Clybe

Clybe is the het ship between Bebe Stevens and Clyde Donovan from the South Park fandom.

Canon
Bebe started going out with Clyde in "Clubhouses". This relationship was not looked into any further, but when Kyle tried to teach her how to throw rocks at cars in "Bebe's Boobs Destroy Society", Clyde was the only one who tried to intervene, and he was concerned that Kyle was getting in the way of the relationship. Bebe was also walking with Clyde in "Do the Handicapped Go to Hell?" and was the lone girl in the group going to confession after they saw a nude woman on the internet.

In the Season Eleven finale, "The List", Bebe was not against voting Kyle as the ugliest and voting Clyde the cutest. The reason given was that all the girls wanted discounts while shoe-shopping. As a result, she eventually started dating him again, albeit only to get free shoes from him. In "Skank Hunt", Bebe broke up with her boyfriend like the other girls because she thought Gerald's action speaked for the other boys.

In "Deep Learning" it can be seen that they got back together since a few times before the episode. In this episode Bebe tells her friends about the texts she is receiving from her boyfriend, Clyde which they all find very cute and romantic. Later when Stan ask Clyde for tips to respond Wendy's texts the way Clyde does with Bebe, Clyde tells him of an app named ChatGPT, an artificial intelligence OpenAI chatbot app, mentioning that while it can be used to do writing for its users, including poems or job applications, he uses it to copy Bebe's texts, gets a response generated from the chat app, and copies it into messages to Bebe, claiming it saves him time since she texts him so often. The next day during class, Clyde read a poem about Bebe he wrote that Cartman suspects was written using ChatGPT. However the episode concludes without showing if Bebe ever finds out about Clyde using ChatGPT to respond her texts and then is never mentioned again. However, it's likely that Clyde stopped using the IA to write poems to Bebe after he saw the consequences that it leds when Stan used it for Wendy.

Fanon
Clybe is a fairly popular ship among the fandom. It's one of the most popular pairings for both Bebe and Clyde. This ship mainly came from the canon interactions and dating, it is the most popular heterosexual ship for each of the characters, and the most popular ship in general for each of the individual characters.

The fandom usually only portrays them as a background ship, as most often they are not the main focus of the fanfictions including this ship. As there are only 20+ works with them individually, despite the fact there are over 700 fanfictions including them. Many popular headcanons for both characters go against the canon ship or makes them break up.

The fanon portrayal is either that of a relationship that is healthy despite certain hardships they may face. Other portrayals portray them as a more toxic relationship. Either way, this ship is one of the more popular South Park heterosexual ships, only being beat out by Stendy.
