12. Ross and Rachel, ‘Friends’

I know, they’re considered one of sitcom history’s shining romances, the ultimate will-they-won’t-they. But, guess what? Ross and Rachel suck together. He’s a whining nerd and she’s a vapid ninny. Sure, they’re hilarious to watch on screen … but only when they’re not together. So much of the show was wasted on the possibility of Ross and Rachel when couples of far more chemistry and far more obvious connections were all but skipped over. Joey and Phoebe were great together. Joey and Rachel worked, too. And yet, time and again, the show’s creators tried to push Ross and Rachel, the relationship equivalent of oil and vinegar. Also, they were totally on a break.
