Random TV Characters Who Would Never Be Friends In Real Life (15 items)

• 

  (#15) Mork & Mindy

  • TV Program

  Let's set aside the fact these two managed to fall in love and even have a small "Orkan" child together. If humanity ever encounters extraterrestrial life and it comes in the form of the manic and cartoonish Mork, it's safe to say we're not going to be taken over anytime soon.

  If anything, humanity would simply distract an invasion of Morks with something shiny before hopping aboard their own spaceships to get as far away from them as possible. Most of us don't have the saint-like patience to teach our parents how to convert a Word doc into a PDF, so one can only imagine the cosmic (and truly unbelievable) level of affection Mindy develops for Mork to show him literally everything on Earth.

  (#6) Gossip Girl

  • TV Program

  They say "keep your friends close, but your enemies closer." In the case of Serena van der Woodsen and Blair Waldorf from The CW's Gossip Girl, it's hard to imagine these two being anything but the latter.

  They two high school socialites have seen countless ups and downs, most of which only ever generated more friction between the two. As a result, these two are more like "frenemies" than anything else, which may mirror some relationships in real life, but not healthy ones.

  (#3) Ren and Stimpy

  • Fictional Character

  Let's get straight to the point: this is an unhealthy relationship. Ren, the miserable, conniving, and cruel Chihuahua constantly mistreats his "friend" and roommate, Stimpy the cat. He slaps him, takes things from him, berates him - and always apologizes to keep Stimpy from leaving.

  Stimpson J. Cat, on the other hand, is known for leaving his kitty litter and "magic nose goblins" in the fridge, next to all of the duo's food. We've all left food in the fridge for too long, or done any number of disgusting things our roommate or significant other doesn't approve of, but Stimpy takes things too far.

  Between Ren's sociopathic behavior and Stimpy's, well, Stimpy-ness, there's no way these two personalities could ever function together in the real world.

  (#14) Batman & Robin

  • Film

  Comic and television's most dynamic duo would probably not be so close in real life. Although the two share a common bond - both of their parents were tragically killed before their eyes - the grief spiral that drove each of them to become costumed vigilantes probably speaks more to their dangerously unhinged psyches than anything else.

  Being Batman and Robin, crime-fighters is one thing- but being Bruce Wayne and Dick Grayson, supremely-wealthy adult man and untrained teenaged mentee with a total of four murdered parents between them, is something else entirely.

  (#1) South Park

  • TV Program

  Eric Cartman & Kyle Broflovski are barely friends on South Park, but if these two kids encountered each other in real life, chances are they would be taking lots of trips to the nurse's office, principal's office, detention, and potentially even juvenile hall. 

  While Kyle often takes Cartman's anti-Semitic insults in stride, he's been known to snap every so often, which would make this particular friendship nearly impossible to sustain - not to mention the multitude of other crimes committed by Cartman that Kyle must endure.

  (#13) 30 Rock

  • TV Program

  The bond between head writer Liz Lemon (Tina Fey) and corporate big-wig Jack Donaghy (Alec Baldwin) was a bizarre circumstance right out the gate. Liz comes from the world of sketch comedy and fart jokes, while Jack is a ruthless, Six Sigma-suit whose initial primary goal is to gain complete control of NBC.

  While they form a unique friendship over the course of the show, it's likely these two would never find a common ground in real life, as each would be so repulsed by the other that even a quirky TV "meet-cute" moment would only send the other running in the other direction.
