Ultimate Crossovers

No, I'm not talking Marvel vs DC. It's been done. I'm talking about the ones that you think of that are too silly to work, but still seem pretty cool. I've got two here, see if you can think of others.

In the world of Pokemon, young Ash Ketchum is on a Pokemon journey. His goal is to learn all about the Pokemon of the world, and to capture and train a few to fight for him in arenas set up for the purpose. When battling, Ash tosses a special Pokeball that contains the Pokemon into the arena, shouting the name of the monster and "I choose you!" Well, this naturally led me to think of the best fighters in the universe. Indeed, one formidable warrior from my youth sprang to mind when I saw young Ash battling, and I can't help but wonder if he would win every battle that started with "Miss Piggy, I choose YOU!" Across the battlefield goes the valiant pig, and when the opponent says, "A talking pig? Don't you have any REAL Pokemon?" Miss Piggy would respond with her wonderful temper and her "HAIIII-YA!" kick and punch, and ... oops, she's just taken down Ash's opponent, not the Pokemon.

Ok, maybe that one wouldn't work at all. But still, I get the giggles thinking about it. "Kermit, I choose you!" Hey, it's no more silly than "Mr Mime".

The other one I can think of is a mix of two favorite children's shows. Yes, that's right, it's SPONGEBOB THE BUILDER! "Can We Build A Pineapple Under The Sea?" "Yes We Can!"

Right... I think I'll just shut up now...
