* AmbiguouslyGay: Oscar & Wilde. Apparently in the short lived cartoon series, there is a pair of alligator characters who give off so many clear signs that there is definitely something more to their relationship. They live together, they go on vacation together, one is never seen without the other, and there's even a scene in one episode where the two are dressed up in outfits straight out of the Village People. The kicker? Their names are [[Creator/OscarWilde Oscar and Wilde]]. It's like they were trying to see how far they could go in a children's cartoon without outright stating the fact.
