Ho Yay / Inside Job (2021)

Go To

Inside Job (2021) has a decent amount of this from its male characters.


  • Myc and Andre form a Those Two Guys pairing and tend to hang out often, which goes so far as for the two to excitedly anticipate in engaging in orgies. Andre even contracts mushroom herpes in "Blue Bloods" from the massive Lizard-people orgy, and its unclear whether Myc gave it to him directly and that Andre was too intoxicated to remember.
    • In "My Big Flat Earth Wedding", Myc pushes Andre's face closer to him so he can lick his secretions off of his skin to get him high. The entire time, Myc is giggling and encouraging him while Andre is visibly sweating, and while its meant to get Andre high enough to find Reagan, it certainly looks as sexual as it sounds.
    • Also, earlier in the scene, Andre found one of Myc's amputated tentacles to suck the chemical from directly, which was mentioned in an earlier episode to be one of Myc's penises. And Myc said this explicitly to Andre.
  • Brett's ploys for positive attention from men in his life certainly can be interpreted in a romantic lens, particularly his interest in Rafe Masters, in which he goes above and beyond to follow him around and help him discover Reagan's "murderer". It definitely plays out like a one-sided crush.
    • In "Blue Bloods" Brett insists that his college frat brothers both haze him to get him further into the frat, which involves stripping down to nothing and getting spanked with a paddle while trapped in a pillory. He also seems to be way too calm about it.
  • Rafe himself has this with his Sissy Villain archnemesis Dr. Skullfinger in perhaps the most overt example. Other characters note how the Foe Yay Shipping dynamic looks from the outside, as Rafe and Skullfinger both exchange innuendoes, and, later, Skullfinger even relates to Reagan as if they are both talking about the same toxic ex-boyfriend. Later on he realizes that he and Rafe are "meant to be" and the two engage in their hero/villain dynamic, with Skullfinger describing burning off Rafe's testicles and Rafe sounding far too happy about it. To make it stranger, Andre decides to sit and watch.
  • Glenn seems to both envy and lust after Brett. on occasion. He is attracted to Brett according to Myc (though he fervently denies it), and supposedly has had sexual fantasies involving all of his coworkers. When Glenn switches bodies with Brett, he describes himself in Brett's body as "Fox News anchor beautiful".
  • J.R. and Rand are described as having a sordid history already, and when Rand threatens to expose that J.R. has a weird looking dick, J.R.'s only response is that they both have weird dicks, which directly implies that they've been in a situation where they've seen each other's penises. Make of that what you will.
    • Downplayed as Part 2 reveals that they discovered they each have weird looking dicks when they were in a communal university dorm shower, but that doesn't necessarily mean they haven't been in raunchy situations afterward.
