Foe Yay/Web Original

Examples of Foe Yay in Web Original include:

Homestar Runner. Of course, the rivalry between Strong Bad and Homestar isn't nearly as bad as most examples; Homestar is far too dumb to realize Strong Bad's annoyed by him, and Strong Bad is more of a Sitcom Arch Nemesis than anything. This doesn't, however, stop this dynamic duo from starring in countless fanfics, a few of which are Foe Yay.
- The series itself made fun of this in the Strong Bad Email "fan club", wherein Strong Sad writes a Strong Bad fanfic that edges into SB/H* Slash Fic territory before it's interrupted.
The Nostalgia Critic and the The Angry Video Game Nerd got shipped in a fan fiction which Bennet the Sage read out loud to everyone.
- The number of AVGN/NC fics in existence is rising, going from the one mentioned above (which is widely considered to be junk or just a Troll!Fic) to all of these: an apocalypse!fic and a sexpollen!fic (both of which contain as many pairings as possible), a genderswap!fic and a "reimagining" of the final battle.
  - That apocalypse!fic also shipped Dr. Insano/Linkara. And now Bennet has read that one too.
  - With such gems such as "You diabolical cream puff!" the prolific use of the phrase 'Nerd-On-Critic Action' to refer to their epic fight, and the fact that for their retrospect video they use the song 'Ghost Love Score,' it's kinda hard NOT to ship them just a little bit. We fangirls have built pairings on MUCH less.
  - James Rolfe is kinda horrified by it. When asked at a convention what he felt when he first discovered it existed, his face spelled pure terror, referring to it as "the creepy art?"
  - On the other hand, Doug Walker found the art hilarious when Benzaie quizzed him about it. And as he's the one who coined the phrase "Nerd-On-Critic action" (along with lampshading it with Chester's review) and scored the retrospective to "Ghost Love Score", it's safe to say that he knew what he was doing.
- The feud between Benzaie and That Dude in the Suede ended in a love confession (it was brought again on Ben's A Frog In Chicago Again V Log). No, that's not fanfiction.
- Ever since she bashed three of his movies in a row, there are people who ship The Nostalgia Chick with Michael Bay. Yes, really.
  - Nostalgia Chick/Nostalgia Critic should count, too.
- This trope, coupled with The Chew Toy and possibly Jerkass Woobie, is the main reason why the Critic is a such a Launcher of a Thousand Ships. He fights with everyone, therefore he gets paired with everyone.
Gaia Online: The Sentinel and the Overseer have their respective superweapons, a portal and a trident...
- Plus, they were childhood friends! Adorable childhood friends! And the Overseer's description of the Sentinel did cause Liam to comment "Hot"... and the Overseer didn't disagree.
- Somebody's forgetting Halloween 2007 and all the vampires invading Gino's personal space.

Liam: (regarding Vladimir Von Helson) Dude, he's totally into you.

Thanks to some demented fangirl on /y/, everyone/Yahtzee is now considered canon. Yes, in that exact order.
Most of the Ho Yay on Red vs. Blue happens between teammates. However, with half the cast tasked to try and kill the other half, this trope does crop up now and then, particularly between Caboose and Donut.
This trope is the entire point of Waiting for A Miracle.
The Joker Blogs: Much like in the film that inspired it, The Joker makes some stunningly suggestive remarks to Batman. "We belong together. There's a wedding ceremony upstairs, just waiting for us to make it official ..."
Throughout Cracked.com‍'‍s 5 Writing Tips for the People Who Send Me Death Threats, writing a death threat is treated the same as writing a love letter.
Lenore the Cute Little Dead Girl: Lenore and Mr. Gosh, though Lenore considers him a nuisance, and kills him alot. She does fall for him, once though.
In Greek Ninja, the arch enemy Creon hits on Sasha and keeps making remarks about her looks, however she repells his advances.
