* Spongebob and Patrick of ''SpongebobSquarepants'', to the point where the show had a huge GLBT fanbase claiming their relationship was a real homosexual one (and some anti-gay groups, for other reasons). Canon-wise, it reached its apex with an episode where they raised a baby scallop together, acting very much like a married couple (with Spongebob as the housewife and Patrick as the deadbeat dad). At the end, when the scallop flies away to live on its own, Spongebob remarks how that is the hardest part of a parent's life. Patrick responds with a seductive "Yeah''[[GettingCrapPastTheRadar ...let's have another]]''."
* And whenever Patrick has a day off, Spongebob takes out his Ho Yay obsessions on Squidward. "Good night...''my little angel''."
** This example was Spongebob's explanation of his piece in a one-on-one art class taught by Squidward.
--->'''Spongebob''': That's you on the bottom ... You're on top this time!
* A more recent episode (''10,000 Patties Under the Sea'') involving Patrick and Spongebob having to deliver patties to new customers had the two drifting off in a mini-submarine waving farewell to Mr. Krabs and Squidward. Spongebob enthusiastically says goodbye to Squidward seductively while twiddling his fingers [[FlamboyantGay in a feminine manner]]. Patrick points out that "[[BlazingSaddles You said 'Bye Squidward' twice.]]" Spongebob responds "I ''like'' Squidward." in a gleeful way.
* The episodes ''House Fancy'' and ''Boating Buddies'' have ''really'' convinced this troper that Spongebob is seriously gay for Squidward.
** You too? What did it for you? For me, it was the scene in "Boating Buddies" where as Squidward draws out why he's at boating school, there are frequent cuts to Spongebob ''literally fawning over him.''
* For this troper, ''House Fancy'' was an exercise in Squilliam's general gayness. And that's not even counting how slashy he gets with the host of the show.
* I don't even want to guess how far it'll go in the upcoming episode guest-starring JohnnyDepp. From the preview already:
--> '''Patrick:''' I kind of like staring at him... [to Depp's character]
* "That's No Lady". First of all, there's the obvious fact of [[BosomBuddies "Patricia"]] attracting Mr. Krabs and Squidward before [[DroppedABridgetOnHim dropping a Bridget on them]], but there's also the fact that Spongebob apparently has a detailed schedule of daily activities to do with Patrick, including "Stare at Patrick". It's heavily implied (and outright ''stated'' after Patrick dolls himself up and he and Spongebob go walking together) that Patrick is Spongebob's supposed girlfriend. Guess that whole Sandy thing didn't work out.
* "Spy Buddies". When Patrick gets two-way radio pants, Spongebob goes right up to Patrick's butt crack to talk to Mr. Krabs. Then, the radio pants asks for a coin like a pay phone. Then, Spongebob raises a hand with a quarter and he and Patrick smiles. That was when I decided that Spongebob is RuinedForever.
** For those of you who didn't get it, coin slot is a word for butt crack. BrainBleach is available in that vending machine.
* This Troper can't for the life of her believe that the episode where Spongebob and Patrick steal a balloon hasn't been mentioned yet. Spongebob performs rather elaborate fellatio on Patrick's candy bar. Somewhere, Freud is alive and smiling at this.
* Some from Squidward towards rival Squilliam, after telling himself to [[ImagineTheAudienceNaked imagine him in his underwear]]: "Oh no, he's hot!"
* From "Plankton's Army", paraphrased:
-->'''Computer Wife''': Henchmen. You know, big strong muscular men who do whatever you say.
-->'''Plankton''': I like the sound of that.
