▲[[Shipping]] where one or both of the partners is an inanimate object -- becoming, in effect, a [[Companion Cube]]. A common type of [[Crack Pairing]] in fandom. To some, this kind of shipping is made of [[Squick]]; to others, it's [[Serious Business]].
Semi-justifiable if the object in question is an [[Empathic Weapon]].
Compare [[Robo Ship]], when part of the pairing is a sentient machine. Also, compare [[Cargo Envy]], where someone else ''wishes'' they were the object in question. See also [[Perverse Sexual Lust]] (which is the real person-to-fictional character version) and [[I Call It "Vera"]].
Not to confuse with [[Cargo Cult]].

** Zoro x His three swords
Line 39 ⟶ 37:

** Chidori x [[
* ''[[Bleach]]'': Aizen x Teacup: [http://browse.deviantart.com/?qh=§ion=&q=aizen++teacup#/d234bcf totally Canon!]
* ''[[Mazinger Z]]'': A mind-screwing example, overlapping with [[Robo Ship]]. Minerva-X was a [[FemBot]] was programmed to be Mazinger-Z's [[Battle Couple]]. So she was in love with it. However, she ALSO was a [[Humongous Mecha]], only unlike Mazinger she was sentient, had her own mind and could feel, think and act on her own. [[Action Girl]] Sayaka declaring only HER [[FemBot]] Aphrodite-A was Mazinger-Z's true [[Battle Couple]] did not help matters...
* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WGMOeg1-pQU A Mouse and a talking cheese in this independent short.]
* There's a very scary amount of ''[[Gundam]]'' fanfiction and art involving [[Humongous Mecha]] humping each
** Far more disturbing than the Gundam-on-Gundam action, however, is the human-on-Gundam. (It exists in ''Wing'' and ''00'' fandoms, at least.)
** Oh, but what takes the cake has to be Graham "[[Fan Nickname|Flag F___er]]" Aker from ''[[Mobile Suit Gundam 00|Gundam 00]]''. The man has to be the [[Launcher of a Thousand Ships|Launcher Of A Thousand]]
** Setsuna is also paired with his Gundam Exia.
* The EVAs in ''[[Neon Genesis Evangelion]]'', too. At least they're {{spoiler|partially organic and intelligent}}.
Line 55 ⟶ 53:
*** Ranka clearly knows what he likes.
** Along a similar vein, the YF-19 could be seen as one of Isamu's distractions from the ''[[Macross Plus]]'' [[Love Triangle]].
* As well as ''[[Zone of the Enders]]'', but when you consider the resident [[Humongous Mecha
** Notable is the fact that the main mechas in the series all have AIs with female personalities, and all three of them become really close to their (male) pilots. The one exception being ''The 2nd Runner'', where the pilot constantly teases the AI about her friendship with the pilot of the ''first'' game.
* There is a particularly pervasive pairing circulating the ''Bee Train'' fan community: [[Madlax]]/curtain. It was spawned by a single scene near the beginning of the series where the titular [[Action Girl]] sneaks into the apartment of her target and wraps herself in a curtain for no apparent reason, looking both adorably cute and damn hawt at the same time.
Line 73 ⟶ 71:
** ... And that doesn't count all the [[A Date with Rosie Palms|"Gary and his hand"]] ships.
** Technically unnamed, but amongst ''[[Pokémon Special]]'' readers you have N X Ferris Wheel.
* Another borderline example: ''[[Fullmetal Alchemist (manga)|Fullmetal Alchemist]]'''s Ed×Al in his suit of armour body, doubling as ''incestuous''
** How about Ed x Automail Arm?
*** That would be [[A Date with Rosie Palms|a date with Metallic Palms]]!
** Also, Winry×Wrench. It's been suggested.
** Al x Mei, which also doubles as a (minor) [[
** Kimblee x Philosopher's Stone deserves mention.
*** [[Mad Bomber|Kimblee x KABLOOEY]]
Line 85 ⟶ 83:
* ''[[Code Geass]]'':
** Nina×Table. Technically not canon, just spawned from a masturbation scene. And within fandom, the table is referred to as "Table-kun" (see [[Memetic Mutation]]).
** The folks at 4chan gave us a Schneizel×Kannon's hat fanfic. And no, [https://web.archive.org/web/20090914234546/http://trainwreck.ggkthx.org/2008/09/22/a-you-are-wonderful/ see for yourself].
** C.C.×Cheese-kun. Doesn't help any that C.C. is one of the resident [[Ms. Fanservice|Ms Fanservices]].
** C.C.
** You could also make a strong case for Lloyd x Lancelot.
* ''[[Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha (anime)|Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha]]'': Bardiche/Raising Heart. It's only fair; everyone else on that show gets shipped with someone. Plus, given that they happen to be intelligent [[Empathic Weapon
* ''[[Dominion Tank Police]]''. Leona×Bonaparte (her ''tank'') is almost canon, what with how much she obsesses over it. We also see her nearly ''humping'' a motorcycle in ''New Dominion Tank Police'' during a flashback showing her as a motorcycle cop prior to joining the tank police. Her partner even lampshades it, and Leona isn't afraid to admit it.
{{quote|'''Leona:''' I can't help it. It's the feeling of cold metal. It makes me all tingly.}}
Line 98 ⟶ 96:
* There's a running gag in the ''[[Katekyo Hitman Reborn]]'' fandom involving Hibari/Namimori. And no, we don't mean the student body, we mean ''the school itself''. Talk about taking school pride a step too far...
** In perhaps an odd case of [[Defeat Means Friendship]], Yamamoto×Wall is rising in popularity.
* ''[[D.Gray-man
** Allen Walker/his [[Empathic Weapon|Innocence.]] Yes, there has been fanfic. There's also some Tyki Mikk/Timcanpy.
** The greatest love between man and sword is between Kanda x Mugen.
* After great deliberation, the non-[[Shipping|Shippers]] of the ''[[Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicle|Tsubasa]]''/''[[
* From ''After War Gundam X'': Tiffa and Double X Gundam in a very brief one-shot.
* ''[[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure]]''

** L×Cake. There is an ''explicit'' picture floating around somewhere.
Line 147 ⟶ 145:
* ''[[K-On!]]''
** Yui×[[I Call It Vera|Gitaah]] (her guitar).
** Completely [[It Makes Sense in Context|out of context]] from the ''[[K-On!]]'' [[Yonkoma]], we get [[media:K-
** Season 2 Episode 6 makes it official.
* ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh (anime)|Yu-Gi-Oh]]''
Line 163 ⟶ 161:
** The next best thing to [[Word of God]], the designer himself said Yukikaze was a series where the eponymous jet was the heroine.
* ''[[Golden Boy]]'' gives us the lovely ''canonical'' relationship between a [[Rich Bitch]] and her motorbike, one that she straddles naked over and masturbates with until Kintaro beats her in a downhill bike race.
* [[Canon
** His [[Super Mode]] makes ''him'' a red sports car. This is best not thought about.
* ''[[Eureka Seven]]'' has the canonical Renton, Eureka, Nirvasch love triangle.
** {{spoiler|1=Debatable, as the Nirvasch, while mecha like in nature, DOES turn out to be a sentient, living being born by the Coral. Note also the many references to LFOs dying in the mine sequence.}}
* Sometimes it seems that Vice-principal Uchiyamada in ''[[Great Teacher Onizuka]]'' loves his car more than he loves his family. The way he gushes over
* ''[[Idolmaster: Xenoglossia]]'' completely runs with it: the only way to pilot the giant robots is to treat them like a boyfriend. Of course, the robots themselves are sentient, so there was one case of a giant robot recording a video of Haruka telling the robot that she wants to "show him everything", and then taking her shirt off.
* Saw a fanfic of [[Naruto|Kyuubi no Kitsune×Hokage Tower]]. And yes, it was indeed as disturbing as it sounds.
Line 177 ⟶ 175:
** Erika x chopsticks x duct tape.
* ''[[Durarara!!]]'': There is growing support among the fandom for Shizuo×"[[Fan Nickname|Vending Machine-chan]]".
** The series also has something of a ''canon''
** I believe Celty/Celty's Bike deserves some special mention as well.
** The author, Narita, has proven to be thoroughly amused by the concept of shipping inanimate objects, given some of the things Erika and Walker say. They once argued over who'd top in a Fans/Trolls ship.
Line 185 ⟶ 183:
* ''[[Speed Grapher]]''. I mean, seriously. It’s not only canon but a major plot point that Saiga has a fetish for his camera. And Ginza has a fetish for her gun. That’s not to mention all of the villains. There’s a woman with a fetish for diamonds, a dentist who just loves teeth, a guy who simply adores tattoos, a guy who loves music, and one who likes food. This is all completely canon.
* In one episode of ''[[Sonic X]]'', while aboard a cruise ship and going insane, Sonic gets Tails worked up about the [[Cool Plane|X-Torando]] being lonely.
* ''[[Saitama Chainsaw Shoujo]]'': [[Yandere
* In ''[[Sora no Manimani]]'', [[Cloudcuckoolander|Cloud Cuckoo Landers]] Kawamura and Minami have a fetish for ''constellations''.
* ''[[Mushishi]]''. In one case a girl gets... rather attached to a particular swamp. In another episode, a woman begins to visit a white bamboo tree when she and her husband are unable to conceive. She even gets ''pregnant'' from said relationship with bamboo tree. The circumstances surrounding both of them are odd, but I believe that it qualifies for this trope.
* And then in ''[[Samurai 7]]'', there's Kikuchiyo and
* ''[[The World God Only Knows]]'' gives us Keima×[[Dating Sim]] heroine Yokkyun and Elsie×fire trucks.
* ''[[Soul Eater]]'' gives us Marie Mjolnir, who sees herself as such a [[Christmas Cake]] she plans to marry a toilet on the grounds that "It will accept anything she gives it". [[Sarcasm Mode|It's a very classy series]].
Line 202 ⟶ 200:
* Considering that most of the ''girls'' in ''[[C³|Cubex Cursedx Curious]]'' are inanimate cursed objects, you do the math...
== Comic Books ==
* There is probably a decent chunk of fanfic dedicated to shipping Sara Pezzini (or another wielder) with the [[Witchblade (Comic Book)|Witchblade]]. Then again, the Witchblade being a pseudo living/sentient object, it might not count.
* Tony Stark/his sentient ''[[Iron Man]]'' armor. Note that this was ''[[Canon]]'', complete with the jealous armor demanding that Tony "get inside me". The armor even gained the fan nickname "Tony's abusive boyfriend".
Line 217 ⟶ 214:
** There is many a fan art of Jason Todd being shipped with bread due to a panel of him robbing a bakery after his [[Unexplained Recovery|resurrection]].
* Canonical in ''[[Comic Book]]/Hellboy'' spin-off ''[[BPRD]]'': Roger the [[Artificial Human|homunculus]] falls in love with (a statue of) the Roman goddess Cloacina after a mission in Venice, and goes to have a picnic lunch and wine "with" her. When he {{spoiler|is destroyed and trapped in a fantasy realm in his own mind, he imagines the statue of Cloacina there with him}}.
* The 1 shot comic involving ''[[Doom]]'' loosely based on an unnamed Marine just killing demons has the marine come across the BFG and literally weep tears of happiness because it's so powerful it moves him.
* As if the relationships in ''[[Krazy Kat]]'' weren't konfusing enough already, there are plenty of hints of Ignatz × Bricks.
== Fan Works ==
* ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh!: The
** "Oh giant rock, sometimes I think you're the only one who understands me". Never mind Kaiba, I think Ishtar is the one who needs to get laid.
** Mako and the Ocean. He later breaks up with the sea for the younger aquarium, which 'has its benefits'. He then reunites with the Ocean with Britney Spears music playing in the background.
Line 244 ⟶ 240:
** Harry Potter x Snitch. My only OTP. Come on, he came with him to the wedding, and he snogs it more than he ever snogged Ginny.
** Lucius Malfoy×The Cane. Yeah, Sneaky is the dominant one. And their love child is [[Final Fantasy VII|Sephiroth]].
*** Brilliantly depicted [http://makani.deviantart.com/art/fanart100-triangle-78381400 here] (Completely Safe for Work).
** And of course, ''[[A Very Potter Musical]]'' gave us the Sorting Hat and the Scarf of Sexual Preference...
Line 260 ⟶ 255:
** Blackfire is actually a female demon bound in the shape of a sword; the Hunter is horrified to discover this.
* In [[THEPETEPETERSONEXPERIENCE]], there is Murray having sex with his van in the fanfiction, "Murry the Robot".
== Films -- Animation ==
* [[Pixar]] loves this trope:
** One of the first Pixar shorts was "Knick Knack", in which a plastic snowman trapped in a snowglobe tries hopelessly to access chicks who live in snowglobes on the shelves near him.
** The [[Toy Story (franchise)|Toy Story]] franchise has quite a few literal [[Toy Ship
** The characters being vehicles in the Pixar movie ''[[Cars]]'', ''every'' possible ship is
** Robot×robot romance is almost the entire point of ''[[WALL-E]]''. (And [[Green Aesop]].)
* "Baby" Brent×Ceremonial Scissors in ''[[Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs]]''. He keeps them tucked in the back of his pants, plays them like an air guitar, clutches them when worried, and they have to be forcibly ripped from his arms for someone else to use them. Clearly it's love.
* Ray, in ''[[The Princess and the Frog]]'', is a firefly who has fallen in love with a literal star.
* The "saber-toothed squirrel" Scrat and his acorn in the ''[[Ice Age]]'' movies. Only subtly implied in the first two movies, but [[
** It's worth noting that the Scrat/Acorn 'ship was a ''seriously'' bad case of [[No Accounting for Taste]]. The Acorn is possibly the [[Mad Love|most abusive]] [[Jerkass]] [[Love Interest]] [[Overly Narrow Superlative|in animated film history]], always dangling just out of Scrat's reach and heaping abuse on him. The [[Tragedy]] here is that {{spoiler|by leaving Scratte he has doomed himself to a lifetime of [[Yank the Dog's Chain|having his chain yanked]] by the Acorn.}}
* Tank and his trophies from ''[[Surf's Up]]''. He's named them all and during the scene his mother calls out: "are you polishing your trophies again?" To the camera he mutters: "I'll polish later."
* ''[[Gnomeo and Juliet]]'' is just what it sounds like: two garden gnomes who are [[Star-Crossed Lovers]]. Another gnome, Gnomeo's pal Benny, later {{spoiler|gets romantically involved with a doll}} and {{spoiler|sets their plastic flamingo friend back up with his ex-flame, another plastic flamingo}}.

Line 282 ⟶ 275:
** Jack's relationship with his hat could also be considered this.
** [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xLhNMyD9TL4&feature=related He also has a jar of dirt...]
** A few fans also see see it between Davy Jones and that [https://web.archive.org/web/20120111071515/http://bri-chan.deviantart.com/art/bucket-love-56259180 bucket] from the third film.
* ''[[Austin Powers]]'': "Mini Me! Stop humping the laser! Alright, why don't you and the frikking laser get a frikking room."
* Not exactly a pairing ''per se'', but there's a fan-made [[Image Macro]] floating around in which a pair of AT-ATs from ''[[Star Wars]]'' were... well, [[Squick|let's not go there]]...
Line 294 ⟶ 287:
* Chuck and Wilson in ''[[Cast Away]]''. Try to watch the scene when {{spoiler|Wilson floats away}} and not tear up a little.
* The movie ''[[Christine]]'', based on the Stephen King novel.
* The car advert in ''Southland Tales'' [https://web.archive.org/web/20131031035132/http://www.agonybooth.com/recaps/Southland_Tales_2006.aspx?Page=5 you know the one].
* The Bear Jew×his bat from ''[[Inglourious Basterds]]'' if some fanfictions are to be believed.
* ''[[Anchorman]]'': "I love lamp..."
** Do you really love the lamp, or are you just saying it because you saw it?
* The drill sergeant in ''[[Full Metal Jacket]]'' tells each of the new recruits to give their rifle a girl's name "because this is the only pussy you will ever get!" Private Pyle, after he goes insane, seems more than a little doting over his rifle (Charlene, if you were wondering).
* Kumar from ''[[Harold
** But it is way easier to ship them with the White Castle hamburgers from their first movie.
* The second chapter of the Hongkong movie ''[[Red Cliff]]'' depicts the historical straw boat ruse, where a fake invasion of battleships covered in straw, with straw effigies representing soldiers to boot, serves to collect incoming arrows. Tactician Zhuge Liang says nothing of these details, or much of anything for that matter, to his assistant ''as they sail into enemy lines on one of the straw boats'' - [[Crowning Moment of Funny|which leads the assistant to start talking to one of the effigies.]]
Line 307 ⟶ 300:
* In ''[[The Red Green Show]] [[The Movie|Movie]]'', ''Duct Tape Forever'', Ranger Gord has spent years living alone in his fire watchtower in the woods and has gone more than a little crazy from loneliness. He owns a tree trunk that looks suspiciously like the torso of a naked woman, and when he and Red joke lightheartedly about all the paperwork down at the county records office Gord suddenly breaks into sobs, lamenting "When I think of all the trees that gave their lives for that paperwork! I dated some of those trees, you know!"
* [[Tim Burton]]'s ''[[Alice in Wonderland (film)|Alice in Wonderland]]'' shows the Cheshire Cat as having some sort of unexplained attraction to the Mad Hatter's hat.
* In ''[[The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen (film)|The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen]]'', Captain Nemo refers to the ''Nautilus'' as his "lady." It's meant
* ''[[Sleeper]]'' - Woody Allen's character gets caught by the authorities after he hides in the Orgasmatron, and emerges a shredded, grinning wreck. When he's assimilated and taken to his new home he sees the machine and starts treating it very...affectionately.
* In ''[[The Smurfs (film)|The Smurfs]]'', Grouchy falls in love with a green M&M plushie in a toy store and even has a romantic get-together with one in the end credits.
Line 313 ⟶ 306:
{{quote|'''Scotty:''' So the ''Enterprise'' has had her maiden voyage, has she? I'd like to get my hands on her "ample nacelles", [[If You Know What I Mean|if you'll pardon the engineering parlance...]]}}
* Jules makes out with a wall-mounted wolf head while playing "Truth or Dare" in ''[[The Cabin in the Woods]]''.
== Literature ==
Line 332 ⟶ 324:
** A more prominent and canon example is Gollum and the Ring? [[Justified Trope|In all fairness]] to Gollum, that ring is pretty seductive and, to say the least, really gets around.
** Or Feanor and his Silmarils? He loves them more than essentially anything else. So does everyone else apparently.
* For ''[[Good Omens]]'', there is [http://lady-of-water.livejournal.com/84166.html?thread=746438#t746438 Crowley's Bentley/Crowley], [http://lady-of-water.livejournal.com/84166.html?thread=703430#t703430 Bentley/Aziraphale's bookshop] and [http://lady-of-water.livejournal.com/84166.html?thread=713926#t713926 Aziraphale/one of Crowley's houseplants] all written in the book's [[Kink Meme]]. There is also some [https://web.archive.org/web/20140226213500/http://lilithnanhart.deviantart.com/art/My-Good-Omens-OTP-124159303 fanart] of the Bentley shamelessly cheating with Aziraphale, much to Crowley's dismay.
* The car in the [[Stephen King]] novel ''Christine'' developes an unhealthy obsession with her owner.
* Leviathan×FUCKUP in the third book of the ''[[Illuminatus]]''-trilogy is a ''canon'' ship.
* ''[[Discworld]]'': Rincewind×potatoes is pretty much canon.
** Drumknott/Filing Cabinet [http://robyn21.deviantart.com/art/Drumknott-Loves-Filing-54349007 exists.]{{Dead link}}
* 100% canon in [[Thomas Pynchon]]'s ''Vineland'': one minor character fucks his car.
* One of the ''[[Bolo]]'' books has Commander Paul Merril fall in love with Nike, a smarter-than-usual prototype Bolo (a gigantic, self-aware supertank). Nike also falls for him and the develop a sweet little relationship as they patrol their forgotten backwater outpost. {{spoiler|At least until they [[Together in Death|both die]] [[Heroic Sacrifice|defending the planet]] from mercenaries.}}
Line 348 ⟶ 340:
* ''Mariel of [[Redwall]]'': Gabool's behaviour towards the stolen bell is decidedly creepy, prior to his devolving into [[No Rest for The Wicked]] mode. "Speak to me, pretty, we must get to know each other ..." He was actually a lot closer to the [[I Have You Now, My Pretty]] routine with the bell than he or any of the other rats ever got with Mariel. (Probably because Mariel was about twelve and the target audience are even younger.)
▲== Live Action TV ==
* [[The Muppets]] Valentine Show reveals that grumpy, unapproachable George the janitor does have something he loves; his mop. Even ''George'' is amazed when he realizes this.
* The Winchesters' [[Cool Car|Impala]] from ''[[Supernatural (TV series)|Supernatural]]'' gets paired with a number of other automobiles, including [[Knight Rider|KITT]], various [[Transformers]], [[Good Omens|Crowley's]] Bentley, and John Winchester's truck, and sometimes is written as a cursed object, or cursed person, who occasionally becomes human. With predictable results.
Line 364 ⟶ 355:
**** The TARDIS is definitely female.
** The sonic screwdriver has been paired with multiple companions and Torchwood women. If it works by sound, it produces vibrations...
** Listen, it is '''''physically impossible''''' for Doctor×sonic screwdriver to not exist somewhere...
*** In the non-canon ''Curse of the Fatal Death'', the female Doctor happily stated, "It's got 3 settings!", one of which is apparently ''vibrate.''
** [http://bloodyyangire.deviantart.com/art/DoctorxFez-169313538?q=1&qo=1 Eleven/Fez].
* ''[[Heroes (TV series)|Heroes]]'':
** Mohinder was once jokingly paired with a smallish ceramic elephant he owns.
Line 389 ⟶ 376:
*** Heck, Ronny×drills is ''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GXeYv7VvbhE canon].'' In general, the way Ronny gets around anything technological is a goldmine for such things. [[Memetic Mutation|Zordgasm]]! (You'd think when {{spoiler|Mack turns out to be a robot}} she'd be all over him...)
*** To a certain extent there's a certain level between every Ranger and their Zord (think back to Kimberly's [[Big No]] when the Thunder Zords were destroyed.) The most obvious was Tommy×Dragonzord.
* Kirk and the ''Enterprise'', in ''[[Star Trek: The
** In another episode, an alien woman comes on board whose tears cause all men (of any race) to fall in love with her on contact. They have no effect on Kirk, because he just loves the ship more.
** In "[[Star Trek/Recap/S1/E04 The Naked Time|The Naked Time]]", he even starts going on about how she won't let him date anyone else.
** Also, there is a novel in the [[Expanded Universe]] where the computer on the ''Enterprise'' falls in love with him, and exhibits all the traits of a [[Clingy Jealous Girl
** For that matter, the novel ''The Wounded Sky'' by [[Diane Duane]] (involving a new experimental FTL drive that turns out to break down the boundaries of reality itself as an unintended side effect) features a short scene/hallucination(?) in which Kirk appears to directly experience what being a starship is like from the ''Enterprise'''s perspective... and that suggests that his feelings may not be unrequited.
** This is the subject of Leslie Fish's [[Filk Song]] "[https://web.archive.org/web/20091026214208/http://www.geocities.com/antitrades/i.html Iron Mistress]".
** Please to be reading [http://community.livejournal.com/st_xi_kink/379.html?thread=194939#t194939 this fic], which is not the only one of its kind out there. Also, be aware the rest of the [[Kink Meme]] is mostly [[NSFW]].
** As of the [[Star Trek (film)|latest movie]], Scotty×''Enterprise'' also has a legitimate claim.
Line 400 ⟶ 387:
*** In ''TOS'', Scotty's relationship was more of a proud parent thing. Naturally, this means if you mess with the ''Enterprise''... [[Papa Wolf|Yeah]].
** [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aLWX3qrtweI#t=02m13s Scotty sure does love his scotch.]
* ''[[Star Trek:
* In the TV series ''[[Eureka]]'', the AI that runs Sheriff Jack Carter's house, S.A.R.A.H., seems to act a lot like a [[Clingy Jealous Girl]] and a [[Incredibly Lame Pun|housewife]] ([[Pungeon Master|pun very much intended]]) toward him.
** Fargo has a tendency to create these. Not only was S.A.R.A.H. his creation, he also created an AI (Tabitha) for his car, which also turned into a [[Clingy Jealous Girl]] when he sold her (the car was an ancient Chrysler); she kidnapped him after making him fall into her trunk. As part of some very blatant but still well-done [[Product Placement]], he settles the dispute by transferring Tabitha to his new Subaru.
* ''[[Life On Mars]]'' has Sam×Mobile Phone and Gene×Cortina. There's one fic in which the Cortina is paired with
* One first-season episode of ''[[Fetch! with Ruff Ruffman]]'' seemed to hint at Ruff×Fetch 3000.
* Along with the above quote, ''[[The Daily Show]]'' last year featured a visual representation mocking Rudy Giuliani's seeming obsession with cramming as many "9/11" references as possible in his political speeches, by having a number 9 and number 11 having sex on a bed, complete with erotic music.

** It may not be a ''physical'' object, but there's definite Stephen/Wørd potential going on. The Wørd acts almost exactly like [[The Honeymooners|Alice Kramden]], after all.
* ''[[Sledge Hammer!]]!'' Fans don't even ''need'' to engage in any Cargo Shipping for this show. Hammer and his gun are clearly the [[Official Couple]]!

** In "Flight of the Phoenix" Chief Tyrol runs his hands along the skin of a Viper during a maintenance inspection, while at the same time having flashbacks of caressing his ex-girlfriend Boomer (who turned out to be a "machine"). It's unknown whether this mental association is the reason the Chief labeled the Viper as "[[Break the Cutie|damaged beyond repair]]".
** Boomer herself is seen stroking a Cylon raider in front of Tyrol in an earlier episode. Which he finds somewhat disturbing, though more because he's worried she's a Cylon too.

* ''[[Top Gear]]'' is the embodiment of this trope. Richard Hammond×Oliver the Opel Kadett is pretty much canon, and Jeremy Clarkson has fallen in love with way too many cool cars to list here, his Ford GT and a Bugatti Veyron being the most obvious examples.
