforementioned logical, serious prosecutor. Depending on the case, the second person is either a lovable but dumb detective, a very young prosecutor with a habit of whipping anyone who annoys her, or a highly visible alleged thief. The Judge actually lampshades Edgeworth teaming up with Gumshoe, saying that he could team up with a bailiff to fight crime. Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney: He's a greenhorn attorney. She's a teenaged magician. They Fight Crime! Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney – Dual Destinies: One's an experienced, formerly disgraced, attorney back in business after eight long years. One's a Fiery Redhead with degrees in psychology and law, as well as the ability to sort through a witnesses emotions. The other one's a Hot-Blooded, Only Sane Man who somehow gets less respect than his mentor, all while acting as a Living Lie-Detector. They are the "Wright Anything Agency". They defend people in court and, you guessed it, fight crime! |

This is the point of the Adventure Time spin-off comic miniseries Adventure Time: Candy Capers. Usual heroes Finn and Jake have gone missing, and Peppermint Butler and Cinnamon Bun ("One's the evil black magician boiled sweet servant of a fairytale princess! The other's a really stupid piece of patisserie!") are conscripted to replace them as heroes. They then delegate the actual trouble-shooting work to other implausible pairings of characters while they search for Finn and Jake. Marceline and Tree Trunks: One's a centuries-old amoral hipster vampire! The other's a sweet old pygmy elephant who wants to be a Rabid Cop! They fight crime! Lemongrab and Lumpy Space Princess: He's a narcissistic, autistic jerk with a lemon for a head! She's an extra-dimensional Blob Monster Valley Girl! They fight crime! Susan Strong and Ice King: She's a post-apocalyptic Ambiguously Human barbarian warrior! He's a demented old creeper with elemental cold powers who wants her to cosplay the fictional heroine he created and possibly shag him! They fight crime! |

Which may have been a shout-out to the 1976 show "Holmes And Yo-yo" (see below). In another episode, Phoebe and Monica declare themselves to be a hardass and wuss, respectively. |
