History HoYay / Smallville

** Apparently the executive position at Luthorcorp has "hoyay" as a requirement. Tess Mercer's first episode involved an exchange with Lois, who was dressed in a French Maid outfit (as a disguise). Upon [[IncrediblyLamePun exposing]] Lois, Tess ''rubbed the front of Lois' frills'' and said "So you like to play dress-up?" Tess and Lana's meeting follows this pattern as well. And then all the young, hot female assistants Tess keeps around...

*** Aaaaand it turns out said clone is actually [[spoiler: ComicBook/{{Superboy}}, aka Conner Kent, the [[HasTwoMommies clone of both Clark and Lex]].]]

* ''Martha'' of all people seems to be struck with LesYay in “Crimson”, upon seeing a Red Kryptonite-affected Lois on her doorstep. Lois asks if Clark is home, and Martha, still staring at Lois, is silent for a ''good'' five seconds before she snaps out of it, answers yes, and lets Lois in.

-->'''A.C:''' ''(Smiles to Cyborg)'' You're lucky I still have my pants on.

* Clark and Zod has quite a bit in ''Upgrade'', with Zod's talk of no one else being their equal. Tess lampshaded it when Chloe finds them alone on the top of a skyscraper.

* Clark and Bart in ''Run''.

** TelevisionWithoutPity did weekly recaps of Smallville, where they would award a weekly "GAYLE", or "Gayest Look of the Episode".
--> Clark is turned around. Lex doesn't need super-vision to get a good look at that ass. Lex continues talking, but he's still staring. Lex squints because really, the pleasure is too much. It is the Gayest Look of the Episode. I think it may be the Gayest Look in all of the cosmos.

*** This editor heard from one of the writers' own lips (World Con 2006) that she'd been involved in the pre-planning for the show. Asked by the producers "Are the gay sex people going to like it?" she replied, "We are ''so'' there."

** This troper can't tell the episode, but there is a scene where Lionel is in talking in a couch with a Intergang boss and... it just gets a "vibe" that they are going to kiss. Of course, it should be noted that Lionel is played by a gay actor.

*** This continues in S9. The description of the scene in Episode 2...[[http://www.televisionwithoutpity.com/show/smallville/metallo_1.php?page=5 see for yourself]]. (She even says she misses the maid's outfit!)

* Clark and Lex in ''{{Smallville}}''. Especially in the earlier seasons.

* A completely unintentional case comes between Chloe and Alicia in "Pariah", where Alicia's sudden appearance to Chloe followed by a lot of grabbing of her and speaking to her in her low, sultry voice can be easily taken out of context when considering Alicia's {{Yandere}} personality and the sheer seduction that she just can't seem to take out of her voice whenever she talks.

** Cassidy once mentioned she wanted her character to kiss Chloe. That's all.

* Tina Greer, who previously wanted to replace Lana, suddenly, upon her return in the next season, just [[PsychoLesbian wants]] Lana. Which leads to a wonderful (or [[{{NightmareFuel/Smallville}} terrifying]]) scene of Chloe hitting (that is putting it mildly) on Lana (because, you know, Tina was a shapeshifter).

* This troper can't believe that nobody has brought up the high levels of Ho Yay between Clark and Bart in "Run."

Which leads to a wonderful (or [[{{NightmareFuel/Smallville}} terrifying]]) scene of Chloe hitting (that is putting it mildly) on Lana (because, you know, Tina was a shapeshifter).

** The HoYay in ''Smallville'' gets kind of funny when you watch the Audio Commentary on the [=DVDs=] and realize that the writers/producers not only know what's going on with the subtext, but actually make it ''intentional''. For example, on the audio commentary of the "Pilot" episode, someone actually says "We just like the idea of them kissing here." when Clark gives Lex CPR, and in "Red," someone else brings the viewer's attention to the... very "''appreciative''" look Lex gives Clark after his wardrobe change. Three out of four times, in the audio commentary someone will mention the HoYay of Smallville, proving that it's not all in the head of hyperactive fangirls.
