* ''[[Xena: Warrior Princess]]'', despite all the [[Ho Yay]] and general gay subtext in the show, Xena features very little of this. One rare and notable example being from the season four epsiode 'The Play's The Thing' was played for, and recieved, big laughs.
{{quote| '''Minya''': Gabrielle, I wanted to thank you! I never would have met Pollina if it wasn't for you! In fact, the two of you made me realize something deep down about myself that I guess I always knew, but just didn't dare admit. Yes. I'm a thespian!<br />
'''Xena''': Oh. Hah. Congratulations. You managed to touch someone.<br />
'''Gabrielle''': That's not exactly what I had in mind. I wanted to change violent people into people of peace, not actors. That is what she said, right? Deep down, she's a thespian? Yeah, um, that's what she said. Yeah.<br />
'''Xena''': Why? What'd you think?<br />
'''Gabrielle''': Thespian. }}
** Xena being kissed by Miss Artephis ( {{spoiler|who was actually a transvestite/man in drag}}) after the latter's victory in the Miss Known World beauty pageant counts as this, but only if you're operating under [[Trans Equals Gay]].
Line 29:
* ''[[Buffy the Vampire Slayer]]'', mostly Andrew. The humour there may have revolved more around the closet he was stuck in than anything else, but only if you're reaching for an excuse.
** The Season 7 episode "Potential" supplied a particularily wonderful example with the introduction of openly gay potential slayer Kennedy, during a conversation with fellow potential, Rona, about using a wooden stake to fight Vampires.
{{quote| '''Rona''': I like the feel of wood in my hand.<br />
'''Kennedy''': Lost me there. }}
* These make up the majority of the jokes between Raj and Howard on ''[[The Big Bang Theory]]'', more specifically the jokes around them acting like a couple. Also notable in that these jokes are also made about two women, Amy and Penny.
Line 70:
* [[Little Kuriboh]] does this frequently in ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh!: The Abridged Series]]'' and ''[[Naruto the Abridged Comedy Fandub Spoof Series Show]]''. While some of them are obviously a [[Take That]] toward the [[Ho Yay]] [[Fan Dumb]] (see the page quote for [[Het Is Ew]] for an example), he often invents homosexual qualities or uses [[Character Exaggeration]] for the sake of comedy. A thing of note, though, is that Little Kuriboh is openly bisexual.
** Lampshaded in ''[[Naruto the Abridged Comedy Fandub Spoof Series Show]]'' with Iruka's ''[[One Piece]]'' Abridged series:
{{quote| '''Hokage:''' What's with all the gay jokes? You homophobic or something?<br />
'''Iruka:''' Geez, Hokage, it's just a ''joke''! }}
* Staple for some writers of ''[[Cracked]]''.
Line 77:
== [[Western Animation]] ==
* The [[Ho Yay]] in ''[[Adventure Time]]'' sometimes comes across as this:
{{quote| '''Finn''': We were just trying to beat the heat, 'cause we've got a lava man in front of our house, and he is ''hot''! <br />
'''Jake''': *nugs him* Woooooo! <br />
'''Finn''': [[That Came Out Wrong|Wait, that's not what I meant]]. I mean 'hot hot', not 'sexy hot'. <br />
'''Jake''': You ''did'' mean 'sexy hot'! }}
