Ah, the world of shippings. The land of fandom where fans pour their hearts and souls into pairing up their favorite characters, whether they're from TV shows, movies, or books. Sometimes, these pairings make sense. Sometimes, they're downright ridiculous. And then there are those pairings that are so bad, they're good. Here at The Wibble, we've scoured the depths of fandom to bring you the top-10 hilariously awful shippings in history.
Harry Potter and Moaning Myrtle You may think that Harry and Ginny were meant to be, but true Harry Potter shippers know that the real love story was between Harry and Moaning Myrtle. Sure, she's a ghost who haunts the bathroom, but that just makes the relationship all the more interesting. Plus, she's already seen Harry naked, so there won't be any awkward surprises.
Squidward and Spongebob Who lives in a pineapple under the sea? Spongebob Squarepants, of course. But who does he really belong with? Squidward, of course. These two have been frenemies for years, but we all know that there's something more there. Maybe it's the way they bicker like an old married couple, or maybe it's the way that Squidward secretly admires Spongebob's enthusiasm for life. Either way, we ship it.
Batman and The Joker Good vs. evil? More like love vs. hate. Batman and The Joker have had a tumultuous relationship for years, but we think that's just been masking their true feelings. The Joker may want to destroy Gotham, but he's also got a soft spot for the Caped Crusader. And we all know that Batman loves a good challenge, and there's nobody more challenging than The Joker. Plus, think of the children: Bat-Joker babies would be adorable.
Spongebob and Patrick We know what you're thinking: Spongebob and Patrick are just friends. But when you really think about it, they're the perfect match. They know everything about each other, they're always there for each other, and they live together in a pineapple. Sure, some may argue that they're just bros, but we think there's something more there. Maybe it's just the way that Patrick looks at Spongebob when he's not looking. Either way, we ship it.
Bella and Charlie Swan Sure, Bella may have fallen in love with Edward, but we think that she could have had a great life with a certain other Swan. That's right, we're talking about Bella's dad, Charlie. He's a good man with a steady job and a lot of love to give. Plus, he's already deeply invested in Bella's life, so it would save her the trouble of introducing him to her family.
Doctor Who and the Tardis The Doctor may have had many companions over the years, but we all know that his true love is the Tardis. She's been with him through thick and thin, she's saved his life countless times, and she's always ready for a good adventure. Plus, you can't beat the convenience of having your significant other also be your mode of transportation.
Jon Snow and Ghost Sure, Jon Snow had a few love interests on Game of Thrones, but we think that he really belongs with a certain furry friend. That's right, we're talking about Jon's direwolf, Ghost. They've been through so much together, and Ghost has always been there for Jon, no matter what. It may be unconventional, but we think that they could make it work.
Loki and Thor Brotherly love takes on a whole new meaning with Thor and Loki. There's always been a bit of tension between these two, but we think that it's all just sexual tension. They may be gods, but they're not immune to a little brotherly love. Plus, Thor already has a hammer, so he's ready for anything that Loki has to offer.
Katniss and Primrose Everdeen We know what you're thinking: Katniss and Primrose are sisters, that's just gross. But hear us out. They've been through so much together, and they've always had each other's backs. Plus, they're both strong, independent women who don't need a man to complete them. We think that they could have a great life together, hunting in the woods and taking care of each other.
Darth Vader and Jar Jar Binks Okay, hear us out on this one. We know that everybody hates Jar Jar Binks, but we think that he could be the key to unlocking Darth Vader's heart. They're both misunderstood characters who just want to be loved. Plus, think of the kids: Jar Jar and Darth babies would be the cutest things in the galaxy.
