Description
As much as I hate shipping wars, I also hate ship-teases.What's a "ship-tease"?: It's a hint that you think that couple you were rooting for to be Canon (like when they kiss or get married); But it turns out to be nothing but a cruel joke the creators made to rub it in the shippers' faces.
Examples:
*In "Spongebob Truth or Square," all of the Spandy shippers were excited that they thought that Spongebob and Sandy were finally gonna get married, but the wedding turned to be nothing but a play
*When the Archie fans poll on "Who Should Archie Marry" came up; Lots of people voted Archie to be with Betty (mostly cause the comics gave out a major hint in one of the comics). But when the spin-off series of Archie and friends as adults were finally published, Archie ended up marrying Veronica.
*And most recently, in "The Looney Tunes Show," there was an episode that I heard had Bugs and Lola getting married.
But did they actually got married? Nope! Instead the writers made Lola cut off the wedding and ran of with Pepe Le Pew!
Where the hell did that came from!?
Lola never showed any feelings toward Pepe or vise versa. And those two never inter-acted.
Sure it might've made the AcexLexi pairing (Loonatics Unleashed) seem less incest (what it was rumored to be because of BugsxLola)
But Lexi hates Piere (the human "desencdant" of Pepe), and can you imagine how gross she would be if she finds out that her ancestor fell in love with a foul-smeling pervert of a skunk.

I knew about that some time ago.

So if Lola is with Pepe, does that mean Bugs will be with Penelope Pussycat? I hope not

No. Bugs is just single.

maybe the pokeshipping hints were ship teases

It's actually true. Because Pokeshipping wasn't even brought up in the Japanese dub, just the English 4Kids dub.

Really? I know that there are SOME Japanese hints.

There was also another episode of SpongeBob where Sandy faints from eating raw chum and SpongeBob takes off his helmet and takes a deep breath... Then he feeds her a krabby patty

Why, of course, that's true. In "Haunt of the Night of Blacker Darkness", Peter Possum and Doris Deer went out on a date together, but Peter had to keepΒ leaving as Pith Possum to catch some crooks. By the end of the short, he read a note from Doris that she would date Pith Possum from now on, and not Peter. It was pretty sad when Peter believed that Doris would never go out with him again, and it broke my heart when he started crying like crazy. Although "Haunt of the Night of Blacker Darkness" is my favorite "Pith Possum" segment from "The Shnookums and Meat Funny Cartoon Show", it made me almost lose faith in Doris Deer, which most of you guys out there know that a cartoon woman is usually a bit of a snob. Plus, what do you think of my "One Crazy Road Trip" story and my first new avatar of Doris Deer?

May I use this, and I agree with the SpongeBob one, it made me so mad, cause I used to like sandy, though once I saw spandy, I never liked sandy anymore, though I still like Spongebob

I mean pepe! Wow character fail but you see my point

Agree with you on sooooo many levels! Looney tunes show really pisses me off! There's no way in hell that the real Lola likes Pierre!

But if there weren't ship teases pairings would be boring. If the pairings got together right away with no substance or anything then I think people would lose interest rather quickly.
Also, ship teases and reactions to the ship teases are funny.

Amen sister! If you're going to pair two characters together from a series make sure that the evidance is clearly there and that everyone can see it. Don't go pairing two characters that have had little to no interaction whatsoever.

Okay, I can see why you would be upset with Spongebob and Archie but you said you only heard what happened with the Looney Tunes show. So I'm guessing you didn't watch it. I'm also guessing you didn't know that Bugs and Lola just met in that episode. And it was only 3 days or so after they met that they were getting married because Lola assumed that Bugs was proposing when he was actually bending down on knee to pick up a mint he dropped.
Yeah she ran off with Pepe. A guy that she knew at the country club she goes too. And he kept saying that Bugs was So lucky to have her. So its not really out of nowhere cuz they clearly knew who eachother were when Pepe walked in. Besides, it would be just bad writing to have Bugs get married in the second episode. That would be bad for any show whether its about romance or not. (In this case comedy of course. It is the Looney Tunes after all.)
Plus, I'm pretty sure Lola will return because she's supposed to best friends with Tina. (The new Melissa Duck) And she'll probably be Pepe-less because his past 7 marriages haven't gone well, so his relationship with Lola might not last. And this is probably most likely because the site calls Lola "Bugs's Semi-girlfriend" when you look under characters.
So there is still hope for your ship in this show. C= But yeah, I like/dislike ship teases, they can be fun if done right. Ah, sorry for the long comment.

Technically, Pepe did show he had feelings for Lola with his "So lucky, so so lucky" lines. He found her attractive. She thought he was a charmer when they were discussing wedding plans, you could tell from the way she acted. Did you see the entire episode?

This is why I like these kinds of episodes. Relationships don't matter in cartoon comedies, so it's amusing when people take their shipping that seriously.
It's really the creators saying to the fan, "Um, hello? This show isn't ABOUT relationships. If you want to go play shipping, go watch a drama!"

you can't focus on comedy 100%.
π: 0 β©: 1
you need more than that.
π: 0 β©: 1
In a cartoon show about a bunny and a duck? Nah, kids focus on slapstick better than relationships. Unless you're one of those childhood shippers, which aren't very common.

what about the older viewers that watch it?
π: 0 β©: 1
The network is obviously going to care for older viewers, but not as much as they care for younger viewers. Because younger viewers ARE their main audience. For instance, in a baby show like, say, Handy Manny, they're not going to throw in an affair between Manny and what's-her-name at the store. Because it's a BABY SHOW.
There are shows for "older audiences" where relationships between characters are off-limits, such as Fillmore, or The Weekenders, and you know what? Viewers can focus on absolutely nothing but the plot, without shipping getting in the way. So it can work.

I didn't say you can't focus totally on the plot, I said you can't focus totally on comedy. there needs to be a serious moment, and why not romance?
π: 0 β©: 1
For a better example then, think of comedy skits. They don't need to have serious moments- as a matter of fact, they SHOULDN'T. Because the whole point of it is to make the audience laugh- NOT SHIP. Most of the original Looney Toon shorts didn't even have "serious moments". Actually, non of them did. That's because no one should take it seriously, which brings us back to the point of PEOPLE CAN FOCUS ON COMEDY WITHOUT GETTING BORED.
π: 0 β©: 1
but the new Loooney Tunes isn't a series of skits, it has continuity. your point is moot.
π: 0 β©: 1
I wasn't saying that the New Looney Toon show shouldn't have continuity, I was saying that people CAN focus on comedy.
And I was right. People can.
π: 0 β©: 1
if the new show has continuity, it should have serious moments. all comedies have them.
π: 0 β©: 1
Once again, I'm not talking about the new show. I'm talking about any show in general that focuses on comedy. So yeah. IT'S POSSIBLE.

Rat Race hate a serious moment when they decided to give the money away.
π: 0 β©: 1
I'm sorry, but could you explain that last statement properly?
π: 0 β©: 1
typo. the movie Rat Race had a serious moment when the characters decided to give the money they spent all this time selfishly trying to get, away to charity.
π: 0 β©: 1
So? That does not disprove my statement that a show can survive the audience's attention span without romance/serious moments.

I had thought of a good example to counter your argument. but I forgot it.

Then just call it a day.

you are supposed to take fiction seriously. Linkara went on a rant about this in his newest video.

he reviews bad comic books on thatguywiththeglasses.com. he ranted about how characters die pointlessly in "Ultimatum" and how it reinforces the idea that you shouldn't became emotionally invested in a character or care what happens to them. and you SHOULD be emotionally invested and care.

a lot of people who create fiction treat there characters as real people to a point, why shouldn't the reader/viewer?
