Transcript
00:00Well, whatever happened with Mako, I'm glad it hasn't come between us.
00:04I've never had a girlfriend to hang out with and talk to before.
00:07Welcome to Miss Mojo, and today we're looking at some of the most unexpected cartoon love stories on TV.
00:13They're not necessarily the ones involving unrequited love, but mostly pairings that surprised us.
00:19Expect major spoilers.
00:3010. Filbert Shellback and Dr. Paula Hutchison
00:34Rocko's Modern Life
00:36For those of you who forgot, my name is Dr. Hutchison.
00:44Kate?
00:45Isn't she cute?
00:46Originally, Filbert was meant to be a secondary character to add to the modern insanity of Rocko's life.
00:53Little did fans suspect that not only would he become a main character, but he would also find love.
00:59Dr. Hutchison is a perky cat of many medical professions, known for her toothy grin.
01:05For a hypochondriac like Filbert, Hutch is the perfect match, and the two end up married with four children by the end of the show.
01:12Daddy, this is Filbert, my new husband.
01:16Hello.
01:17Filbert, what's going on?
01:19We went and got hitched.
01:21Many will say that cats and turtles don't mix, and yet the love between these two proves them wrong.
01:26In addition, we're pleasantly surprised by how much development this relationship has received.
01:32Come to mommy, oh my little ones.
01:35I'm so happy for you, Filbert.
01:38Not now. I fainted.
01:409. Louise Belcher and Regular-Sized Rudy
01:43Bob's Burgers
01:45Yeah, what happens when you eat it?
01:47I don't know. I've never eaten it. I don't know it's...
01:48Just kidding.
01:53Damn it, Rudy!
01:55While Louise is shown crushing on pop star Boo Boo, there is one boy she has a natural chemistry with.
02:01Regular-Sized Rudy
02:02Rudy is an asthmatic, socially awkward boy, and yet he's able to keep up with Louise's chaotic nature and even talk her down at times.
02:11In turn, Louise shows a genuine concern for Rudy's safety and doesn't use him as much as she uses others.
02:18Her being protective of Rudy is surprisingly wholesome.
02:22But what really shocked us is how she kissed and slapped him on Valentine's Day, a rare show of affection from her.
02:28It might be just because she hates Rudy's crush, Chloe, or maybe there really is something more between these two.
02:43Sorry I kept pushing you when you were stressed out. And I'm sorry I called you a weenie. You're not. You're the opposite of a weenie.
02:50A beanie?
02:518. Sam and Dakota Milton
02:54Total Drama Revenge of the Island
02:56A gamer nerd and a fame-hungry rich girl? An unlikely pair if there ever was one.
03:11Despite their clear differences, Sam and Dakota slowly bond over time.
03:16Dakota even gives Sam her number right before he's eliminated.
03:19Then things really take a turn when Dakota gets mutated into the Dakota-zoid.
03:24Thanks again, Chris.
03:33Sam isn't afraid of Dakota's new form. Quite the opposite. He thinks it makes her even better.
03:42While Total Drama romances can be pretty messy, this pairing is honestly very heartwarming.
03:48Both are able to look past their external flaws to find true love in the most unexpected places.
03:54If only all of this show's couples could be this inspirational.
03:58You were cute before, but now you're like the hottest warrior in Mutazoid 5.
04:03You're the Dakota-zoid!
04:067. Daffy Duck and Tina Russo
04:14You're like an abandoned building that ought to be condemned.
04:19You know, busted windows, rats running around, a real nasty sewage situation.
04:25But maybe, if the right person got a hold of it and cleaned it up,
04:29maybe they could take that disgusting building and turn it into something not so disgusting.
04:35To balance out Bugs and Lola's zanier romance, we have a pairing that shouldn't work as well as it does.
04:41We all know Daffy Duck as a screwy narcissist, and in this show, it's given a more modern twist.
04:48Tina is a rebellious, snarky tomboy who takes no nonsense from anyone.
04:53And yet, their relationship is surprisingly wholesome.
04:56Tina loves Daffy despite his many, many flaws, and has enough patience to put up with his antics.
05:03Well, it looks like a dog ate your face.
05:06I liked your bump. I like all your imperfections.
05:09Well, not all of them.
05:10Your imperfections are what make you, you.
05:13And I like you.
05:14Meanwhile, Daffy actually cares for someone besides himself, even trying to support her when he can.
05:20This pairing is so unexpected that Daffy even calls Tina insane for loving him.
05:26It's hard to argue with that, honestly.
05:28I love you.
05:30What? You're not gonna kill me?
05:32Eh, call me crazy.
05:34Actually, I called you a psychopath.
05:36Now, uh, where's my catered dinner?
05:41Number 6. Marceline and Princess Bubblegum. Adventure Time.
05:47It's like I'm not even a person, am I?
05:53I'm just your problem.
05:56At the very start of the series, it looked like Finn, the human, and Princess Bubblegum were meant to be.
06:03However, as the show progressed, we sensed something between Bubblegum and Marceline, the vampire queen.
06:10While it wasn't outright stated, fans speculated that they were romantically involved, but it didn't end happily.
06:16These theories were ultimately confirmed in the finale when the two shared a kiss.
06:21Not only was it satisfying seeing this theory confirmed, but it was also heartwarming to watch the two
06:39rekindle their relationship over the course of the show.
06:42The only other couple that surprised us this much was Jake and Lady Rainicorn.
06:47Mostly because of how wholesomely unhinged they are.
06:51Lady! Oh, lady!
06:53Jackie, I have to tell you what's really important to me.
06:57I am pregnant!
07:01I'm puppies?
07:03Number 5. Kif Croaker and Amy Wong. Futurama.
07:07Kif, jump!
07:10My hero.
07:12Obviously, we're rooting for Fry and Leela's ongoing love story, but there's another connection on the show that catches our attention.
07:19Amy is a bubbly, outgoing party girl from Mars, while Kif is a shy Amphibiosan with literally no backbone.
07:27Two polar opposites, and yet they have an adorable chemistry.
07:31We could live here at the shore of the Tranquilibrious Sea in a timeshare, and I would pluck the moon from the sky just to see you smile.
07:43Almost got it.
07:45It seems to be sort of stuck.
07:47Oh, I love you!
07:54While they still have their falling outs and breakups, they still bring out a new side to each other.
08:00Kif gains more confidence over time, while Amy slowly grows more mature along the way, to the point where she willingly wants to raise a family with him.
08:08The fact that Amy overlooked his slimy exterior is already a promising start.
08:13As you become one with the ooze, so you become one with the Clang Broker.
08:18Oh, Kif, it's like a movie with this happening in it.
08:29Number 4, Luna Loud and Sam Sharp, The Loud House.
08:34See you later, Sam.
08:35Okay, see ya!
08:37Throughout the episode, Elle is for Love, Luna has been trying to find the confidence to ask out Sam, the person of her dreams.
08:45Sam's identity is purposely left vague throughout the episode until the very end, when we learn that Sam is another girl.
08:51Suffice it to say, Luna's confidence is well-rewarded, as the two are confirmed to be dating down the line.
08:58Luna and Sam have their occasional falling out, but they care for each other enough to work past their issues, and remain a loving, literally rocking power couple.
09:17What'd I tell you?
09:18Best dance ever.
09:20Thanks, Snowman.
09:22Number 3, Kim Possible and Ron Stoppable.
09:25Kim Possible.
09:26Kim is our titular, butt-kicking freelance hero, while Ron is the laid-back sidekick who can't hold onto his pants.
09:44Despite their differences, these two have been best friends since preschool, with fun and natural chemistry.
09:50There were subtle hints that they may actually like each other, but no one expected them to follow up on these feelings during junior prom, where they finally kissed.
10:00Even the rest of the school was shocked to see Kim and Ron become an item.
10:04Thankfully for us, they held onto their chemistry, and it became even more heartwarming.
10:18Except, they barely get a chance to kiss without being interrupted.
10:21Hey guys, I do-
10:23Uhhh!
10:25Uh, um, bad time to call?
10:27Hahaha.
10:29Number 2, Abigail Lincoln, Number 5, and Hoagie Gilligan Jr.
10:34Number 2, Codename Kids Next Door.
10:37I think first we'll have to couple up so as to avoid drawing attention to our real myth-
10:41Number 5 is the calm, cool, and collected second-in-command, while Number 2 is the dorky-jokey tech expert of Sector V.
10:53They're usually paired up on missions and have such a fun chemistry.
10:57Number 2, cracking his dumb jokes, while Number 5 says what most of us are thinking.
11:02Fans speculated on them getting together, but it seemed implausible until the series finale.
11:07During the interviews with the grown-up Sector V, it was confirmed that Hoagie and Abby eventually tied the knot as husband and wife.
11:15And would you mind hugging your own wife instead of mine?
11:20Hey! You're not Abby!
11:22It's nice to know that despite his groan-worthy puns, Hoagie managed to win Abby over in the end,
11:28once again cementing that opposites really do attract.
11:32I guess you could say they got their just dessert.
11:36Hehehe, you are so cool!
11:39Oh, just love you!
11:41Yeah!
11:41Love you, too!
11:43Before we unveil our top pick, here are a few honorable mentions.
11:47Gumball Watterson and Penny Fitzgerald, The Amazing World of Gumball.
11:52Gumball helps Penny literally come out of her shell.
11:55It's just how you feel.
11:57And this is how I feel.
11:58She was a monster, but he made her beautiful with his love!
12:18Hostelgado and Eris, the grim adventures of Billy and Mandy.
12:24A dim-winded paranormal hunter and the goddess of chaos, a match made in heaven.
12:28That happens to be Eris, the goddess of chaos.
12:32Yeah, so?
12:34She'll use her charms to steal your heart.
12:36Sounds good so far.
12:38Yeah!
12:39He's all yours, sister.
12:41Oh, I won't do anything to this big hunk's heart.
12:46I'll just banish him to the puppet dimension if he gives me any trouble.
12:51Jimmy Neutron and Cindy Vortex, The Adventures of Jimmy Neutron Boy Genius.
12:56They constantly shift from classroom rivals to unexpected lovers.
13:00I hate to say it, Jimmy, but aside from the man-eating plants, giant spiders, and vicious snakes,
13:07um, this isn't so bad.
13:09It seems like if we stay out of the denser parts of the jungle, we should be fun.
13:14Did you just call me Jimmy?
13:15Well, that is your name.
13:17Beast Boy and Raven, Teen Titans.
13:20While they don't officially hook up, it's hard to ignore the chemistry.
13:24You think you're alone, Raven, but you're not.
13:27Mordecai and Steph, Regular Show.
13:52After so many failed relationships, who expected Mordecai to find love?
13:57Standing, by the wall, by the wall.
14:05And the colors,
14:08shot up on my head,
14:10over our hands,
14:13and we kissed,
14:16there's no nothing for you.

14:321. Korra and Asami Sato
14:37The Legend of Korra
14:39That was amazing! I didn't think we'd make it!
14:42Well, you can't be afraid to mix it up sometimes.
14:45Korra and Asami had a rocky start as rivals for Mako's affection.
14:49But over time, they became like sisters.
14:52They emotionally supported each other even when the love triangle got messy.
14:56And even after, Asami stood by Korra's side when she was at her lowest.
15:01You know, nobody expects you to bounce back right away.
15:05It's only been two weeks.
15:07You need time to heal.
15:08I want you to know that I'm here for you.
15:14If you ever want to talk, or anything.
15:18The series' final scene caught our attention as the two leave on vacation together.
15:23And the sequel comics confirmed that the two were meant to be.
15:27Before the Loud House, same-sex couples on Nickelodeon seemed implausible.
15:31But The Legend of Korra changed all the rules thanks to some subtle hints at an iconic final shot,
15:37opening the door for more representation on the network.
