* Any ''{{Pokemon}}'' player character will inevitably be shipped with the BigBad (or [[VideoGame/PokemonGoldAndSilver rival equivalent]]) of their game-generation. Never mind that [[KidHero most of the player characters are underage]], and the villains usually are not. Female player characters are most prone to it, though the guys certainly aren't immune. [[VideoGame/PokemonDiamondAndPearl Cyrus]] is very good at this [[OmnicidalManiac despite]] [[BrokenAce the]] [[EmotionSuppression obvious]]. He's one of the most popular partners for Dawn and/or Cynthia, ''both of whom are {{Memetic Sex God}}s''.

* Considering the prevalence of DatingCatwoman in {{Superhero}} comics, it's unsurprising that the fans like their FoeYayShipping so much. {{Batman}}[=/=]ComicBook/{{Catwoman}} [[hottip:*:(the TropeNamer for DatingCatwoman, appropriately enough)]], {{Batman}}[=/=]TheJoker and [[ComicBook/{{X-Men}} Professor Xavier/Magneto]] are probably the most famous examples.

* The ''ThatGuyWithTheGlasses'' fanfiction fandom started with the AngryVideoGameNerd[=/=]NostalgiaCritic ship, based on the violent [[SitcomArchNemesis "rivalry"]] between the two reviewers. In the same fandom, there is the Linkara/Dr. Insano ship, from ''AtopTheFourthWall''. It's so popular it has been {{lampshaded}} in the actual videos.
