I love the Drapple ship. Draco Malfoy with an apple is based on how often he is seen with an apple in the HP books

Hooty from the Owl House and the Duolingo bird. Nuff said.

This Grinch x Tony the Tiger ship has been stalking my recommendations and I don’t know how to feel about it

_"not all shipping is or has to be romantic"_ Anytime I say those words in that combination people look at me with blank stares like I'm crazy and after enough of those I start wondering if they're right So yeah _thank you so much_ 😄 Okay watching the rest of this now

The most recent major crackship phenomenon is the jjk x disney princess ship, making me happy crackshipping has yet to fully die

Crack ships are either the most beautiful, most emotional tear jerking works of art ever concocted, or most unhinged abominations ever conceived and there is no in-between

It feels like forever since I've touched my crowning achievement of a crackship named: Skashannarcywillumityschaunter-j9. My favorite reply I've gotten remains, "You know a ship is wild when it sounds like the name of a small Welsh town."

I was waiting for you to mention Twilight x Mordecai that crack ship was so popular for a while Can we pretend that airplanes in the night sky are like shooting stars

I love how creative Crackships can get.

Shipping The Grinch with Tony the Tiger actually feels somewhat meaningful. Because Thurl Ravenscroft was the original voice actor for Tony the Tiger in the old Frosties adverts (or Frosted Flakes, as they're called in America) and he was also the singer for the iconic "You're a Mean One, Mr. Grinch" song from the Chuck Jones animated adaptation of "How The Grinch Stole Christmas".

Belos (the owl house) x Springtrap/William Afton (FNAF) always leaves me flabbergasted when I see them

Crack ships are one of the best things to happen to the internet. Where else would I find Sans being shipped with Reigen

A few weeks ago, I came up with King Magnifico x Inspector Gadget... what have i done....

Recently fell into a crack ship between my OC who is a lemon tree that hates being near plants and the limequat houseplant I adopted a week ago. It's enemies to lovers.

- Can confirm that crackships and crossover fanworks are a tale as old as online time; in the 90s/00s you had congruous video game genre characters, crossover video games ( _especially_ fighting games of the time) and the early anime boom of the late 90s, along with big event comics. This all totally transferred over to an _overflowing_ of fanfiction and fanart by folks with eager imaginations--90s and aughts anime crossovers, big multi-fandom fighting tournaments spanning dozens of chapters, literally anything involving Sonic the Hedgehog since he's always been a multiverse unto himself... ...then yeah the 10s came around and I got to watch everything _re-explode_ in the fashion you described. History repeats! - I _really_ need to watch Rise of the Guardians at some point, it's been on my list for the longest and I _know_ it's good but now I feel like I could decode all of 2010s fandom with it 😂 - "Two characters who have never interacted, hate each other, or have some other questionable relationship to one another" maaaaaay or may not comprise 90% of my shipping material 😅What can I say, the dopamine comes from the freedom and/or problem-solving opportunity! (I don't do enemies-to-lovers, but rivals-to-friends-to-lovers _is my life_ ) I guess I truly was The Crackshipping all along - Still catching up on my watch backlog, btw, meaning this is my first time seeing the new layout+sprites--I love 'em! 💚The green on Mint's dress breaks up the black of the old design real well, and the art + graphic design glow-up totally pops out from older vids. Sweet stuff.

I think Gru and Mega Mind is pretty funny lol

Now I understand why people “crackship” Lucifer and Alastor

i'm in the undertale yellow community and the ship corn yaoi is between 2 characters that only met for a minute and the only reason why we ship them is because they both like corn and that one of them has been sniffing the dirt for a whole year and the other likes to bring up the mood. i love my little skrimblos.

Nothing compares to the epic romance between DOOM! fandom and that of the Animal Crossing fandom. Edit. Have you shown Duchess Celestia this? 5 quid says she could use the laugh

AHH yes the classic tonyxgrinch ❤❤

Oh gosh, the bromance between Zuko and Shoto is real then? 🤣 I think the fun part of these kinds of crossovers is that it goes beyond the boundaries which have officially been set. Not every crackship (a term new to me until now) makes sense in my mind but given I really like crossovers and cameos, I can totally see why others like it :)

I wouldn't say this is a crackship, but the Doomslayer and Issabelle from animal crossing will forever make me laugh.

The big four fandom isn’t dead it only evolved with add more characters and universes

Crack ships are one of my favorite things in the world

The weirdest crack ships were always the ones where someone was being shipped with an inatimate object

Mary Poppins x Ms. Frizzle I take no criticism

Your partner cackling is definitely the best part of the video

personally, my favorite crack ship is William Afton and The Oncler, which is only because that is what me and my friend were for halloween and because they are both tumbler sexyman

me and my friend actually started writing a crossover crackfic yesterday and we already have our first crack ship, twilight sparkle x spongebob. there's also gonna be crazy frog x jerma985 and some other beautiful crack ships so if you're interested in that, we're gonna post it to ao3 ^^

Throughout my entire life, I've always imagined (but rarely put onto paper) what I think was my own equivalent of crackshipping: imagining fictional characters playing music from various real bands that are completely unrelated to said characters LMAO This was something that has been in my brain ever since I was a kid, for I used to imagine characters like Phineas and Ferb singing and playing David Bowie or something. And honestly, as a grown adult, I still have fun with imagining and coming up with scenarios like those lol (btw is there a community that imagines these exact scenarios that I'm unaware of?) This is sort of why, even though I don't really participate in or pay attention to crackshipping, I relate to the fun of it, for it's really entertaining to combine existing material and create something new out of it.

My personal favorite Crackship is one I made up, and it's the Reboot Version of Wally Darling x Ankha from AC. This is bc they're both from popular "cropped 🌽" memes in their own respective Fandoms. (Also their color schemes match)

Crackships are incredible, art like this is why AI will never replace us, the human creativity to draw 2 completely unrelated fictional characters together is amazing, I’ve been getting myself into drawing crackships and it’s so fun, please do not let the whole “cringe” of it get to y’all, this stuff is fun, my personal favorite crackship is Super Mario X Remilia Scarlet

I too have a crack-lationship.

That's the best birthday gift to ever make the wish come true to someone, still pretty good piece! Crackships can be a lot of fun and enjoying, take your favourite character's and have fun, just don't go too far (especially on the NSFW world), that's all!

While I don't really encounter crachships, I do love crossovers. It is so cool to see two different universes interacting. Like I've been a fan of Stargate for my entire life. To see Stargate interact with Star Trek would be great. It would be awesome to see O'Neil or Sheppard interact with Kirk, or Pike. Or Picard trying to be diplomatic while Caldwell like "Eh, let's just nuke it" Also, watching the Daedalus cleave the Enterprise in half would be hilarious. The Trekies would lose their minds

Pff i frikin love most crack ships! for some reason they can be the most fun! (One ive come up with, was shipping Beetlejuice with the character Stretch from the show and movie Casper dont judge me i think it would be funny and cute!) 🤣✨

Quite the intro

The earliest crackship that I'm aware of goes back to Kirk/Spock slash fiction from the original Star Trek fandom. My favorite crackship is probably MordeTwi (Twilight Sparkle from My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic with The Regular Show's Mordecai).

Brickson is my life. Jason Grace got hit with a brick once and they are being shipped. Beautiful.

I remember being about 14 on deviantart and getting bombarded with hate because I shipped Sonic and Eggman as a joke I didn't even draw this ship, i just mentioned it would be funny to ship them and everyone got mad at me lmao

I've thought of a crack-ship in my mind since you talked about this, and it's called Bared. A ship between Bart Thumper aka The Evil Guff from Grizzly Tales for Gruesome Kids, and Red McAuthur from South Park. I have no regrets.

I would say a sign of true affection, to spend hours talking about something completely off the wall and weird but still have fun. Friend or partner, just the memories and jokingly wondering why your around the person when a strange topic comes up, like a crackship.

The one crackship that took the internet like a storm Twilight and Mordecai. Was the one that i like to meme personally. Same with Sans and Negito, Jimmy and Timmy and this is cringe but the weird harry potter crossover with twilight its weird but so funny.

Herbie the Love Bug x Chitty Chitty Bang Bang! Both are famous movie cars from different movies, from different studios, and I grew up watching both movies, so I thought of a crossover name/ship name called: Herbie Herbie Bang Bang!

Anything involving Ranma 1/2 that series was one of the pioneers of crossover fan fiction and sooo many ships were born of that nexus of crossovers.

I love how your partner’s immediate response to your question was just “This is art!” Rain is a person of culture, I see 😂

Tony the tiger is killing it in that dress!

Fandomstuck next please!

Hi!!

The most recent c-ship i seen was Jessie x Delia Ketchum.

"Tatsumaki from One Punch Man explains the wacky world of crackships" is not something i expected to see in my recommendations but here we are

What did you ask me to make? Art Priceless, I'll take 10 to go please

The thing that made me realize how much I enjoyed crackships was Tomodachi Life, that game's an absolute GOLDMINE of crack pairings once you put in enough characters from different pieces of media. For example, one of the first married couples in my old save file from all the way back in 2015 was Luka Megurine (from Vocaloid) and Bowser (from Super Mario). Granted you CAN say no to miis getting together, but where's the fun in that?

Happy birthday to your partner! I hope they enjoyed their present. :D

I am so glad you touched upon the character study and analysing aspect! I've done this so much since my pre teen phase, I always liked to pair and compare characters from different fandoms Story time! One of this pairings was Applejack from My Little Pony and Sanji from One Piece. I just connected them for being blond, cooking for the team, using kicking as their fighting style... I started shipping them kinda to annoy other people on a forum and see their reactions, but I loved to imagine how they would interact in a more honest way. Eventually, I just created 2 OCs based on them and it's when they were allowed to develop as their own thing. It's been what, 10 years? Gosh! And I still use this OCs for role play with my friends! They had children, they are way older now, they are even divorced, so much happened... But the entertainment we got from figuring all our characters out in a collective story was always worth it, and I wouldn't have these two if it wasn't for my annoying 12 year old self and her obsession with anime and ponies, haha

So THAT'S what they're called! I came across a couple in my early days on the internet.

I'm not much of a crack shipper, but the art I've seen for Johnny Bravo/Samurai Jack is insanely good. Like why have I not thought of this before good. XD

I got a good one for artists. Roadblock from GI Joe and Carmilla Carmine from Hazbin Hotel.

I saw someone make a gif of Rise of the TMNT Leo and Ace Bunny from Loonatics Unleashed together, and I have already drawn screenshot edits of the two into scenes in Helluva Boss 🤣💀 Anyways I just like the idea of crack shipping its just really funny to me and I am going to figure out other go0d combinations.

Hoo boy, I could go on for hours of what kind of pairings I’ve made. I even refer to this personal story of mine as The Act Out Story as the name implies: acting out all the characters and making a plot as I go along. Most of the shippings involve the slasher characters friends or in relationships with other characters from other series that to the outsider wouldn’t mesh but to me, I look at it as being creative and playing around with how they can work. Mostly the relationship themes I would say follow the opposites attract approach. Two completely different people finding common ground, how it plays out for them to mesh either as friends or lovers and what not. Granted, the villains can become good guys while others stay villains. Basically, my own personal way of expressing myself without embarrassment while still developing story skills if not actually writing the story down, but keeping notes of plot points and character sheets. Ironic though how I wanted to make this an actual thing despite the feedback not being positive let alone accepted cause these characters are who they are and you can’t change that to fit your own little world (which I completely understand), and all before crossovers we’re becoming more mainstream, only to not become interesting once it does spread out further. Sad as that might be. At least it eventually led me to be open to making my own characters that are inspired by them somehow. BTW, if any one wants me to list what mine have been if curious, that’s fine.

I love crack ships. The ones I ship is Roxas(KH) and Dark Pit (Kid Icarus)/ Princess Belle and Aurora lol it's just fun^^

My sister and I once came up with a crackship between Beerus from Dragon Ball and The Spot from Spiderverse while messing w our figurines

my current crack ship is a centaurworld situation where both character are of the same species but character 1 is Realistic and Grounded and character 2 is Absurd and Surreal

Finally, I had some time to watch this funny video and late happy birthday to your partner.

I was about to agree that crackshipping has been on a sharp decline but then I remembered the recent Disney/JJK crossover on TikTok and how much everyone was loving that and despite not being into JJK or on TikTok, that instance gave me hope that the chaotic, creative days of 2010s fandom might someday make a return

9:00 Reminds me of the gatekeepers telling the general public that character X from BG3 is this and that orientation and therefor not for all the rest

This was a fascinating video and it made me realize that I actually ship some random ideas. My particular favorite is Kiteman and Magpie from DC comics, I just think it’s a neat idea lol.

Carackships are one of my favourite things! They bring me so much joy. While not exactly a crackship as it is a crossover ship based in cannon, my favourite is Jimmy Neutron x Timmy Turner - especially aged up. I just find them relatable and enjoy the autism x adhd dynamic and seeing them figuring out how to navigate adulthood and growing up. Bonus points if the fic also has Danny Phantom and SpongeBob in reference to the nicktoons unite games (despite the fact that I never played them). Second favourite goes to Bowuigi (be careful with some of the fic tho bc some people really like torturing Luigi and not tagging everything)

I once had a crackship between Miriam from the popular indie game Bloodstained & Count Duckula from the cartoon of the same name as the character (well technically he comes from Danger Mouse but I used the 1988 version of the character for this ship)

It's all your fault! You inspired me to write my first Ranma 1/2 fanfic, based on the idea of a Nabiki/Shampoo crackship. Let me know if you'd like a look. It's a little saucy, but I promise it's not actually dirty!

This was very entertaining :D The cackle when you mentioned Megamind and Omniman was just... pure gold X'D Unfortunately, there's a vast noisy minority who wish to label anyone who does shipping *at all* as... well, you know, you've talked about it before. It's a common accusation now for just about anyone who is viewed in any way as not fitting a particular mould - we don't understand you, therefore you are a **** - they don't even have to offer proof now, people just accept it as fact... Anyway... this was a very enjoyable video, quite enjoyed the perspective :D

Awesome video, though slightly disappointed that Mordetwi did get mentioned, haha, but regardless, fantastic takes thank you!

I have Sloth from pusheen as a plushie and a King Dice plushie and my Sloth has velcro hands that cuff together but because I lost the pusheen mini plush he came with, i added my King Dice to him and now it looks like Sloth is giving him a hug and every time I look at them, I always look at them as a couple and imagine them together 😭. Its not even like I actually do ship them because Dice x Devil is superior but i just think its funny

One crackship I kind of wanted to see happen was Grasper, Greg x Jasper from Steven Universe. I think they would have an interesting interaction with each other and could help each other branch out.

Live laugh love crackships🫶🫶

I’m a sucker for crackships and I have two I created. One is a bit weird as it features a cut character with a character from a web series while the other one is Michael Afton and Miyuki/Cure Happy (Emily/Glitter Lucky) from Smile Precure/Glitter Force.

When I saw the finished art my head immediately played careless whisper

I am not a fan of the shipping fandom due to a lot of the negative baggage, but I will admit, the Crackships based on VA's comments and relationships is adorable. More wholesome and less shipping wars, please.

When I think of crackships my first thought is Shrek and Shadow. Though Shrek and Spongebob is a close second. One I’ve seen recently is Garfield and Squidward. Also I remember Nickelodeon did a crackship of Lisa and Naruto in the old nick magazine.

I think I have one too now •^• Dalv (from Undertale Yellow) and Streber (from Spooky Month)

One of my absolute favorite crack ships is Linebeck (LoZ: Phantom Hourglass) and Ganondorf (Loz: Ocarina of Time), specifically within the Super Smash Bros universe. I could explain how I came to ship these two characters, but that's for another time, lol. Fantastic video, as always! I'm glad to see a video that paints crackshipping in a positive light instead of "LOL CRINGE". Also, that was a beautiful timelapse!

OMFG I READ THE TONY THE TIGER X THE GRINCH FIC LAST WEEK

I think the first crack ship I ever encountered was back the good old days of KZfaq when people would make sprite animations of characters in media (mostly of Sonic) going on wacky adventures. One KZfaqr (who I forgot the name of) decided to make sprite animations of Blaze the Cat and Spider-Man as a married couple with kids! Why he decided to ship these two together, I have no idea, but younger me was oddly entertained by it.

my friend loves ebony dark’ness dementia raven way and hatsune miku, and i drew fanart of them for her birthday!

My personal crackship is Lapis Lazuli from Steven Universe and Chicken from Cow & Chicken. (Golly I REALLY hope nobody makes TONS of fanart or AMVs of THAT one making it into a meme on par with mordetwi!) 👀

Barnaby from Billie Bust Up and Cloud Retainer (or Xianyun) from Genshin Impact, because both of them are birds, sorta

There’s definitely a lack in crackships via official networks due to licensing and social politics. Back in my day we got jimmy neutron doggin on Trixie tang while Velma fizzed up Johnny Bravo. Imagine Netflix indulging in their originals. There would be utter chaos shipping anything

one time back around deltarune chapter 2 came out i drew an image of mettaton and spamton dancing together because of their connection with the secret boss fight and such and i was. i was doing this in class so my teacher looked over and was like "what are you drawing" and i just had no idea how to tell her. tbh i should redraw it at some point. anyway my favorite crackship is shipping all of the narrators from any given media together (especially narrators from games and also sgt frog). so many have similar personalities and they would clash so hard with each other so i think they should kiss sloppy style to make up

Twilight Sparkle X Mordecai Shrek x Shadow Those are the two infamous I'm familiar with XD

Sometimes it feels like any time two characters have a single conversation with each other, a crackship is born.

As someone who ships an Among Us impostor with a Fall Guys bean, I approve of crackships.

My First on Crack Ship(Platonic as partners in solving crimes) , that I made is Jessica Fletcher from Murder She Wrote x Detective Colombo from Colombo and Ojciec Mateusz Migrocki from Ojciec Mateusz(The Polish Detective series based on Don Matello). Idk how I did came out with it, but Im quite fan of it, Since I grow up on these series

ClarVee is my favourite crackship even tho it has evolved into clarveesha after Thanks to Them. Owl house shipping is something special.

I love crackships so much especially Jelsa and Mordetwi.

Sans x Komaeda or Sans x Reigen are crackships that is known and popular. My favorite one is Azul Ashengrotto x Eridan Ampora. One is from Twisted Wonderland and the other is Homestuck.

Great channel

8.05. You made me laugh 😂

i have many crackships but i don't think any of them are media people outside of certain communities would recognize (most of them are musical theatre)

Me and my friend tried to figure out the dumbest possible ship and he came up with Puss in Boots X Tracer. Golden crack ship, I've yet to see it toppled.

I'm currently making a crack ship of Kakarot, Naruto, Ichigo, Ruby Rose, Peni Parker, Ben, Albedo and Steven Universe. Yes, it's insane amd pretty tasking to get all their personalities and creating scenerios where they all shine through as best as I'm able to make them.
