- Subverted:
- Alice and Carol watch, grinning, as Bob and Dan kiss… but it turns out the girls were looking past them at something else.
- Alice and Carol are ecstatic when Bob and Dan kiss… though not because they're two guys. Alice and Carol are ecstatic because they're Shippers on Deck for Bob and Dan, who have had Unresolved Sexual Tension for ages—Everyone Could See It, but they Would Not Spit It Out.
- Double Subverted:
- Alice and Carol were looking past Bob and Dan… at Evan and Fred.
- Alice and Carol are estatic at Bob and Dan's kiss because they're shippers… thought Carol leans over and whispers to Alice, "I never really thought about it before, but guys kissing is really hot." Alice agrees.

- Averted:
- There are no gays.
- Bob and Dan are never depicted kissing, let alone having sex.
- Bob and Dan make out, and it's not treated as more or less hot than anyone else doing the same.
- Enforced: Fanservice!
- Lampshaded: "Check it out! Bob and Dan are gonna make out! Let's all stare and tell no one in particular how hot it is!"
- Invoked: Bob starts making out with Dan to get Alice's attention.
- Exploited: Evan needs to sneak past Alice, so Bob and Dan start making out in front of her so she'll be Distracted by the Sexy.
- Defied: Bob and Dan save making out for when they have some privacy.
- Discussed:Alice: Bob and Dan are making out!
Carol: Sweeeeeet. - Conversed: "Why is it that whenever two attractive male characters even so much as make eye contact for more than a second, all the fangirls start writing Slash Fics about them?"
- Deconstructed:
- Bob rapes Dan and still it's hot for Alice and Carol.
- Alice has to be The Peeping Tom—it's harder than it sounds trying to get gays to make out while you're there.
- The gays are UGLY.
- Because everyone thinks guy on guy is hot, Bob is afraid to come out for fear that everyone will just think he's looking for attention.
- Reconstructed:
- It's not rape, it's surprise sex or role playing.
- Bob introduces Alice to a pair of gay exhibitionists.
- Gay characters that aren't ugly are introduced.
- Plotted A Good Waste:
- After getting fed up with people leering at them, Bob and Dan put on a deliberate show to draw in as many of those people as possible, then deliberately move into carefully orchestrated Squick territory so that the onlookers are completely grossed out and it's their own fault. May or may not be one person who finds what they saw to be even hotter than the normal makeouts.
- It is a continuity where there's a Cast Full of Gay… or at least bi.

- Bob and Dan have a lot of trouble finding somewhere they can be affectionate without spectators enjoying it.
- Played For Drama:

- Double Standard: Rape, Male on Male.
- Darker and Edgier: Alice is so obsessed with guy-on-guy action that she violently forces Bob and Dan to have sex.
- Lighter and Softer: Bob and Dan are voluntary homosexuals. Alice watches, which only encourages them.
