Small but noteworthy contingencies of fans ship Bob and Carol, Bob and Steve, or Alice and Tom, but in general, the fandom is in consensus that Bob/Alice and Steve/Carol are the pairings. Occasionally, though, you’ll come across a show where every character is shipped, by a significantly-sized and active fanbase, with just about every other character.

* ''Webcomic/{{Homestuck}}'' has a ''huge'' number of ships, due both to the canon LoveDodecahedron and LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters, 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, the in-universe creatures the 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.

Most TV shows have about four or five popular ships. Bob and Alice are the [[OfficialCouple golden couple]], Steve and Carol are the BetaCouple. Small but noteworthy contingencies of fans ship Bob and Carol, Bob and Steve, or Alice and Tom, but in general, the fandom is in consensus that Bob/Alice and Steve/Carol are the pairings. Occasionally, though, you’ll come across a show where every character is shipped, by a significantly-sized and active fanbase, with just about every other character.
This situation is most common on large-ensemble television shows that don’t have both a clear male and female lead or shows where characters fly through relationships every few episodes. If it is unclear at the beginning of a show which characters will be the OfficialCouple, this can result from WildMassGuessing. If this is the case, even once it does become clear which characters are on their way to being paired off, a significant number of the non-canon ships that emerged maintain a following. It can also result from PairTheSpares when the fandom can't agree on which spares should be paired. Usually, a small handful of these ships will exhibit UnresolvedSexualTension and receive meaningful ShipTease, while the vast majority will simply be ShipsThatPassInTheNight, and the result of viewers wearing ShippingGoggles. In these fandoms, if two characters have been in a scene together, it’s a safe bet that people are shipping them. This often results in some pretty vicious ShipToShipCombat.
Requires the fandom to collectively adopt an EveryoneIsBi mentality. A variation on the LauncherOfAThousandShips where almost every character is the launcher of a thousand ships. Results in HoYay, often FoeYay, and sometimes [[IncestYayShipping Incest Yay]]. Compare DatingDoSiDo, which is kind of like the InUniverse version -- where nearly everyone in the cast dates everyone at one point.
This trope is most common on television, but isn’t unheard of in other types of fiction.

* In the ''Literature/HarryPotter'' series, most of the central characters (Harry, Ron, Hermione, Ginny, Draco, Neville, Luna, etc.) are shipped with ''a lot'' of other characters, including [[FoeYay all of their mortal enemies]], [[TeacherStudentRomance their teachers]], parents of their classmates, [[IncestYayShipping their siblings]], and characters who are only mentioned by name a couple of times within the series. For instance, Hermione is sometimes shipped with Theodore Nott, whose name is mentioned less than twelve times throughout all seven books and Blaise Zabini, who was a minor enough character in the first five books that many readers mistook him for a girl. Additionally, a lot of minor characters, such as Ernie Macmillan and Hannah Abbott, are also shipped together.

* ''Series/{{Doctor Who}}'' and it's spinoffs ''Series/{{Torchwood}}'' and ''Series/TheSarahJaneAdventures'' fuel this:
** 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 year existence. Other companions from different eras [[ShipsThatPassInTheNight are shipped together regardless if they've ever actually met]]. OneShotCharacter{{s}} 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).
** EveryoneIsBi is actually ''canon'' for the cast of ''Series/{{Torchwood}}'' so you have ExtremeOmnisexual Jack's canonical infatuation with the Doctor, weird pseudo {{UST}} with Gwen, and relationship to Ianto to play with, on top of literally any combination of his Torchwood team and well anyone's he or his his team have ever said so much as "hello" to.
** Sarah Jane gets shipped with the Doctor, previous companion Jo Grant, as well several other former companions we never see her interact with on screen, the man she almost married in "The Wedding of Sarah Jane Smith", and an the older version of her young neighbor Maria. Her son, Luke, is another can of worms because he never had an onscreen love interest.
* Discussed in Series/{{Glee}}, to the point that the characters inadvertently give everyone ''more'' ships. Most likely a case of AscendedFanon because Ryan Murphy lurks around the Internet. Not to mention all the {{Crack pairing}}s that end up canon (Santana and Brittany, Kurt and Blaine). Helps that Puck and Santana are [[LauncherOfAThousandShips launchers of thousands of ships]].
-->"look at all the pairings we've had:
-->"[[PortmanteauCoupleName Puckleberry, Tina Cohen-Chang-Chang, Samcedes, Fincel, Pizes, Partie]]"
* 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 [[LesYay Cameron and Thirteen]], two characters whose time on the show barely overlapped and who [[ShipsThatPassInTheNight never spoke directly to each other]].
* On ''Series/{{NCIS}}'', Gibbs, Tony, Ziva, [=McGee=], Kate, Abby, and, to a lesser extent, Jenny, are each shipped with all the others by fans. The Ziva/Kate ship is particularly jarring, considering [[spoiler:Ziva didn't even come on the show until after Kate had died.]] This leaves only Ducky, Palmer, and Vance who aren't commonly shipped with anyone (though you do occasionally see Ducky/Gibbs or Palmer/someone), perhaps because Ducky is about thirty-five years older than almost everyone else, Palmer doesn't have a substantial amount of interaction with anyone other than Ducky, and Vance [[spoiler:was married until very recently.]]
* On ''Series/OnceUponATime'', not only is every character shipped with just about every character they've ever had a scene with, but they are also shipped with characters they've never met, who are currently living in other realms. It doesn't only extend to series regulars either. Recurring characters, such as Mulan and Jefferson, often find themselves wrapped up in a tangled web of shipping as well. The only real exceptions to this are [[HappilyMarried Snow and Charming]], who are generally only shipped with each other, though you do occasionally see Snow being shipped with Ruby or Charming being shipped with Hook.
** As of right now, [[spoiler:Elsa]] has only been in one scene. It was about thirty seconds long, there were no other characters present, and she didn't have any dialogue. So far, she is being shipped with Regina, Ruby, Mulan, Hook, and Emma.
* ''Series/StarTrekVoyager'': Due to the fact that the crew is trapped on the other side of the galaxy with decades between them and home, the various members of the crew of the USS ''Voyager'' get shipped with everybody else on the ship (pun unavoidable). This includes Naomi Wildman, who by rights probably ''[[NoYay shouldn't]]'' be shipped.
[[AC:VideoGames]]
* {{Touhou}}. With one or two exceptions, the extremely large cast is entirely female, and just about everyone has been shipped with someone else. And while none are canon, the fandom has accepted most of them as Fanon, so there's at least one pairing per shipping trope (FoeYay, BodyguardCrush, OneTrueThreesome, MemeticSexGod(dess)...).
[[AC:WebComics]]
* Main/{{Hetalia}} has more than 80 ships with their own wiki page. Out of five characters you can get around 75 ships (with the other four and themselves, with everyone's GenderFlip version and with everyone's Dark version).
[[AC:WesternAnimation]]
* ''AvatarTheLastAirbender'''s fandom has shipped almost every possible combination of characters, up to and including [[UpToEleven everyone with everyone else ''simultaneously''.]]
This situation is most common on large-ensemble television shows that don’t have both a clear male and female lead or shows where characters fly through relationships every few episodes. If it is unclear at the beginning of a show which characters will be the OfficialCouple, this can result from WildMassGuessing. If this is the case, even once it does become clear which characters are on their way to being paired off, a significant number of the non-canon ships that emerged maintain a following. It can also result from PairTheSpares when the fandom can't agree on which spares should be paired. Usually, a small handful of these ships will exhibit UnresolvedSexualTension and receive meaningful ShipTease, while the vast majority will simply be ShipsThatPassInTheNight, and the result of viewers wearing ShippingGoggles. In these fandoms, if two characters have been in a scene together, it’s a safe bet that people are shipping them. This often results in some pretty vicious ShipToShipCombat.
Requires the fandom to collectively adopt an EveryoneIsBi mentality. A variation on the LauncherOfAThousandShips where almost every character is the launcher of a thousand ships. Results in HoYay, often FoeYay, and sometimes [[IncestYayShipping Incest Yay]]. Compare DatingDoSiDo, which is kind of like the InUniverse version -- where nearly everyone in the cast dates everyone at one point.
This trope is most common on television, but isn’t unheard of in other types of fiction.
