* ''ComicBook/DoomPatrol'': The Brain and Monsure Mallah are one of the weirdest pairings ever. They are a BrainInAJar and a super intelligent talking gorilla. Since the Brain used to be human, it's a case of bestiality. Of course, since the Brain lacks a true body, their relationship is physically unable to involve actual sex, thankfully.

Unfortunate Names is now IUEO, the work must acknowledge the name is bad. If an example doesn't have that context it's getting deleted


** Another one is between Silvietta, a dunnock studying at college, and Enrico la Talpa, a mole who's married and old enough to be her father. This qualifies as crack, and not as something worse, because it's one-sided on Enrico's side (Silvietta barely tolerates him) and the result of a gag about the [[UnfortunateNames unfortunate Italian name of the dunnock species]].[[note]]The Italian name for dunnock is "passera scopaiola", literally meaning "sweeping sparrow" due the tail sweeping the terrain when the bird walks... But also being a euphemism for ''"vagina that has a lot of sex"''[[/note]]

* The ''Webcomic/{{Aurora}}'' fandom has two of these that are extremely popular in their own circles: one is Collectolon (The Collector x Dr. Jolon), stemming from their similar mad scientist tendencies (Despite the fact that they have never canonically met). The other, Pompous Nitwits Squared, ships Erin Ruunaser with ''one of his irl kinnies''. (Note that this ship has the approval of both said kinnie, who finds it amusing, and her boyfriend.)

* ComicBook/{{Loki}} from the [[Comicbook/TheMightyThor Thor]] comics/movie rapes and tortures Sam Winchester from ''Series/{{Supernatural}}''. There is an in-verse explanation for why Sam is there, but this is still completely cracktastic. The fact that it has ''good reviews'' and multiple chapters [[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/7184197/3/Untold_Power is even more disturbing.]]
* In Roleplay/DCNation, WordOfGod states the entire in-game universe came about due to a crack ship. The universe started as a varient strand of Hypertime (the old DC concept of a multi-verse) that kept attracting variences and it was easy for characters to find themselves in alternate realities. Starfire found a lover in one of these off-shoot realities and brought him home. The lucky gent is a version of Creator/HugoWeaving who had been fated to die in a car accident, but instead ended up in the equivalent of multi-verse's train stop cafe. After he arrived, the universe threw up its proverbial hands trying to make this strand of reality fit with mainline DC, thus creating its own world. (It also makes all those comic book movies that much more amusing to the players.)

Crack pairings range from the making-you-scratch-your-head-in-puzzlement weird, to the [[{{Squick}} gouging-your-own-eyes-out-with-a-fork]] weird. But they always leave you asking "WHY WOULD ANYBODY THINK THESE TWO BELONGED TOGETHER?!" But interestingly, some fandoms don't have genuine crack pairings -- it's true that they end up with FoeYay and weirdness, but none of their pairings seem to freak people out. This can be down to a small cast, or any pairing seeming plausible by now.

Note that when characters are given some kind of relationship, no matter how unhealthy, insane, or weird their relationship is, it's no longer a true crack pairing. Contrast with HoYay, FoeYay, NoYay, MayDecemberRomance, OldManMarryingAChild, InterspeciesRomance, DidYouJustRomanceCthulhu, {{Twincest}}, BrotherSisterIncest, and even ParentalIncest for examples of ships which you may find weird but which are '''not''' crack pairings as long as they have basis in canon.

* The Archie ''ComicBook/ArchieComicsSonicTheHedgehog'' comics had a joke scene where [[SociopathicHero Omega]] acted like he was practically falling in love with [[ActionGirl Blaze]] after [[AmazonChaser he saw her using her fire powers to blow stuff up]] (which also acted as his SugarWiki/{{Funny Moment|s}}). Ian Flynn said that this was just a joke and there wasen't any possible relationship there. Unfortunately for Flynn, the fans fell in love with it. For context, Omega (full name E-123 Omega) is one of Dr. Eggman's robots bent on revenge against the doc, and Blaze the Cat is a princess from a dimension on turmoil with no time for romance. Archie would later publish a [[http://i1.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/original/000/854/021/fb2.jpg Valentine's Day varient cover]] that depicted characters from the series, asking readers "Who do YOU ship?". A pre-drawn line already connects Omega to Blaze, much to her chagrin.

Those Two Bad Guys is replaced by Bumbling Henchmen Duo with a slightly different definition, as per this thread.


** Their most infamous and popular ship is easily ''[[VideoGame/PunchOut King Hippo]]/[[VideoGame/KidIcarus Eggplant Wizard]]'', based on the two being ThoseTwoBadGuys in ''WesternAnimation/CaptainNTheGameMaster''. Worse yet, there's actually a stunning amount of evidence for it in canon.

** [[UpToEleven Made even crazier]] by the fact that trolls have ''four different kinds'' of romance ([[http://mspaintadventures.wikia.com/wiki/Quadrants explained here]]). This means you can pair one character off with multiple others and not have it be an instance of YourCheatingHeart, and that a ''very'' wide variety of things can become shipping fodder.

See CrossoverShip for shipping characters who don't belong to the same [[TheVerse verse]]. See CargoShip for shipping objects. Compare with ShipsThatPassInTheNight.

ShipsThatPassInTheNight, which is closely related but isn't quite a subtrope, as it's not at all uncommon for ships that have little basis to be played seriously, due to fans filling in holes or reading into subtext to guess that they'd hit it off. Generally, a CrackPairing is one that makes no sense even if you assume they ''do'' know each other.

** A tongue-in-cheek theory cropped up in certain circles that the true identity of the Witch-King of Angmar [[SamusIsAGirl was actually]] [[Literature/TheSilmarillion Tar-Míriel]], the last Queen of Númenor. Not long after the theory was formed, [[https://archiveofourown.org/tags/Éowyn*s*Tar-Míriel/works people began shipping her]] with Eacute;owyn.
** Glorfindel/Erestor. Who's Erestor? He's an elf at the Council of Elrond, apparently the master of Elrond's house, who has about five lines in the whole book. His only contribution to the discussion is suggesting giving it to Tom Bombadil, which Gandalf and Glorfindel shoot down as a bad idea. However, between Erestor being an easy OCStandIn (since all we know is that he's a fairly important elf), the fandom's love of elven nobles and courtly drama, and a desire to give an EnsembleDarkhorse a love interest that didn't get in the way of any other pairings, it became Glorfindel's default ship. This isn't a small ship, either; on Website/ArchiveOfOurOwn, it's in fifth place for book canon fics, going above canon pairings like Eacute;owyn/Faramir and Elrond/Celebrian, and even outclassing popular gay pairings with main characters and [[HoYay some level of canon support]] like Aragorn/Legolas, Aragorn/Boromir, or Merry/Pippin. Not bad for two characters so minor that they were AdaptedOut of the movies.

* "Oncest" is perhaps the most infamous thing to come out of ''WesternAnimation/TheLorax'', a pairing between the Once-Ler, the VillainProtagonist of the film's flashback portions, and... [[ScrewYourself the Once-Ler again]], after he went JumpingOffTheSlipperySlope. More or less, it was the result of a character who had a major-league EstrogenBrigade immediately after the film's release, but also didn't have any good shipping options (and [[JustHereForGodzilla the fandom didn't care about any of the other characters in the film anyway]]), along with askblog culture being pretty significant at the time. Notably, it's not just a ship with a few followers, but a full-fledged FanPreferredCouple, and probably the first thing anyone remembers about the film's fandom.
