Re: Is it better or worse if they are both obnoxious?

Not OP, but that just sounds way too chaotic for me, from a story-telling perspective. I can't even really imagine the dynamic there. Which isn't really a criticism so much as just an observation.

Do you have any examples of this pairing type?

AYRT - Yeah, I don't think this is a dynamic I like at all. I think I maybe liked it when I was much younger, but these days this sounds like the kind of thing that makes me violently roll my eyes and groan and proclaim to the TV, "Oh my god, can we just NOT? Please?"

Though this trope is also very much not synonymous with obnoxious/obnoxious ships. I mean, the example TV Tropes cites is Han/Leia - a pairing I do dislike - but Leia is not remotely the obnoxious character type.

Han/Lando, I guess, might be kind of close to a mutually obnoxious pairing? And it does sound more appealing to me than Han/Leia, but still not something I'd be interested in.

ayrt

Well, actually the image used is a good example, I think - Sam/Dean (Supernatural).

But also - Loki/Tony Stark & Tony Stark/Stephen Strange (Marvel Cinematic Universe), Steve/Danny (Hawaii Five-0), Arthur/Merlin (Merlin), Tony/Gibbs (NCIS), John/Rodney (Stargate Atlantis), etc.

I mean, they each tend to be obnoxious in at least slightly different ways, but both are.

I don't find most of those characters obnoxious, really, so I don't really know how to respond.

Arthur/Merlin didn't seem that way at all, in the episodes I watched. Gibbs didn't seem that way, though Tony somewhat did. I don't know John/Rodney or Steve/Danny at all.

The one I can see fitting the obnoxious/obnoxious dynamic the most is Tony/Stephen, and that's probably part of why it's completely uninteresting to me. They're just way too similar for my liking, and their flaws are way too similar. To me, that's boring.
