* ''Franchise/AceAttorney'': '''EVERYONE''' has been shipped with everyone else, and each pairing has a loyal following. It doesn't matter if [[ShipsThatPassInTheNight they've never met]], [[FoeYayShipping they're bitter rivals]], [[HoYay they're the same gender]], they're closely related, [[GhostShipping one of them isn't alive]] (or [[CargoShip one of them isn't alive]]), [[MayDecemberRomance there's a huge age gap between them]], [[SheIsNotMyGirlfriend they've explicitly denied being in a relationship]], [[HeterosexualLifePartners they're clearly just]] [[PlatonicLifePartners best friends]], or [[CrackPairing it doesn't make sense in some other way]], someone has shipped them.
* The fandom of ''VideoGame/CorpseParty'' can get pretty rampant with pairings involving the 9 main characters (from class 2-9), as the fans almost always try not to leave anybody alone except [[TheScrappy Yuka]]; for example, if there's [=SeikoxNaomi=], there must also be [=AyumixYoshiki=], [=YuixTsukasa=], [=MayuxMorishige=], Satoshi with somebody of other school (or with an OC if needed) and Yuka either is usually left alone (a ton of people won't ever pair her with her brother Satoshi, but some do) or shipped with Satsuki, a close friend of hers.

* ''VisualNovel/MonsterProm'' has a fairly large cast, with 10 main characters (Four playable and Six dateable), aside from a considerable amount of support characters [[spoiler:some of which turn out to be SecretCharacter]] and there's not really any limitation of shipping since EveryoneIsBi, and in fact, many couples are teased.
* In the ''Franchise/{{Danganronpa}}'' fandom, the sheer amount of ships is ridiculous, with characters who have never even met being shipped together. Things got even crazier in the ''Ultimate Talent Development Plan'' side mode of ''[[VisualNovel/DanganronpaV3KillingHarmony V3]]'' which allowed nearly every single character in the series to meet for the first time, giving rise to even more ships as well as evidence to ships that had formerly seemed like {{Crack Pairing}}s.
* In ''VideoGame/{{Overwatch}}'', nearly every hero is shipped with at least one other hero, [[CrackPairing many of which are done regardless of whether the characters actually would reasonably have interacted in the story]].

* ''VideoGame/EnsembleStars''. An ensemble cast of 50 main characters, each of whom has unique relationships with at least five other of those characters covering every relationship flavour you could ask for, absolutely chock-loaded with ShipTease HoYay in every possible direction without any chance of any ship ever becoming canon or being sunk? It's almost impossible to find monoshippers here - even the most diehard fans of a particular pairing will admit to some other ships with their faves being great, if only because there are just ''so many''.
* ''VideoGame/PuyoPuyo'' has an especially large cast for a FallingBlocks game series, with a number of pairings (such as Amitie x Sig and Schezo x Witch, to name only a small number) getting significant ShipTease in canon, so it's no wonder that it attracts shippers. In fact, it has enough of a shipping fanbase that most of the theoretical couples that are possible with the series have probably received fanart and fanfiction somewhere or other, including ones like Sig x Serilly that consist of characters who [[ShipsThatPassInTheNight rarely, if ever, interact in canon]].

* "Franchise/SailorMoon" is over thirty years old and has dozens (if not hundreds) of fanarts and fanfics dedicated to basically every conceivable pairing (and more) of the characters. The most popular ships tend to be any of the soldiers with any of the others, but Mamoru, baddies, side characters, etc. all also get their time to shine.

Occasionally, you'll come across a show where every character is shipped--by a significantly sized and active fanbase--with just about every other character. '''That''' is this trope.

* ''Webcomic/HetaliaAxisPowers'': Pick two characters, ''any'' two characters from the comic, and there'll be at least one fanwork of them as a couple somewhere no matter how implausible that pairing seems. The characters all being anthropomorphic personifications of nations who have pretty much all interacted with each other at ''some'' point in their histories means that virtually every pairing can be justified through a historical lens, especially ones involving [[LauncherOfAThousandShips Launchers of a Thousand Ships]] extraordinaries America and England.
* ''[[Anime/LoveLive Love Live! School Idol Project]]'': Each of the nine main characters can be considered a LauncherOfAThousandShips, and while some ships like Nozomi/Eli Nico/Maki or Hanayo/Rin are the most popular, one can find fanwork about any combination between µ's' members , some [[OneTrueThreesome threesomes]], or "one of the girl x everyone", with any of them at the center of the harem. There are also pairings involving other characters like Eli and Honoka's little sisters, or the members of [[TheRival A-Rise]].

* ''Franchise/YuGiOh''. There exists more than one website with the sole purpose of listing the names of ships between even obscure side characters or pairings one would never otherwise imagine. Mostly dedicated to the original series, but also for later spin offs such as ''GX'', or even crossovers between series.

* ''Franchise/StarWars'': This mainly occurs with fans of the [[Film/TheForceAwakens sequel]] [[Film/TheLastJedi trilogy.]] Although some pairings (ie Rey/Kylo and Finn/Poe) are definitely more popular than others, there's support for just about ''every'' combination of characters possible. [[ShipsThatPassInTheNight Yes, even Poe/Hux and Rey/Rose.]] This is undoubtedly the result of the near-constant ShipTease and [[ImpliedLoveInterest ambiguous relationships.]]

** In ''Who'' proper the Doctor is shipped with almost every single one of his companions (most of whom were strictly platonic friends) over the course of the show's 50-odd year existence. Other companions from different eras [[ShipsThatPassInTheNight are shipped together regardless if they've ever actually met]]. [[OneShotCharacter One-Shot Characters]] are all shipped with random companions, the Doctor, and other one-shot characters. The Doctor's daughter/OppositeSexClone Jenny deserves a special mention for being a LauncherOfAThousandShips despite appearing exactly once and having previously met ''none'' of the people she's most commonly shipped with (Jack and Luke-see below-being the most common targets for this).

* ''Series/GossipGirl'' had such a large audience who engaged in rampant ShipToShipCombat around the show's LoveDodecahedron that it was only the direct blood relations who weren't shipped at some point. The show ended with canon relationships and sexual encounters between characters who became step-siblings by parental marriage or adoptions.
* On ''Series/HouseMD'', the only character who weren't shipped with every other character by at least a handful of fans were Foreman, who was really only shipped with Thirteen, and Taub, who wasn't shipped with anyone. One of the more common non-canon pairings was [[HoYay Cameron and Thirteen]], two characters whose time on the show barely overlapped and who [[ShipsThatPassInTheNight never spoke directly to each other]].

* ''Series/{{Yellowjackets}}'': The plane crash survivors are shipped in almost every which way, particularly the titular team, due to the younger cast having chemistry with everyone. The most common combinations are Jackie/Shauna, Taissa/Van, Lottie/Laura Lee, Misty/Natalie and Akilah/Mari, but there are also fans for Natalie/Lottie, Taissa/Shauna, Natalie/Jackie, and Natalie/Travis. Outside of the plane survivors, there are fans who ship the characters with their present day love interests, like Jeff/Shauna and Taissa/Simone, but for the most part, the shipping is mainly focused on the younger cast.

* The fandom of ''VideoGame/CorpseParty'' can get pretty rampant with pairings involving the 9 main characters (from class 2-9) , as the fans almost always try not to leave anybody alone except [[TheScrappy Yuka]]; for example, if there's [=SeikoxNaomi=], there must also be [=AyumixYoshiki=], [=YuixTsukasa=], [=MayuxMorishige=], Satoshi with somebody of other school (or with an OC if needed) and Yuka either is usually left alone (a ton of people won't ever pair her with her brother Satoshi, but some do) or shipped with Satsuki, a close friend of hers.
* ''Franchise/FireEmblem'' has a faction of proud multishippers, some of who wish the games had allowed threesome marriages or every character to support with every character.

* ''Franchise/KingdomHearts'': There are 156 possible pairings between the original members of Organization 13, and each and every one has a group of fans dedicated to it. They are ''just'' sketched out enough to create interesting relationship dynamics, but lack detail so you can plausibly pair anyone with anyone.

* ''VideoGame/TeamFortress2'': While there are fan favorite ships and Valve teases a more-than-friends camaraderie among various classes both in game and in supplemental materials, technically there's only one 100% official pairing (RED Spy/BLU Scout's mother). With 9 classes on each side (and classes can be interpreted as archetypes rather than individual characters), as well as a large supporting cast, the CombinatorialExplosion potential is huge.

* ''Webcomic/{{Homestuck}}'' has a ''huge'' number of ships, due both to the canon LoveDodecahedron and tons of characters, almost all of whom have a large number of associated elements and hobbies that make it easy to find commonalities between them. For a good example, take the Shipping Olympics, a popular fandom challenge where people sign up for their favourite ship and then compete with other ships through creating themed fanart. Most fandoms get less than ten teams to represent the main ships. One year, the ''Homestuck'' Shipping Olympics had ''well over 50 teams'', including an 'other' team who were allowed to write about any ship not already covered by a team. To make things worse (or better, depending on your opinions), this series' version of Trolls canonically have four different kinds of romance, and people commonly like to apply those to their ships, often with very strong opinions about why they ship pairings in one quadrant but not another.

* In the ''Franchise/{{Danganronpa}}'' fandom, the sheer amount of ships is ridiculous, with characters who have never even met being shipped together. Things got even crazier in the ''Ultimate Talent Development Plan'' side mode of ''[[VisualNovel/DanganronpaV3KillingHarmony V3]]'' which allowed nearly every single character in the series to meet for the first time, giving rise to even more ships as well as evidence to ships that had formerly seemed like CrackPairing{{s}}.

* Thanks to the copious amounts of ShipTease, LesYay, and HomoeroticSubtext, the main Gem cast of ''WesternAnimation/StevenUniverse'' have been shipped every which way with each other. If you can think of two characters, chances are there's a sizable chunk of content for their ship.

Requires the fandom to collectively adopt an EveryoneIsBi mentality (or gay, in mono-gender casts). A variation on the LauncherOfAThousandShips where almost ''every'' character is the launcher of a thousand ships. May cause, be caused by--or both--HoYay, often FoeRomanceSubtext, and sometimes {{Incest Yay|Shipping}}. This can also lead to TriangRelations, OneTrueThreesome, and even LoveDodecahedron discussions among the fanbase. Compare DatingDoSiDo, which is the InUniverse version where nearly everyone in the cast ''canonically dates'' everyone at one point.
