A subtrope of Aw, Look -- They Really Do Love Each Other, and/or Friendship Moment. Alice and Bob are going out, and Alice never misses a chance to call Bob a jackass. Then, one day, Bob screws up big time in front of Charlie, who calls Bob a jackass. Cue Unstoppable Rage from Alice. May include an impassioned speech on what Alice will do to Charlie if he ever dares disrespect Bob again... before the payoff that it's not because she doesn't want Bob to be abused, it's because doing so is her job, dammit! Examples of Hypocritical Heartwarming include:

Alice and Bob don't need to be a couple for this trope, they can just be friends. Basically, this trope is about a character who frequently uses a certain insult on another character, but if anyone else who uses the same insult for that other character, well, they won't live long. Frequently a sign of Belligerent Sexual Tension, Vitriolic Best Buds, or Tsundere. Also pretty much sums up the relationship between many siblings. Compare The Only One Allowed to Defeat You, where a character's enemy will come to his or her defense if anyone else attacks him/her. Examples of Hypocritical Heartwarming include:
