18----
19* Due to the nature of the handler's writing, Uriel Hunter of ''Roleplay/SurvivalOfTheFittest'' had plenty of {{Subtext}} in his relationship with Jacob Starr (although Starr seemed oblivious to the undertones). This was [[LampshadeHanging alluded to]] in one of the announcements, where three of the terrorists read a particularly bad piece of {{FanFiction}} (a slashfic, obviously) involving the pair. It becomes less hilarious when [[spoiler: the terrorists realise they had accidentally been announcing the fic to the entire island.]] [[BigBad Danya]] is not pleased.
20** Lately, version 4 characters Liam "Brook" Brooks and Jason Harris have also been seen this way by the handlers of the board. It came after one had to rescue the other in pre-game, where there was a lot of... ''interesting'' dialogue between them.
21** Even ''Evolution'' on the mini site is not safe. Some handlers interpret Holly Chapman as being jealous of Cristo Ruiz, because he is blatantly flirting with Iris Landon (which causes Holly to be annoyed), and once he takes off with her, Holly decides to follow them to make sure he doesn't try to kill Iris. As a result, Holly x Iris was one of the first ships to come up for ''Evolution''.
22** Also v4, Garry Villete and Saul Fettersalf have been seen this way as well. It stems partly from the fact that Garry shows some [[UsefulNotes/FurryFandom furry]] tendencies and that Saul is the school mascot (Bayview's mascot being The Huskies). Add in the fact that they ''are'' [[HeterosexualLifePartners pretty close]], and…?
23* ''LetsPlay/ModestlyProphitic'': Invoked in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0cbD8Wl7b_E Spyro2 episode 21]] and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=45z3u-O16WU Spyro2 episode 15]].
24-->Corey: "Your parents are right upstairs, too. They can probably hear all this shit."
25* [[http://albruno3.tripod.com/ Ab3]]'s mostly-true gaming anecdotes, ''The Literature/BinderOfShame'', feature occasional moments of disturbing oddity between Weasley Crusher and the aptly-nicknamed Deviant Boy which could be interpreted this way, including their decision to roleplay together as [[NinjaPirateZombieRobot incestuous lesbian stripper commandos complete with matching toe-rings]] in a ''Lords of Creation'' game, which may have been referred to again later when Weasley complained about Deviant Boy's girlfriend Asenath (or it could have been referring to a separate occasion, which adds fuel to the fire) and declared that he "was a way better girlfriend to him in game than she is in real life". And Weasley once tried to leave the game early after his character died:
26-->Ol' Yellowbelly: "Uh- I'm your ride home."
27-->Weasly Crusher: "I'll walk."
28-->Rehab Boy: "It's snowing- and you know what they say... There's no business like snow business. Ha-Ha!"
29-->Weasly Crusher: "I'll take the bus."
30-->Blobert Smith: "But it is a Sunday night and the last bus has already come and gone like a midseason replacement TV series starring Charo and Emmanuel Lewis."
31-->Weasly Crusher: "Then I'll hitchhike."
32-->Deviant Boy: "You know what could happen to a tender morsel like you?"
33-->(Brief Horrified Pause)
34-->Deviant Boy: "What?"
35-->Me: "Ok. I will let Weasly make a new character if we [[LetUsNeverSpeakOfThisAgain never speak of that last moment again]]."
36** Then there's Biff Bam's behaviour towards every other player. He had a house rule that "real men have no fear" so during ''TabletopGame/{{Call of Cthulhu}}'' "the less sanity points you have, the more gay you are". Gleefully disregarding the implications, he then proceeded to insist that everyone strip to the waist because it was too hot in the room and the window was stuck, then "enforced his rulings by wrestling you to the ground and pinning you until you blacked out". Cheating Bastard refused to acknowledge anything strange about Biff's behaviour (but then he wasn't one of the ones who got wrestled to the ground), but the others must have been wondering.
37* Daniel and Jonas in ''WebVideo/{{lonelygirl15}}'' attracted much speculation.
38** Jonas and Steve in the ''WebVideo/{{KateModern}}'' crossover, which was later [[LampshadeHanging lampshaded]] by Gavin.
39** And speaking of ''[=KateModern=]'', Gavin and Tariq, as [[http://www.lg15.com/lgpedia/images/c/cc/TariqOffice3.jpg this picture]] demonstrates.
40* The Website/SCPFoundation has ([[{{Retcon}} or rather had]]) [[http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-182 SCP-182]], a telepathic human male [[OlderThanTheyLook who looks 17 and never ages]] who has an infaturation with [[http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-076 SCP-076]], another human male [[ReallySevenHundredYearsOld who appears to be from an ancient civilization yet is in his late 20's]]. (WordOfGod states that 182 may be infatuated with 076, but 076, who is a hyperviolent death god, is mostly pissed off that a telepath keeps trying to chat him up...
41* [[TheAbridgedSeries Abridged Series]] crack jokes about this all time, particularly [[NoFourthWall referencing]] [[YaoiFangirl fangirls]] and the [[MostFanficWritersAreGirls Fanfiction]] they are famous for.
42** [[WebVideo/YuGiOhTheAbridgedSeries "Yugi and Tea?]] [[HetIsEw What sort of messed-up fanfiction have you been reading?"]]
43** ''WebVideo/BerserkAbridged'' is particularly prone to this, considering the nature of Guts and Griffith's relationship. Also invoked regarding the Skullkight and Zodd, singing [[WesternAnimation/{{Aladdin}} A whole new world]] together.
44*** "Wait, are you suggesting Griffith may have bi-curious tendencies?"
45* ''Pete the Puppet'': During his [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sSQuPttBDLM rant about homosexuals]], Pete unintentially reveals a few homoerotic moments from his own childhood.
46* Dumbledore/Snape and Quirrell/Voldemort in ''Theatre/AVeryPotterMusical''. Both are very intentional and not at all subtle.
47** And Hermione and Draco, by way of CrosscastRole.
48* ''WebVideo/PrincessTutuAbridged'' does this with Duck and Rue, but surprisingly not that much between Fakir and Mytho.
49** The reason why is probably because it's too easy, and the abridging team stated that they would avoid obvious jokes.
50* Between [[WebVideo/{{Retsupurae}} Slowbeef and Dave_o]] in their ''VideoGame/{{Braid}}'' [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cvs5d50Rwsc retsupurae]].
51** Also, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Ou5WTZP8eY&feature Darknessthecurse and Rijno]] [[AlternativeCharacterInterpretation are]] gay lovers.
52* This quote on ''Overheard''. Also counts as HaveIMentionedIAmHeterosexualToday
53--->Girl #1: Are you Jane Jones*?\
54Girl #2: Yes.\
55Girl #1: I'm you're math tutor, nice to meet you.\
56Girl #2: Oh, you're cute! I could totally date you, but I'm not a lesbian.\
57Girl #1: Thanks! I could date you too, but I'm straight, and I have a boyfriend.
58* Josh and Chuck from the ''Stuff You Should Know'' podcast have the most delightful banter.
59---> Josh: Okay, pretend that you are a tube of lipstick, and that I'm a kleptomaniac. *goes through imaginary scenario for a kleptomaniac stealing a tube of lipstick*
60---> Chuck: Can I talk now?
61---> Josh: Yes.
62---> Chuck: It was weird being in your pocket.
63---> Josh: I liked it.
64* There's quite a bit of it between John Oliver and Andy Zaltzman on ''Podcast/TheBugle'' podcast.
65* Greasy and Peeper, in the Literature/WhateleyUniverse. While there are {{canon}} relationships (like Nikki and Bunny), Greasy and Peeper are supposed to be het. And roommates. And Greasy will do anything for Peeper. And he thinks about Peeper an awful lot. There's also Mule and Folder, which was really subtext-y, right up until [[spoiler: Folder died. Supposedly.]]
66* [[WebAnimation/ZeroPunctuation Yahtzee]] combines this in the form of utter fits of fanboyism, sex jokes and HaveIMentionedIAmHeterosexualToday for maximum comedic effect.
67* Most of the time, the contents of fanfiction are more "text" than "subtext", but given the slightly condescending view of slash expressed in the rest of his story, [[Fanfic/GuardiansOfPokemon Mr. Panda]] probably didn't mean for [[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/1771556/54/Guardians_of_Pokemon this]] to come off with quite so much lesbian subtext. [[spoiler:Katori was later revealed to be one of the Evil Guardians. Needless to say, Katana is ''not'' happy to learn this.]] Supporting this, Katana later develops a heterosexual crush.
68* The virtual pet site ''Website/UniCreatures'' has the [[http://unicreatures.com/creatures/Gemini/gemini.png Gemini]] creature. While it's based on the Zodiac sign, one can't help notice the... ''closeness'' of the two girls. It doesn't help that their description mentions how they manage to "find time just for the two of them." Doubles as {{Twincest}} [[IncestSubtext Yay]].
69* [[LetsPLay Foxy]] from Zorak's LetsPlay of ''[[GameMod Pokemon Quartz]]'' has this particular quote:
70--->'''Foxy''': Roxy once told me secretly that her friend Misty wasn't a very nice person. I dunno about that though... I think she's kind of cute!
71** Foxy has quite a few of these, and is implied to be a lesbian of the [[DoesNotLikeMen man-hating]] variety.
72--->'''Foxy''': *to a female NPC* Your legs... they're like salami. It might sound weird but... I really want to make a sandwich out of your legs right now.
73--->'''Foxy''': (Gym Leader) [[GenderBlenderName Danny]] is in fact a hot girl. I sure hope this battle goes well!
74* [[{{Yandere}} Swaim]] and [[{{Adorkable}} DOB]] in ''WebVideo/AgentsOfCracked''. Good ''god''. Even in the ''trailer'', the narrator states the subtitle of the show to be, "Two assholes suck each other off for an hour and a half!" [[spoiler:Fast forward to the end of the trailer. Swaim is shown from the waist up, panting and sweating. DOB pokes his head up from the bottom of the screen, and Swaim asks the narrator if they can switch now.]] Also, Swaim seems [[StalkerWithACrush very]] [[LoveMakesYouCrazy intent]] on getting DOB to be his best friend. [[spoiler:As of the series finale they are canon!]]
75* In Steamboat [[http://www.steamboatseries.com]], Dirk and Michael not only share a dressing room (possibly for financial reasons since the soap opera named Steamboat is facing low ratings and budget cuts) but in the first episode [[spoiler: Dirk is practicing his cop routine on Michael in his boxers and at the episodes end, Rhonda, Candy, Otto, and the film crew find them in a compromising position with Micheal handcuffed and Dirk right behind them.]]
76* Athena and Thalia in ''Literature/ThaliasMusings'' with [[{{GirlOnGirlIsHot}} help from Eros]]. Thalia is straight, but can be a little fangirlish about Athena. Athena is gay and is [[{{WillTheyOrWontThey}} in love with]] [[{{ButchLesbian}} Artemis]].
77** As of the second book, that last one is [[OfficialCouple no longer subtext]].
78* In ''WebVideo/EchoChamber'', when [[OnlySaneMan Dana]] says that [[InsufferableGenius Tom]] should sleep with "anyone" other than his PsychoExGirlfriend, [[CloudCuckooLander Zack]] interprets this to mean him.
79---> '''Zack''': Not it!
80** Also, from an in-character interview:
81-->'''Zack''': The Tom puppet is one of my favorite puppets, I put my hand in him all the time.
82* The Website/DesuDesBrigade's Vixen and Rabbit have a bit of an alternating {{Seme}}/{{Uke}} thing going on, Rabbit's debut has her drugging Vixen another has Vixen toting Rabbit around like a pet and a recent review has Rabbit trapping Vixen against a door, this moment ends just as their lips are about to touch.
83** Rabbit apparently got onto the site by sweet-talking Vixen in front of the dumbstruck male members of the brigade, again we almost see thier lips touch, the shameless pair!
84* Music/TomMilsom (hexachordal) with Alex Day (nerimon) during ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DNyHku88WPg Eyelashes]]''
85* Website/YouTube ''{{VideoGame/Minecraft}}'' [[LetsPlay LPers]] [=GuudeBoulderfist=] and [=BdoubleO100=] are made of 100% Ho Yay of the least subtle variety. Given that their videos together are more popular than their videos apart, they may also qualify as HeterosexualLifePartners.
86* Izm and A.E.D of Webcomic/HedoneHigh. [[BedmateReveal They've shared a bed]], A.E.D gave Izm CPR, [[InVinoVeritas they made out when they were drunk,]] and Izm seemed rather joyful that most people can't see them as anything other than boyfriends. Gets even better when you learn that in the [[BadFuture bad future]] where [[spoiler: A.E.D died from being shot,]] Izm became a ruthless drug lord who wouldn't hesitate to kill and maim.
87* Several WebVideo/LoadingReadyRun projects:
88** In ''WebVideo/CommodoreHustle'', Morgan is identified as the king of "misplaced gaiety". Bill plays him at his own game in "The [[GayBravado Gay Chicken]]".
89** Also in ''WebVideo/CommodoreHustle'', James' girlfriend Ashley reveals in season one ("Investigation") that James has frequent dreams about snuggling Matt in bed, or kissing Matt. In season two ("Sickness"), James admits to licking Matt's door handles, and jokingly tells Jer that they should stop making out if they're sick.
90** In James' first appearance in ''WebVideo/FeedDump'', "Magnet Boy & Fat Baby", James and Alex "make out" via two vuvuzelas that they are pressing against each other and blowing into. In "Toe Suckin' and Cat Screamin'", Paul offers to suck James' toes in exchange for information. In "Mexican Sex, Dolphins & Nudists", Andy sits on Jer's lap while pretending to be a stripper; in the same episode, Jer also tries to slip some dollar bills into Andy's shirt.
91* Who knew a simple fan video about [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=25zEr7dxQZ0 Christmas at Arkham Asylum]] would provide such a good example. The henchmen come off as a couple who happen to work together.
92* WebVideo/{{Smosh}}'s Anthony and Ian have a bit of an infamous Bromance. In their skits they frequently hug and share meaningful glances. In several videos they can be seen sharing a bed, and in one of those videos Anthony is naked. Ian ''proposes'' to Anthony at one point. And those are just the ''scripted'' examples.
93* Creator/{{John|Green}} and Music/{{Hank|Green}} of Website/YouTube's WebVideo/{{vlogbrothers}} share some occasional HoYay. In the words of Hank himself... "We've inspired a very unfortunate generation of slash fiction."
94* LetsPlay/{{Sips}} and LetsPlay/{{Sjin}} from the LetsPlay/{{Yogscast}}, who collaborate with each other frequently. There's not an episode that goes by without them making some kind of DoubleEntendre. Usually Sjin, although sometimes Sips [[FauxYay reciprocates]].
95** Sjin with just about ''anyone'' in the Yogscast, really. Innuendo seems to be one of his staples.
96* ''WebVideo/TheyMadeMeWatchThis'' finds he gets the most enjoyment from the ''{{Franchise/Barbie}}'' films he reviews by find Les Yay in wherever he can.
97* Sasha Hunter in ''Literature/GreekNinja'' has an encounter with a certain succubus... [[spoiler: who claims to be her/his ex from her/his life as Eli.]]
98* While Cecil of ''Podcast/WelcomeToNightVale'' is currently in a relationship with a Carlos, thus disqualifying his obsessions with him from this trope, he's also had a few suggestive lines about Scoutmaster Harlan and [[InterspeciesRomance Hiram McDaniels]].
99* [[LetsPlay LPers]] ZeRoyalViking and Chilled Chaos, so much so that they usually make fun of the amount of it. It is especially apparent in their {{VideoGame/Minecraft}} LP series.
100* On WebVideo/GameGrumps, [[NinjaSexParty Danny]] and Arin, as well as Arin and [[WebVideo/JonTron Jon]] make more than a few comments about their rather close relationships on the show. Of particular note is Arin's infamous [[http://youtu.be/7gA_PU4VuhQ?t=12m28s D Club story.]]
101* [[WebVideo/ACoupleofCuntsintheCountryside A Couple of Cunts in the Countryside]]. From [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tzmQrCRS2YQ Cammy making excuses to his parents to meet Duncan]] to [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X7ah3Er-RbE Duncan thinking about them being a gay couple on]] ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X7ah3Er-RbE the morning of his wedding]]'' to [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AZrO1toSkZ4 practically making out as they walk off camera]], there's plenty of material for those who think GuyOnGuyIsHot.
102* WebVideo/MatthewSantoro:
103** Matt and his clone, Eugene, have this whenever Eugene tries to use a [[Franchise/StarWars lightsaber]] against Matt, especially with the phallic nature of the lightsaber.
104** In ''Raygun vs. Fire!'', Hugo uses his ray gun to turn Eugene partially invisible, possibly as a playful way of saying that he likes him.
105** In ''Autumn is AWESOME!'', Matt tells Eugene that if he tells one more cheesy Halloween joke, he'll punch him right in the dick. One can only wonder why he would do that...
106** In ''500 MILLION!!!!'', [[TheBigGuy Big Shine]] demands that Matt explain himself, because he hasn't put up a video in 2 weeks. You can't help but think that Big Shine likes Matt as more than a friend and ''really'' wants to see him on screen.
107** In ''The End of the World!?'', Matt and [[TheDitz Hugo]] dance together, until they realize that the camera is still on and the audience can see them.
108** In ''World of Warcraft BEATDOWN'', [[TheBigGuy Big Shine]] beats up the 8-year-old Timmy Burns just because he left a {{troll}} comment on one of Matt's videos. If he believes that Matt's videos are that important, then it may be an indication that he has romantic feelings for Matt.
109** In TheStinger of ''Time to Rewrite History'', [[TheDitz Hugo]] and Eugene dress up as each other, which raises some questions about their relationship.
110** In ''Franchise/StarWars in 3-D!!!'', [[TheDitz Hugo]] wants to do the outro screen for Matt, possibly because he wants to be like Matt, which might indicate that he has feelings for him.
111** In TheStinger of ''500 MILLION!!!!'', Matt dances with an unnamed male, and the 2 of them seem to enjoy it.
112** In ''THE GREATEST EVAR!'', Matt talks about the 2010 divorce of Mary and UsefulNotes/AlGore, and calls it ridiculous. He says, "I mean, how could you not want to be with a guy like UsefulNotes/AlGore? He's so exciting!". He then adds, "And sexual" in a seductive voice, which seems to indicate that Matt has homoerotic feelings for UsefulNotes/AlGore.
113** In ''Q&A With Matt #5'', Matt says that the prime minister of Canada, Stephen Harper, is the 2nd-sexiest Canadian (behind Matt's girlfriend) and "a heartthrob".
114* In "WebVideo/EndTimes" it looks like people got really homosexual post-apocalypse:
115** Harry and Dane, obviously, but [[spoiler:it probably doesn't count after they actually get together.]]
116** The Archivist and Jen from the Burtke Intelligence Branch are already referred to as Jarchivist.
117** The Archivist's relationship with Ellie Burtke occasionally hits this mark, in a weird, creepy way.
118** Trace and Kimber are going down, and yelling Timber. According to some fans.
119* ''Podcast/RandomAssault'': Matt and Mitch, as of late, though it's only a joke. They're listed as "in a relationship" on Facebook because Matt's friends believe him to be gay.
120* ''WebVideo/CriticalRole'': The crown probably goes to [[Creator/LiamOBrien Vax]] and Gilmore here. They're very cuddly around each other, they've been on a "man-date" to a "strangely romantic" garden, Vax has kissed Gilmore on the cheek and [[spoiler: confided a whole bunch of party secrets to him]], and Gilmore is about as CampGay as it gets. But this is only the tip of the iceberg, of course:
121** Aside from Gilmore, Vax has also kissed Percy, which Creator/MatthewMercer then described as "the start of something beautiful". Vax kissed [[AscendedFanboy Kynan]] on the forehead, too, but that sort of crossed into NoYay:
122-->''Scanlan:'' Kiss him!
123-->''Vex:'' Don't kiss him, he's sixteen!
124** At one point, Vax says "nobody touches my man-wife!" about [[Creator/SamRiegel Scanlan]] - although this was more likely a joking reference to the actors' real-life HeterosexualLifePartners relationship.
125** Scanlan has also kissed Percy, and in Episode 24 claimed to be a lover of both women and men.
126** Lady Kima and Allura Vysoren have a lot of LesYay between them at their reunion, much to Tiberius's chagrin.
127* Markiplier and Jacksepticeye do everything they can to fuel their mutual fans' shipping frenzy for Septiplier. This is partially fanservice (which both are known to be particularly hamtastic with), and partially because the existence of the ship amuses them.
128* Ubiquitous in ''Fanfic/FarceOfTheThreeKingdoms,'' sometimes PlayedForLaughs, sometimes no. Sun Quan and Lu Su are actually a couple, but most other characters ''usually'' stick to EatingTheEyeCandy.
129* The [=YouTube=] channel ''WebVideo/MonteFjanton'''s series ''Mystikhörnan'' (Or "The Mystery Show" in the English subtitles) features two middle-aged conspiracy theorists called Kenneth and Morgan who try to convince the world that various conspiracy theories are real. Not only do they live together throughout the series; the third season raised some eyebrows when it was revealed that Morgan had actually carried around a photo of Kenneth in his wallet for many years even after they went separate ways[[note]]the only other photos in his wallet are of himself, a possible ex-girlfriend who is never seen in person, and Alex Jones[[/note]], and Kenneth was put in a FriendVersusLover situation with his possibly pregnant fiancée vs Morgan... In which Kenneth chose Morgan, directly leading to his divorce. Their bond comes across as fairly intimate even though Morgan has no problem with misusing Kenneth's idealistic faith in him for his own gain.
130* ''Website/NobodyHere'': Ironically enough, "[[https://nobodyhere.com/justme/homophobic.here Homophobic]]" comes across as particularly homoerotic. After Jogchem fears that he's homophobic because he doesn't know any gay people, which the doctor tells him is because he knows few people in general, he begins to suspect that the doctor himself is gay and books another appointment so that he can "[[AccidentalInnuendo feel comfortable with the doctor]]".
