* ''WesternAnimation/{{Amphibia}}'': [[Characters/AmphibiaAnneBoonchuy Anne Boonchuy]], [[Characters/AmphibiaSashaWaybright Sasha Waybright]], and [[Characters/AmphibiaMarcyWu Marcy Wu]] are a variation. Although they are like this before the events of the show, once they were transported to the titular world, their friendship started to wane. The series is partly about them rekindling their friendship, and by the end of the series, their friendship has become even stronger than ever.

* ''WesternAnimation/{{Kaeloo}}'': Stumpy and Quack-Quack are inseparably close friends to the point where one episode showed that their friendship could quite literally transcend the boundaries of space and time, and another stated that they regularly hang out for more than twelve hours at a stretch. Stumpy also calls Quack-Quack his "brother" and aspires to be the best man at Quack-Quack's future wedding and be the fun uncle to his kids. In one episode he got jealous of Quack-Quack spending more time with his girlfriend Eugly than with him, but it is repeatedly made clear that Stumpy's feelings for Quack-Quack are only platonic.

Up To Eleven is a defunct trope


*** Lyra and Bon Bon are a funny case. Once crowd-filler characters who stood side by side sometimes, fanon latched onto them and they became the entire fandom's OTP, to the point that more fanfics than not have them HappilyMarried even if they're not the focus. Eventually the writers started playing with it, having them constantly refer to each other as 'best friends' while taking the LesYay UpToEleven. As such, they're the most touchy-feely 'best friends' you ever saw, and when arguing it was played as a marital dispute. Once, in a dream world, they ended up conjoined WesternAnimation/CatDog style. Their reaction? Pure delight and hugging as best they could. Whether or not their LesYay is canon or not is a ''very'' hot topic for debate to this day. However, by the end of the series, they can be seen ''[[MeaningfulBackgroundEvent proposing to each other]]'' in "The Big Mac Question", and an article in a magazine in "The Last Problem" officially announces them as a married lesbian couple.
