  • Dumb & Dumber, Dumb & Dumber To

  In the 1994 film, Dumb & Dumber, Lloyd Christmas (Jim Carrey) falls head over heels – and off a jetway – for Mary Swanson (Lauren Holly). He coerces his buddy, Harry (Jeff Daniels), onto a journey all the way to Aspen (where women instinctively flock like the salmon of Capistrano), only to be frozen into a painful friendzone. He didn't even see it coming!

  (#25) Jan Brady

  • The Brady Bunch Hour, The Brady Bunch, The Brady Bunch Movie, A Very Brady Sequel

  (#22) Tony Markovich

  • Shameless

  On Shameless, boy-next-door, hot cop Tony Markovich would love nothing more than to be Mr. Fiona Gallagher. But she likes bad boys – and sweet and stable Tony's only good enough for her friendzone. Has she no shame? (None of the Gallaghers do. That's the point.)

  (#3) Quasimodo

  • The Hunchback of Notre Dame, Esmeralda, The Hunchback of Notre Dame, The Hunchback, The Hunchback of Notre Dame, The Hunchback of Notre Dame, The Hunchback of Notre Dame, Esmeralda, The Hunchback of Notre Dame, The Hunchback of Notre Dame, The Hunchback of Notre Dame, Notre-Dame de Paris

  Poor, poor Quasimodo. Not only is he an orphan with an awful adopted father who lives in a lonely bell tower and is unanimously hated by all of Paris for no reason, he risks his life for beautiful Esmerelda only to be friendzoned in The Hunchback of Notre Dame. It's enough to make you gargoyle yourself.
