• Grandpa tells Professor Hawkins "I wish I knew how to quit you."
• Spoofing with Tristan and Duke. Episode 38:

Duke: I know how she feels. Guys are proposing to me all the time. Tristan: Duke, I already told you I was joking!

• • Episode 40:

Tristan: Get your hand off my butt! Duke: Sorry. It does that.

• • Same episode:

Tristan: Be quiet you fool! Do you want the aliens to probe your anus? Duke: ...Maybe.

• Let's face it - any scene featuring Marik and Bakura will result in large amounts of this trope. In the recap episode, their teaming up was described with Florence claiming they should be partners. Marik responded “You mean like partners in crime?” and Florence replied somewhat sarcastically. In episode 40, Florence tells Marik it's a good thing he's pretty, because otherwise he would have suffocated him. In the "Leather Pants" video, Marik says that both him and Florence are quite hot and sexy and there is a shot of them standing very close (with sparkles) to the line “And we're really Just Friends!” Right before they die at the hands of Melvin, they sing "Stand By Me" in a duet, and in a deleted scene, got a Dying Confession of Hate so foe yay-riffic it's currently the page quote for Foe Yay/Anime. Incredibly? Their Ho Yay only gets more blatant in Marik Plays Bloodlines:

Prostitute: Okay, honey. Let's see what you've got. Marik: Hey, Bakura, isn't that what you said to me the first time we met? And then I showed you my Millenium Item. Bakura: Yes, I was very disappointed.

• • Also, the following:

Melvin: If you're done fighting with your girlfriend, we have a card game to finish! Florence: He's not my girlfriend! Marik: You tell him, honey!

• • And now in Marik Plays Bloodlines episode 6, Marik has admitted that he's gay and keeps a whole folder filled with Thiefshipping pictures on his computer. Amazingly, he still denies that any of this is true, at first claiming that Bakura couldn't hear him, and then blaming the ghost in the game. It's becoming increasingly obvious that the only thing stopping Marik and Florence from being full-on Yaoi Guys is Marik's inexplicable insistence that he is not gay.
• The episode "What would Yugi do?" has so much Yami/Yugi Ho Yay. From Yami's side at least.

"You should buy the whipped cream for later ... you know ... for snacks."

• "Apparently we're supposed to...do you."
• Episode 45:

Melvin:: I always knew you wanted me to be inside you, Bakura!

• Episode 47:

Yugi: Aw, that's cute! Duke and Tristan got their own little hole!

• Episode 48:

Duke: We've gotta get outa here, dude! I kinda have this disease where if I don't have half-naked girls applied to my body at regular intervals... I die. Tristan: Want me to take my top off? Duke: I said half-naked girls! Tristan: How do you know it won't work if you don't try it? Duke: Dude. Trust me. I know.

• Episode 50

Yugi: I wonder what Tristan would do Gilligan Cut Tristan: I'm going to touch your boobs! Duke: ...Why?

• In "The Other Abridged Movie," Kaiba has security cameras set up all through out Japan and spends a lot of time spying on Yugi, including watching Yugi taking a shower everyday so that he can always be "one step ahead of him." There is also Joey's whole "surprise buttsecks" thing which he does to a random henchman and Yugi. Some example dialogue:

Kaiba:When I'm through with you, you'll have to take a shower to wash away the smell of defeat. And I won't be watching you do it. Yami: Why would you be watching me? Kaiba: I don't know, I just wanted to make sure you knew I wouldn't be. Yami: But I never thought- Kaiba: Good because I won't! Yami: Why would I think that you were watching m- Kaiba: I dunno.

• Just a throwaway line, but in episode 21, as they're going into the virtual world:

Joey: Bye, darling! Tristan: Ixnay on the arlingday...

• The WHOLE Joey-is-a-furry-Kaiba-dream-sex thing.
• In "Marik's Evil Council 4", Melvin declares that now that Yugi is dead, Bakura will be his boyfriend and they will "go out ten times". Shortly afterwards, Zorc tells Bakura that Zorc And Pals is getting a second season, and Dan Green tells him that "Florence" has just been voted the manliest name ever. Bakura says that this is the happiest day of his life. Too bad that was All Just a Dream.
• In the movie, Pegasus flirts a lot with Kaiba. "How about I smother your naked body in cream and lick it off?" indeed.
  • Of course, it could be Pegasus trying to piss off Kaiba for the lulz.
• A lot in Bonds Beyond Time Abridged. Firstly there's Yuusei telling Jack Top Gun isn't gay because it's totally straight for two guys to call each other cute nicknames, play volleyball, and ride their phallic vehicles at extremely high speeds. Jack then says it's time to ride their motorcycles and play some half-naked volleyball.

Yuusei: You can be my wingman anytime, Jack. Jack: No, Yuusei. You can be mine.

• • Later, Yuusei reads a scene from a Jack/Yuusei Fanfic.

Yuusei: And then Jack turned to Yuusei and said "come over here and kick my engines into overdrive".

• • In the last part, Yuusei and Yami get their Ho Yay on, with the latter continually adding 'no homo' and Yami replying ambivalently. Until...

Yusei: You can be my wingman anytime, Yugi. Yugi: No, Yusei. You can be mine. sexy music plays; they eyesex* Yuusei: No homo, right? Yami: ALL OF THE HOMO!

• Evil Council 5. This says it all:

Marik: (To Bakura/Florence) But we had some good times, right? Like that time we all got together to play baseball in the dessert. I was the pitcher, you were the catcher...

• Kaiba/Yugi in Kaiba Finally Snaps, a parody of Mel Gibson's infamous rant at his girlfriend. Apart from Kaiba's card game related double entendres and his obvious obsession with Yugi, there's suspiciously heavy breathing. Because Kaiba is angry at Yugi. Right.
