When a character, usually a male one, ends up enacting, complimenting, or acknowledging another man's sexuality. A split second later he will become alarmed at how incredibly gay they sounded just then, and will make a special Have I Mentioned I Am Heterosexual Today? effort in order to re-affirm how he is totally not gay. There is some Values Dissonance in some circles, as it's becoming more common to think this offensive to homosexuals since, after all, there's not supposed to be anything wrong with that. The main hallmark of this trope is that it's a deliberate act with a non-sexual instigator, though often an unconscious one which only becomes "gay" when the character looks back and realize what he sounded like. Contrast Stupid Sexy Flanders, which does have a sexual instigator. This trope is oddly less common with women, where such compliments can exist without implying that the speaker is a lesbian—even though she may still be amiable to Three-Way Sex later. See also Accidental Hug, Accidental Kiss, That Came Out Wrong. Compare & contrast Gay Bravado, where a straight guy uses this kind of thing specifically to affirm his heterosexuality. This trope is often one of the greatest sources of Ho Yay. |

In For the Love of the Gods, Rapunzel passively mentions that she tried kissing Merida once to see why people like kissing so much, only to get slapped in the face for her troubles. | |

Tobias in Arrested Development is full of these, to the point where Michael tells him to record himself for a whole day and listen to it. He does so, and concludes that Michael was criticising him for being a Large Ham. Or as he puts it, a "blowhard"... | |

While J.D. and Turk in Scrubs usually don't care about showing their love for each other, there is one episode where J.D. makes mention to one time where Elliot's boyfriend got drunk and accidentally climbed into his bed instead of hers, gave JD a kiss on the cheek and said "Hello, lover" while putting his arms around him. The mostly asleep JD responded with "Mmmm... tender." Back to the present, JD is explaining to Turk that anyone who woke up that way would let out a pleasure moan no matter who the other person was (plus Keith was "a decent kisser"). Then Turk recalls a similar incident in college, and JD says something like "Who drunkenly climbed into your bed and kissed you?" Suddenly both their expressions change to mild horror as JD's voiceover says something about them having repressed that memory for years and they quietly agree not to hang out for a couple of weeks. There's also the subversion with the "Guy Love" song in My Musical. It's played straight when JD sings the line "He's the only man who's ever been inside of me!" Turk immediately clarifies that he just took out JD's appendix. Apparently, the rest of the song was just fine, though. |

Happens all the time in The Fairly Oddparents; unless Everyone Is Bi, it's safe to call Rule of Funny. Timmy Turner's Dad deserves special mention, though, since his life is basically one long sequence of Gay Moments. |

The (occasional) homoerotic tension between Al and Jefferson on Married... with Children. In one episode, Jefferson hugs Al in gratitude. A stronger, because more mutual, example, occurs in another episode when Al happens to graze Jefferson's hand when they're sitting next to each other on the couch. They gaze into each others' eyes for a moment; then they catch themselves and start talking, in a much lower register, about the Chicago Bears' prospects for the season. Earlier, between Al and Steve when they're mistaken for a gay couple: |

In the musical 13 two characters go to kiss the same girl, she moves suddenly, they kiss each other... and there's an awkward moment before they turn away. Depending on the version you see, they act manly afterward, to counteract the kiss. | |

The anime Death Note added in a scene of L and Light drenched from the rain and the latter receiving a foot massage from L out of the blue. Aside from it being biblically symbolic, the scene is depicted almost as if L has a foot fetish and even makes Light cry out. | |

In The Boondocks, one of Riley's catchphrases is, "Nigga, you gay!". Used both literally (when a gay moment happens) and as a pejorative. Especially funny with Ed Wuncler III and Gin Rummy, who can't seem to decide if they are Heterosexual Life-Partners or just won't admit their sexuality to themselves. In Season 3, Riley adds "No homo" when he says anything that might be considered gay. He adds "Pause" to give others (mostly Granddad) a chance to add "no homo" to save themselves from being Mistaken for Gay before he mocks them. |

El Goonish Shive, being a transformation webcomic has an unusual subverted example of this. Elliot and Susan both have their genders flipped and upon prompting by Sarah (Elliot's girlfriend) admits Susan's male form is hot. Tedd (also gender flipped) calls him out on this and Elliot defends his statement by pointing out he is currently wearing a skirt and has boobs so he is not going to start worrying about his manly image now. | |

In the Yu-Gi-Oh Abridged Movie Yusei and the Pharaoh seem to find each other equally cool (And Jaden equally sucky) and keep complimenting each other before with Careless Whisper playing in the background before breaking it up with "No homo". Subverted at the end when Yusei asks "No homo, right?" and the Pharaoh replies with "ALL OF THE HOMO"! | |

Happens occasionally on How I Met Your Mother, such as when Ted describes to Barney (through song) his plans for an amazing 'Super Date'. By the end of the song, both Barney and Ted are noticeably caught up in all of the romance, and go to a strip club to shake it off. Not to mention the episode where Barney and Marshall spend all day pretending to be a girl (through text) to make Ted fall in love with them and then end up arguing over which of them Ted would most likely be in love with. |

Friends: Chandler tells Ross, "I'd miss you if I broke up with you." Ross asks why he said that, and Chandler says he's just trying to be supportive. Ross says, "Well, be supportive like a guy." Joey and Chandler have a ton of these over the course of the series, including the time Chandler asks "hey, do we hug too much?" and the episodes in which Joey's decision to move out of their apartment was jokingly played like a romantic breakup. Ross and Joey also have one in "The One With the Nap Partners," for obvious reasons. Chandler even sort of has one with his father-in-law Jack when he accidentally sits on his lap in a really steamy steam room...while they're both naked. |
