50 TV Couples Who Had No Chemistry, No Passion, And No Business Being Together

Some on-screen couples have such electric chemistry they could power a city. Others, however, have all the spark of a wet matchstick, and no amount of money could fix it.

Curious to see the worst of the worst, one woman on Threads asked the internet to share the most painfully mismatched TV couples. And of course, the responses were brutal. Check out their picks below and let us know if you agree—or if you have your own to add!

hmmm harry potter and ginny made zero sense from the movie POV

Rachel & Joey weirded us all out for a season

For me Ron and Hermione….I wish they just stayed friends.

I’m still angry they sent Jaime crawling back to Cersei (Game of Thrones) like he had no growth at all 😩

Jackie and Fez (That 70s Show)

Ross and Emily on Friends. So annoying.

Ted Mosby and every girlfriend on How I Met Your Mother, esp Robin

George and Izzie on Grey’s!

Grissom and Sara on CSI. Very forced.

#10

George O’Malley and Callie (Grey’s Anatomy)

#11

Jon Snow and Daenerys Targaryen (Game of Thrones)

#12

Booth & Hannah on Bones 🥶

#13

Deb and Dexter 🤢

#14

Oliver Queen and Felicity Smoak in Arrow

#15

Hulk & black widow. Her & hawk eye had more chemistry. They even went to vomir & she sacrificed herself to get the stone (which I thought you could only do if you sacrifice the one person you love the most? Hmm 🤔)

#16

Penny and Leonard on Big Bang Theory was so forced 🙄🤣🤣

#17

Jackson Avery and Maggie Pierce (Grey’s Anatomy) 😤

#18

Barry & Iris (The Flash)

#21

Zach and Lane in Gilmore Girls

#22

Ray and Debra on everybody loves Raymond

#23

Rory and Dean (Gilmore Girls)

#24

Britta and Troy. They actually had amazing potential with the dice episode in season 3. But they totally screwed it all up in season 4. They didn’t even have a plan for their relationship. They could have not been a couple and it wouldn’t have made a difference in the story

#25

Anne and Tom (Parks and Rec)

#26

The f*****g 50 shades of grey people. Absolutely slaughtered the entire book casting those two

#27

Blair and Dan Humphrey (Gossip Girl) 🤢

#28

Okay, I know it’s a movie but Newt and Tina from Fantastic Beasts. Shoehorned that in meanwhile Queenie and Jacob are adorable.

#29

Probably going to have to hide for this, but Kurt & Blaine on Glee had best friends chemistry, not great lovers chemistry. *ducks tomatoes*

#30

Emily and EVERY MAN ON THE SHOW on “Emily in Paris”

#31

Emma and Graham in Once Upon a Time !!! It was so weird bc they had no full proper conversations or anythin banter he got drunk and kissed her. She made it clear she wasn’t interested so many times so why did she suddenly decide different 😭😭

#32

Shawn and Katie (Girl Meets World)

#33

Emily and Paige from pretty little liars

#34

Ann Perkins and Chris Traeger on Parks and Rec

#35

Stefan and Caroline from Vampire Diaries

#36

Archie and Veronica from Riverdale
Guzman and Ari from Elite

#37

Markle and that bloke Mike in Suits. So bad.

#38

Jonah Hill & Lauren London in You People. Love them both, just not as a “couple”

#39

I almost wanna say Jay and Gloria from Modern Family😬 or even sometimes Mitch and Cam

#40

Ms Parker & professor Oglevee. She wanted him for years and finally moved on. About to get married then he shows up! And she actually takes him smh she should have stayed with the man who actually loved her. Professor only missed the attention she gave him he didn’t love her at all! He was repulsed by her now on her big day here you come.
