When posed with this question, the panic set in. As an avid TV watcher, having to choose just one duo that stands out above the rest is one of the hardest decisions I’ve had to make (I clearly have a lot going on in my life!).
There are so many to choose from! Starting with the somewhat obvious ‘FRIENDS’ duos – Chandler and Joey, Joey and Phoebe, Monica and Ross, and any other combination you can think of. Or maybe from the ‘Brooklyn 99’ gang: the bromance between Jake Peralta and Charles Boyle, or the unlikely friendship between Gina Linetti and Captain Ray Holt. From my all-time favourite show, ‘Modern Family’, we have Jay Pritchett and his precious little princess, Stella the dog – not one many would have thought of, but a definite iconic friendship.
But one duo that proves there is no contest is Jim Halpert and Dwight Schrute from ‘The Office, US’.
Yes, in the beginning, they aren’t technically friends, with all the hilarious pranks that Jim pulls on Dwight in the workplace. But through very entertaining and heart-warming means, they become the closest of friends. And didn’t it just melt your heart when Jim agreed to be Dwight’s ‘bestest mensch’ (best person) at his wedding!
