* ''TabletopGame/YuGiOh'': The Water-attribute card "Giant Pairfish", which is from the Wyrm subtype, shows a couple of fishes, one of a dark blue colour and a dark pink fish (the latter presumably female) with a lovey-dovey look in their eyes and hearts in their pupils. To further show how in love they are, there are even [[CardiovascularLove hearts flying around the pair]].

To be fair, almost all relationships go through a "Honeymoon Phase" in the first few months of dating, where the couple can do nothing but sing each other's praises, much to the annoyance of their friends, families, and coworkers (especially the single ones). But after a while, passions cool as the couple integrates the relationship into their everyday lives. Granted, you do have those couples who never ''stop'' [[GlurgeAddict laying it on thick]]. A SisterTrope to MakeOutKids, when a couple makes others feel uncomfortable by being very affectionate in public, and InsatiableNewlyweds, when tying the knot starts up the sugar rush all over again. The bane of every AffectionHatingKid.

* Wrestling/CodyRhodes and Wrestling/DamienSandow, while not "a couple" in the traditional sense, were very "Best Friends", which the latter would state [[CatchPhrase at every opportunity]] while also talking up Cody's finer mental and physical points, especially his [[PornStache mustache]].

* Ned and Betty in ''Film/SpiderManFarFromHome'', who go all in on the lovey-dovey stuff on each other throughout the film, much to [[Franchise/SpiderMan Peter]]'s befuddlement. [[spoiler:By the film's end, they've broken up, but remain AmicableExes.]]

* After they start dating in ''Fanfic/BlackRosesBloomSilver'', Ruby and Penny quickly veer into this territory. They spend much as much of their free time as possible cuddling, kissing, telling each other how wonderful the other is, and flooding places with rose petals involuntarily produced by Ruby's Semblance. The rest of the cast waver between being annoyed by their antics and fearing heart failure from how sugary sweet the two are.

* There's always at least one {{showmance}} like this in a theatre production. To everyone involved, it's a distraction.
* This is a common behavior among HormoneAddledTeenager[=s=].
* This trope can be particularly annoying if you're single yourself and your go-to single friend and partner in crime has just seemingly found the person of their dreams. Hell, it can be downright lonely and depressing in that situation. If that's you, don't worry; eventually, your friend will come back around once the relationship stabilizes (assuming they don't break up; love can be fickle).
* Subverted in the ''Series/BehindTheMusic'' episode about Music/{{TLC}}. When Left Eye was dating football player Andre Rison, her bandmates would get annoyed by their sappiness. T-Boz mentioned how they'd always call each other baby: "Hey Baby... Baby... Baby..." and it segued straight to Chilli, interviewed separately, saying the exact same thing. Two years into the relationship Left Eye [[WomanScorned burned his house down]][[note]]Admittedly, it was an accident. She had previously burned a teddy bear collection in the same bathtub after a previous fight and assumed that the current target of her rage (a pair of woman's sneakers that weren't her size) wouldn't be any worse. However, what she didn't realize was she had damaged the previous (marble) tub so badly, it had to be replaced with one made of fiberglass, which melted and ignited the wooden baseboards underneath. She ran for her life when she couldn't put out the fire.[[/note]] when she thought he was cheating.
* [[http://gothic-charm-school.com/charm/?p=27 This]] installment of Gothic Charm School provides some useful tips for dealing with people like this.
* [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lovebird Lovebirds]] are famous for essentially being the Sickeningly Sweethearts of the bird world, to the point that an UrbanLegend has it that a lovebird will die of loneliness if kept without a mate.[[note]]While almost certainly false, this urban legend may have an element of truth to it; keeping a single lovebird is not an automatic death sentence for the bird, but bear in mind that in the absence of another lovebird, your pet will seek companionship in its owner -- i.e. ''you''. Unless you spend a decent amount of time with your bird (and have enough time to spend with it to begin with), odds are it will live a very unhappy -- and possibly much shorter -- life.[[/note]] Needless to say, the urban legend coupled with the adorableness of these birds cuddling and preening each other is often what leads potential lovebird owners to always buy two of them... only for them to be baffled when they realize that the birds refuse to pay any attention to them because they're so wrapped up in each other.
* Subverted on Website/{{Facebook}} by the dreaded joint profile: "[=JohnAndMary=] Parker" for instance. The couple '''wants''' you to think they're perfectly happy lovebirds, but it's far more likely that someone got caught cheating. Creating a joint page, where both partners have access to chat history, is a last-ditch compromise to save the relationship.

* Luz and Amity can be this way sometimes in ''Fanfic/EnchantingHeist''. King even lampshades it when he and Amity are looking for Luz, saying they don't even know where she is and Amity is still gushing over her upon Ann asking Amity about what Luz was like, asking if she can save it for when and or where he doesn't have to hear it.

* This is a common behavior among HormoneAddledTeenagers.

* This is a common behavior among teens.

* ''Wiki/SCPFoundation'': Would you believe a pair of boats can be this? SCP-1522 is a pair of {{Sapient Ship}}s that follow and play with whale pods, "kiss" by gently nudging into each other, and "talk" to each other using their foghorns. WordOfGod is that the foghorn conversation between the two transcribed in the log consists of "I love you" and "I love you too." [[spoiler: [[http://www.scp-wiki.net/scp-1522 Unfortunately,]] [[TogetherInDeath it ends tragically]].]]

* ''ComicStrip/LucyAndSophieSayGoodBye'' is a formulatic strip about two women who so caught up in one another, and kissing one another, that they are oblivious to their surroundings.

* Many fanworks have [[WesternAnimation/PhineasAndFerb Phineas and Isabella]] as young examples of this trope. Here is a far-from-complete list:
** ''Fanfic/FindingDad'', where the two of them are this during the first summer vacation
** ''Fanfic/LowridersPhineasAndFerbVerse''
** ''Fanfic/MoreTroubleThanItsWorth''

* In ''Fanfic/HeroicMyth'', Sigurd and Brynhildr are constantly flirting and espousing their love for each other, much to the annoyance and jealousy of gods and mortals alike.
* ''Fanfic/SonOfTheSannin'': While Kiba and Tamaki have basically been stuck in the BelligerentSexualTension phase since they were eight, [[spoiler:their Genjutsu world counterparts]] are so open about their relationship that they actually stop in the middle of a life or death battle to have a "No, I love you more" argument.
* in the ''{{Series/Firefly}}'' fic ''[[https://m.fanfiction.net/s/3230707/2/ San Diego Serenede]]'' Mal wakes up in the infirmary with Kaylee and Simon after he and Simon were tortured. Simon tells Kaylee he went to her when he died, and Mal makes a fake gagging noise and tells them to "stop making goo goo eyes at each other". They say no in unison.
* Keith and Tophella from ''FanFic/TotalDramaLegacy''. The two of them are to romantic relationships what [[WesternAnimation/TotalDrama Katie and Sadie]] were to platonic relationships: they were introduced as having already had a close relationship with each other, are pretty much inseparable, often go on and on about how much they care about each other, and when one of them gets eliminated, the other doesn't really have much to do until their own elimination.

* Melty Flame and Melty Frost in ''Webcomic/SleeplessDomain'', to the point that when Undine briefly entertained the idea of asking to join their team, she quickly realized she'd just be the third wheel.

* Spoofed in the movie ''Film/TheNakedGun 33 ⅓: The Final Insult''. [[https://youtu.be/A096Yh5m_X8 While at marriage counseling]], Frank and Jane start calling each other sappy pet names. At first, the therapist smiles at the display, but after a few more he says "Mr. and Mrs. Drebin, [[SickeninglySweet I'm a diabetic]]. I think you two ought to go now."

* ''Webcomic/{{xkcd}}'': [[http://xkcd.com/515/ "No one must know"]] that Black Hat (a self-described "[[JerkAss Classhole]]") and his equally terrible girlfriend Danish are like this.

* Parodied in ''Webcomic/QuestionableContent'', when Marten and Dora engage in cutesy banter... [[https://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=772 necrophilia]].

-->'''Penelope''':[[{{Squick}} Just nauseating]].

* Parodied in ''Webcomic/QuestionableContent'', when Marten and Dora engage in cutesy banter... about necrophilia.
-->"At least they're not one of those sickeningly cute couples. [[{{Squick}} Just sickening]]."

* One of WebVideo/ThomasSanders' WebOriginal/{{Vine}}s is set up around this, ending with him carrying the girl down the hall ballet-style with an "I'm off to class with my lady love!"

[[caption-width-right:175:[[WesternAnimation/{{Futurama}} This concept of "wuv" confuses and infuriates us!]]]]

* in the ''{{Series/Firefly}}'' fic ''[[https://m.fanfiction.net/s/3230707/2/ San Diego Serenede]]'' Mal wakes up in the infirmary with Kaylee and Simon after he and Simon were tortured. Simon tells Kaylee he went to her when he died, and Mal makes a fake gagging noise and tells them to “stop making goo goo eyes at each other”. They say no in unison.

Some romances [[DestructiveRomance are painful]], [[NoAccountingForTaste others are]] [[DeadSparks dead]], [[HappilyMarried a few are happy]], and then there are those which are... ''[[TastesLikeDiabetes cute]]''.

* ''WesternAnimation/TheLEGOMovie2TheSecondPart'' has [[spoiler: Batman x Queen Watevra Wa'Nabi. After falling for one another, they become very lovey-dovey with Ice Cream Cone repeatedly breaking them up to tell them to stop with their affections. At one point, Batman asks if he's been there the whole time, which he responds that he has & he's sad about it]].

* The ''Film/UltramanZearth'' series of films managed to pull this off with their villains, a ''[[UnholyMatromony married]]'' couple of ruthless alien invaders, the powerful Alien Benzene and his wife, Lady Benzene. They repeatedly goes "I wuv you..." "I wuv you too..." via intercom in the sequel, and it's ''hilarious''.
