** Played straight with Tedd, who has often denied being gay because of his [[{{Bishonen}} appearance]]. Considering what [[GenderBender regularly]] [[TheMindIsAPlaythingOfTheBody happens]] in this webcomic, the sexuality of any main cast member, at some point, becomes quite debatable. There's every indication that Tedd really ''is'' straight (at least, again, [[GenderBender inasmuch as orientation applies with EGS]]), and secure in what there is of his masculinity too. He only brings it up constantly because people are constantly questioning it. Amusingly, Tedd is often romantically involved with Elliot in alternate universes... but '''always''' heterosexually (i.e., when one of them is a girl). The Tedd in Ellen's AU "childhood dreams" had a crush on AU Ellen (Elliot's clone) but she didn't reciprocate. Either the author is having fun (not only the readers but other characters have been treated to Elliot/Tess or Tedd/Ellen, to their squick and/or amusement) or he's implying that the qualities that make Tedd and Elliot such close friends would also make them a great couple, if only parts and preferences worked out.

* On Music/InsaneClownPosse's "[[Music/FearlessFredFury Be Safe]]", Shaggy 2 Dope gets so into his rap that he blurts out "[[HoYay I might suck a dick]]--" followed by a RecordNeedleScratch, as Shaggy realizes what he just rapped, then corrects himself, "--[[SugarWiki/FunnyMoments uh, I would never suck a dick!]]" HilariousInHindsight if you remember the Ken Kaniff skit Music/{{Eminem}} made for ''Music/TheMarshallMathersLP''.

-->-- ''Series/{{Friends}}'', "The One with the Baby on the Bus"[[note]]To be fair, they were mistaken for a gay couple in the previous scene[[/note]]

[[folder:Web Original]]

* From the ''WesternAnimation/{{Daria}}'' episode "The Misery Chick":

** In the episode "Stew-Roids," one of the James Woods Regional High School jocks constantly makes homophobic comments culminating in "everyone's gay but me!" before coming out of the closet in his final appearance.

* William Murderface in ''WesternAnimation/{{Metalocalypse}}''. It shows in at least five episodes, including a time where he won't eat any food that is longer than it is wide because it's too close to a penis. Pickles notes that for this to bother him so much, he must be thinking about dicks in mouths all the time. And when the group is hiding in a closet, they hear an odd noise... only to turn the lights on and see [[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything Murderface licking a hotdog]].
** When Dethklok reveals that they will be designing a line of clothing, Murderface takes the podium and assures everyone that even though he is about to enter the fashion industry, he is not gay.
* In ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'' episode "Slice of Life", [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MbXfdKROeyM Lyra and Bon Bon claim to be best friends]]. The fandom doesn't buy it. This was of course after the Equestria Girls versions in ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyEquestriaGirlsRainbowRocks'' [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QwAOtd4f7M8 seemed to be a bit closer than friends as well]]. [[spoiler:They end up proposing to each other and getting married near the end of the series.]]

* ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'' plays with this in "Future-Drama":

'''Smithers:''' Ha ha, no, I'm straight! As long as I take these injections every ten minutes. ''[he injects himself]'' I LOVE BOOBIES!

** In the first few seasons, Mr. Garrison ''massively'' overcompensated for his closet homosexuality by constantly talking about how straight he was. He would mention, apropos of nothing, how he was always on the hunt for "poontang" as well as bashing gay people whenever he could. It was a surprise to zero people when he came out.

** Tyler is helped up by the charming Alejandro in "[[Recap/TotalDramaWalkLikeAnEgyptianPartOne Walk Like An Egyptian -- Part 1]]", prompting him to insist that he likes girls.

* In ''Podcast/TheAdventureZoneBalance'''s Boston Live Stunt Spectacular, in order to get behind the scenes, Taako disguises himself as a genial backstage worker he names 'Tuff Greg' and who is apparently, unlike Taako, straight:

* This is the purpose of the GorgeousGeorge gimmick, if not outright to claim to be heterosexual, then at least to constantly present ''[[AmbiguouslyGay reasonable]]'' doubt that you are homosexual. Wrestling/GeorgeWagner openly admits to getting the idea for the gimmick from a guy who acted really gay but was constantly flanked by females and while George did without that particular bit, several of his successors such as Wrestling/ExoticAdrianStreet, Wrestling/{{Goldust}} and Wrestling/RicoConstantino at least brought in one woman, Miss Linda, [[Wrestling/TerriRunnels Marlena]] or Wrestling/LunaVachon, [[Wrestling/JackieGayda Miss Jackie]] who they'd get up close with in between their harassment of men.
* [[Wrestling/JessicaKresa ODB]] really loves men. Just the sound of one can cause her to grab her breasts in pleasure and one of her signature moves, the dirty dozen, involves ramming another woman's head into the top turn buckle while she sits on it for their pleasure, figuratively but not literally putting their faces in her crotch. ODB is actually vocally disgusted by contact with bosoms of other females as well as the notion of letting them touch her own.

** Owen gets like this when the beautiful Justin is around, which is so often and thorough that Owen falls under AmbiguouslyBi.

* This was pretty much the entire reason the original ComicBook/{{Batwoman}} existed: cultural commentators of the day had been calling out the HoYay in ''ComicBook/{{Batman}}'' stories of the era, what with the total lack of long-term non-villainous female presence in his life and the focus on his close, trusting relationship with his sidekick, and so the writers introduced a female character to serve as his ImpliedLoveInterest. Unfortunately, the fact that it was so heavily forced as a romance, combined with its [[StayInTheKitchen very dated writing]], meant that most modern commentators have found it looked a lot less like true love and more like a guy stuck with TheBeard against his will. In a somewhat ironic reversal, the Batwoman introduced in the modern era is an out and proud lesbian.
* One issue of ''ComicBook/BirdsOfPrey'' has Characters/BlackCanary going up against [[Characters/BatmanTaliaAlGhul Talia Al-Ghul]]. Talia's main power appears to be wearing {{stripperiffic}} outfits and dominating people with her vampy dialog. But Canary isn't the least impressed with her because "I'm heterosexual to the bone!" [[WordOfGod Gail Simone]] stated that the original line was "seventy-five percent heterosexual", but a mix-up with the placeholder dialog replaced it.

* Characters/{{Deadpool|WadeWilson}} cracks jokes about his HoYay with people half the time, and spends the other half saying homoerotic stuff about Cable[=/=]Weasel[=/=]Spider-Man[=/=]Thor, only to immediately insist that he's straight. If this sounds contradictory, remember that this is [[{{Cloudcuckoolander}} Deadpool.]] Possibly the best example came when the Black Mamba's powers made him picture his greatest fantasy -- rubbing suntan lotion on Cable's back at the beach. "That was ''not'' my fantasy! It was you -- that Darkforce stuff planted that image in my head!"
* Seems to strike ''ComicBook/GothamCitySirens''; when Creator/PaulDini isn't writing, [[Characters/BatmanPoisonIvy Poison Ivy]] must mention how she likes guys or fall for a male plant alien or yell about how she's forever alone. Some people really can't handle the Ivy/Characters/{{Harley|QuinnTheCharacter}} relationship.
* In ''ComicBook/JusticeLeagueElite'', Menagerie insists that she's not into girls... after cuddling with Vera-Lynn Black, albeit while the latter was disguised as Deathstroke. This might be explained by the fact that she has a SplitPersonality.
* ''{{ComicBook/Wanted}}'' starts with one of these: a character who we are informed is the world's best assassin is giving a completely inexplicable monologue to a pair of male prostitutes explaining, at length, that just because he is about to have sex with them doesn't mean he's gay, [[SuspiciouslySpecificDenial far from it]], it's just that he has sex with soooooooo many women every day and every night all the time banging hot babes nonstop that he likes to occasionally bang dudes just to remind himself of how much he likes the ladies. This does not appear to be played as a gag, mind you, we are apparently meant to take this monologue at face value.
* [[Characters/HawkeyeKateBishop Kate Bishop]] has a moment of this at the end of Volume 2 of ''ComicBook/YoungAvengers'', where she wonders out loud if she's the token straight of the CastFullOfGay. America's response?

* In ''[[Recap/DoctorWhoNewAdventuresHumanNature Human Nature]]'', Alexander has a reputation as a ladies' man who values free love. Since it's 1913, this makes him a bit of a social outcast, but he doesn't seem to care. Main character Franchise/BerniceSummerfield eventually realizes that Alexander is just gay and overcompensating with his denial, and Alexander's boyfriend is very confused as to why everyone thinks that Alex is some kind of womanizing libertine.
