Which TV Pair Of Best Friends Are You And Your Best Friend?

By Alexandra Brown on May 22, 2015

T.V. has given us many relationships and friendships to follow and relate to. What’s perhaps the most fun, though, is watching our favorite shows and following our favorite characters, which includes following pairs of best friends.

Each pair has its own entertaining dynamic, with each character exhibiting unique personalities. Although it may seem like each duo has its own set of problems, drama and personality, they all have a lot more in common than it seems.

Here are six famous T.V. duos. Which pair are you and your best friend?

1. Lane and Rory – Gilmore Girls

Although the show offers a wide variety of interesting characters, “Gilmore Girl’s” Lane and Rory are the town’s favorite set of best friends. Rory is the daughter of perhaps the coolest mom known to mankind, and Lane is the daughter of perhaps the strictest, most oppressive mom of all-time. So naturally, they gravitate toward one another.

They met in preschool, and were inseparable ever since, even though Rory eventually decides to ditch Stars Hollow High for the fancy private prep school, Chilton.

The show’s small-town vibe makes it a favorite for cozying up to and watching on a lazy Sunday, and Rory’s quick wit paired with Lane’s quirkiness make them a pair that is always enjoyable to watch.

2. Blair and Serena – Gossip Girl

Taking a 180-degree turn from “Gilmore Girls,” “Gossip Girl” offers a completely different scene. As opposed to the small town of Stars Hollow where everyone knows you and everything about your life, “Gossip Girl” is set in the fast-paced Big Apple: NYC: The Upper East Side, to be more specific.

Serena is the tall, blonde, traditionally glamorous one, while Blair is the pretty, preppy one obsessed with status. The two clash on multiple occasions, making the show what it is.

Throughout all of the drama, Serena and Blair manage to remain best friends. Even when Serena gets caught with Blair’s boyfriend, or when Blair surprisingly ends up dating Serena’s longtime squeeze, Dan Humphrey, for five minutes, the two are friends until the end.

3. Monica and Rachel – Friends

The characters of Monica Gellar and Rachel Green undeniably represent the classic, post-college female roommate duo, although their reconnection was somewhat of a surprise.

They had been best friends in high school; Rachel was the pretty, popular friend, while Monica struggled a great deal with her weight and self-image. The two are reunited when Rachel stumbles into the characters’ favorite coffee shop hangout after having just walked out on her wedding.

These two also clash because of their differing personalities, although their friendship makes sense because of them. Rachel is laid back, and somewhat of a pushover, while Monica is bossy, anal, and a neat freak. They drive each other crazy sometimes, but are always there for each other in the long run.

4. J.D. and Turk – Scrubs

A favorite bromance in television is definitely J.D. and Turk from “Scrubs.” The two met as college roommates, and end up working together in the same hospital as doctors.

Through all of their shenanigans, they always have each other’s backs.

5. Sex and the City women – Sex and the City

“Sex and the City” nails it with four personalities of four completely different women. There’s Carrie, the laid back, always stylish writer who is constantly analyzing relationships, and working on her own. Miranda is the straightedge lawyer, portrayed as career-obsessed and constantly busy. Samantha, on the other hand, is the fun, hot, sex-obsessed one, and Charlotte is the prudish, conservative, preppy one whose main goal is to find a husband.

Although they each have completely different personalities, they all find a way to get along, and to complement each other. There isn’t one character who is closer with another, in this case, like the above best friend duos. In their case, they are a group of four who are all equally close with one another, and who basically serve as family to each other.

6. Hannah and Marnie – Girls

Out of all of these shows, television’s newest best friend duo would have to be Hannah Horvath and Marnie Michaels from HBO’s “Girls.” The two best friends met in college at Oberlin, and could not have more opposite personalities.

Hannah is the free-spirited, sexually curious, liberal writer who could definitely be described as extremely self-centered. Marnie, on the other hand, dresses conservatively, is high strung and uptight, and could be described as someone whose main goal in life is to find a significant other, rather than find themselves first.

The two clash on countless occasions, but always manage to be there for one another through heartache, unemployment, breakups, or whatever other problems come along in post-college life in New York City.
