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!

Rachel & Joey weirded us all out for a season

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 🤔)

Probably going to have to hide for this, but Kurt & Blaine on Glee had best friends chemistry, not great lovers chemistry. *ducks tomatoes*
#23
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
#24
Anne and Tom (Parks and Rec)
#25
Rory and Dean (Gilmore Girls)

#26
Zach and Lane in Gilmore Girls

Ms Parker & professor Oglevee. She wanted him for years and finally moved on. About to get married then he shows up!

He was repulsed by her now on her big day here you come.
