This IRC conversation from a fairly large Puyo Puyo fan community snarkily refers to crack shippings being common in the fandom.

I know this because I've seen a lot of shipping images on Pixiv and even two threads on the Puyo Nexus on shipping.

I started thinking, what would be the craziest crack pairing in a setting the I can imagine?

After randomly choosing DC universe, my second thought in that setting was that crazy rubber guy superhero... My first thought of all the DC villains and heroes was of course those two Hitler clones in that on Superman comic.

So, double Hitler action with a shapeshifter made from elastic rubber! Yes, the only problem with this idea is that it just might be too sexy to handle.
No matter what happens, no matter what my last words may end up being, I want everyone to claim that they were:
"If you strike me down, I shall become more powerful than you could possibly imagine."
Aww, you guys rock. :)  I feel the love... and the pitchforks and torches.  Tingly!

Crack pairings can be absolutely fun when done right (or done wrong enough to be right)

Like... uh...

Like Garrus x Wrex.

Marvel and a toy. As for DC weird pairings? Here's a canon one: Supergirl/Superhorse.

Catalyst/Udina.
That said, I've stopped trying to anticipate what people around here want a while ago, I've found it makes things smoother.

I also ship Captain Jack Harkness (Doctor Who/Torchwood)/Ianto Jones (Torchwood/Doctor Who) and Dawn Summers (Buffy The Vampire Slayer) in a trio due to a cracky fic that was amazingly well done.

Hasn't Jack Harkness been shipped with literally everyone?

I'm pretty sure I've been shipped with him and just don't know it yet.

I just want to say: Sterek shippers crying over Dennifer is hilarious now after the latest episode of Teen Wolf.
(Sterek=Stiles & Derek, Dennifer=Derek & Jennifer)

It's even funnier for them to cry erasure and queer baiting.

True, but it was a huge fanfic with a well written plot and just so happened to have a Jack/Ianto/Dawn trio at the center of it. And she made it believable.

Was it written by Pirates Sparrow & Turner? It sound like theirs.

Nope: Here it is

I'm writing a fanfic in which I plan to ship Joan of Arc with Khalid ibn al-Walid (aka the Sword of Allah).

I have to say there is one comic pairing that will never make sense to me no matter how many times I look at it.

Wither x Elixir: I will never...ever...get this pairing. Never. The former is an outcast with the power to decay living things he touches. The latter is a golden boy (literally) who can heal anything. They are romantic rivals for the affection of a girl, they give every queue of hating one another, and Wither went on to have a relationship with an evil immortal vampire queen. And Elixir then killed him by reversing his decay power back on him. Never gonna get the Yaoi Pairing between these two.
