* Surprisingly or not, the English animated band [[Gorillaz]] has its own fair share of [[Ho Yay]]. Some examples are here:
** One of the most influential [[Ho Yay]] moments is probably this exchange of lines:
{{quote| '''Murdoc:''' I saved your life, you owe me your soul.<br />
'''2D:''' [[Selective Obliviousness|Awww, I love you, Murdoc!]] }}
** In another interview:
{{quote| '''Murdoc:''' Erm, Russel, if you touch my leg one more time in this interview, I’m calling the cops, OK?}}
** Also the fact that Murdoc has repeatedly implied some homosexual desires.
*** Not the least of these incidents being the "DARE" video.
Line 17:
*** Murdoc recently answering a fan question about if it gets lonely on Plastic Beach with just 2D around had him responding with, "I have measures in place to alleviate said loneliness, and I won't go into great detail about that."
*** Also, it could have been [[Accidental Innuendo|entirely accidental]] or [[Getting Crap Past the Radar|not]], but, given the fact that 2D is really tall, Murdoc made a comment that was quite suggestive:
{{quote| '''Murdoc:''' I love New York.<br />
'''2D:''' Why is 'dat?<br />
'''Murdoc:''' Ermm... I dunno, it's just really tall, I'm in love with tall things, ya know? (stares at 2D, who stares back) }}
*** 2D, who worships Murdoc, didn't make things easier with this line: [https://web.archive.org/web/20141115032858/http://forums.gorillaz.com/viewtopic.php?t=944&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=2280&sid=ed6df8d7e55a83ed2bc0ed1903e4209e "Er... I don't want to scare you Murdoc, but I'm locked in here with you. I do have a key somewhere but I can't find it. I've been watching you... sleeping and......you're quite....beautiful... when you're quiet"]. In ''Rise Of The Ogre'', it's mentioned that 2D has also dedicated a [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cmgCOevt0QY&feature=related song] to Murdoc, which can have multiple interpretations, given the heartbroken voice he uses for the song, quite different than his usual, unemotional voice. Apparently, he probably directed the song at Murdoc to express the bitter feeling he had after all the painful experiences he had to go through because of him, especially since 2D saw Murdoc as someone to look up to, even though the song can be perceived as something else entirely at times. Because of the song, 2D can also be viewed as some sort of [[Love Martyr]], although it's unclear if it's in a platonic way or not.
*** Then there's this chat between 2D and Murdoc from 'Demon Days Live In Manchester', in which 2D asks Murdoc if he can have a catchphrase:
{{quote| '''Murdoc:''' Ugh... I think I'd rather be having some kind of medical operation, than sit here talking to you. Oh, dear god, you really are such an arse.<br />
'''2D:''' [[Comically Missing the Point|What? Does my bum look big in this]]? <br />
'''Murdoc:''' : You can definitely cut that one out for a start! }}
** There's this from the Gorillaz official forums:
{{quote| '''Fan''': Have you picked up a nice boy with a pair of chopsticks yet? <br />
'''Noodle''': That is very funny. Murdoc says that [[Depraved Bisexual|he can pick up boys with chopsticks but he has used his dictaphone]]. I do not understand this. }}
*** Since 2D is actually a young, pretty boy (as Murdoc said he viewed him when he chose 2D as the singer of the band), well, it's unsure if Murdoc [[Subtext|has or hasn't used his dictaphone to pick him up]], too.
{{quote| '''Murdoc:''' When he stood up...''wooow''. What an image. [[Stupid Sexy Flanders|Tall, pretty, blue spiky hair...]]}}
*** ''2D and Murdoc in New York''. As someone put it: 'Why is 2D watching Murdoc having an ''orgasm''?'.
*** And this exchange of lines from 'Radio XFM':
{{quote| '''Murdoc:''' This is tomorrow comes today. Heh, hey! 2D, why don't you come on and join me? It will be fun!<br />
'''2D:''' You sure?<br />
'''Murdoc:'''Yeaaah, come on, mate, I haven't seen you properly for ages. Hop on up.<br />
'''2D:''' You're not gonna hit me, are you?<br />
'''Murdoc:''' Nooo, mate, nooo. Look, you and me need to stick together, remember? You know, [[Subtext|you're thick... I'm hard]], eh? }}
