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

• 

  (#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.

  (#2) Breaking Bad

  • TV Program

  Over the course of Breaking Bad, these two go to Hell and back - and almost all of it's due to Walter White's steady transformation into his own monstrous "Heisenberg" creation. While a common ground (and some might say, a "friendship") forms over their tumultuous journey, it's safe to say they would never cross paths with one another in real life from the get-go, let alone when things truly start to unravel towards the end. 

  On top of Jesse Pinkman's relationship with Walt, it's hard to imagine anyone staying within his same orbit, including his "closest" friends, Badger, Combo, and Skinny Pete. If drugs were the only things keeping them together, it's not exactly a friendship built to last.

  (#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.

  (#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.

  (#7) How I Met Your Mother

  • TV Program

  "Haaaaave you met Ted?" Chances are, if you're actually the Barney Stinson type, the answer is yes - but there's no way you're going to end up as friends with that Ted. Womanizing Barney became a better person on the show because he was surrounded by better people.

  But even with a chance encounter in a men's bathroom that sparked their friendship (specifically, Barney's intention to help Ted), Barney never would have become the person he was by the end of the series. Not only that, but it's hard to believe Barney would ever take the time to help out someone like Ted in the first place. In his mind, it's more akin to descending from his golden palace to helping a lowly, sexless peasant. And if you're someone like Barney, would you ever dedicate any time of your life to helping a total stranger like this?

  (#12) The X-Files

  • TV Program

  It's hard to define this one as an actual "friendship," since Dr. Dana Scully was assigned to Agent Fox Mulder's "X-Files" division. But over the years, the two formed a unique relationship after encountering dozens of bizarre paranormal and extraterrestrial occurrences.

  Thing is though, they have polar opposite personalities and beliefs, which is enough to squash any friendship in the real world. Mulder is open to virtually any and every type of urban legend, while Scully is steadfast in her convictions that science can prove or disprove any evidence of the supernatural.

  They say opposites attract, but these two would repel each other immediately in reality.
