* ''It's Grim Up North London'': Jez and Quin in the Magazine/PrivateEye comic strip. Maybe they're a stereotyped gay couple; maybe they're an equally stereotyped pair of upper-middle-class artistic types, who happen to share a flat.

* ''ComicStrip/TerryAndThePirates'': CreepyCrossdresser Sanjak dresses like a man and wears a monocle that she uses to hypnotise people; most notably Terry's girlfriend April. Her use of a monocle carries some interesting connotations, as in the early 20th century, a woman wearing a monocle would most likely be assumed to be a lesbian.

* ''WebVideo/CriticalRole'' has Caduceus Clay. He's made several comments on the attractiveness of male NPC's and seems rather uncomfortable when Nott tries to get him to compliment the bright queen.

Added DiffLines:


[[folder:Web Animation]]
* Coach Z of ''WebAnimation/HomestarRunner'' was shown married to Bubs and has worn a skirt and hair curlers in two different toons. The only reason why he is ambiguous is that his sexuality is never mentioned. He's likely AmbiguouslyBi due to his obsessive attraction to Marzipan.
* ''WebAnimation/IAmOctavia'' is about how Octavia is on the brink of breaking her friendship with Vinyl Scratch because Vinyl is always too busy for her. Their relationship is only referred to as a friendship, but there's a lot of deliberate subtexts. It doesn't help that the song it's parodying is often interpreted as a romantic song.
* ''WebAnimation/MetaRunner'': Belle racked up a fair number of this just ten episodes in. A number of her interactions with Tari include leaning in nice and close while calling her names like "honey" and "babe". Her reaction to what happened to her former gaming partner Lucina and how they interacted beforehand also heavily implies they may have been more than friends. [[spoiler:The "ambiguous" part was dropped in the series finale when it was confirmed that she and Lucina were in a romantic relationship that they gleefully resume when the latter is brought back.]]
* ''WebAnimation/MinecraftTheNoobAdventures'' has Gaylord_Steambath, who, on an interesting off note, is also {{The Sociopath}}ic and, uh, well, [[DelusionsofEloquence kind of]] [[LargeHam eccentric]] antagonist of the series.
* ''WebAnimation/TheMostPopularGirlsInSchool'': There's been a ton of examples among the ''unconfirmed'' characters, but one that comes to mind is the fact that Rachel brought Judith to prom. And Judith was wearing a ''tuxedo''. Woof.
* ''WebAnimation/NomadOfNowhere'' features Skout and Toth. Skout is very eager to please Toth while Toth, a generally hard-headed bounty hunter type, is uncharacteristically kind to (and protective of) Skout.
* ''WebAnimation/RedVsBlue'':
** Donut. In Season 1, he had been given pink armor ("It's not pink, it's ''lightish red''!") and was your typical new recruit. In Season 2 (where this trope comes into play) he started using lotions, talking about his feelings, screaming like a woman, analysing dreams, and generally being as effeminate as possible while retaining some air of heterosexuality. The song "Donut: The Musical" from the Season 9 soundtrack is full of double-entendres and similar sounding words (that the other Red members keep asking to repeat).
--->'''Tucker:''' I don't think Santa's outfit is a biker's costume and a codpiece, Donut.\\
'''Donut:''' It was the best Christmas ever!
** He remained high camp but still just ambiguous enough as time went on, though jokes about his sexuality decreased as LGBTQ acceptance became more and more of a hotbed issue, emphasizing his ditziness instead. Even the double-entendres were ultimately revealed to be just him trying to be funny, but it just led everyone to dismiss him and generally not take him seriously. Eventually Season 17 saw him undergo major character development, forming deep friendships with already-deep characters like Wash or Carolina, when before, they all had just seen him as a nuisance.
* The hosts of ''WebAnimation/{{Spill}}'', in their review of ''Film/BeautifulCreatures'', claim that [[SouthernGentleman upper-class, "posh" Southern accents]] come off as sounding like this.

* ''WebVideo/CriticalRole'' has Caduceus Clay. He's made several comments on the attractiveness of male NPC's and seems rather uncomfortable when Nott tries to get him to compliment the bright queen.
* The titular character of ''WebVideo/DaisyBrown''. In [[https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Lgf1RkrAX5c "Another cooking video!"]], the hidden messages in the closed captioning appear to be of a conversation Daisy is having with her father, in which she asks if she's able to marry another girl. In [[https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=4vOe4_W0UI8 "Artistic video"]], she tells Alan a bedtime story she made up, wherein the queen of the moon falls in love with the queen of the stars.
* ''WebVideo/TheFantasticFavioBros'': [[TheLancer Tony]] often acts as the foil to [[TheHero Favio]]. As such, while Favio is a ChivalrousPervert, Tony is ambiguously gay. His EvilTwin, [=LeTony=], also has traces of ambiguous sexuality.
* ''WebVideo/{{Jreg}}'': In ''Centricide'', Anarcho-Primitivist's interaction with Homonationalist shows him being offended that the latter does not find him attractive. Whether this indicates an attraction to other men or is just a matter of pride is a matter of debate.
* WebVideo/TheNostalgiaCritic's review of ''Film/BatmanAndRobin'' uses the jingle from ''[[Series/SaturdayNightLive The Ambiguously Gay Duo]]'' to lampshade this trope.
* Nick and Beck of ''Theatre of Life'' fame. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KgY_rNQj-EU They do it on purpose.]]

%%* ''Don't Fear the Dark'' has Lieutenant Starkey.
%%* Barry "The Blender" Henderson and Thomas "The Tanker" Smythe of ''I Am Fighter'' both fit some extent; Thomas frequently takes it to Squick levels.
