* Wyn from the web fiction serial ''Literature/DimensionHeroes'' refuses to team up with the other Dimensional Guardians until he falls under the control of a monster and is subsequently freed by them, realizing that the only way he'll be able to defeat the forces of darkness is to team up with them.
* An episode of ''WebVideo/GameGrumps'' playthrough of Mario Party 8 has a moment where Jon says "Jon and Arin Win! They realize friendship's more important!" Followed by a great moment of Barry's editing. For many, it cemented Game Grumps as a show made two incredibly close friends, which has only been expanded upon with more of their friends and family becoming a part of the "Grump Family".
* According to the 11/26 uStream, this along with the fanbase are what's keeping the cast of ''WebVideo/EverymanHYBRID'' sane. Compare it to many other [[Franchise/TheSlenderManMythos Slender Man Mythos]] stories where, for the most part, the protagonists are alone against him.
* This is the primary 'weapon' utilized by members of the ''Blog/KnightsOfFandom''.
* In her review of ''Film/SpiceWorld'', the only plus WebVideo/TheNostalgiaChick can give the Spice Girls is at least they were marketed as being friends. But they screwed that up in their reunion video when they weren't even looking at each other.
* LetsPlay/TheRunawayGuys, when not at each other's throats, manage to pull of impressive feats of gaming with their teamwork. [[{{LetsPlay/Chuggaaconroy}} Chugga]] in particular inspires his teammates through his [[RousingSpeech friendship speeches]].
* ''Literature/SailorNothing'':
** Played darkly straight. The usual tone of this trope's use in Sailor Nothing: Himei wakes up everyday and [[spoiler:stops herself from slitting her wrists open by reminding herself that she has friends to live for.]]
** When Himei is ready to [[spoiler:[[DespairEventHorizon lie down and die]] at the hands of [[ADarkerMe her own Yamiko,]] Aki gets her up by saying, "Himei! If you die, you can't go on your date tomorrow!"]]
* ''Roleplay/SurvivalOfTheFittest'' plays this for drama, and also tragedy. In a story where the goal is to the the last one left standing and the main moral appears to be "don't trust anybody", friendship has no place and SOTF has no qualms with showing the reader exactly why. Version 0 ends with Sydney Morvran and his friends hiding in the school building. [[spoiler:An accidentally dropped flashbang causes them all to go insane with paranoia and butcher each other, Syd using one of them as a human shield.]] Groups and friendships both tend to collapse in a dramatic fashion, especially once suspicion of killers starts to go around, and people often end up being slaughtered by others who were their closest colleagues before the game. Battle Royale, which SOTF is based on, used this trope.
* In ''ARG/TheWallWillFall'' AlternateRealityGame, this was an integral part of defeating Cthulhu. Yes, ''that'' [[{{Necronomicon}} Cthulhu]]. The final battle involved players writing stories and songs around the theme of teamwork after selecting [[HeroicSacrifice one of their own]] to challenge the Elder God directly. According to WordOfGod, the players hit the required amount of writing within ''two days'' of the announcement. This, plus their concern for the player being sent on what was effectively a SuicideMission lead to the end of the game being changed in order to save them.

* Discussed in the ''Website/{{Cracked}}'' article, [[http://www.cracked.com/blog/so-youve-discovered-youre-scooby-doo-villain/?wa_user1=4&wa_user2=Weird+World&wa_user3=blog&wa_user4=feature_module "So You've Discovered You're a Scooby Doo Villain"]]
-->'''Chris Bucholz:''' OK, so they all have rings of fire. That makes sense, actually.\\
'''Francise/ScoobyDoo Villain:''' Isn't that cheating, all of them having the best power?\\
'''Chris Bucholz:''' Technically their best power is probably friendship, but yes, all of them having fire rings is also pretty devastating.\\
'''Scooby Doo Villain:''' How did they get the rings?\\
'''Chris Bucholz:''' Have you angered any wizards lately?\\
'''Scooby Doo Villain:''' Maybe?\\
'''Chris Bucholz:''' Well, what about the government? How on board do you think they are with your little operation?\\
'''Scooby Doo Villain:''' Not very.\\
'''Chris Bucholz:''' Right. What I think has happened here is the government has developed powerful magic rings and given them to these teens, to harness their natural anti-smuggling powers.\\
'''Scooby Doo Villain:''' You think that's more effective than sending the FBI or the DEA or a highly-trained team of military operators after me?\\
'''Chris Bucholz:''' None of those have the power of friendship.\\
'''Highly Trained Secret Agent:''' Breach on my signal. Remember to cooperate, share, and above all else, ''have fun in there''.
