(#11) Family Guy
- TV Program
Sure, it's tough to say exactly how cartoon characters would behave in the real world, but in the case of Peter Griffin and Glenn Quagmire, there are some personality quirks that would be hard to overlook. Quagmire's aggressive sexual behavior towards Peter's wife Lois would definitely be a source of contempt - having a friend who's constantly lusting after your wife would certainly cause a couple of buddies to burn bridges.
Maybe they would see one another at an awkward barbecue among mutual friends every few years, but overall, there's no way these two would be routinely going out for beers.

(#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.

(#9) It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia
- TV Program
Schemes upon schemes upon schemes - the gang on It's Always Sunny are more like a dysfunctional family than a functioning group of adult friends. Somehow cosmically tied to one another (probably because no one else in the world would want to be around them), the crew always find ways to back-stab or betray one another, which would certainly end horribly in real life.
Most humans would never poison members of a rival bar, or create a system to be psychologically manipulative towards women, or shove one another into the path of oncoming traffic to try and score World Series tickets - but the gang does. Between the five of them, there's no way they would be actual friends, and chances are one of them would bite the dust due to their wild antics.

(#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.
-
(#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.
