I think it's more laughing at the people then the pairing. I have taken the stand point of trying to debate why SS would be true and there is simply no proof without the object of fandom. If you look at the SS threads you will see more stuff like "SS talks are always special!" or something like that. They really do not relate much plot to there pairing as evidence because there is a lack of it.
It's kind of like school. If some kid comes in wearing a duck outfit there's going to be some people think "WoW! COol!" Some will just point and lol @ you.
Sadly true. When I first visit those site, I wanted to see good argumentation. All the good argument, if you can call them that (and I'm not only saying that for SS but also for NH and even Shikatema and other less remarkable couple) where coming from part one.
Once you think about it NH would not really be a bad pairing based upon the types of people they are. One is loud one is quiet. They have lots and lots of stuff about them that fits well together. Just NH also lacks plot and as of right now has no ability to become cannon unless a huge change happens.
Agreed, I was once a NH believer and the only thing that bug me is the almost none existence development. If Kishi would have done more development, I really wouldn't have mind and it could have been cute. (OK fellow NS fan, don't trow me tomato please

)
SS, I never like them but if Sasuke would still be the Sasuke in part 1 (he was emo but he wasn't evil) maybe with more development (maybe is the key word) it could have some chance. However, Sasuke, even if he was more 'friendly', never really show love interest for Sakura or any girl, as a matter of fact. The hint were more coming from Sakura. If he would have, it would have be longer to show (well, I doubt before 'killing his brother' wish)
But with more development, NH would have better chance than SS
