iconic duos

Legendary partner combinations

Iconic duos are pairs of people, characters, or things so strongly associated with each other that mentioning one immediately evokes the other.

The phrase appears constantly in internet culture, often sarcastically: someone posts an image of two things that go together and challenges others to "name a more iconic duo." Batman and Robin, peanut butter and jelly, salt and pepper—these qualify.

The meme format invites both genuine examples and absurdist pairings.
