Best Frenemies Forever is the first half of the ninth episode of the Canadian animated series Rated A for Awesome. It first aired on December 24, 2011.

Plot
After getting exposed for faking a music video, Chet is forced to live with Team Awesome. When things get out of hand, Lester comes up with a new Awesomization: Bring Chet's old life back.

Why It's The Worst Frenemy Forever

 * 1) Let's actually get started with one of the biggest problems that make this episode completely unawesome (no pun intended): It's nothing but a complete torture episode overall, especially for Team Awesome. All of the pain Team Awesome goes through is just insufferable and mean-spirited, especially for a series that (while average as a whole) doesn't often rely on mean-spirited humor.
 * 2) Chet is at his absolute worst in this episode, as he does nothing but torture Team Awesome for exposing him because of his artificial music video. Here's what he does in this episode: He ruins Lester's video game console by treating it like a sandwich maker, he also ruins Noam's speakers by treating it like a soup maker, then he makes Team Awesome deal with his rancid smell by refusing to take a shower. He also then treats Lester's novel as toilet paper.
 * 3) In another way, it is also a Chet-torture episode, because of how all of the kids humiliate him throughout the entire episode, though it is justified because of how much of a complete jerk Chet was the whole episode.
 * 4) Since Chet was just a complete jerkface the whole episode, the episode's name is unsurprisingly misleading: The title claims that Team Awesome and Chet are best frenemies, but since Chet did nothing but treat Team Awesome terribly the whole episode, it's better to say that they are the exact opposite of best frenemies.
 * 5) It was kind of mean for Team Awesome to expose Chet in the beginning, although that moment was funny. The one thing that was wrong with that moment however was that eventually, this would result in all of the bad that happened in the episode all because Chet got embarrassed from his exposure as a result of autotuning his music video.
 * 6) The episode tries so hard to sympathize Chet, but it fails miserably at it due to how bad Chet's actions were the whole episode.
 * 7) Chet's father is also quite unlikable in this episode, as he treats his son badly for the embarrassing music video.
 * 8) Plot Hole: Why would Team Awesome even record their own embarrassing moments in the first place and save them into a tape? Usually, no one would even dare to record or remember their own embarrassing moments in real life.
 * 9) Half-bad ending: Speaking of the tape recording, Chet shows all of Glickersville the embarrassing moments of Team Awesome, to the point where everyone makes fun of Team Awesome. Worse, Chet doesn't even think to say goodbye kindly to Team Awesome after getting his fame back, meaning he got away with all of the bad things he did throughout the whole episode, thus labeling him a Karma Houdini

Redeeming Qualities

 * 1) The title card is creative and well-drawn, as with every other episode of the show.
 * 2) The beginning, while rather mean-spirited towards Chet, was actually hilarious, because of Chet's hilariously bad autotune, and especially the version of his video without autotune
 * 3) The ending, while in some cases bad, is actually kind of funny if you go deeper into it, where Lester is about to destroy the tape, but Twitchy steals it and runs away with it while Team Awesome chases him.
 * 4) All of Team Awesome (aside from the beginning) were still likable in this episode, as they were sympathetic based on how poorly Chet treated them, and how they did try to bring Chet's old life back.
