In most cases, I would agree with you. In the case of Corey and Shawn, that was (and continues to be), an awful lot of touching for ANY two friends of any gender... I don't think it was meant to be as much as "look at how unnatural these boys are" as much as "look at how unnaturally close these friends are". It's an important distinction. None of the other friendships (or even most of the relationships) on the show involved as much touching.

I guess that's true...though it seemed like when Topanga said stuff like "Stop it, you're boys!" she was meant to be the "sane" one and Cory and Shawn the weird ones whose behavior was hilarious.

Plus, it's a new-ish thing that only really started happening in the '90s. There were super-close friendships on TV and in movies earlier on that didn't have any "lol they're so close gaaaay" jokes at all, so my issue with these sort of jokes isn't about offensiveness or lack thereof, it's that they're really just totally unnecessary, and also cliched. Sure, you *could* make a joke about their closeness...but why?

How do you define "awful lot of touching for friends"? In my culture, male friends even hold hands and kiss as a greeting and goodbye.

Late, but I meant, within the compounds of the show...
