Top 10 Most Satisfying Animated TV Kisses of All Time

A girl’s first kiss is a big deal, and Mabel was lucky enough to catch herself a merman. Mermando didn’t make it easy for Mabel though; she has to save him from the community pool in the middle of the night, and he almost suffocates. Luckily, Dipper gives him reverse CPR, securing his ‘first kiss’ and some blackmail for his twin sister. It was Mabel’s first and last kiss with Mermando, but his letter reveals that she stole at least one of his 17 hearts… at least it was memorable!

He's a guy from "the stupid ages" and she's an accomplished captain from the future. Thanks to accidental time travel, they’re able to come together and kiss. This particular kiss was born of necessity, but that didn’t make it any less satisfying. After spending time in a robot asylum, Fry thinks he is a robot, so Leela kisses him to give him a spark of humanity. Sadly, it doesn’t work. He only beeps in response, although it’s a hilarious moment. Even though the kiss was one-sided, it was pretty steamy, and it was the moment fans had been waiting three seasons for!

#8: Star Butterfly & Marco Diaz
“Star vs. the Forces of Evil” (2015-)

Top 20 Moments From Star Wars Rebels

After three seasons of fighting the forces of Evil together, these two finally kiss. The kiss is just as sweet and innocent as fans were expecting, but their reaction is definitely not. They just stare wide-eyed at each other, sputtering at what just happened, until Fotino bursts into the room. In Marco’s defense, he really had no choice but to kiss Star. What else are you supposed to do when locked in a ‘magical’ photo booth? It definitely wasn’t the best timing since Star had a boyfriend, but now they’ll have a souvenir from this awkwardly-sweet moment.

There have been many kisses between Danny and Sam, aka “fake-out make-outs,” but this kiss is really real. Danny is on his way to try and save the world so he finally lets Sam know his true feelings, and he leaves her with a kiss. Neither of them knows what will happen. Danny may not come back, so this kiss is full of urgency, uncertainty, and love. Thankfully, this is Nickelodeon we’re talking about… Sam and Danny fly off into the distance at the end, safe and happy. Another great end to another great show.

You get a kiss, and you get a kiss, everyone gets a kiss! The group was in good spirits after defeating The Light. It was New Years and the perfect time for kissing. Kid Flash leads the charge by scooping Artemis up, bridal style, and they kiss. He echoes all our thoughts when he says he should have done it sooner, but he couldn’t have picked a better moment. Starting a relationship is a great way to end the first season and start the New Year. Red Tornado is the only one not to get a kiss, but we’re pretty sure he prefers it that way.

“Steven Universe” has been leading the charge for LGBTQ+ representation in cartoons since its inception. Ruby and Sapphire’s relationship has been a central focus. It was the first kids cartoon to show a same-sex engagement and the first same-sex wedding, which is where we get this gem of a kiss. A historical kiss full of promise, love, and so many feels! As they kiss, Ruby sweeps Sapphire up and they fuse together to make Garnet! The entire gang came together to make the wedding extra special and we definitely feel the love.

Top 10 Katara & Aang Moments on Avatar: The Last Airbender

Despite the age difference, just about a hundred years, these two are meant to be together. From the moment they meet, Aang has feelings for the bad*ss waterbender, but Katara took a little longer to realize her feelings. This kiss doesn’t happen until the last episode of the last season, that’s 61 episodes of waiting, but it’s worth it. The world is finally safe from the Fire Nation and all that’s left for Aang and Katara to do is enjoy their future together. The kiss is full of hope and excitement, making for a great finale.

“Adventure Time” (2010-18)

The Crown Season 4 Princess Diana Fashion: Fact or Fiction

“Adventure Time” has had its fair share of interesting kisses… like the time Finn kissed Mega Frog to break his curse, or the time he kissed Princess Bubblegum to break her curse. Luckily, the kiss between Bubblegum and Marceline has nothing to do with curses. For years fans have suspected that these ‘rivals’ were secretly in love, and after several long seasons this kiss finally gave ‘Bubbline’ fans sweet vindication. When Bubblegum almost dies, Marceline is so relieved she’s okay that they kiss! Yay, for more LGBTQ+ representation on the Cartoon Network! It’s sad that the show is over, but we know Marcy and Bonnie are out there, living their adventure.

Top 10 Cutest Phineas & Isabella Moments on Phineas and Ferb

Every so often, an episode comes along that’s special, and this one is super special. It’s set 10 years in the future, making Phineas and Ferb teenagers, and it aired just before Valentine’s Day, so romance is in the air. Alas, poor Phineas is too stressed about choosing a college that he didn’t even notice. Isabella had been crushing on him for years… crushing hard. Thankfully, everyone else noticed and convinced Phineas in time for him to chase Isabella down and kiss her before she left for college. They grow up so fast!

Here’s the sitch: these two have been through a lot together over the years and even saved the world a few times. They’ve had first kisses, almost kisses, and cheek kisses. For this list, we’re going to focus on their most bittersweet kiss, their last one. It happens in the series finale while they’re zooming into their future together in a flying car, which definitely gives them style points. Ron was afraid that they would break up after graduation, but this kiss ties everything together and ends the show on a happy – not to mention deeply satisfying – note.
