Top 5 Team Ups of All Time

Top 5 Greatest Team Ups of All Time:
(in no particular order)

1. The Punisher and Archie.
Why is this one of the top team ups of all time according to Proctor Anderson?
The sheer wonder of how this happened is what is so amazing to me about this. Archie is a fun loving small town red head who is tangled up in high school crushes...and the Punisher is one of the most relentless vigilante crime fighters in all the Marvel Universe. How these gentlemen met is a mystery to me, but there is no doubt in my mind that magical things happened when they got together.

2. The Jetsons and The Flintstones.
I guess this one pretty much makes sense, why not take my two favorite cartoon families from different centuries and combine in one mixed up made for TV movie. This one rocked my world as a kid. I think i only saw it once or twice but i LOVED it. Basically the kid from the Jetsons builds a time machine and then...well i don't know. Even though i don't remember anything from the plot, i still feel like it is safe to say that it was awesome.

3. The 1996 Olympic Dream Team.
This team completley blew me out of the water. I know, i don't seem like the basketball type...and sure i was only 8 when this all went down, but i thought this team was the greatest thing to EVER happen. First of all lets break it down. The team consisted of Charles Barkley, Karl Malone, Scottie Pippen, David Robinson, John Stockton, Shaquille O'Neal, and Hakeem Olajuwon. And sure there were some other players, but that right there is 7 of the Top 50 NBA players of all time. The team took home the gold medal that year and they will forever hold a special place in my heard. Interesting Trivia Fact: I wrote the essay on my SAT about the 96 Dream Team.

4. Sonic & Knuckles.
Since around 1993 i have been a proud owner of a Sega Genesis and because of that i have a much stronger relationship with speedy blue hedgehog known as Sonic. While most kids my age were busy playing Mario and saving a virtual princesses, i was busy stopping the evil Dr. Robonik from turning all the innocent animals of the world into his robot minons. After i made my way through the first three Sonic games i thought i pretty much had everything in the world of sonic figured out and then Sonic changed EVERYTHING. Well not really everything, they just added the ability to play as an echidna named Knuckles...and to be perfectly honest he was pretty much exactly the same as sonic but he could punch people and glide. To this day i still don't really know what an echidna is.

5. Snoop Dogg and Dr. Dre.
In my mind the finest team in the world of hip hop. How can you deny these two guys? Imagine if Emperor Palpetine and Darth Vader were both good guys, and then imagine if the Emperor was a famous rap producer and Vader was one of the freshest rappers to ever come out of the east coast...thats basically Dre and Snoop for you. If you like hip hop then you have to respect these guys regardless of where you stand on the East Coast/West Coast battle of the mid 90's. In 2001 both Dre and Snoop starred in comedy called The Wash about working at a car wash in south central Los Angeles.
