Line 14:
== A-E ==
* Tracy and Kenneth on ''[[30 Rock|Thirty Rock]]'' have their moments.
{{quote|'''Tracy:''' (gets down on one knee) Kenneth, would you take this ring... and sell it so we can buy a Nintendo Wii?
'''Kenneth:''' Yes! Yes! 1,000 times yes! }}
Line 23:
'''Elisa''': Really?! That's your guess, a man? You want to see me naked?
'''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:
{{quote|Jack: Sure, maybe you’ll ruin my career, maybe you’ll never see my again, but if you had forced me to take government bailout money..you’d be my boss.
Line 31:
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.
* ''[[Ace of Cakes]]'' is brimming with dangerous amounts of Ho Yay between Duff and Geof. Yes, ''Ace of Cakes'' on the Food Network. A good part of the recent eighth season premiere centers around Duff begging Geof to play his guitar at a concert. Geof reluctantly relents and sings a gloriously sappy song he wrote while Duff sits, enraptured, in the audience and actually begins to ''lipsynch the song along with him.''
* ''[[Alias (TV series)|Alias]]'': Weiss and Vaughn shared many Ho Yay moments. These tended to be of the lighthearted variety, such as when Vaughn [[It Makes Sense in Context|offered Weiss a drawer.]]
** There was some pretty palpable same-sex [[Foe Yay]] between Sydney and Anna, and Vaughn and Sark. Sark even managed to get his yay on with [[Lovable Nerd|Marshall]] at one point.
Line 44:
** 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.
* ''[[Being Human (UK)]]'': Mitchell and George in seasons 1-3 and Hal and Tom in 4.
** Both pairs have the whole [[Fur Against Fang]] [[Star-Crossed Lovers]] thing going on.
** Hal and Tom are adorable together. With Hal's former [[Heterosexual Life Partner]] Leo dead, Hal needs someone to keep him in check so he doesn't start, you know, ''eating people'' so he ask Tom to be that person for him. The whole scene reads like he's asking him out. Oh and the episodes title? ''Puppy Love'' - they both get female love interests in that episode, but ''still!''
** 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].
Line 62:
* 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.
** The ''Blackadder II'' episode "Bells" is practically made of Ho Yay thanks to crossdressing. The overall plot involves Lord Blackadder trying to cope with [[Sweet on Polly Oliver|his strange feelings towards his new servant boy]] (who is [[Sweet Polly Oliver|actually a girl]]). In one scene, Percy walks in on Baldrick in his bridesmaid outfit, '''SOMEHOW''' mistakes him for a woman, and asks for a kiss. Baldrick complies. The kiss lasts ''a full seventeen seconds''.
** In "Chains", Prince Ludwig reveals that he's had sex with three other characters, two of whom are men. [[Rule of Three|On all occasions]], he was in disguise (as a waitress with Blackadder, a sheep with Melchett, and stable boy with Queenie).
*** Queenie wasn't actually one of his conquests - she was fondling her ''horse''. (Besides, if ''you'' were [[Psychopathic Manchild|Queenie]], would you be sleeping with someone you know only as "Shorty-Greasy-Spot-Spot"?)
Line 89:
** And Theophilus' report to Colonel Deering following said interview? "You can take my word, he's a ''wonderful'' man. ''Believe'' me." Those were his exact words.
* ''[[Burn Notice]]'': Michael and Victor. Victor refers to Michael's "pretty head" on a couple of occasions. And {{spoiler|they were going to run away to Cuba together.}} Started as [[Foe Yay]].
** Michael and Sam. Sam has broken dates with rich and beautiful women, gotten himself beaten up, sacrificed brilliant cars, and once attempted to get himself killed, all for Michael's sake and with only the barest twinges of regret. While less overtly demonstrative, Michael frequently trusts Sam with his life, going so far as to allow himself to back one of Sam's gambits completely blind and nearly be executed for it, as well as rescuing Sam despite the "trying to get himself killed" incident.
*** Lampshaded by Fiona in 3x04, "Fearless Leader", where Sam's holding Michael's hand because he's giving him a fake tattoo and Fiona walks in, quipping "I leave you boys alone for a minute . . .".
*** The [[Xanatos Speed Chess|reverse-interrogation]] scene in "Question and Answer", where Michael puts his life in Sam's hands, admitting via voiceover that he trusts Sam completely, and that's the only way it can work.
*** 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.
Line 111:
** 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.
** The most recent episode includes Esposito enthusiastically greeting one of his old friends, while Ryan looks on jealously.
** "Knockout". Upon realizing that {{spoiler|Captain Montgomery is the third man in a group of dirty cops}}, Ryan and Esposito have a extremely emotional fight that leads to ''Esposito shoving Ryan up against a wall''. Unf.
** In "A Dance with Death", recently married Ryan basically all but forces Esposito to wear his wedding ring. [[It Makes Sense in Context]]. Kinda.
*** It's worth noting that several completely unfazed detectives pass them by as Ryan waves his ring around and begs Espo to wear it.
Line 127:
* Parodied in ''[[The Comic Strip Presents]]'' "The Bullshitters" (a send up of ''[[The Professionals]]''), when Bonehead and Foyle resolve their burning sexual tension before the final shootout by getting [[Shirtless Scene|shirtless]] and snogging each other while rolling around in a pile of gravel.
** 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.
{{quote|'''Hodges''': So, I scored two tickets to this Alec Knight lecture. He's of course you know, challenging that the Russian claim that the Romanov remains done in Petersburg are authentic. Open bar.
'''Grissom''': Are you asking me out?
Line 141:
** [http://s2b2.livejournal.com/47011.html "Stephen Colbert" (the character)/Bill O'Reilly] is, unfortunately, [http://www.colbertnation.com/the-colbert-report-videos/182583/january-25-2007/right-away- canon.] To the point where the first version of TCR's website had a fanfiction section with slash between them.
*** [[Nightmare Fuel|Oh God, did you have to remind me?]]
** "Stephen"/Tom Hanks is also canon. They kissed and declared their love for each other.
** In [[Christmas Special|A Colbert Christmas]], Stephen Colbert had almost all the guests (which of course included Toby Keith, Jon Stewart, [[Foe Yay|and a guy in a bear suit]]) under the mistletoe at the ends of their respective songs. "Well, this is awkward..."
*** Notably, after Stewart left they both looked at each other and pressed their hands together yearningly through the glass of the door for a long moment. It's more than likely that they are fully aware of the subtext.
Line 163:
** Darcy and Manny!
** Eli and Adam seem to be headed in this direction. Since Adam is transgender and played by a girl, the writers have set up Adam as a [[Shipper on Deck]] for Eli/Clare so that if the [[Real Life]] UST between the actors get out of hand people can point out that Adam is practically the ''captain'' of the HMCS EClare.
* ''[[Dexter]]'' Season 3 has plenty of [[Ho Yay]] between the titular character of Dexter and the character of Miguel Prado.
** Even Dexter's sister notices, at one point asking him what was up with all the "sexual tension" between them.
** Also a small amount of [[Ho Yay]] between Quinn and his CI, Anton.
** Season 3? What about Season 1? Dexter was infatuated with the Ice Truck Killer before he ever met the guy. Definite schoolboy crush there. And then there's the flashback to his teenage years where he tells his father he doesn't like girls. Sure, he then expounds on it, saying he likes to be alone. But you can totally tell by Harry's expression that he's getting the wrong idea.
* ''[[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]]''.
{{quote|'''Mike''': "Why am I lying on another man lying on a crocodile?"}}
Line 182:
{{quote|'''Mag:''' Oh I dunno, the Asian one is kinda cute.
'''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.
{{quote|'''Chloë:''' Come on, June, you moved in the first day we met. I bagged me quite the trophy. (Slaps June on rear.)}}
* 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.
** And then there's Craig and Eric, Josh's geeky best friends who straddle the line between [[Those Two Guys]] and [[Beta Couple]].
* Constable Benton Fraser, RCMP and Detective First Class Ray Vecchio, or his replacement, Detective First Class S. Raymond Kowalski, in ''[[Due South]]''. Paul Gross, who played Benton Fraser and was deeply involved in many aspects of the series' production and writing, has stated in interviews that being broadcast solely in Canada for the third and fourth seasons gave him considerable freedom to consciously increase the Ho Yay content in Due South.
*** The series actually ends with Fraser and Kowalski sledding off into the sunset, while it's strongly implied they'll be spending the rest of their lives together.
Line 203:
** Jayne has, on more than one occasion, referred to Simon (or various body parts of his) as ''"pretty."''
*** Mal's prone to making comments like that as well. Simon must just be a gay magnet. In "Jaynestown", while mocking Simon, Mal goes on about how pretty he is...and then glances at his butt. So Yeah...
*** To say nothing of the fight in the Big Damn Movie. Mal shoves Simon onto a ''table'' at one point.
*** 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.
Line 210:
** 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".
** Saffron tries to kiss Inara in "Our Mrs. Reynolds" (yes, it was [[Manipulative Bastard|intended as a ploy]], but YoSaffBridge makes it clear the manipulations are their own reward). Made more interesting when considering Inara is revealed as [[Bi the Way|openly bisexual]] in "War Stories".
** The unit Malcolm Reynolds led during the pre-series war for Independence was the "57th Overlanders." One of the more [[Ho Yay]] filled Shakespearean sonnets is his 57th.
* Pops up a lot in ''[[Flight of the Conchords]]'', most obviously in Jemaine's "Bret, You've Got it Going On" song: "Why can't a heterosexual guy tell a heterosexual guy that he thinks his booty is fly?" Not to mention the business about Jemaine putting a wig on Bret and spooning him...
* [[Franklin and Bash]]. Evidence? The whole pilot.
Line 232:
* The Skipper and his "little buddy" on ''[[Gilligan's Island]]'':
{{quote|'''Skipper''': If you were a girl, I'd kiss ya'!}}
* [[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:
{{quote|'''Both:''' It ''worked! (move to hug, then pull away) Get off!''}}
** 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...
** The Blair/Serena [[Les Yay]] is to the point that they both dumped their respective dates at prom, and spent the rest of the night together remembering old days.
*** Let's not forget their [[Cat Fight]] in 2.06 "New Haven Can Wait."
Line 245:
** 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]]''.
{{quote|'''Mark:''' I came to Seattle to get you back.}}
** Also George O'Malley and Alex Karev.
{{quote|'''Alex:''' I'm down with the rainbow.}}
** 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.
*** You '''know''' they were about to kiss at the [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c7yl9Gn69UA end.]
* Nick and Monroe in ''[[Grimm]]'' -- middle of the night phonecalls, quasi-romantic dinners for two (cooked by Monroe, specifically for Nick, complete with soft music playing in the background), and conversations that make them sound [[Like an Old Married Couple]].
* ''[[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...
Line 260:
** 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.
** In the very first episode, Steve and Danny have a moment where they sit on the beach, watch the sunset, have a couple of beers and connect. The setting is impossibly romantic, and the fact that Steve was shirtless when the scene began, didn't hurt.
** In episode 9 when an old Navy buddy of Steve's shows up, Danny immediately dislikes him and begins acting like he's jealous. Steve even ''asks'' him if his behaviour is due to jealousy.
** In the latest episode, Danny [http://i54.tinypic.com/2mnoitv.gif signs 'I love you'] at Steve.
** The HUG.
** The 'carguments' can be be interpreted as such.
* ''[[Hellcats]]'' has had its fair share of incredibly [[Les Yay]] moments over its first season between main characters Marti and Savannah. Among the highlights:
Line 275:
** Also Bayliss and Pembleton. To elaborate, even though Pembleton was a conservative Catholic, he urged Bayliss to get to know his "dark side" sexually speaking, and be less squicked out by cases involving gays. Once Bayliss took his advice [[Bi the Way|big time]], he also showed subtle hints of being attracted to Pembleton, who didn't quite know what to do with this.
** In Season Six Pembleton even says (albeit jokingly) that he and Bayliss are "joined at the hip".
* In the first six episodes of the [[Horatio Hornblower]] mini-series, Horatio and Archie are [[Heterosexual Life Partners|inseparable]] during the time that they serve together. Archie at least has taken great risks for his friend (example: running across an exploding bridge for Horatio in the fourth episode, or returning to the prison where he'd spent the last several months just for the sake of honouring a promise Horatio made) and is clearly very fond of him. Horatio, in his less-emotional way, returns the sentiment: Archie is just about the only person who can make him smile, and while he's usually quite outwardly calm under pressure, Horatio just about falls apart when Archie tries to starve himself to death in "The Duchess and the Devil." Those two have far more chemistry together than Horatio and either of his subsequent love interests (his French girlfriend Mariette and {{spoiler|his eventual wife}} Maria) and the way they exchange long, lingering looks is very suspect. Not to mention the way Archie all-but-ogles Horatio in his new lieutenant's uniform ... their relationship culminates in {{spoiler|Archie [[Heroic Sacrifice|sacrificing his good name to save Horatio from hanging, then dying heroically.]] }}
* The ''[[How I Met Your Mother]]'' episode "Three Days Rule" was packed to the brim with [[Ho Yay]]. How packed? At one point there's a fantasy sequence of Barney and Marshall cuddled up together in cheerleader's outfits. Barney and Marshall then compete over who Ted would prefer to sleep with. Not to mention the walking, talking [[Ho Yay]] generator that is Stan.
** Why stop with "Three Days Rule", Ted and Marshall have the bromantic thing down. Hell, the very first episode opens with Marshall (fake)proposing to Ted.
Line 298:
* Of all shows, ''[[Iron Chef]] America'' had an example. [[Jerkass|Jeffery Steingarten]] was bemoaning the fact that among the snails that were today's theme ingredient, none of them were African snails, which he preferred. Alton Brown then suggested he take the other male judge out so they could have some. Cue looks between the two judges and appropriate music.
* Both ''[[Jackass]]'' and ''Wild Boyz'' are filled with intentional [[Ho Yay]]. In one episode of Wild Boyz, Steve-O even lays an almost-naked Chris Pontius across his lap and spanks him with the thorny leaf of a Mexican cactus!
** Pontius, according to interviews, really likes to start masturbating around his male friends. And try to get them wet.
* ''[[Jeeves and Wooster (TV series)|Jeeves and Wooster]]'' has less of this in the show than in the original books, thanks to the absence of Bertie's narration, but makes up for it by having double-act [[Stephen Fry]] and [[Hugh Laurie]] playing the titular characters. If you've seen [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-lUX0Wr90X8 some of the stuff they do] in ''[[A Bit of Fry and Laurie]]'', and factor in the supposed [[Heterosexual Life Partners]] thing...yeah. These guys ''slash'' '''''themselves'''''.
** And then there was "The Delayed Arrival" with Jeeves in drag. And I quote: "Why are you two holding hands like that? Is that some...English custom?"
Line 323:
** Munch isn't the only one aware of it. When Fin and Munch are having an argument, Elliot asks if they're having a lover's quarrel. Fin responds that it's about to become a domestic disturbance.
** Elliot and George. This does sometimes seem to cross into Foe Yay category. as they fight on an almost once an episode basis. But that "Strangle me?" scene was just [[Ho Yay]]-licious.
* ''[[LazyTown]]'' - There is so much Sportacus/Robbie slash out there that it seems to outnumber any other kind. And it doesn't come from nowhere either: one episode had Robbie falling asleep and happily murmur "Hello, Sportacus."
** Then there's the ridiculous amount of times Robbie touches Sportacus or jumps into his arms. They have the latter down to a fine art.
** Not to mention the fact that Sportacus [[Save the Villain|rescues Robbie]] almost as much as he rescues the kids.
* Believe it or not, Wally and Eddie on ''Leave it to Beaver''. In one episode Wally plans on ''going to a dance with Eddie'' and has to be convinced that ''going with a pretty girl is perfectly acceptable''. Talk about those repressive 50s!
* Kahlan and Cara of ''[[Legend of the Seeker]]'' have quite a following. They border on ''[[Foe Yay]]'' sometimes.
** There's a reason the majority of the fandom is 'Gay For Kahlan'.
* ''[[Lie to Me (TV series)|Lie to Me]]'': Lightman has a few definite [[Ho Yay]] moments with Jeff Buchanan. Shame about the {{spoiler|spectacular self-detonation of the relationship in the seventh episode.}}
** Cal gets very confrontational when trying to provoke honesty from his subjects. He's emotionally violent with women, but with men he gets more physical. In "Secret Santa," his pinning a soldier to a wall and menacing him from three inches away got very... ''intense''.
** Certainly not limited to this example; Cal usually turns relationships around to get whoever it is to trust him, which can come off as manipulating the subjects into being attracted to him.
* ''[[Life On Mars]]''. When you have at least one reviewer acknowledging that the ''real'' romance of the series is between Sam and Gene...
Line 342:
** And now Season 4 gives us Sawyer and Hurley.
{{quote|'''Sawyer:''' [[If You Ever Do Anything to Hurt Her...|If you harm one curly little hair on his head]]...I'll kill you.}}
** 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.
{{quote|'''Locke''': Can I ask you a question, Ben?
Line 389:
**** Not really. In the days before marriage, it has happened that one member of a gay couple would adopt the other, to form a legal bond that would allow things like hospital visitation rights.
* While we're talking about [[The Muppet Show|muppets]], how about [[Statler and Waldorf]]? Not only do they argue [[Like an Old Married Couple]] at times, during the ballroom sequences they're sometimes seen dancing with each other.
** Statler also dated Lionel Barrymore. Admittedly, it was because Ethel was busy.
** [http://muppet.wikia.com/wiki/Astoria This] is Waldorf's wife. If that doesn't convince you, nothing will.
** Or, from that logic, Gonzo and Rizzo certainly qualify as well. They live together, and are probably the Muppets No. 1 [[Crack Pairing]].
Line 420:
*** [[Alternate Character Interpretation|Or it could be that]] Tony is [[Hidden Depths|mature]], reasonable, and intensely loyal to Gibbs - as Gibbs makes perfectly clear when he suggests to Director Shepard, without any prompting whatsoever, that it's time for Tony to have his own team. And he sounds truly regretful about it. Of course, Tony [[Nakama|has absolutely no intention of leaving Team Gibbs]]. Under any circumstances. Not, of course, that this lessens the [[Ho Yay]]-tastic-ness of it any less... just puts a different spin on said [[Ho Yay]].
*** Fair point. I'd argue it's gone from the first to the second scenario as the series progresses.
*** They have what is essentially a dinner date at the end of 7x12.
*** What is, by all appearances, a ''standing'' dinner date, no less - it looked and played out like something they had done a thousand times before.
*** Many have speculated that, considering the fact that Tony's own father was completely useless, he is desperate for a [["Well Done, Son" Guy]] father figure.
** 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.
Line 432:
'''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."
** Kensi once asked Hanna how long he and Callen had been married.
** And then there's the [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6EdjDA_2cig credit sequence], fully half of which is taken up by Sam and Callen exchanging meaningful looks.
* Sean McNamera and Christian Troy on ''[[Nip Tuck]]''. Played absolutely seriously and intentionally; as if the infamous threesome scene from Season 2 weren't enough, later seasons have featured many, ''many'' explicitly homoerotic scenes, and at least one on-screen suggestion that Christian's compulsive womanizing may be an attempt to overcompensate for his questionable sexual identity.
Line 457:
* There's definite [[Les Yay]] between Brooke and Peyton on ''[[One Tree Hill]]''. Another character, Rachel, even joked about it in an episode of season three.
** Rachel once suggests that she might be into girls. Cue [[Brainless Beauty|Bevin]] kissing her. Too bad Rachel didn't like it.
** Also how can we forget Peyton's bisexual friend Anna who had a crush on her.
** Another episode features Brooke trying to ambush Lucas by straddling him. Instead she ends up straddling his new girlfriend.
* HBO's ''[[Oz]]'' was famous for that rarest of rare beasts, canon slash, especially Beecher/Keller, but there was plenty of Ho Yay to be had. O'Reilly/Stanislofski, O'Reilly/Adebisi, Adebisi/Said, Schillinger/Scott Ross, Schillinger/Keller, Torquemada/Alvarez {{spoiler|which became canon in the last season}}.
Line 467:
** ''[[Band of Brothers (TV series)|The Band Of Brothers]]'': Winters and Nixon are practically the canon ship in the fandom. Also, many a fan has speculated that the writers of the show made the relationship between Webster and Liebgott be more than just friends. Spiers/Lipton is also popular, based mostly around the conversation they have at the end of "The Breaking Point" and how Spiers treats Lipton when the latter is ill.
* Katherine and Mundi in ''[[Parallax]]''. Katherine is generally disinterested in boys, as evidenced by her conversations with the boycrazy Melinda, and when Veronica sends Katherine to Mundi's world to "learn something about herself", Katherine spends almost the entire time dancing with Mundi and thoroughly enjoying herself. Mundi seems quite keen to get Katherine to open up to new experiences and fends off the only boy to show an interest in her.
* On ''[[Parks and Recreation]]'', Leslie calls Ann "beautiful" with astonishing frequency, even at times where it makes little sense to mention it. Then there was them holding hands as the pit got filled in, the whole "practice date", and of course Ann's evening as Leslie's trophy wife.
* Jez and Mark on ''[[Peep Show]]''. We have the episode where Mark threatens to leave Jezz for 'Johnson' and Jezz claiming (to himself) that he is 'the one' for Mark.
** There's also the episode where Jez begins a relationship with Mark's sister, at least partially to spite Mark; the two are later having sex when Jez realizes that Mark's sister is very similar in many ways to Mark himself, which prompts a note of panic on Jez's part...
** When they go away for the weekend on Mark's stag do, Jez speculates "maybe the pressure will build to the point where we actually try to fuck each other".
* ''[[Perfect Strangers]]'': They're only cousins because of [[Executive Meddling]] to appease the [[Moral Guardians]].
* It looks like we might get a hint of this on ''[[Person of Interest]]'' between Reese and Finch. Those two are already pretty dependent on each other...and when {{spoiler|Reese was shot and believed he was dying, he called Finch to share his last words with him.}} The two switched to using their first names, and {{spoiler|the desperation on Finch's face as he drives to get to Reese in time is evident.}}
* ''[[Power Rangers|Power Rangers Dino Thunder]]'': Tommy and Mesogog have a couple of scenes that positively gush [[Subtext]]. In his Dr. Mercer identity, he told his son that he and Tommy had had their time and moved on, as if they'd been in a romantic relationship, and when Tommy's held captive and strapped to a table in Mesogog's lab (!) in one episode, Mezzie leans to within an inch of him several times while threatening him. Any closer and he'd be nuzzling Tommy's neck. When Mesogog orders his [[Mooks]] to attack once the Rangers show up, Tommy sighs, "I hate when he gets like this."
** The ''Rangers'' universe also gives us [http://www.rangercentral.com/episodes/2005_spd/ep21/eppic08.jpg Morgana's bodily pinning Z against a tree] and Necrolai's stroking of the face of a [[Brainwashed and Crazy]] Vida. The writers do love us after all!
Line 480:
** How about Jason and Tommy? Helped along by the fact that their [[Kyoryu Sentai Zyuranger]] counterparts were brothers...
*** I honestly think ''[[Mighty Morphin Power Rangers]]'' was the only show to offer more male [[Fan Service]] than female. But yeah, Jason and Tommy even had "breakup" episodes. So you could say that the [[Power Rangers Turbo|Turbo]] movie is just Tommy dealing with [[One True Threesome|the exes]] [[Brainwashed and Crazy|from hell]].
** [[Power Rangers RPM]] gave us Dillon's friendly/flirty rivalry with Scott, not to mention Dillon and Ziggy's partnership.
** ''[[Power Rangers Samurai]]'' Antonio. Just... Antonio. Jayden's childhood friend returns to become the [[Sixth Ranger]] in "Unexpected Arrival", where ''after'' a rather, um, ''flamboyant'' showing in battle, he announces "I'm ready for some ''action''" and ''struts'' toward Jayden (to give him a hearty handshake), set to a musical cue that could easily pass for romantic. In the following episode, "Room for One More", he arrives at Shiba House in a tuxedo, and petitions the Rangers' mentor to join the team in a scene that feels very much like he's asking Mentor Ji's permission to ''date'' Jayden. That Jayden coyly waits outside rather than sitting in on the interview with the other rangers adds to the feel. Given the fairly weak acting of the season to this point, it's a bit striking how much more genuine their affection seems than ''any other emotion any character has conveyed all season''.
* ''[[Primeval]]'': If it's a dude, Nick Cutter has had a [[Ho Yay]] moment (or several) with it.
Line 504:
*** "Some people say it's the most homoerotic double-act on television. And that's probably true." - Alan Davies, ''50 Not Out''.
** That episode where guests Rob Brydon and Ben Miller kissed. And expressed their enjoyment of it afterwards.
** While this didn't happen so much in the early seasons, as the show has gone on, many of ''[[QI]]'''s other panelists also flirt quite openly with Stephen, once they found out that he doesn't object and will often play along with it. Some of the most obvious moments have been from [[Phill Jupitus]] and [[Jimmy Carr]]. The general rule here is that the later in the show's run a particular episode is, the more [[Ho Yay]] it will have.
* The [[Ho Yay]] between Sam and Al in ''[[Quantum Leap]]'' is practically canon. The second season episode ''What Price Gloria?'' features the first instance of Sam leaping into a woman. Al is incredibly attracted to Sam in female form, to the point where he seeks help from the project's staff psychologist. Of course, the audience sees Sam as a man throughout most of the episode.
* Name me any two guys in ''[[Reaper]]''. The devil's unhealthy obsession with Sam? Sock and Ben dancing together? Sock "inadvertently" grabbing Sam's ass?
Line 517:
** And Robin and Much in the new series are a bickering married couple, most notably when Robin cradles a sobbing [[Anti-Villain]], after he realizes his personal reasons to want Robin dead are based on a lie, and Much complains, "You've never held ''me'' like that!"
** Then there's Allan/Will, who were extremely close during Season One and almost <s>eloped</s> ran away together in the season finale. Technically, both of them had crushes on [[Sweet Polly Oliver|Djaq]], but the fact that she spent the entire season disguised as a boy certainly muddied the water a little bit...
** Not to mention Guy/Allan. After a bout of torture (in which Guy throws a bucket of water over a [[Shirtless Scene|shirtless]] Allan), Allan agrees to [[Face Heel Turn|provide inside information]] on Robin and the outlaws. Guy then proceeds to change his clothing in front of Allan, dress him up in matching black leather, and have an [[Homoerotic Dream|erotic dream]] about him. Even the Sheriff catches on, referring to Allan as "Gisborne's boy" and remarking "Kissing in the moonlight?" when he walks in on them together in the dark.
** In Season Three, Allan (who by this stage is well and truly the fandom's [[Little Black Dress]]) is often paired with Much. Again, there was something of a [[Love Triangle]] between the two of them and [[Creator's Pet|Kate]], but the two of them seemed far more interested in each other, and half the fandom speculated that if it didn't work out with Kate, they were more than likely to start making out with each other instead.
** Finally, there's Robin/Guy, mixed with a hefty dose of [[Foe Yay]]. They're all the other ever talks about, Robin ditches his new girlfriend Kate in order to go on a field-trip with Guy, and eventually Guy {{spoiler|dies in Robin's arms}}. For a second there, it honestly looks like Robin is going to kiss him goodbye.
* Brutus and Cassius on ''[[Rome]]''.
** And more overtly, Marc Antony and Vorenus.
** And more bromantically, Vorenus and Pullo. "There, there, lamb," indeed.
*** Bromantically? It's so overt that Pullo's ''wife'' gets jealous of Vorenus. In fairness, most pre-modern cultures did not make the assumption that a man's closest relationship would be with his wife. Bromance, with or without actual sex, was a societal norm, not an exception. The jealousy kicks in when the wife realizes that she may not be able to compete with her male rival for her husband's affections.
*** Without actual sex, for ancient Roman society. Essentially, the farthest a relationship could go between two men was Ho Yay, unless they wanted to risk their citizenship (which was everything). But that doesn't stop the subtext, especially when you get into the arbitrary divorce and remarrying to cement "political" relationships, which means marrying a woman with the feminized name of ally (Julius Ceasar's ally Pompey marrying his daughter Julia, for instance).
Line 544:
** Unless there's some [[Brother-Sister Incest|incest]] going on, this is ignoring the fact that Bert and Ernie were created to be ''brothers.''
*** Despite this, in one early episode [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O_2XYQ_BloA&feature=related Bert invites over his identical brother Bart], who Ernie has apparently never met before (Bart, however, has obviously been told of Ernie...).
*** While they were originally intended to be brothers that idea was scrapped and they went for an odd couple angle.
** Case in point: One episode has a [[What If]] scenario where Ernie is a poor-but-honest farmboy who wants to marry a princess and live in the castle. To do this, he must pick the magic apple from a tree, as directed by his Fairy Godmother. He tries, but fails, because it's too high up. Ultimately, Ernie gives up, but then the apple falls from the tree and lands in his mouth. A king comes along and requests that Ernie marry his daughter who ends up being... Bert. In drag. It is a hilarious sketch.
** Then there's this adorable little gem. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5VFzIsk1pQM D'aww.]
Line 556:
'''Sherlock''': People do little else.
''[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.
{{quote|Tony: "I always loved you the best, Sid."}}
** 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?
*** I think we're also forgetting the entirety of [[Schoolgirl Lesbians|Emily & Naomi's storyline.]]
** In Generation three, we have Franky and Mini. Between the constant staring at each other, Mini stroking Franky's hair and commenting on her "fuck-me eyes", the almost flirtatious banter between each other, lines like "See you on the field, ''stud''." and the two having a general obsession with each other, the pair have become a goldmine of subtext. Hell, people were shipping them a long time before the first episode even aired.
Line 568:
** Sonny and Tawny also have plenty of [[Subtext]], with a bit of a [[Slap Slap Kiss]] and [[Foe Yay]] vibe. Sonny dresses up as a male fan, Tawni comes onto her hard, complete with mood lighting and porno music. After the reveal, Tawni didn't care that she'd been hitting on Sonny, rather she was annoyed that Sonny now knows how much Tawni thinks of her. Then they started rolling around on the floor together.
** [[Ship Tease|"I need you. I need you! I need you! I need you! I need you more than a flower needs rain, more than a balloon needs air and more than you need a spray tan."]]
* Long simmering on ''[[So You Think You Can Dance]]'', the [[Ho Yay]] reached full-boil as the producers finally opened up to expressive choreography for male-male pairs. It went through the roof when Season 7's Kent Boyd & Neil Haskell(all-star) danced a work choreographed by former dance-testant Travis Wall (walking ball of [[Ho Yay]] all by himself) about betrayal by a friend. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m-BcpJ-9a40 Just friends?] Yeah, right.
* Harlan and Radu occasionally on ''[[Space Cases]]'', i.e. the fencing scene where they're arguing over who the [[Canon Sue]] would like looks more like they're flirting with ''each other''.
** Theoretically, Commander Goddard's former friend turned enemy (and space pirate) Reaver have tension in their scenes that drips with history and subtext. Possible ex-boyfriend drama.
Line 575:
* Lucretia and Ilythia in ''Spartacus: Blood and Sand''. Oh my, Lucretia and Ilythia. Not really even subtextual, since they repeatedly kiss each other on the mouth, and at various points fondle one another.
* Dan and Casey in ''[[Sports Night]]''.
** The most notable example probably being the episode "Thespis", where Dan spends the episode being upset that Casey doesn't remember the date of their first broadcast together, and it is eventually revealed that Casey turned down an offer to have his own late-night network show--which was the beginning of the end of his marriage--to work with Dan on a local sports show.
* The episode "Duet" of ''[[Stargate Atlantis]]'' has a same-sex kiss and one that just looks like it from the outside. In this case it was Lt. Cadman kissing Dr. Brown (both women) while in Rodney's body. At the end of the episode she kisses Dr. Beckett, making it ''look'' like Rodney kissed Beckett.
** You can't talk about the [[Ho Yay]] in SGA without bringing up Sheppard and McKay's [[Slap Slap Kiss]] relationship. It is so touching when Rodney is running to John and calling his name in "The Shrine" during one of his periods of early-Alzheimer's-related distress.
Line 583:
** 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.
*** Is it worth noting Todd is basically his faction's 'Queen'.
** Lets be honest, if Stargate's target audience was just that little bit different the sheer amount of potential examples here would probably launch up so quickly we'd need a Stargate page
* ''[[Stargate SG-1]]'' is teeming Jack/Daniel [[Ho Yay]]. The actors' chemistry, combined with things like the "Spacemonkey" hug, Daniel's Blood of Sokar hallucination, Jack pushing up Daniel's glasses, the scene in "Threads" in which {{spoiler|after descending naked into Jack's office, Daniel emerges with the SGC flag wrapped around his waist and explains his descension to the team while Jack looks away awkwardly, strokes the flagpole beside him, and tugs his shirt down}}, and every Jack/Daniel moment of "Abyss". Michael Shanks (Daniel's actor), once confused by the idea of Jack/Daniel, has since likened the Jack/Daniel relationship to that of a bitchy gay couple, and the two are sometimes referred to by fans as "The Old Married Couple in Space".
Line 590:
** Sam has some pretty epic [[Foe Yay]] [[Screw Yourself|with RepliCarter]], spending most of their time together having no regard for the other's personal space and staring intensely into each other's eyes.
** By the end of the series, Sam and Vala have gotten quite close too, spending quite a bit of time together. Their female bonding can be easily confused for, well, ''female bonding''.
**** There are also some people who would ship Daniel with (different, very male looking) members of the Unas race.
* In the TV Series ''[[Starsky and Hutch (TV series)|Starsky and Hutch]]'', the title characters would hug each other or cry during some sad moment. They were often wearing leather jackets at the time.
** There's a shot of them dancing with each other in the ''credits''.
Line 605:
* In ''Super Junior Mini Drama'', there is a whole episode dedicated to [[Ho Yay]]. The assignment of the episode is to write a script about "forbidden love between two (male) members." Some of the acting can be seen [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=koMhI5OEWo8 here] (especially notable stuff starts 3:58)
* Kurt and Brian in ''Teachers''. In one episode they were accidentally sent a Christmas card by their bank which believed they were a married couple (Kurt and Briony). Cue much worrying from Brian that, if they were married, he'd be the wife, and an attempt to be seen as two separate people. Another episode involved them discovering that your pupils widen when you look into the eyes of someone you love. Naturally, they realise that their eyes widen only for each other...
* It's official! In the ''[[Twilight (novel)|Twilight]]''-esque [[Teen Wolf (TV series)|television remake]] of the 80's movie ''[[Teen Wolf (film)|Teen Wolf]]'', Ho Yay is present. Not only do we have two hot young male werewolves, one which made the other pack and will now be teaching him, but we have many elements of Ho Yay already! Shirtless wrestling? Check. Steamy glances from across the room (that cause one of the boys to completely forget about his girlfriend for a moment)? Check. The other boy subtlety trying to separate the first from his female love interest? Check. Shirtless wrestling? Check, check, and more check.
* This is parodied in the show ''Testees'' when the two main characters lose their memory because of one of the products they are testing and their friend tells them they are gay lovers then tries to get them to have sex in front of their entire apartment building.
** 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.
Line 624:
'''Fez''': Maybe.
'''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.
** Number 10's press [[Evil Duo|tyrants]] aren't the only ones. There seems to be [[Ho Yay]] or [[Foe Yay]] between Malcolm and everyone he encounters, and this is largely due to his tactic of unnerving people by flirting with them. He saves most of the [[Ho Yay]] for Jamie though.
** 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''.
Line 631:
** 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.
** Then again, folks, remember this IS Oz, a universe that is loaded with [[Ho Yay]] and [[Les Yay]] to start with. You could make a good case for Glitch and Cain's predecessors (Scarecrow and Nick Chopper), while Ozma and Dorothy is more text than subtext. Add in Maguire and Laumer's Oz, and things get even heavier in those regards.
** There's a pit of squicky subtext between Azkadellia and DG.
* ''[[Super Sentai|Tokusou Sentai Dekaranger]]'' has three: Ban and his "aibo," Hoji, Ban and [[Sixth Ranger]] Tetsu, and, well, any of the male Rangers and Doggie Kruger. Of course, there's also the subtle subtext of Jasmine and Umeko during their team-up episodes, but that's less obvious than the others. Then again, one of the male Rangers did say they act like lovers, and there's the wedding dresses scene in their special end title...
Line 645:
** In a deleted scene for the episode ''From Out of the Rain'', the Ghostmaker lovingly strokes the hair of one of the clowns in his circus, who smiles, shyly at him.
* This trope is the reason Randy and Mr. Lahey have been known to dress up as Tonto and [[The Lone Ranger]] on ''[[Trailer Park Boys]]''.
* ''[[True Blood]]'', Season 3. Bill shows up in Sam's motel room, shirtless. He makes Sam remove his shirt, all the while flirting like crazy. He goes in for the kiss... {{spoiler|And Sam wakes up, having dreamt the whole thing.}}
** Also, Season 2's interludes between Eric and Lafayette, which was [[Word of God|confirmed]] to be intentional on the actors' part.
** Eric and Godric have a very deep relationship, built on "centuries of faith and love". This, combined with Eric's insane protectiveness and submissiveness towards Godric, kind of makes them look like lovers.
Line 662:
** 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]].
** There was also an odd bit of editing where Thomas Wyatt was reading a love poem about Anne via voice-over while Suffolk was cementing his alliance with Thomas Boleyn and Norfolk. One line (paraphrased) was: 'they put themselves in danger to take my hand.' The editing was probably due to time constraints or some such thing, but the line does fit. An alliance to those two could've easily turn dangerous, but he, for whatever reason, agreed to it so that his exile would be lifted.
** And then, there was Henry and Thomas More. Henry tried fairly hard to make More happy and have his approval. When things became very bad between the two, he confessed, privately, to a crucifix More gave him that he loved More as much as he hated him. After More was dead (by Henry's order), he let out a [[Big No]] type scream.
* ''[[Two and A Half Men]]'': Charlie and Alan. They're only brothers because of [[Executive Meddling]] to appease the [[Moral Guardians]].
** Indeed. In one episode Charlie actually gets in the shower with Alan.
Line 680:
** In season one, Meg Manning referred to Veronica as her "knight in shining armor", gave her a corsage, and took her as her date to a school dance. Before the dance, though, she made Veronica dress in an extremely provocative outfit; Veronica referred to the costume as "Manila Whore Barbie" (the look was meant to emulate Madonna's early career; it was an '80s dance). Once they got to the dance, though, Meg refused to dance with Veronica, telling her "Forgive me, gal-pal; I'm weak," even before her secret date shows up. Aftewards, Veronica goes out to her car, borderline crying, VOing that all love does is get you alone at the spring dance strapped into uncomfortable underwear. Yeah, that's not even [[Subtext]] anymore.
* ''[[Warehouse 13]]'' has Myka and a female HG Wells in a extremely tense [[Les Yay/Foe Yay|Foe Yay]] relationship. The two actresses discussed their characters and storyline and how to spice it up a little, and decided to ''fall in love a little bit''.
** Fall in love a little bit? whenever the two are in the same room after 2x01 they constantly look like they want to jump each other.
** Before that, James MacPherson and Artie. When James died, Artie spent alot of time mourning him, acting like a widower more than someone who'd lost their friend.
* In "Wrath of Con", Lilly open-mouth kissed Veronica, albeit partly to tweak Logan; Lilly was also trying to get Veronica to dress more provocatively: "You are not a yellow cotton dress! You are--strapless red satin!" Lilly, apparently, was a budding [[Anything That Moves]], as in an [[Alternate Future]] dreamed up by Veronica where she wasn't killed, her boyfriend in college broke up with her for fooling around with his ex-girlfriend.
Line 702:
** 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:
{{quote|'''Greg''': I've had Drew's ass, and now I want more.}}
** [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D4OfIQ5vRkA Greg and Clive, anyone?]
** And the Party Quirks where Colin was groping everyone.
*** The fact that Wayne gets back up so Colin could grab him, even though he was already out, adds to the subtext.
** [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K09KN2hb938 This segment of Hollywood Director] ends with Wayne straddling Greg and Greg's legs wrapped around Wayne.
** After the infamous "Maltese Burger" kiss, Ryan says to Colin "I think that's the first time I've ever kissed you ''on here''." Those two have had the most kisses between them, with Ryan usually initiating them. Colin would sometimes lead, which would lead to an infamous kiss during Whose Line where Colin kissed him after Ryan tries to kiss him, including the line "We’ve worked together 20 years, you can’t kiss me?!" said by Ryan.
*** By last tally, Colin has kissed ''every'' regular male contestant at least once, as well as the host. The man gets around.
Line 734:
* 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.
{{quote|'''David Mitchell''': I'm not quite sure how to take this, but thanks.}}
** 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
{{quote|'''Miranda Hart''': [Robert] keeps talking about this Abby he's married to but we all know he's talking about David.}}
** 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:
