* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7LQpRQh2KSQ This Quizno's ad] features the distinctly male voice of an oven saying "Put it in me, Scott."
* Kevin Butler in the [[Play Station 3]] commercials seems to have a bit of a thing for Jack Tretton, President of the SCEA. If you look carefully, almost every single commercial has a picture of Jack somewhere in it, he plays [[Modnation Racers]] with him and after losing, comments 'Let's not make it weird Jack.' And then there's the latest commercial, where his return to Sony is opened with him looking longingly at a picture of Jack and saying 'You are the boss of me.'
* [[Orangina]] recently{{when}} released a set of ads [[Parody Commercial|parodying]] different products. One of them was an aftershave, with a puma applying Orangina as an aftershave... which was then closed with an [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3ipQsUlQmXc actual human rubbing the cougar's face in a rather affectionate fashion].{{context}}<!-- How is this an example of Ho Yay? Was the puma the same sex as the human? -->
* [[Popeye|Popeye and Bluto.]] Because of orange juice. [http://www.usatoday.com/money/advertising/2001-05-11-popeye.htm No, seriously.]
* Another HD ad, this time for Verizon FiOS: FiOS guy says he's installed FiOS in the entire apartment, and this ensues:

* ''[[Id (manhua)|Id]]'' with ''any'' guy that thinks he's an attractive female. And then there's his relationship with Grey, who constantly tries to spend the night together, alone with him, and "teach him things." But honestly, nothing says it better than [https://web.archive.org/web/20090415102552/http://www.onemanga.com/Id/59/13/ this page].
* ''[[Ciel: The Last Autumn Story]]'': Between January and Daughter which goes beyond [[Heterosexual Life Partners]].
* ''[[Dear My Girls]]'': A one-sided one with Ravin to Adrian, who is not amused. Granted, Ravin did think that Adrian was a girl when the latter was younger - boys wore dresses when they were that age.
Line 72:
** A twenty-something Marcie [[Lawyer-Friendly Cameo|turns up]] in the [[Walkyverse]], and is openly bisexual, [[Anything That Moves|four women topping her dance card]] for most of ''It's Walky!'' Sadly, [[Wild Mass Guessing|unless she grew up to be]] [[Shorttank|Guns]] (one of the four), Patty is nowhere to be seen.
* In ''[[Beetle Bailey]]'', Beetle and Sarge have their moments, [[Freud Was Right|though this may or may not be intentional.]]
** In a comic, Sarge and Cookie. Some [[media:Beetle Bailey Ho YayBeetleBaileyHoYay.jpg|homoerotic tones into this one strip]]. It ''really'' looks like Sarge... towards Cookie... from behind... and then Cookie's voice "gets sweet"... [[No Yay|AGH]].
** Blatant [[Ho Yay]] is nothing new for this comic, as [[media:omgsuchhoyay_6236.jpg|this 1968 strip]] ably demonstrates.
* Even animals aren't immune. Lots of ''[[Garfield]]'' merchandise featuring [https://web.archive.org/web/20150524154903/http://www.garfieldposters.com/shop/catalog_regular.asp?action=1&catalog_unique=%7B48E16DB5-A2C4-455E-8FD0-DD7376772455%7D&product_unique=%7BCF1E15BC-57EB-4A5F-A84F-74EFE609BDD9%7D him and Odie] [https://web.archive.org/web/20150524154249/http://www.garfieldposters.com/shop/catalog_regular.asp?show=8&page=3&action=1&catalog_unique=%7B48E16DB5-A2C4-455E-8FD0-DD7376772455%7D&product_unique=%7B03EAEDC0-6480-427C-AC61-15B1551200A0%7D seems to be trying to cater to this]. (Why? Either [[Rule of Funny]] or a very [[Squick|squicky]] scenario.)

*** There is a strip where Jon has hung up a mistletoe over his door in order to kiss the first person to ring the bell. Said person is the mailman. Garfield's response<ref>beware, it's translated from Swedish back to English</ref> "You two look really cute together!"
* The relationship between the butch girl-hater Dennis Mitchell and the... quite delicate Joey McDonald in ''[[Dennis the Menace US|Dennis the Menace]]'' has raised some eyebrows.
* ''[[Rex Morgan MD]]''. [http://joshreads.com/?p=529 Just] [http://joshreads.com/?p=1141 Rex] [http://joshreads.com/?p=1144 Morgan] [http://joshreads.com/?p=1262 MD.]{{context}}
* The Finnish newspaper comic ''Nanna'' takes this trope far enough to be somewhere between [[Hide Your Lesbians]] and [[Transparent Closet]]. The main characters, Hanna and Ritu are "roommates" who happen to share a bed (Nanna sleeps in the nude), and share random shows of affection, up and including Ritu sneaking behind Nanna to kiss her ears.
* Considering the fact that ''[[Krazy Kat]]'' never establishes the titular character's gender, it's a distinct possibility that the story's pivotal [[Love Triangle]] is entirely male. [[Queer Romance|Which would make this another trope entirely.]] This strip started ''[[Getting Crap Past the Radar|in 1917]]''.
