Incest Yay Shipping in Western Animation.
- Lemongrab and his clone, Lemongrab 2, from Adventure Time are one of the most popular ships in the fandom, even after the two actually referred to each other as "brother" in the episode "Another Five Short Graybles". Alternatively, some shippers see this simply as clones and relationship companions, but not necessarily siblings.
- The Amazing World of Gumball has Gumball mostly being shipped with his family, especially his adoptive brother Darwin and his mother Nicole. Although other members of the Watterson family aren't exempt, even Nicole's own parents too. The former is referenced in "The Shippening," in which Sarah draws a genderbent, human Gumball marrying a human Darwin, which comes to life. However, Gumball being paired up with his mother, especially in Rule 34 art is so abundant, it can reach Fan-Preferred Pairing levels.
- American Dad!:
- Steve Smith is often shipped with Francine (his mother) and Hayley (his sister). It doesn't help that he has canonically expressed incestuous attraction to both of them.
- Hayley is sometimes shipped with her father Stan. Similar to Steve, there are some implications that she has incestuous feelings for Stan (she once dated a man who looks and sounds exactly like Stan) and the episode "The Kidney Stays in the Picture" reveals that Stan might not be Hayley's biological father.
- Occurs in some segments of the Animaniacs fandom, though probably more because there aren't very many other shipping options.
- Avatar: The Last Airbender:
- The Azula/Zuko shipper fandom was always significant, but the creators surely aren't making it too difficult with certain scenes. They have even (jokingly?) shipped Zuko's alter ego with Azula at a convention. On the flip side, Azula acts that way toward just about everyone.
- A lot of people give Zuko and his mother Ursa incestuous feelings, especially after The Search, often with the idea that their familial affection doesn't overpower any sexual attraction due to years of separation.
- Cousins Ben and Gwen from Ben 10, thanks to many Aw, Look! They Really Do Love Each Other moments and meeting many of the requirements for Belligerent Sexual Tension. Indeed, the pairing is so popular that it's widely speculated that getting Strangled by the Red String (with Julie and Kevin, respectively) in the first Sequel Series was an attempt at Ship Sinking.
- Brothers Huey and Riley from The Boondocks get shipped a lot. It's probably due to them being the only two young males in the cartoon and due to their constant bickering.
- For Dexter's Laboratory fans, Dexter and his mother are the subject of much Rule 34 art. Same with Dexter and Dee Dee, though it appears less frequently than Dexter and his mother.
- The DuckTales (2017) fandom's ships between Webby and the triplets became a borderline example as of the series finale, where Webby is revealed to be the daughter of their great-uncle Scrooge McDuck and, thus, their first cousin once removed. Their hometown Duckburg is located in the United States, where this relationship is not even considered incestuous in 44 of the 50 states.
- Ed, Edd n Eddy: Oddly enough, Ed and his sister Sarah is a pairing some are fond of. There's also shipping of the Kanker sisters with some being only two of them and others being all three.
- The Fairly OddParents!: Timmy and his mother is a common pairing thanks to episodes like "Miss Dimmsdale" and "Love at First Height". There's also ships of Vicky/Tootie and Nicky with both of them.
- Gravity Falls: The Pines family has not one, but two pairs of rather widely shipped twins.
- "Pinecest" refers to the Dipper/Mabel pairing. Being Polar Opposite Twins, they're a Brother–Sister Team who have a dynamic similar to a Savvy Guy, Energetic Girl romance, and they are The Not-Love Interest for each other (frequently sacrificing for/defending one another); Mabel's Abhorrent Admirer Gideon even sees Dipper as "coming between" him and Mabel's happiness and tries to Murder the Hypotenuse. Their Grunkle Stan also outright claims it's "unnatural" for siblings to get along as well as Dipper and Mabel do. The twins are also Heterosexual Life-Partners and True Companions (to the point where Mabel basically has a mental breakdown in the lead-up to the Series Finale when she learns that her brother is planning on staying in Gravity Falls instead of coming home with her when the summer ends), and they are basically each other's best friends. Dipper and Mabel also share a bedroom and are pretty physically affectionate with one another (i.e., just try to count the number of times Dipper and Mabel either hold hands or pull the other out of the way of danger in only a single episode). Perhaps the clearest example of the unintentional Ship Tease between the Mystery Twins is in the series' penultimate episode, where Dipper's Rousing Speech to Mabel urging her to come with him out of Mabeland and grow up with him sounds pretty similar to a Love Confession of the romantic variety, and for a brief moment the two twins even look like they're about to kiss before they instead perform a "sincere sibling hug" as a Platonic Declaration of Love. They're so established in fandom they have a Recurring Fanon Fan-Created Offspring, a daughter named Cassie (short for Cassiopeia).
- Series creator Alex Hirsch has poked fun at it on the official Gravi-Team Falls Tumblr. His Squicked-out reaction is also pretty understandable considering how Dipper and Mabel are based on him and his own twin sister, Ariel.Alex Hirsch: For ages now I have lurked in anonymity, hiding in the shadows of the internet, watching as you've GIF'ed our jokes and shipped our characters and done unspeakable things to my dear Pines Twins. You... you've got some issues, Tumblr. We're all worried about you.

- Once it was revealed that Grunkle Stan has a twin, they received similar treatment, with their ship name being "Stancest".

- While the Dib/Gaz ship isn't as popular as the Dib/Zim ship in the Invader Zim fandom, it still has quite a bit of fans, with most lewd art of this ship mostly having the two be aged-up and given a heaping dose of Self-Fanservice, especially Gaz, whom is usually portrayed as a busty and curvy Goth Gamer Chick. It even has a dedicated motor that helps the ship running, for those who do like the pairing.note
- The Legend of Korra:
- There's a Mako/Bolin fandom. Fans shipped them when they were revealed though the revelation that they're brothers caused most shippers to jump ship. Korra is usually in the tangle, but not always.
- Tarrlok and Amon/Noatak became very popular after the season 1 finale, thanks to the buckets and buckets of angst. Who cares if they both died? That's what Fix Fics are for.
- Desna and Eska are a pair of Creepy Twins, so this comes into play naturally (again, Bolin is usually in the tangle, but not always). There's even an in-series joke about how There Is Only One Bed in their hotel suite, though Desna apparently sleeps in the bathtub.
- Tenzin's daughter, Jinora, is the center of multiple fan pairings: including with all members of her own family: her kid sister (Ikki), their kid brother (Meelo), her parents (Pema and Tenzin), and even the 14 year old version of her grandmother, Katara. Most often seen in H-art.
- The Loud House: Taken up to eleven (no pun intended) with Loudcest, which has fans shipping Lincoln with any or all of his ten sisters crazier than the Jaime and Cersei Lannister shipping. Even Lily, a baby, is not safe. Then, there's a canon scene from "Heavy Meddle" where the girls are acting all crazy over Lincoln not having a girlfriend promotes this shipping even more. That's not even going into the ships where the sisters are paired with each other, their genderbent counterparts from the mirror universe seen in "One of the Boys", or Lincoln's own Gender Bender self from that universe, Linka, either. Lincoln and Lynn together is the most popular pair, to the point where it goes head-to-head with Lincoln and his canon love interest Ronnie Anne.
- My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic:
- The first Shipping Chart
◊ shown on the My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic fansite Equestria Daily recorded no less than five fics shipping Applejack with her brother Big Macintosh, and another five with the sister/sister pairing Celestia/Luna (Princest). And those are just the ones that made it past the EQD pre-readers. The fandom has even assigned nicknames to most of the popular (relatively speaking) incestuous pairings, as can be seen on this (somewhat humorous) chart◊. - Not only were Twilight Sparkle and her brother Shining Armor very close when they were younger, but people have noted that one of the few males who Twilight has ever shown attraction to on screen has the same hair colour and profession as her brother. Shining Armor is also introduced in the episode where he is getting married, and Twilight takes the news... poorly.Twilight Sparkle: Like two peas in a pod, we did everything together.
- Though the exact nature of their relationship was ambiguous for most of the show's run, Spike being revealed as Twilight's adopted brother in latter seasons has turned that pairing into this.
- One Wild Mass Guess was that Applebloom is the daughter of Applejack and Big Macintosh instead of their sister. This was not helped by the packaging of one toy declaring that Applejack lives on Sweet Apple Acres with her husband, Big Macintosh (and her daughters, Apple Bloom and Granny Smith).
- Celestia/Luna, a.k.a. "Princest", is the third most popular ship involving the princessesnote . Granted, they're goddesses—incest is pretty common no matter what pantheon you're looking at. note Occasionally Celestia/Cadence pops up as a Princest ship, though in their case at least they're canonically not blood relatives (Celestia adopted Cadence as her niece).
- The fans wasted no time pairing up Marble Pie with Big Macintosh as soon as she'd had her first speaking (sort of) appearance, despite the fact that they may or may not be cousins, albeit distant ones.note . It even turned up in one of the show's Christmas specials, where Marble stumbles upon Big Mac and Sugar Belle nuzzling affectionately, and immediately cringes and looks heartbroken.
- Everypony is gay for Braeburn according to the fandom, including his cousin Big Macintosh.
- Pinkie is very close to her sister Maud. Shippers haven't missed this. It helps that Opposites Attract.
- Due to her parents being super fans of her, fans have shipped Rainbow Dash with both of them.
- The first Shipping Chart
- Even though they're siblings, Miles and Loretta on Miles from Tomorrowland tend to be shipped a lot in fan art and fan fiction, interpreting their intimate moments as Belligerent Sexual Tension. The fact that they're the only members of the family to be on Mission Force One in season 3 adds to this.
- It's been a common joke that the Wonder Twins are incestuous. This was referenced to in one of the The New Adventures of the Wonder Twins shorts by [adult swim], where Marvin mistakes them for watching porn together.
- Phineas and Ferb:
- In the early days, the title characters seemed to be the most popular ship, though that's mostly died down. Pairing one of them with their older sister Candace (biological for Phineas) is rarer but still done. "Gitchee Gitchee Goo means 'I love you'". Riiiiiiiiiiight...
- Suzy's attitude towards her much older brother is absolutely creepy, even for fans of this trope.
- In the early days, the title characters seemed to be the most popular ship, though that's mostly died down. Pairing one of them with their older sister Candace (biological for Phineas) is rarer but still done. "Gitchee Gitchee Goo means 'I love you'"
- The Powerpuff Girls:
- The most popular ship for Blossom, besides her and her Spear Counterpart Brick, is her and Mojo Jojo (which is also Foe Yay Shipping). Mojo was raised by Blossom's father and he was the one who accidentally created the girls, so depending on who you ask Mojo Jojo is either Blossom's older brother or her second father.
- Considering the lack of characters to ship, the titular triplets get shipped in various combinations more than any other Les Yay pairing.
- The Rowdyruff Boys can be seen as related to the Powerpuff Girls. They're Spear Counterparts who were raised by Mojo Jojo, who is more-or-less related to the Powerpuff Girls himself.
- In a rare adoptive family example, Riley and her adoptive mother, Agent K Daring of Disney's The Replacements are often shipped.
- Rick and Morty
- A fair amount of Rick/Morty fanfiction exists for some inexplicable reason. It might be a result of the original video, where "Doc" repeatedly asked "Mharti" to give him a blowjob, or the fact that they showered together in the show. But then again, "Doc" wasn't "Mharti's" grandfather in the original video (as far as we know), and the nudity thing was a result of avoiding nudity-squeamish aliens. Roiland himself has even stated that due to the nature of the series, there may indeed exist a timeline where Rick and Morty are in a loving relationship. The face-huggers that fall in love while possessing Rick and Morty's bodies in "Promortyus" may be the closest thing so far.
- Alongside that, Morty/Summer isn't far behind when it comes to incestuous pairings. Becomes borderline canon in a completely bizarre way as of "Rickdependence Spray", in which they accidentally conceive a son together as a result of Morty's giant rampaging sperm inseminating one of Summer's enlarged eggs.
- In Robotboy, pairing the titular character with Robotgirl is pretty much Brother–Sister Incest, if we take in account the "robots with the same creator = siblings" rule. It's worth noting, though, that Robotgirl is never referred to as "sister", only "friend", and Moshimo intended her to be a "companion" to Robotboy. Maybe the ship exists because Robotboy's previous crush was Mona Lethal...
- In Rugrats and All Grown Up!, some people ship step-siblings Chuckie and Kimi together. On the other hand, Phil and Lil probably have more shippers and they're twins.
- The Simpsons: Considering that part of the show’s premise is about the different dynamics between Bart and Lisa (who are brother and sister), it should be surprising to absolutely nobody that they get shipped together a lot.
- Papa Smurf and Smurfette in The Smurfs (1981), while not biologically related, get constantly shipped together in this fashion. It doesn't really help that Papa Smurf even has that type of interest in Smurfette. This is fortunately averted in Sony Pictures' The Smurfs film series, as Papa Smurf treats Smurfette like a daughter.
- A lot of Sofia the First shipping involves pairing Sofia with either of her step-siblings, Amber or James.
- The Star Wars: The Clone Wars fandom has many minor "Clonecest" ships, or romantic pairings between two or more Clone Troopers, all of whom are clones of the same man, and thus genetically identical twins. The most common ones are Cody/Rex (who already have a close friendship in canon) and Boil/Waxer. It's worth noting that being fully engineered soldiers from birth, none of the Clone Troopers were raised in any way resembling traditional family dynamics and may never have been exposed to them even after deployment into the wider galaxy, and thus it's unlikely that they even see each other the way normal siblings raised together do.
- The Twins from Superjail! have somewhat of a fanbase that interpret them as incestuous, based off their narcissism and closeness to each other. Certain lines (such as their "date" joke from an early episode) fueled the shipping, although the vague porn incident that traumatized them has been used by supporters and detractors of the ship to prove or disprove the dynamic being canon.
- Unsurprisingly, in the Unikitty! fandom, many fans pair up Unikitty with her little brother Puppycorn.
- Most We Bare Bears ships are between the bears, as there aren't many characters in the first place and they (obviously) spend a lot of time together. They seem to be not blood related but are still clearly each other's brothers.
- Yin and Yang from Yin Yang Yo! have a lot of this going on, especially since they're, you know, opposites.
