Two allies who are jointly combating a single, more-powerful opponent get into an argument as they fight. The argument escalates into a shouting/screaming match, and they forget their opponent as they focus on each other. This usually leaves the enemy confused and/or amused. When he tries to interrupt the argument, often with the goal of restarting the original fight, both allies will bellow "Butt out!" or something similar at him. Frightened by their vehemence, the enemy may even slink away quietly. Cousin trope of Long Speech Tea Time. Compare Divided We Fall. Examples of Ignored Enemy include:
