6	->''"You love me. You love me the way men can love each other and still have wives and children and connecting pools."''
7	-->-- '''Burton Guster''' to his best friend, '''Shawn Spencer''', ''Series/{{Psych}}''
8
9	[[OlderThanDirt A trope old as time itself]]. Two [[BestFriend extremely close friends]] or partners, of the same gender, who are as close or closer than a romantic couple. They aren't romantically linked, but they might suffer withdrawals from not being around each other. There might be much drama over a potential "break-up". When one gets a romantic partner, you can almost certainly expect the FriendVersusLover quarrel to be epic. Though despite the trope name, it's not necessary [[IncompatibleOrientation that both characters in question be heterosexual]] -- or, hell, that either of them is.
10
11	Sometimes this is an extreme form of an OddCouple, in that the two are different as night and day. ThoseTwoGuys may acquire this label, as may the title characters of ''any'' show with a title of the form ''X and Y''. Don't expect them to be friendly to each other, though; quite a few are VitriolicBestBuds. In adventure stories, they are often SwornBrothers. These pairs usually go through a lot of HoYay situations and can sometimes have the tendency to bicker LikeAnOldMarriedCouple. The pair may be MistakenForGay by those around them.
12
13	Works often lampshade, mock or play with the relationship by throwing in some HomoeroticSubtext, but that's by no means necessary. For fans' delight at such scenes or {{ship tease}}s, see HoYay.
14
15	If the two friends are different genders, they're PlatonicLifePartners, perhaps LikeBrotherAndSister. When an entire group are life partners, they're TrueCompanions. Compare ChastityCouple, whose relationship ''is'' romantic but not sexual.

40	* In ''Animation/HappyHeroes'', Careful S. grows quite fond of Kalo after their fight in the latter's debut episode, and the two become close partners in fighting monsters, though they're never stated to be anything other than straight. It gets to the point where Careful S. is genuinely distressed when [[spoiler:Kalo kills himself to save Planet Xing]] in Season 7.
41	* Fat Doc and Slim Doc from ''Animation/{{Lamput}}'' are very much straight; Slim Doc has a crush on Mrs. Lipstick, and while Fat Doc has actually developed a crush on Slim Doc ''twice'', in both instances it's because he mistook him for a woman. With that said, the docs have a close bond to each other, with the two having known each other since grade school and having worked together to search for and capture Lamput ever since.
42	[[/folder]]
43
44	[[folder:Music]]
45	* The song [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cqz713hhz1Y Oath]] by Music/CherLloyd ft Becky G is a song that's about their bond and happy moments together.
46	* Music/{{The Rolling Stones\|Band}}' "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MKLVmBOOqVU Waiting on a Friend]]", about the decades long bromance between Mick Jagger and Keith Richards.
47	* "Low Bridge, Everybody Down" (now known as "Erie Canal") is a love song (platonic, thank God!) from a man who operates a cargo barge to the mule who pulls it. They've been working together for fifteen years.
48	[[/folder]]
49
50	[[folder:Podcasts]]
51	* In ''Podcast/{{Psycomedia}}'', only one half of the Double Act thinks this is the case. The other is adamant that they're not life partners and that he has a girlfriend.
52	* An interesting example between the two co-hosts of ''Podcast/KingFallsAM'' as Ben Arnold is in love with librarian, Emily Potter, and Sammy Stevens [[spoiler: is gay]]. Ben and Sammy's relationship develops very quickly and it isn't long before there are multiple, on-air, explicit declarations of love for each other.
53	[[/folder]]
54
55	[[folder:Puppet Shows]]
56	* ''Series/FraggleRock'': Gobo and Wembley are roommates—in fact, when Gobo was away one night, Wembley had a hard time getting to sleep due to his fear of being alone in the dark. Wembley greatly admires Gobo and wants to be like him. He loves to go with Gobo on exploring trips and hear postcards from Gobo's Uncle Matt about his adventures in Outer Space (the human world).
57	** Red and Mokey, who become roommates late in season two, qualify as well.
58	* ''Series/MuppetsTonight'': Pepe the Prawn and Seymour the elephant. They were stage partners and did almost everything together. Though while Pepe went on to star in more muppety stuff, Seymour was put on a bus.
59	%% ** JustForFun/StatlerAndWaldorf.
60	%% ** Gonzo and Rizzo the Rat especially in ''Film/TheMuppetChristmasCarol'' and ''Film/MuppetsFromSpace''.
61	* ''Series/SesameStreet'': Bert and Ernie are friends and roommates, and many a joke has been made about this one. WordOfGod says that Bert & Ernie were originally conceived to be brothers, but the show's creators saw more storyline potential with them as an ''Odd Couple'' pairing.
62	[[/folder]]
63
64	[[folder:Radio]]
65	* Scumspawn and {{Satan}} to some degree in ''Radio/OldHarrysGame''. Scumspawn has strong emotional love for Satan (not necessarily a romantic love) and Satan warms up to Scumspawn over time, mostly due to Scumspawn's unwavering loyalty. In later seasons Scumspawn does talk about each other as though they're in a romantic relationship.
66	-->'''Satan:''' Scumspawn, we are not a gay couple.
67	* Phil Harris and his guitar player Frankie on ''Radio/ThePhilHarrisAliceFayeShow''.
68	* In ''Radio/NewDynamicEnglish'', [[spoiler:Max and Bobby King were like this when they were very little, to the point where they called themselves "brothers"]].
69	* One and Two in ''Radio/TheMenFromTheMinistry'', wile having the occasional arguments, are closest friends each other has and will help each other in any problems they face.
70	[[/folder]]
71
72	[[folder:Roleplay]]
73	* Ivy and Luna from ''Roleplay/DawnOfANewAgeOldportBlues''. They were ChildhoodFriends due to their shared passion for anime and video games, until Luna drifted away from her and towards Nadine's gang. Getting superpowers has pushed them back together, and they've quickly rekindled the bond from their childhood. When asked in a non-canon questionnaire which students should hook up, multiple characters commented that Ivy and Luna would make a cute couple.
74	* ''Roleplay/SurvivalOfTheFittest'': Jacob Charles and Ben Powell, or as their more affectionately known by the handlers, "BROMIES!".
75	* In ''Roleplay/WeAreOurAvatars'', Jacky and Nichole are best friends with each other and they sleep in the same hotel room together. Caim and Hakumen are this ''and'' VitriolicBestBuds.
76	[[/folder]]
77
78	[[folder:Sports]]
79	* What most of his fans don't know about living football legend Lionel Messi is that he and fellow (now former) Argentine international Sergio Agüero were virtually inseparable during the latter's playing days, and still are to some extent today. When settling international fixtures, the two would insist on sharing a hotel room together, while the rest of the team had their own individual rooms. For the 2022 World Cup final, Agüero flew over to Qatar, and was immediately assigned Messi's hotel suite.
80	* In Formula One, there's Max Verstappen and Daniel Ricciardo. Despite the age gap of 8 years, they formed a tight bond when they were teammates at Red Bull. Away from the circuit, they purchased homes in Monaco which are very close together, and still travel to races together despite now driving for separate teams. In interviews, Verstappen always mentions Ricciardo when talking about his life away from F1.
81	** Another example is Yuki Tsunoda and Pierre Gasly. They were teammates at Alpha Tauri until the 2023 season, and would frequently post on social media about them training and going out together. They even got their respective parents together at their home races in Japan and France. Tsunoda reported that he was 'devastated' when Gasly decided to sign with Alpine in 2023, leaving him at Alpha Tauri.
82	[[/folder]]
83
84	[[folder:Tabletop Games]]
85	* ''TabletopGame/{{Warhammer}}'' has Gotrek Gurnisson and Felix Jaeger - originally kept together by a rashly-sworn oath on Felix's part when horribly drunk, but over the many decades of their adventures they have become pretty inseparable. Despite Felix's constant feeling that he'll never understand Gotrek's dwarfish psychology as long as he lives.
86	* ''TabletopGame/Warhammer40000'':
87	** Ursarker E. Creed, the Lord Castellan of Cadia, and his Colour Sergeant Jarran Kell.
88	** In a very strange and horribly twisted way, Warboss Ghazhgkull Mag Uruk Thraka and Commissar Yarrick, though it is only one way; Ghazhkgull regards Yarrick with as much affection and respect as any Ork can muster, especially for a 'puny 'umie', as a good Ork needs a WorthyOpponent. Yarrick, for his part, hates the Warboss with all his being.
89	** Lion El'Jonson and his first mate Luther. Lion failing to recognize how much he needed Luther was the first in a long string of tiny mistakes that ultimately doomed the planet of Caliban.
90	** Literature/CiaphasCain and his aide Ferik Jurgen. Although their relationship is ostensibly a professional one, Jurgen's will to do whatever Cain wants or needs, and Cain's reliance on and defense of Jurgen go well beyond what's normally expected of a commissar and aide. One of the few times Cain seems genuinely and outwardly shaken and disoriented was when he thought Jurgen had been killed in an explosion and cave-in.
91	[[/folder]]
92
93	[[folder:Theatre]]
94	* Mame and Vera in ''Auntie Mame''. The musical version gives them a duet about their relationship, "Bosom Buddies."
95	* ''Theatre/AvenueQ'': Rod and Nicky, who are {{Captain Ersatz}}es of Bert and Ernie respectively. "We live together, as close as people can get / We've been the best of buddies ever since the day we met!" Which segues, just a song later, into "If you were gay / That'd be okay / I mean, 'cause hey / I like you anyway / Because you see / If it were me / I would feel free to say / That I was gay / [[HaveIMentionedIAmHeterosexualToday But I'm not gay.]]" Rod however had [[TransparentCloset non-platonic, repressed feelings for Nicky]].
96	* Elder Price and Elder Cunningham at the end of ''Theatre/TheBookOfMormon''.
97	* Brick and Skipper in the backstory of Creator/TennesseeWilliams' play ''Theatre/CatOnAHotTinRoof'' - that is, if you believe Brick when he vehemently denies they did "sodomy" together:
98	-->'''Brick''': Why can't exceptional friendship, ''real, real, deep, deep friendship!'' between two men be respected as something clean and decent without being thought of as--\
99	'''Big Daddy''': It can, it is, for God's sake.\
100	'''Brick''': -'''''Fairies'''''...
101	* Janet van der Graaf and ''Theatre/TheDrowsyChaperone''. Also, Robert and George
102	* Buddy and Ben in ''Theatre/{{Follies}}''.
103	* ''[[Literature/TheEmigrants Kristina from Duvemåla]]'' has Robert and Arvid.
104	* Enjolras and Grantaire from ''Theatre/LesMiserables''. This is somewhat more evident in the musical than in the book, probably because of how it's usually staged. When all the other students walk off with their girlfriends at the end of "Do You Hear The People Sing", these two leave with their arms around each other. The two were played by real life best friends, Ramin Karimloo and Hadley Fraser, in the 25th Anniversary Concert. Jason Forbach and Joseph Spieldenner, who play Enjolras and Grantaire respectively, in the US 25th Anniversary production are engaged.
105	* Oscar and Felix in ''Theatre/TheOddCouple''.
106	* Max Bialystock and Leo Bloom in ''Film/TheProducers''. "'Til Him" is one of the most touching (and funny) love songs ever sung by one straight man to another.
107	* [[UnreliableNarrator Mark]] [[StepfordSmiler Cohen]] and [[DefrostingIceQueen Roger]] [[IdolSinger Davis]] in ''Theatre/{{Rent}}''. Their duet, "What You Own" comes complete with ManlyTears and a big climatic ManHug. The blink-and-you'll-miss-it instrumental reprise of "I Should Tell You" during their fight in "Goodbye Love" is also heartwarming.
108	* Rosencrantz and Guildenstern in Tom Stoppard's ''Theatre/RosencrantzAndGuildensternAreDead'', expanding on [[Theatre/{{Hamlet}} the original play]].
109	* ''Theatre/AVeryPotterMusical'':
110	** [[spoiler:Voldemort]] and [[spoiler:Quirrell]], ''at least'', by the end. ''Senior Year'' takes it to the next level.
111	** Harry and Ron in both musicals:
112	-->'''Ron''': Favorite way to say "red wines" in a German accent?\
113	'''Both''': Red Vines!\
114	'''Ron''': ''(hugging Harry)'' Oh my god, where have you been all my life?\
115	'''Harry''': In a cupboard under some stairs!
116	* Estragon and Vladimir from ''Theatre/WaitingForGodot''. They have pet names for each other and put off killing themselves because of the slight possibility that one of them would live and be left alone. They were going to hang themselves so they could get ''erections''. There is so much HoYay in this play, [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waiting_for_Godot#Homoerotic_interpretations Wikipedia]] even has it's own entry on it.
117	* Elphaba and G(a)linda from ''Theatre/{{Wicked}}''. Though how heterosexual they are varies, as some performances deliberately play up their relationship as a love story.
118	* Kate and Queenie from ''Literature/TheWildParty'', although [[WithFriendsLikeThese they don't look it]].
119	* In the works of Creator/WilliamShakespeare:
120	** Rosencrantz and Guildenstern in ''Theatre/{{Hamlet}}''. Possibly Hamlet and Horatio.
121	** Antonio and Sebastian in ''Theatre/TwelfthNight''.
122	** Antonio and Bassonio in ''Theatre/TheMerchantOfVenice''.
123	** Rosalind and Celia in ''Theatre/AsYouLikeIt''. Even marriage doesn't likely break it up, since they marry brothers.
124	** Proteus and Valentine from ''Theatre/TwoGentlemenOfVerona'', and (more humorously) their respective servants, Launce and Speed.
125	** Mercutio and Benvolio, and/or Mercutio and Romeo, in ''Theatre/RomeoAndJuliet''.
126	** Lucentio and Tranio from ''Theatre/TheTamingOfTheShrew''. Tranio is "as secret and as dear" to Lucentio "as Anna to the Queen of Carthage was"[[note]]Refers to Queen Dido and her sister from Virgil's ''Literature/{{Aeneid}}''[[/note]], and he'll do anything to help Lucentio.
127	* ''Theatre/AYearWithFrogAndToad'': Frog and Toad were always good friends in the original kids' books, but TheMusical elevates them comfortably to life partners at the very least. They invade each others dreams to sing about how much they like each other. Twice. ("That's funny, you've been in all my dreams too...")
128	* ''Theatre/PerfectPie'': Marie and Patsy's friendship started when they were eight years old, and only got stronger: they were the center of each other's worlds, and would do anything for each other. They loved each other, purely and unconditionally, and big part of the play centers on how that bond still ties them together and finding out that they still love each other after all these years and all that's happened to them.
129	* ''Theatre/SomeLikeItHot'': Jerry and Joe were raised as brothers and are a package deal at the beginning of the show; "You Can't Have Me (If You Don't Have Him)" is a double-act about how close and in tune they are. [[spoiler:Jerry more or less transitions into Daphne by the end of the show, making it closer to PlatonicLifePartners.]]
130	[[/folder]]
131
132	[[folder:Visual Novels]]
133	* ''VisualNovel/KatawaShoujo'' has Hanako and Lilly. Hanako is an extreme [[ShrinkingViolet social recluse]], to the extent that she depends on Lilly just to help her cope at school, while Lilly has taken a role very similar to that of a mother in taking care of her. Their routes in Act 1 don't split until the very end, and each of their routes beyond that still feature the other heavily. In Lilly's route, Hisao comments that they're sort of like an odd family altogether, with him and Lilly as the parents and Hanako as the child.
134	* After a sauna duel, Mondo Oowada [[OddFriendship and]] Kiyotaka Ishimaru gain this kind of relationship in ''VisualNovel/DanganronpaTriggerHappyHavoc''. [[spoiler:Sadly, it doesn't last very long, as Oowada is executed two days later]].
135	* ''VisualNovel/TheFruitOfGrisaia'': Michiru and Sachi are this. They rely on each other with Sachi constantly helping out Michiru with her chroes and Michiru quietly helping out when Sachi is facing a rather difficult request.
136	* Akira and Seiji from ''VisualNovel/SpiritHunterNG'', friends from childhood who've known each other for so long that Seiji can read Akira flawlessly, much to the latter's annoyance. The game makes it clear that it's one of Akira's most important relationships, alongside his {{ship teas\|e}}y one with Kaoru.
137	* In ''VisualNovel/AreaX'', Elcia and Irina have this relationship. [[spoiler:Irina's death has a major effect on Elcia, who is driven to find out the truth behind it.
138	* ''VisualNovel/ALittleLilyPrincess'':
139	** In non-romantic endings, the person whose route was followed remains the most important person in Sara's life.
140	** Mr. Carrisford and his servant Ram Dass are promoted to this, [[HomoeroticSubtext at the very least]]. Ram Dass is made into the reason Mr. Carrisford survived [[spoiler:the very circumstances that killed Sara's father]], is shown to play a major emotional support role towards him, calls him a friend the first time he mentions him and makes a comment about Charan the monkey being like a child to both him and Mr. Carrisford. In one of the game's final scenes, Mr. Carrisford and Ram Dass are revealed as co-conspirators in [[spoiler:making the "magic" happen]] rather than it all being Mr. Carrisford's idea, Ram Dass is shown to be on nickname basis with Mr. Carrisford and both men put a protective hand on Sara's shoulder when Miss Minchin comes to get her.
141	** Mr. Carrisford describes himself as having been "closer than a brother" to [[spoiler:Sara's father]] back in their youth. [[spoiler:Becky's ending throws any ambguity about that particular relationship out the window, as Sara's confession in the finale consist of wanting a relationship just like the one between her father and Mr. Carrisford with Becky]].
142	* ''Franchise/AceAttorney'':
143	** Gumshoe ''thinks'' he has one of these going on with Edgeworth. Sometimes it's truer than others. Edgeworth does seem very fond of him, and has saved him from getting fired on several different occasions. But he's still very frequently annoyed by the bumbling detective.
144	** Adrian Andrews and her boss, Celeste Inpax had a very close friendship with each other before Inpax committed suicide, which sent Adrian into depression. After regaining her happiness from the aftermath of Matt Engarde's trial, Adrian becomes close friends with Franziska Von Karma, even going on holiday vacation with her and learning how to use the whip.
145	[[/folder]]
146
147	[[folder:Web Animation]]
148	* Raimi and Oran of ''WebAnimation/BrokenSaints'', [[CharacterDevelopment although it takes them a while to bond]].
149	* ''WebAnimation/HomestarRunner'''s Strong Mad and The Cheat, and Bubs and Coach Z. Homestar and Pom Pom are supposed to be this, but in later cartoons it became much less apparent.
150	* ''WebAnimation/LoboWebseries'': Lobo and the arms dealer Stumpy are close friends.
151	* ''WebAnimation/MinilifeTV'': Chris and Ian are two best friends that live together, and although there are people who think they're [[MistakenForGay more than just friends]], they both deny it.
152	* ''WebAnimation/TheMostPopularGirlsInSchool'': Rachel and Judith. However, it's been implied that Judith is bisexual...
153	* ''WebAnimation/RatboyGenius'' has the close InterspeciesFriendship of Happyman and Green Monster.
154	* ''WebAnimation/RedVsBlue'': Grif and Simmons (and apparently, their voice actors in real life), and Tucker and Church to a lesser degree.
155	* Dexter Gilligan and Lyle [=McDouchebag=] of ''WebAnimation/SanityNotIncluded''. At least up until the end of Season 3, in which Lyle commits suicide in the animated section of the show, marking his departure.
156	* ''WebAnimation/SteveAndCarlos'' the title character Steve and Carlos seem to be a rather [[VitriolicBestBuds Vitriolic]] version of this. [[spoiler:Especially since Carlos gave up life in the real world to stay with Steve.]]
157	[[/folder]]
158
159	[[folder:Web Original]]
160	* A lot of Agent partnerships go under this heading in ''WebOriginal/ProtectorsOfThePlotContinuum''.
161	[[/folder]]
162
163	[[folder:Web Videos]]
164	* WebVideo/AmazingPhil and WebVideo/{{danisnotonfire}} who've lived together for years, work and frequently travel together. (Although neither of them are heterosexual and Dan's coming out video implied that they were, at least, romantically involved in the past - and any further details regarding their relationship then or now are none of their fans business.)
165	* Cammy and Duncan, a.k.a. ''WebVideo/ACoupleOfCuntsInTheCountryside''.
166	* In [[https://www.youtube.com/user/CHKilroy CHKilroy]] and [[https://www.youtube.com/user/Beagle240290 Beagle's]] series of intertwining ''VideoGame/{{ARMA}} 2'' videos, they grow into firm friends and share for a while, a brotherly bond. The death of one causes the other to exclaim in despair, or even go into a kamikaze rage. In one mission Beagle accidentally [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G5SwAda8kz0&feature=g-high-f proposed marrige to Kilroy]], who said yes.
167	* ''WebVideo/GameGrumps'':
168	** Jon and Arin. These guys go together like salt and pepper, peanut butter and jelly, and any other heavy handed simile you can think of, to the extend that they were so much in synch that they'd end each other's jokes, while still being reasonably different.
169	** After Jon's departure from the channel, Danny Sexbang of Ninja Sex Party fame replaced Jon as the Not-So-Grump of the channel, and while he wasn't initially accepted as the new partner of Arin by the fans, their own chemistry slowly but surely showed a different kind of partnership. The two of them have ended up participating in many projects together since then.
170	* Creator/JamesRolfe (WebVideo/TheAngryVideoGameNerd) and Mike Matei Creator/{{Cinemassacre}} give off this kind of vibe.
171	* Bald John Green and Other John Green on ''[[WebVideo/VlogBrothers John]] [[WebVideo/TheMiracleOfSwindonTown Plays FIFA 11]]'' were thought to be this... until [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1lUUe_txkBU&feature=relmfu episode 21]].
172	* Mark and Corey of ''LetsPlay/ModestlyProphItic'' are this and VitriolicBestBuds at the same time. They have mentioned that they worry they will be mistaken for a real life couple.
173	* Gavin Free and Michael Jones of ''Creator/AchievementHunter''.
174	* Anthony Padilla and Ian Hecox of ''WebVideo/{{Smosh}}''. Lampshaded at the end of the episode ''Replacement Needed''; after splitting up, Anthony tearfully looks over a photograph of him pushing Ian on a swing, with the caption "Always and Forever...But We're Not Gay".
175	* Website/ChannelAwesome:
176	** [[WebVideo/TheSpoonyExperiment Spoony]] and [[WebVideo/AtopTheFourthWall Linkara]] give the distinct impression of being this in the instances where they interact, which are ''much'' more common for the two of them than it is for other Channel Awesome people.
177	** WebVideo/TheNostalgiaChick and Nella; however, "My BFF, Nella" subverts the trope by revealing that their relationship is actually a business venture--the Chick pays Nella to look good and take her abuse.
178	** Even though they're brothers, Doug and Rob. They moved out of their parents' house and started living together, and proposed to their girlfriends on the same day.
179	* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uv7SUncOAAQ nigahiga and Wong Fu Productions explain the word]]. [[HaveIMentionedIAmHeterosexualToday In the most heterosexual way]], [[http://youtu.be/EJVt8kUAm9Q of course!]]
180	* LetsPlay/{{Yogscast}}:
181	** LetsPlay/SimonLane and LetsPlay/LewisBrindley. The two first met in ''VideoGame/WorldOfWarcraft'' and have been almost inseparable ever since, now sharing a main channel and living together at one point.
182	** LetsPlay/{{Sips}} and LetsPlay/{{Sjin}} are almost always cooking up some diabolical scheme together in their collab videos, [[VitriolicBestBuds snarking and abusing one another all the while]]. In spite of their channel growth, the pair still collab whenever they can and clearly have one hell of a time doing it.
183	** LetsPlay/{{Strippin}}, LetsPlay/InTheLittleWood and Sparkles* from Music/{{Area 11}} form this during their time as the "Dream Team", livestreaming together many times and clearly enjoying being with each other. Strippin also has this vibe with Benji, his collab partner from Rail Bros; Benji may not be part of the Yogscast, but they're very good friends.
184	** The Yogscast's newest members, Alex Smith, Ross Hornby, and Chris Trott of LetsPlay/HatFilms are this, at one point living together and producing their content from their house. Almost ''always'' seen together and are the best of friends, [[VitriolicBestBuds when they're not abusing each other,]] [[EspeciallyZoidberg especially Trottimus.]]
185	* Batman and Superman in ''WebVideo/ImAMarvelAndImADC'', when [[spoiler:Luthor's time travel reverts them into their older forms.]]
186	-->'''Batman:''' Best friends!\
187	'''Superman:''' Best friends in a completely platonic way!\
188	'''Batman:''' [[HaveIMentionedIAmHeterosexualToday Best friends possible for two friends to be without going over any boundaries that would be indicative of being more than friends!]]\
189	'''Superman:''' That's right, partner!
190	* Kazamaru and Kebano in ''WebVideo/YuYuHakushoAbridged'', apparently.
191	* Jake Hurwitz and Amir Blumenfeld of Website/CollegeHumor fame, both their fictional counterparts in the web series ''WebVideo/JakeAndAmir'' (in which they play an [[VitriolicBestBuds extremely twisted]] example) and their real-life relationship as comedy partners, hosts of the podcast ''Podcast/IfIWereYou'' and founders of the podcasting network [=HeadGum=].
192	* Connor and Schlatt in ''WebVideo/SMPLive'' may have married for tax benefits, as Connor tells [=AntVenom=] "that's just the reality of marriage" when asked about how Schlatt & Co. handles disagreements given their 50/50 ownership split. He immediately does a VerbalBackspace, but Ant doesn't buy it - and it makes sense why, given their behavior.
193	* ''WebVideo/SBIRust'': Milo and Ty. Though Milo isn't straight, they still fit this trope as they spend most of their time together. The two are factionmates and create a music stage together.
