The 15 Worst TV Sitcom Couples of All Time

9. Andy and Angela, ‘The Office (U.S.)’

Andy and Angela kind of defy explanation. When most terrible couples collide, you want things to end for the sake of the doomed participants. In the case of Andy and Angela, however, it’s hard to feel bad for either party, because they’re just so individually unpleasant. If you knew these people in real life, you’d likely just sit back and stare open-mouthed at their train wreck of a relationship rather than help either of them. Of course, just because they’re fun to watch doesn’t make their relationship any less terrible.

8. Ann and Tom, ‘Parks and Recreation’

Late in the otherwise flawless fourth season of NBC’s Parks and Recreation, the show’s writers made the extremely ill-advised decision to get Ann Perkins and Tom Haverford together, in spite of the fact that he could set her off by simply breathing in her general vicinity. Their entire relationship (or series of relationships if you kept count of the number of times they broke up and reunited) was one bad idea and one awkward joke after another.

7. Jackie and Fez, ‘That 70’s Show’

The relationship between Jackie and Fez seems more a matter of convenience than chemistry. Sure, he’d spent the whole series lusting after her, but that was hardly special. Fez would lust after anything with boobs. What’s more important is that she began the series hating him and that never really changed until all of her other romantic opportunities dried up. That’s to say nothing of the fact that their courtship was one of the most awkward and chemistry-free in TV history. She should have ended up with Hyde.
