When two people, typically good friends or relatives, get into an argument not for the sake of getting their point across, but to hear themselves talk.
The arguments are typically about topics neither knows much about, or they choose sides which they don't truly support, all for the sake of comedy.

Get the Parrot Bantermug. The sudden inexplicable inability to demonstrate an action to an audience specifically summoned to view said action.
This phenomenon receives its name from the premise of a pet "talking" parrot who is suddenly silent when guests are invited to see it "talk." "I swear!," says the owner, "He says all kinds of stuff! He says 'hello', he says our names! Really! I don't know why he won't do it now...." while the guests nod and say, "Suuure, he talks. We totally believe you."

Get the parrot dadmug. A happy, active, outgoing, fun, exciting soul on the surface and a grouch that would try to walk over anybody she thought of as being in her way beneath the surface.
Patrizia Reggiani, the parrot lady, was only a happy free spirit when everyone was looking, but nobody was really watching. It's the shallow manipulators you watch though, they are the real grouches and cynics beneath the surface.
