Ha! The catalyst to Psychoborg is two people being forced together due to circumstance.

And I guess "Clue" (another of my favorite comedies) also fits the bill.

The original "The In-Laws" with Peter Falk and Alan Arkin--one of my all-time favorite comedies.

The Other Guys was good in this regard :)

48 hours comes to mind, as well as about a zillion others. I think we all can relate to this trope so well, because it happens countless times in every normal working life, if you think about it. I don't think this trope will ever get old. There's just so much variety in it.

My Fellow Americans (1996)

You say Dog Day Afternoon, I say Scarecrow. Hm. I didn't use that trope too much I suppose. Before Friendship Material, which is built on the premise. There's going to be one pair in the new chapter of BD. Plus there was that time when two guys who fell for the same woman needed to work together to save her. Good times.
