History ShipperOnDeck / WesternAnimation

** Layla's boyfriend Nabu spends much of season 4 trying to help his best friend Riven save his [[BeligerentSexualTension relationship]] with Layla's best friend Musa.

** [[AFairlyOddMovieGrowUpTimmyTurner The live-action film]] gives an odd inversion to this, in that Cosmo and Wanda spend much of the first half of the film trying to prevent Timmy and Tootie from getting together, since it would mean Timmy would officially be grown up and they'd have to leave him. [[spoiler:This eventually begins to change after Poof brings them to realize it's wrong to prevent Timmy from growing up, and by the end of the film, they're happy that Timmy and Tootie are finally together.]]
* ''WesternAnimation/Ben10AlienForce''
** Gwen supports Ben/Julie and Ben supports Gwen/Kevin. In the tradition of the series, it is as [[RomanticPlotTumor awkward]] and [[StrangledByTheRedString forced]] as the actual romance.
** We're not sure of Gwen's reaction to their break-up in ''[[WesternAnimation/Ben10Omniverse Omniverse]]''. Though she's probably disappointed and thinks it's mostly because of Ben. (In fairness, it ''was'' mostly because of Ben.)

** Amore, the pixie of love, obviously. She most blatantly ships Stella/Brandon and [[spoiler: Princess Amentia and her UnluckyChildhoodFriend.]]

** Nabu spends much of season 4 trying to help his best friend Riven save his relationship with Layla's best friend Musa.

* ''WesternAnimation/DannyPhantom'': Tucker ships his best friends, Danny and Sam, long before either of them starts to realize their feelings for one another.
** Not to mention Danny's Parents, the kids at his school, even Danny's ghost enemies ship them together at one point or another.
*** Geez even their dreams shipped them together.

** Also, despite what HoYay fans might tell, Odd is definitely a Ulrich/Yumi shipper, even trying to advise Ulrich on the subject. Of course, Ulrich never follows his advices.

* For about the first three seasons of ''WesternAnimation/{{Daria}}'', Jane shipped her brother Trent with her best friend Daria.
** In "Write Where It Hurts", Daria's last story has [[LovableLibby Quinn]] married to [[AccidentalMisnaming Jaime]], one of her three constant suitors, while in another story [[TheDitz Jesse]] is apparently dating [[CoolLoser Jane]]. Of course, yet another story had [[CrackPairing Jane/Kevin]] in a GraduateHomageShot (with [[DumbJock Kevin]] as Elaine), so these probably shouldn't be taken too seriously.

* In the ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'' episode "Hearts and Hooves Day", the Cutie Mark Crusaders attempt to set their teacher Cheerilee up with Applebloom's older brother Big Macintosh. HilarityEnsues when they go as far as to make a LovePotion.

** And whoever wrote the play in "Ember Island Players" was clearly a Zutarian, to the point that the characters were weirded out by it. While it upsets Aang, thinking if Katara does see him as a brother. While Katara is just confused about their relationship at the moment, due to the war.
** As well as the infamous Saint Jun, we have the [[ObviouslyEvil bald, tattooed criminals]] from "Avatar Day" who are apparently ship Kataang.

** Even the villains seem to ship the heroes, in ''A Very Possible Christmas'' Drakken apparently ships Kim/Ron, even pushing them together under mistletoe [[spoiler:(it was actually parsley)]] as soon as Kim arrives; Shego ships Josh/Kim in ''Blush'' and then Kim/Ron in ''[[GrandFinale Graduation]]''.

** Kim's mom also seemed to secretly ship [[OfficialCouple Kim/Ron]] for the first three seasons. Became not-so-secret in ''[[TheMovie So the Drama]]''.

** Averted with Little Suzy, who doesn't want her big brother to be with ANY other girl except for her.

** Kent Nelson shipped Artemis and Wally together long before they actually got together for real. His last words to Wally were to find his own spitfire like his own wife Inza, who never let Kent get away with anything.

* On ''WesternAnimation/SouthPark'' episode ''Cartman Finds Love'', Cartman becomes obsessed with pairing up new girl Nichole and Token, [[TokenMinorityCouple since they're both black]]. So much so, in fact, that when he learns Nichole has a crush on Kyle (and vice versa), he tells her that [[FoeYay he and Kyle]] are a gay couple. He even [[spoiler:follows Kyle on his date with Nichole, professes his love for him over the megascreen and serenades him with John Michael Montgomrry's "I Swear"]] just so Nichole and Token can be together.

* ''WesternAnimation/Detentionaire'' found a way to weaponize this trope.

** We're not sure of Gwen's reaction to their break-up in ''[[WesternAnimation/Ben10Omniverse Omniverse]]''. Though she's probably disappointed and thinks it's mostly because of Ben.

*** In a later edition, [[GreatGazoo Larry]] tries to be this for all the Titans, and steals [[LovePotion Cupid's (Eros's) arrows]] to do so, resulting in a series of pairings ranging from the understandable, to the completely bizarre. In fact, the whole reason he did this was ''because'' of the Robin/Starfire moment in Tokyo above.

** And in ''ComicBook/TeenTitansGo'', the comics based off of the western animation, Starfire seems to ship Beast Boy/Raven. "Perhaps Raven was teleported into an alternate dimension where she and Beast Boy are madly in love and ask me to be their maid of the bride at their matrimonial ceremony?"

** As well as the infamous Saint Jun, we have the [[ObviouslyEvil bald, tattoed criminals]] from "Avatar Day" who are apparently ship Kataang.

** In "Write Where It Hurts", Daria's last story has [[LovableLibby Quinn]] married to [[MyNameIsNotDurwood Jaime]], one of her three constant suitors, while in another story [[TheDitz Jesse]] is apparently dating [[CoolLoser Jane]]. Of course, yet another story had [[CrackPairing Jane/Kevin]] in a GraduateHomageShot (with [[DumbJock Kevin]] as Elaine), so these probably shouldn't be taken too seriously.

** Yumi's [[AnnoyingYoungerSibling little brother]] Hiroki ships Yumi and Ulrich. He makes several comments throughout the series, including one where Ulrich was fighting a [[GiantEnemyCrab Krab]] that had entered the real world, and he shouts, "This is so awesome! I keep telling you, you gotta go out with this guy!" In a public street, in front of Yumi, Ulrich and both of Yumi's parents.

*** While it upsets Aang, thinking if Katara ''does'' see him as a brother. While Katara is just confused about their relationship at the moment, due to the war.
** As well as the infamous Saint Jun, we have the [[ObviouslyEvil bald, tattoed criminals]] from "Avatar Day" who are apparently ship Kataang, and [[TheDragon Azula]] who ships Maiko. Azula jumped ship at the end of "Boiling Rock" but she was all for it before [[spoiler:Zuko's HeelFaceTurn,]] because Zuko staying with Mai was, in her mind, the best way to [[ManipulativeBastard keep him where she wants him.]] [[spoiler:It works, but NOT in the way she expected... as Zuko leaves anyway and later Mai has a HeelFaceTurn for him. "I love Zuko more than I fear you!", indeed.]]

** In the SequelSeries, ''WesternAnimation/TheLegendOfKorra'', [[BookWorm Jinora]] and [[GenkiGirl Ikki]] ship Makorra.
** Interestingly, Mako himself in one episode comes off as a shipper for Korra and his brother Bolin.
*** [[spoiler: Hilarious in hindsight considering Book One ends not just with Mako having feelings for Korra himself, but declaring his love for her.]]

** The series also has an inversion with [[AlphaBitch Sally Avril]], who just wants her friend [[LovableAlphaBitch Liz]] to stop fawning over that puny Parker. She even does an IronicEcho of Mary Jane's "Finally" when [[spoiler:Liz and Peter break up]].

* On ''WesternAnimation/TotalDramaIsland,'' Cody helps his friend Trent hook up with Gwen, [[IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy even though he also has a crush on her]]. In the same vein, Geoff and DJ could both tell that their friend Duncan and Courtney liked each other and playfully teased her about it.

* From ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitans'', Cyborg shipping Robin and Starfire. It even became a plot point in one episode and ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitansTroubleInTokyo''. "It's about time."

* In the season 3 premiere of ''{{Superjail}}'', Jared and Charise act as this to the idea of the Warden and the Mistress getting together and try to manipulate them into having sex to do so. Although, it's more for their own sake, as they feel if their bosses get together, they'll be able to be together in a united jail. Unfortunately for them, their plan is sunk when it turns out that Warden has no clue how to have sex, leaving Alice to sleep with the Mistress and cause her to abandon the idea of wanting to rule the jail.

* Jun of ''WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender'' does this for the famous Zutara pairing, starting first when Zuko asks her to track Aang with Katara's necklace, as she states "Aw, is it your girlfriend?" or something like that. Her second appearance causes an [[SheIsNotMyGirlfriend I'm Not Her Boyfriend]] moment.

* Done in a roundabout way by Mary Jane on ''WesternAnimation/TheSpectacularSpiderMan''. She goes to the school dance with Peter, but later meets and befriends Gwen when she transfers to Midtown High. Upon realizing that [[UnluckyChildhoodFriend Gwen has feelings for Peter]], she gives her a pep talk which [[spoiler:helps convince Gwen to spontaneously kiss Peter in the season 1 finale.]] She continues to support the possibility of a pairing between them throughout season 2.

* In ''WesternAnimation/KimPossible'', Ron being kissed by Kim often makes his naked mole rat Rufus say "awww" in response. By comparison, he acts disgusted if Ron gets kissed by a different girl. And at the end of the movie, when they finally get together, but are still a little shy about it, he pushes them together to start them dancing.

* ''WesternAnimation/Ben10AlienForce'' has both Gwen's support for Ben/Julie and Ben's support for Gwen/Kevin. In the tradition of the series, it is as [[RomanticPlotTumor awkward]] and [[StrangledByTheRedString forced]] as the actual romance.

* SelfDemonstrating/TheJoker in ''WesternAnimation/JusticeLeague'' shipped GreenLantern and Hawkgirl in [[AxCrazy his own quirky way]].

** And then, we have a few people who tried to encourage Franchise/{{Batman}} and Franchise/WonderWoman to get together, including Wonder Woman herself. [[CelibateHero Batman will have none of it.]]

* In ''WesternAnimation/CodeLyoko'' Yumi's [[AnnoyingYoungerSibling little brother]] Hiroki ships Yumi and Ulrich. He makes several comments throughout the series, including one where Ulrich was fighting a giant crab that had entered the real world, and he shouts, "This is so awesome! I keep telling you, you gotta go out with this guy!" In a public street, in front of Yumi, Ulrich and both of Yumi's parents.

** In season two, ''Black Manta'', of all people ships [[spoiler:Aqualad/Tigress [Artemis]]]--he thinks they're a couple, and he clearly approves.

** In season two, ''Black Manta'', of all people [[spoiler:ships Aqualad/Tigress [Artemis] - he thinks they're a couple, and he clearly approves]].

* In ''WesternAnimation/YoungJustice'', WordOfGod states that [[spoiler: Black Manta was under the mistaken impression that his son and "Tigress" were lovers and his actions in-universe would say he was okay with it.]]

* In ''WesternAnimation/YoungJustice'', WordOfGod states that [[spoiler: Black Manta was under the mistaken impression that his son and ''Tigress'' were lovers and his actions in-universe would say he was okay with it.]]

* In ''WesternAnimation/GeneratorRex'', Rex hints to Six at the end of ''A Family Holiday'' and ''Riddle of the Sphinx'' that he and Holiday should get together.

** And whoever wrote the play in "Ember Island Players" was clearly a Zutaran, to the point that the characters were weirded out by it.

* ''{{WesternAnimation/Archer]]'''s Pam seems to ship Archer and Lana and [[OfficialCouple Cyril and Lana]]. She's shown to disprove of Cyril cheating on Lana in the first season and guilts Cheryl for initiating their affairs. She later encourages him to spy on Lana and Archer during a mission, mostly so she can spy on Archer and Lana in the hopes of watching have sex. Cheryl also teases Cyril about Archer and Lana hooking up, but this is likely just to mess with him.

** In "Write Where It Hurts," Daria's last story has [[LovableLibby Quinn]] married to [[IAmNotDurwood Jaime]], one of her three constant suitors, while in another story [[TheDitz Jesse]] is apparently dating [[CoolLoser Jane]]. Of course, yet another story had [[CrackPairing Jane/Kevin]] in a GraduateHomageShot (with [[DumbJock Kevin]] as Elaine), so these probably shouldn't be taken too seriously.

** In "For the Love of Gunther", Kick tried to help Gunther hooking up with with Jackie - Partly to get rid of her, but also because he wanted to help his friend.
** At the end of "Dancing With the Enemy," Kick and Kendall are having a very affectionate moment, until someone in the crowd shouts "Kiss her!" This, of course, is their cue to go back to acting as if they hate each other.

-->Robin [about [[spoiler: Miss Martian and Superboy]] being together]: "You know that they're a couple, right?"
-->Aqualad: "I believe I knew it before they did!"
** In season two, ''Black Manta'' of all people [[spoiler: ships Aqualad/Tigress (Artemis) - he thinks they're a couple, and he clearly approves.]]

* In the ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'' episode "Hearts and Hooves Day" the Cutie Mark Crusaders attempt to set their teacher Cheerilee up with Applebloom's older brother Big Macintosh. HilarityEnsues when they go as far as to make a LovePotion.
* On ''WesternAnimation/SouthPark'' episode ''Cartman Finds Love'', Cartman becomes obsessed with pairing up new girl Nichole and Token, [[TokenMinorityCouple since they're both black]]. So much so, in fact, that when he learns Nichole has a crush on Kyle (and vice-versa), he tells her that [[FoeYay he and Kyle]] are a gay couple. He even [[spoiler:follows Kyle on his date with Nichole, professes his love for him over the megascreen and serenades him with John Michael Montgomrry's "I Swear"]] just so Nichole and Token can be together.
* In Angel's Friends the BigBad ships Raf and Sulfus, since Raf is an angel and Sulfus is a demon and them getting together would free her from her prison.
* In ''WesternAnimation/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles2012'', a newly-woken April perks up and demands all the squeeworthy details when she finds out that Leonardo has met a girl. She's clearly ready and willing to support him and his new love interest (possibly understanding that this is something he can't tell his brothers). Then she finds out that the girl he's talking about is a member of the evil Foot Clan, and [[ArmorPiercingSlap proceeds to show him her disapproval.]]
