{{quote|''"And yes, this ''is'' the story in which Romana is tied up by a leather-clad dominatrix."''|[http://www.nyder.com/stuff/whosqueer.html The Evolving Guide to Lesbian/Gay/Bisexual Moments in] ''[[Doctor Who]]''}}

 

'''Juliet:''' No...are you?|''[[Lost]]''}}

 

 

* Tracy and Kenneth on ''[[30 Rock|Thirty Rock]]'' have their moments.

'''Kenneth:''' Yes! Yes! 1,000 times yes! }}

** Jack to Kenneth in season one: "I'm gonna be your bottom, Kenneth. I want you to ride me as hard as you can." I'd share the context, but what's the fun in that? Oh, and Jack's assistant Jonathan totally has a crush on him. That one may or may not be actual text...

** In one episode Jack keeps talking about his attempts to get a promotion in ways that accidentally sound homoerotic "Tomorrow I'm going to be in a foursome with three other men and I'm going to give Geiss all of my attention!" (He was talking about a ''golf'' foursome, sure...)

** And some [[Les Yay]] between [[Salma Hayek|Elisa]] and Liz.

'''Liz''': Kinda. }}

** In the most recent season finale, Jenna automatically assumes she and Liz will hook up when she suggests giving up on men.

*** Liz let Tracy produce a porno based on her life after using his behavior for book material without telling him. When the characters based on Liz and Jenna start making out, Liz is quick to leave, but Jenna... lingers. That same episode has plenty of [[Ho Yay]] / [[Foe Yay]] between Jack and Devon:

Jack: (ditto) No one is, it's just happening. }}

** Upon seeing Liz in her new pair of jeans, Jenna remarks, "I'd hit that," as well as saying "I'd [[Experimented in College|experiment]] with that girl" after seeing a picture of a college-aged Liz.

* The 1980s TV version of ''[[Anne of Green Gables]]'' makes the les yay elements of Anne Shirley and Diana Barry's relationship a bit more obvious.

* Asylum, a show made by a lot of the same people who made ''Spaced'' features a character who would later be the inspiration for [[Mad Artist|Brian]], (played by [[The Mighty Boosh|Julian Barrett.]]) who shares a strange attraction with one of his fellow patients.

 

* In the later seasons of ''[[The A-Team]]'', there was quite a bit of Face/Murdock [[Ho Yay]]. For instance, in the Season 4 episode "Wheel of Fortune," Murdock wins a trip to Hawaii as a contestant on ''The Wheel of Fortune'' and then Face and Murdock high-five each other, hug, and hop around like a couple of [[Fan Boy|Fan Boys]] who found out that they're going to meet either [[George Lucas]] or [[David Tennant]]. Then Murdock says he wants to take a girl to Hawaii, but Face basically tells him that they have to go together. Then, when Murdock disappears on the day they're supposed to leave, Face gets all worried and says, "He left without me!" When Face gets captured by the bad guys later on, he tells them that he should be in Hawaii "sucking on a mai-tai." Oh yeah, Face, we definitely know what you mean.

** There's this gem from an episode in season one, where the Team rescues a reluctant Texas bride:

** In the third-season episode "Timber", they share a room. With one bed. And it seems that Face is naked under the covers.

** More like the whole series. Hell, the ''second episode'' has Face declaring that he loves Murdock, even if the pilot is as crazy as a Mexican rabbit. Murdock returns the sentiment with an "I love you, baby" in the penultimate episode of season three.

** In one episode Hal and Tom pose as adoptive parents to explain the absence of a mother for baby Eve, leading to squeetastic moments like [http://29.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m00radSG3x1qzz2h3o1_500.png this].

** They go on a double date and while walking behind them one girl remarks on how close Hal and Tom are

* ''[[Better Off Ted]]'''s Phil and Lem. At one point, they wind up sharing a hazmat suit.

* ''[[The Big Bang Theory]]'': Wolowitz and Koothrappali.

** Even Leonard's ''mother'' noticed.

** "The night the heat went out..." "It was a bonding experience!"

** And then, [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KBMw7wCIBko this happened]. Granted, it is more or less accidental, but there nonetheless. Can you hear the squees of a thousands of [[Yaoi Fangirl|Yaoi Fangirls]]?

** It's also a [[Freud Was Right|little suggestive]] that Leonard's mother ''is'' a less neurotic female Sheldon. Especially considering that there's quite a bit of discussion about the psychological complexes her unaffectionate parenting style gave Leonard.

** As of season four, Howard and Raj have now kissed on the lips. Then we get this [[Innocent Innuendo]] from Leonard the next day:

* If you can find a single episode of ''[[Big Wolf on Campus]]'' without at ''least'' one [[Ho Yay]] moment between Tommy and Merton, you

* The ''[[Blackadder]]'' series has plenty of Ho Yay moments, usually involving one of Tim McInnerny's characters or someone in drag.

*** At least, that was Denny's ''excuse'' for proposing. He ''also'' cited {{spoiler|spousal privileges, like medical, next of kin, etc. And then blatantly admitted, "...you're the man I love." And let's not forget their '''wedding dance''', on their balcony, to Louis Armstrong's "Fantastic, That's You."}} In short, Denny and Alan are dripping with more [[Ho Yay]] than every other example on this page. Combined. They're dripping with so much [[Ho Yay]] nobody mentions it because doing so would be tantamount to pointing at water and saying, "That's wet."

** Let's not forget back in Season 2, when Alan helped Denny practice his Mambo (''not'' innuendo, amazingly). Also [[Crowning Moment of Funny]].

* Cory and Shawn from ''[[Boy Meets World]]'' did a non-stop torrent of jokes about this in later seasons. There was a break-up episode which revolved around this premise, Cory's fiancee admitted that she knew Cory loved Shawn more than her, Cory wished Shawn was there the night he lost his virginity ... it would be too much to list it all here.

** And Jack and Eric:

* ''[[Breaking Bad]]'' has some between various characters. Gale definitely seemed to have something of an admiring crush on Walt, and it's not like Walt wasn't overjoyed to be working with him. Walt and Jesse have their fair share as well, although [[Your Mileage May Vary]] on whether this counts as [[No Yay]] or not. They fight a lot, sure, but that doesn't change the fact that by the end of the first episode, they've both seen each other in their underwear.

* Charles and Sebastian in ''[[Brideshead Revisited]]''. Charles' first descriptions of Sebastian are close to how would describe their first love, they're very familiar with each other, and while Charles does have later relationships with females, Sebastian seems to prefer men. For one reason or another (maybe the impact of visual vs. writing) they seem much more overt in the mini-series than in the book.

*** The [[Ho Yay]] is strong in "Breach of Faith", where Michael risks ''prison time'' to stay with Sam in a hostage scenario they accidentally walked into: "I leave when you leave, Sam".

*** And again in "Hard Time", where Michael ''actually goes to prison'' for Sam.

'''Jesse''': (watching them having a nonverbal exchange of "seriously?" "seriously") [[Lampshade Hanging|Uh, I hate to break up this beautiful moment you guys are having . . .]] }}

** Seymour clearly has a massive (and massively one-sided) man-crush on Michael.

** Even less expected than Gilroy hitting on Michael was that ''Michael seemed to be flirting back.''

* ''[[Castle]]'' [[Those Two Guys|Ryan and Esposito]], the supporting detectives, who are seldom seen apart. Barely worth mentioning, except that every other character on the show likes to tease them for being a blatant couple.

'''Castle:''' (To Esposito) "Don't be jealous, he still loves you." }}

** Also...

'''Esposito:''' "Nick's the cute one." }}

** In Season 2, in the episode titled "The Mistress Always Spanks Twice" - the name already saying SO much about the episode, has a moment where Esposita ''rests his chin on Ryan's shoulder'' ... while they are watching a video on Ryan's computer monitor. It's a video of '''bondage and S&M'''. It's so intimate that Ryan even says its a little creepy watching the video together that close.

** Two [[Mr. Fanservice|handsome, athletic men running around in tight jeans]], with a [[Girl of the Week]] attitude towards women as opposed to their [[Heterosexual Life Partners|intimate friendship forged in battle]]...no wonder it's a [[Slash]] favourite.

* In ''CSI'', the original Las Vegas, the character of Hodges shows a great deal of affection and worship toward Grissom, his superior. This demonstration often seems to go beyond just hero worship.

'''Hodges''': Is that a yes? }}

** Greg and Nick have quite a fan following as well. In early seasons, Nick playfully says "Leggo my Greggo," Greg says "I thought we had a relationship" and Nick <s> accidentally</s> replies to Greg's "rock on" hand gesture with the sign language gesture for "I love you".

** "The White House Beer Simulation" sequence had Jon and Wyatt Cenac dancing and groping each other.

** In the old 'Even Stevphen' segments that Steve Carell and Stephen Colbert used to do when both were correspondents on the show, they had a [[Slap Slap Kiss]] variation on this; in one segment, a vicious on-air fight saw Carell suggest that they 'commentate with other people for a while', to which Colbert reacted as if Carell had suggested they get a divorce:

'''Stephen Colbert''': I can ''smell'' him on you. }}

* ''[[Damages]]'': if Patty and Ellen were guys the slash would break the internet. Especially in the third season: "you're trying to seduce me with bourbon", indeed.

* ''[[Dick and Dom]]'' have always been prone to casually hugging. And casually asking each other "How many points shall we give the winner of this, darling?". And casually holding hands as they stroll along a riverbank (to set up the "Duck!" "What?" "No, a duck." joke).

* Sometimes shows up on ''[[Dirty Jobs]]''.

* ''[[Dollhouse]]'': Echo and Sierra.

** Victor and Ballard have their moments, too, though this doubles as [[Foe Yay]]. Ballard seems to have a thing for pushing Victor up against walls...

** Same for Topher and Boyd.

** There's also a brief moment in "Vows" which features Sierra's imprint coming on to Ivy.

** Also in "Vows", Echo and Whiskey pawing all over each other in flashback.

** And in "The Left Hand" there's some vicious implications of Caroline/Bennett.

*** Not to mention "Getting Closer", which features several flashback scenes that show the two were very...[[Schoolgirl Lesbians|close]].

** Mag and Kilo, in "Epitaph 2". Though to be fair, that's canon (Mag is canonically a lesbian and that look they gave each other at the end...)

'''Zone:''' She's a tech head Mag. '''Beat''' [[Crowning Moment of Funny|She's a girl Mag.]] }}

* ''[[Don't Trust the B In Apartment 23]]'' has some between Chloë, the eponymous bitch, and June, her roommate. In the third episode, Chloë takes in a foster child, having told Children's Protective Services that she and June are cohabiting lesbian lovers, since CPS would not place a foster child with a jobless single woman.

* The titular characters of ''[[Drake and Josh]]'' constantly find excuses to hug each other, had full on the lips kissing, and managed to have an episode where they break up, followed by a tearful public confession about how one needs the other.

** [http://community.livejournal.com/dj_manifesto/3077.html?#cutid1 This list] appears to have all the Josh/Drake [[Ho Yay]] moments.

*** Simon in general feels like a [[Transparent Closet]] most of the time anyways. His reaction to the male whores in "Heart Of Gold", or his vehement denial that he and Kaylee are anything to Mal..Yeah.

** There were vibes of this from River and Kaylee in "Objects In Space", and in the pilot when Kaylee looks over at a sleeping River.

*** River spying on Kaylee and Simon making love in the BDM. She could have just been curious as to what was going on, but...

** Kaylee and Inara have too many moments to count. Even their first on screen interaction was slashy. This Troper cannot be the only one who initially thought they were a couple with their sweet smiles and greeting each other with "Hey you<3".

** And, of course, [[Even the Guys Want Him|"Fruity" Rudy Reyes]].

* The Skipper and his "little buddy" on ''[[Gilligan's Island]]'':

* [[Gilmore Girls]]: In 'Girls in Bikinis and Boys Doing the Twist' Paris and Rory kiss.

* [[Your Mileage May Vary]], but ''[[The Goodies]]'' had a few moments. Not surprising, considering all main characters were male and shared one flat. Special mention goes to any instance of Tim and Bill arguing [[Like an Old Married Couple]]. Even [[Lampshade Hanging|lampshaded]], in "''Superstar''", when Tim and Graeme had dressed up as a [[Camp Gay]] couple in leather and fur and were casually flirting with Bill to make him notice that, in his superstar state, [[Even the Guys Want Him|he got some unwanted attention]]. (Definitely makes [[It Makes Sense in Context|some more sense in context]].) When it worked, this ensued:

** Also, in "''The End''", it's revealed Tim (dead-drunk, but still) has at least three nicknames for Graeme -- "Grayhound", "Graybags", and "Fuzzychops". [[Squee]].

* I can't be the only one who sees epic quantities of Les Yay in ''[[Gossip Girl]]'', especially the first season which has as a major plot the makings-up/breakings-up/betrayals/heart-to-hearts of Serena and Blair. Also Blair's 'training' of Little J, the passive-agressive jealousy between Vanessa and Serena, Serena and Georgina, Serena and Poppy...

*** Chuck and Nate live together as of 3.09, so those sleepovers live on.

*** Then there are comments like these...

** And in a more recent episode, where Blair tricks Chuck into kissing a guy as part of their "game." His response: "You think that's the first time?"

** Nate and Dan. Nuff said.

* Mark Sloan & Derek Shepherd on ''[[Grey's Anatomy]]''.

** Also George O'Malley and Alex Karev.

** Derek and Burke during the latter's surgery, when Derek has to wake him up half-way through and calm him down.

** Mark and Jackson, lampshaded heavily.

* ''[[Have I Got News for You]]'' has had a few things over the years. In one episode, Paul Merton looked up dreamily, and we got a clip of him and Ian Hislop skipping together through a field. Another time he claimed that a paper aeroplane Ian had thrown across the studio contained love letters to him...

** The episode with '''[[Brian Blessed]]'''

* The new ''[[Hawaii Five-O]]'' is rife with [[Ho Yay]] between Danny and Steve. Several characters have asked them how long they've been married. They fight like an old married couple. And then we have this line from Danny to Steve while they're on a case:

** We now have three counts of "babe", two from Danny to Steve and one from Steve to Danny.

** Not to mention the end of the holiday episode.

** Barney has quite a lot of Ho Yay with Ted, particularly in the episode 'Rebound Bro', in which it's treated as though they've broken up as a couple.

*** And the season 6 episode 'Unfinished', in which Barney tries to seduce Ted into taking an architect job at Goliath by using his techniques to pick up women. Which is filled to the brim with [[Ho Yay]] as one might expect, and also leads to this gem (expressed again later in the episode by Lily):

'''Marshall:''' I hope that's his end game— [[Shipper on Deck|actually, I don't. I like you two together!]] }}

* Spencer on ''[[iCarly]]'' has had a dream where he was in a dress dancing with the cute guys (parallel to Carly's dream) and claiming "I think I like it." In another episode, he is putting up personal videos on the internet to get a date. One gets a result to which he responds, "Hey she's kinda cute," only to have Carly say, [[Viewer Gender Confusion|"That's a dude"]].

* ''[[Lost]]'' gives us eight examples: Jack and Sawyer, Jack and Locke, Jack and Sayid, Sawyer and Sayid, Saywer and Jin, Charlie and Hurley, Charlie and Desmond, and Hurley and Sayid.

** And now Season 4 gives us Sawyer and Hurley.

** Season one had more than a little subtext between Locke and Boone. Shannon teased him about it more than once...

** No mention of [[Foe Yay|Locke and Ben]]? Lampshaded in season 5.

'''Ben''': I'm a Pisces. }}

*** This had been apparent as early as season 3, as seen in this bit of [[Harlequin Romance]] prose.

** And the season five finale even gives us hints of Ben/Jacob, [[No Yay|which is disturbing on so many levels]].

** Let's not forget when Kate and Juliet fell in the mud while handcuffed together...

* ''[[Miami Vice]]'' saw Crockett and Tubbs frequently jump between HoYay and [[Heterosexual Life Partners]]. The most flagrant HoYay sequence comes in the episode 'Evan', which involves many references to a gay cop who died several years earlier in the line of duty. Don Johnson's portrayal of Crockett in this episode can easily come across as Crockett being romantically involved with the gay cop before his death, and at several points in the episode, Tubbs seems willing to take comforting Crockett over his loss to a decidedly more physical level.

* ''[[Mike and Molly]]'': Mike and Carl, ''big'' time.

* On an episode of ''[[Mock the Week]]'', Frankie Boyle made note of the fact that he'd discovered slash fiction--of himself and [[Heterosexual Life Partners|fellow "perfect-attendance" comedian Hugh Dennis]]. When Hugh raised his arms as if in victory, Frankie asked him why he was celebrating, as he was the receiver. True to form, Frankie noted that he was most offended by the fact that the writer claimed his pubes were ginger.

* Adrian [[Monk]] and Captain Stottlemeyer: In one episode, Stottlemeyer moves in and the two go through typical "lovers' quarrel" situations while reminiscing about Stottlemeyer helping Monk through his "rough patch" of over three years after Trudy's death, when he was unable so much as to leave home. In the episode when Monk has to fake his own death, Natalie says "He loved you! He really loved you!" as she's flipping out at Stottlemeyer for "killing" him. And Monk all but comes onto him in the episode when he gets drunk.

** What was interesting was that Chapman routinely played the 'straight man' on the Circus. And, routinely, the only straight man.

** Graham did, however--''apparently'' without effort--portray a marvelously bitchy [[Oscar Wilde]].

Cleese, fumbling a bit, as '''Whistler''': Before you arrive is pleasure, and after is a pain in the dong. }}

* Mick and Josef from ''[[Moonlight]]'' are a prime example. Throughout almost every episode, Mick and Josef are ALWAYS in each other’s personal space, being excessively touchy-feely, undressing/molesting/mentally raping each other with their eyes, giving each other sultry looks, licking their lips, and/or arguing [[Like an Old Married Couple]]. Then there's [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dZv1o1Zo9Is this scene.]

** There was even more when [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XO095VSgVMo Mork returned to] ''[[Happy Days]]'' for one episode. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tNYuRJWnZOM And he even kissed Richie.]

** In fact, there is a disturbing amount of Ho Yay between Mork and [[The Schizophrenia Conspiracy|deranged]] [[Talkative Loons|self-proclaimed prophet]] Exidor. Even in the episode where Exidor has a fiancee (and can't tell her he loves her):

'''Exidor''': That's really nice, but what are we going to do about Ambrosia? }}

*** And it becomes extremely [[Squick|Squicky]] after Exidor adopts Mork so he can become an American citizen.

** Gonzo? But what about [[Polyamory|all those]] [[Interspecies Romance|chickens]]?

* Dr. Forrester and TV's Frank of ''[[Mystery Science Theater 3000]]''.

'''TV's Frank''': Count slow. }}

** That's nothing. Crow and Servo once got married.

** Mike would sometimes say some pretty ambiguous stuff, like how he may have had a boyfriend named Steve who died and how he got Grizzled Old Prospectors syndrome from kissing a surly truck driver.

** And if the writers saw [[Ho Yay]] in the movie being riffed, they usually didn't hesitate to lampshade it.

'''Crow:''' Oh, would you just kiss him instead of holding him to death! }}

* ''[[My Two Dads]]'': Michael and Joey.

** In one episode, Ziva told a suspect flirting with her that he wasn't her type. The guy was, for lack of a better word, a smuck and was obviously not someone a straight Ziva would go out with. However, if someone was looking for clues Ziva was gay, that wouldn't be bad evidence if used with subtext.

** There was also some flirting between Abby and Kate in the early episodes.

'''Abby''': You show me yours and I'll show you mine. }}

*** Also in "Doppelganger" when Kate is annoyed that she's been left to handle the phones.

'''Abby''': Which means Girls Night In. Transfer your phones to my lab. (Kate smiles and does so, then the two walk off ''hand in hand'') }}

** There are plenty of Youtube videos that hint at a relationship between Abby and Ziva. Some of the clips in these videos are pretty convincing.

** The writers seem to be playing up the HoYay between Tony and McGee more and more as the seasons progress. Their subplot of 7x19 is basically Tony trying to make Tim jealous by bromancing the Detective of the Week.

*** Also played for laughs in one episode, when Tony and McGee had to guard a dead body outdoors overnight.

** In the episode ''Engaged (part 1)'', we catch a glimpse of Tony's bucket list. Number 12: "Experience a Wonder of the World (besides Gibbs)."

*** Interesting that this is Number 12 on his list, considering Gibbs's Rule 12. Coincidence? Or a very subtle hint at something?

* G Callen and Sam Hanna of [[NCIS: Los Angeles]]. Really, the [[Ho Yay]] subtext has pretty much become text at this point.

'''Callen''': You'd miss me. I complete you. }}

** This immediately after Callen asking Hanna if he had a history with their suspect, and Hanna responding with "We weren't dating, if that's what you're asking."

** Also Shawn and Lassiter. Lassiter certainly slams him against walls a lot, and there's a scene where Shawn ''sits on his lap'' (the most extreme of Shawn's numerous intrusions into Lassiter's personal space). Given that Shawn is also very fond of women, it really makes a great deal of sense to read the character as bisexual.

*** This is practically confirmed in the pilot episode:

'''Shawn''': ''[Confidently]'' Maybe I will. }}

** In one recent episode where {{spoiler|Shawn and Lassie switch partners for half the episode (Shawn teaming up with Juliet and Gus with Lassiter),}} Gus comments to Shawn that he thought of going to the hot dog stand with Lassiter, but then rejected the idea because "it sorta felt like cheating." Of course, this leads to an insight about the case, but it's worth noting that the entire set-up for the episode felt like a really bad four-way break-up and subsequent hook-up.

* ''[[Sherlock]]'': Naturally, with Holmes/Watson being one of the oldest [[Slash Fic|slash]] pairings out there, Sherlock/John is plentiful in the latest [[Sherlock Holmes|Holmes]] adaptation. Seen in their fast friendship, John's constant compliments to Sherlock's deductions, Sherlock's concern for John (despite being a "high-functioning sociopath"), and the constant [[Mistaken for Gay]].

** The series is ''definitely'' aware that no matter what they did, [[Ho Yay]] was going to happen anyway, and so it gave up and enthusiastically milks it for all it's worth, especially the scene with Moriarty:

''[both grin at each other]'' }}

** This troper loves how this little article manages to exist while there is clearly an entire Sherlock-based [[Ho Yay]] page linked above. Also, the main Sherlock Holmes [[Ho Yay]] page (all the way from original canon to most modern adaptation) has only the terse phrase "Has its own page now." under the tab for the BBC show because those discussions got too big. Let's keep this blurb here; it's amusing.

* ''[[Skins]]'': Tony and Sid. Not only are they intensely emotionally involved with each other (to the extent that Sid's crush on Tony's girlfriend can definitely seem like he's in love with her ''and'' Tony as a couple), but they've woken up in bed together more than once. It doesn't hurt that Tony is canonically open to the possibilities of a little walk on the m/m side every now and again.

** Tony kisses Sid once on the lips and once on the forehead, they sleep naked or mostly naked in the same bed, and Tony cries when he's sending Sid off to New York to find Cassie.

** Cook practically makes out with Freddie in Series 3. Heck, they've told each other 'I love you' more times than they've said it to Effy.

** Aren't we forgetting about the infamous {{spoiler|blowjob}} between Tony and Maxxie in Season 1?

*** Also, [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=roT0ZulwtZE this] scene in "Tracker". Poor John.

** What about McKay/Zelenka? Sheppard once told them "Oh, just make out already!", following the immortal line from McKay.

** And how on Earth has Shepard's, unique relationship, such as it is, with the male Wraith he Christened Todd after a guy he knew in college, not on here already.

*** Well, statistically most people do experiment in college.

** The trope is also lampshaded at the beginning of the episode when the two main characters say that they look like they're really "close" and begin to think they may be gay. Probably because they share an apartment, go everywhere together, work together and appear in most pictures together.

* Fez from ''[[That 70s Show|That 70's Show]]'' tends to have feelings for all of his friends. This exchange from when Kelso went to police training takes the cake, though:

'''Fez''': Oh. }}

** With Jackie and Donna:

'''Donna''': I'm gonna go find Eric. }}

** The guys were hoping this was what would happen when Annette spent the night at Donna's place with Donna and Jackie. It didn't.

** From the finale

'''Kelso''': (chuckles) I liked it. }}

* [http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v354/Patsch/TTOI/slstills03.jpg Jamie and Malcolm] of ''[[The Thick of It]]'' and ''[[In the Loop]]''. There, I said it.

** Hell, Malcolm has shoved Ollie up against a bathroom wall and groped him, overrides Steve Fleming by saying "never mind what Mummy says, listen to Daddy" and signs off his phone call to Jamie with "I love you" (in response to Jamie's unnervingly cute "missing you loads!") The man is a ho-yay ''machine''.

* ''[[Tin Man (TV series)|Tin Man]]'' included several conversations between Cain and Glitch that could easily be interpreted as flirtation. (It doesn't help that Alan Cumming is openly bisexual and Neal McDonough played a Star Trek character who was gay in the [[Expanded Universe]].)

** Not to mention the fact that after a brief memory short-circuit, the line that makes Glitch remember Cain is, "Good morning, sweetheart."

** No mention of the scene in the truck? Let's see? they spent the series up until that point in constant bicker, and after it have mellowed out significantly. There's also the fact that Glitch would have had to get Cain out of those sopping wet clothes, and that one of the first aid measures for hypothermia would be bundling up together. Granted, Cain would have been WAY out of it, and Glitch couldn't hold a thought in his zippered head for more than a minute at a stretch, making anything past getting comfortable a tough go.

** It doesn't help that Tetsu seems [[Wholesome Crossdresser|a bit]] ''[[Wholesome Crossdresser|too]]'' [[Wholesome Crossdresser|eager to dress like a woman]] during undercover missions in the show itself, or that almost every [[Rule 34|piece of erotic material]] of Doggie Kruger - ''including the h-[[Doujinshi]]'' - has him playing pretty subby pet puppy to every male on the force.

* [[Top Gear]] likes to lay on the subtext, but this took the cake.

'''May''': Stop saying things like that! }}

* Almost every episode of ''[[Torchwood]]''. Even when it's in the text, there's usually ''another'' one being [[Subtext|subtexted]]. The most likely pairing that isn't in the text is probably Gwen and Tosh.

*** I'm not sure it counts as flirting once it turns into, you know, actual sex. Which it does.

** In season two, Eric and Bill are mistaken for a couple by a shop assistant. There's also this:

*** Sophie Anne is bisexual also, and seems to much prefer the blood of a woman.

** The show is so full of [[Ho Yay]] that it's starting [http://www.trueblood-news.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/FINALPIC1.jpg to spill into real life.]

** Connor also gets a few good lines. At one point he says of Mason, "It's getting harder to pin him down these days." ''Slightly'' less slashy in context... but only just.

** And now there's some Connor/Tony [[Ho Yay]] when the two decide to partner up together.

** And in the same episode we're right back to Connor/Mason Yay when Mason wants to fly Connor out to L.A. for a hockey game since he feels bad about missing the one they were going to attend together (in Chicago, where they both live and work). The whole conversations comes across like a couple who's recently broken up. Mason wants to get back together, but Connor rubs his new BF/partner, Tony, in Mason's face instead.

* Charles Brandon on ''[[The Tudors]]'' is an interesting example. A fun-loving womaniser turned devoted family man, he's canonically heterosexual. However, when Henry exiles him, one of Anne's relatives gives a speech about how Charles is living comfortably but that being out of the King's presence is like being without the sun. Charles seems to agree and helps destroy the man who once showed him kindness because Anne's family promised they'd get Henry to invite him back if he did so. After literally begging on his knees and being welcomed back, Charles, then, gets himself temporarily banished, again. He, then, shortly turns on Anne and Cromwell (he was banished the second time for insulting Anne's honour, and Cromwell, at the time, was the one to inform him of the banishment). After that, Charles has shown occasional glimmers of fear that he'll lose Henry's favour, again. Now, granted, it could be that Henry is somewhat mentally unstable‚ and losing favour could mean losing his life, but still, some of Henry and Charles's scenes together come across as the latter having something of a case of [[Mad Love]].

* About a third of the jokes in ''[[Two Broke Girls]]'' riff on the homoeroticism of Max and Caroline's friendship. The other two-thirds are ethnic humor and rich-are-different jokes.

** Caroline asks Max to come out and see something she bought:

 

== U-Z ==

** Logan and Weevil also had a [[Foe Yay]] vibe going on, which wasn't helped by Logan's actor lending some gestures to the character that could be described as "[[Camp Gay|flaming]]".

** Logan and Lamb have their fair share too.

** There's also the rather [[Yandere]]-ish description of the killer's motives in the conclusion of {{spoiler|Dean O'Dell's}} murder.

* Ed and Larry in ''[[The West Wing]]'', who are always seen together at work. Lampshaded in one episode.

** What about Josh and Sam?!

** And somehow the [http://www.collegehumor.com/video:106174 Richard Simmons] episode went unnoticed...

** There was also an episode where Greg was offended by something Drew said, and [[It Makes Sense in Context|when they made up]] with a hug, the audience went "awwww." Then they went from the hug to something a little more provocative. After they went back to their respective chairs, Greg delivered the following line:

** And the Party Quirks where Colin was groping everyone.

*** In the episode "The Night of the Big Blast", Jim even meddles in Artie's relationship with a woman (an old friend of Artie's who seems to be his mental match), going so far as to interrupt Artie's kiss at the end of the episode with a jarring sound meant to imitate an explosion. [[Green-Eyed Monster|Jealousy]], indeed.

* In ''[[The Wire]]'', McNulty and Bunk have a lot of this going on, particularly in this interesting conversation:

'''McNulty:''' It was, man. It fucking was. }}

* In ''[[Wizards of Waverly Place]]'' [[Brother-Sister Incest|Alex usually act very jealous of Justin's girlfriends]] ''except'' Juliet.

'''Alex''': No, that was me. }}

* The episode of ''Would I Lie To You'' in which Rob Brydon appears has him engage in [[Ho Yay]] with both David Mitchell and Robert Webb. He lavishes the pair with compliments, but insists that he personally finds David Mitchell the more attractive of the duo. Not in a gay way, of course.

** The last episode of David Mitchell's The Bubble had Robert Webb as a guest and the show starts off with the two of them going off on a tangent together, while the two female guests coo over how much the two seemed to have missed each other in the three days the guests had been trapped in the bubble. One female guest then spilled the fact that Robert referred to David as "my David". David Mitchell reacts in stunned horror while a very embarrassed Robert protests that they were talking about 2 Davids and was just clarifying which David. Later in the same episode we see the guests trapped in the house together playing jenga, apparently drunk when one female guest, Maranda Hart, tries to psyche Rob out by saying to the camera

** At the end of the episode, David Mitchell reads out headlines and the guests have to buzz in and guess if they are true of false, as the guests have been cut off from the outside world for three days. David reads out this one:

'''David''': It is fake, yes. ''[[[Beat]]]'' Hell of a way to break it. }}

** They ''do'' make a [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_X22Sw2eAwU&feature=related cute couple]

** Xena and Callisto. Although, that was more [[Foe Yay]].

** Gabrielle was canonically lusted after by a Valkyrie in a later season, and it was implied that Najara was in love with Gabrielle as well.

** In "The Play's the Thing", Gabrielle's play convinces two girls to become "thespians".

* ''[[The X-Files]]'' had Mulder/Krycek (in one episode, Krycek even kissed him on the cheek) and Skinner/Doggett (which the [[Television Without Pity]] recapper noticed and commented on a lot).

** Additionally, Reyes seems to be hitting on Scully in the episode Existence...

'''Scully''': And what about what you're feeling? Any vibrations, Agent Reyes? }}
