Relationships That Wouldn't Work in Reality

Hollywood cooks up some screwed up matches

Share

(Newser) – Hollywood’s great at making us root for relationships that shouldn’t work. But some of them really shouldn’t work. The Nerve imagines if the following couples moved in next-door:

  • Beauty and the Beast: No, I’m not kissing a dog … he’s really a prince! I swear!
  • Buffy and Angel (Buffy the Vampire Slayer): She’s 16, and he’s more than 200, and, oh yeah, dead. So it’s illegal in multiple ways, and creepy, too.

  • Dexter and Rita (Dexter): “The baseline for a successful relationship should be just a bit higher than ‘did not kill significant other today.’”
  • Don Draper and Anyone (Mad Men): You’re either rooting for a guy to leave his wife and kids, or rooting for a wife to stay with a philandering guy who lies to her about his own name.
  • George Michael and Maeby (Arrested Development): They’re sweet, they’re awkward … and they’re cousins (sort of).
For more, check the source.

Hey Dr. Z, what's your fascination with people you think might be gay? You work it into every thread you can. It's a little odd. Reply

That's why I prefer all my relationships to be imaginary. Reply
