Re: Fictional best friend duos where one friend is sorta dickish to the other?

(Anonymous) 2014-03-08 03:18 am (UTC)(link)
I think all fictional friendships like this have internal mechanisms for balancing things out. For example:

Barney Stinson and whoever-he's-bugging-this week out of the other four main characters on How I Met Your Mother. None of them take Barney seriously, so his dickery is rarely anything more than an annoyance, and usually more of an amusement.

Shawn towards Gus on Psych -- Gus probably knows his life would be a lot more boring without Shawn and a lot less fun without being able to rant and rave at Shawn's dickery, so even though Shawn's dickery is frustrating in the short run, it's a positive in the long run.

Hutch towards Starsky in Starsky and Hutch -- He treats Starsky like dirt 25% of the time, which is okay because he only does it during the lazy and light-hearted parts of the episode, and treats him like a prince the other 75% of the time.

Tony towards Rhodey in Iron Man. Rhodey pointedly breaks up with him when Tony crosses a line, showing that his friendship with Tony is definitely by choice, not because he's letting himself be treated badly.

Fry and Bender on Futurama -- Bender is a horrible abusive tyrant to Fry. OTOH, he also sacrifices his life more than once for Fry. This is terrible, but a) it's a cartoon and b) Fry is too sweet and stupid to hold a grudge, but just smart enough to remember the good things Bender does. This is also terrible and fucked-up, but everyone in Futurama is deeply fucked-up so just roll with it.
